Sounds like you might need winrar to extract the files. I remember there was some thing a friend told me about that needed that program to extract the files. winzip might work too though I am not well versed in computers. Not at all actually. lmao. I'll see if I can find the link he sent me to download a trial version of it. It's like 6 months free usage. After that you have to pay a nominal fee to keep it. I just let mine expire because it was just that one time I needed it to extract the files.

As for getting bored with d2. Guilty!

I've taken off the last 8 months from the game only getting online to perm my characters. I decided to start a new character from scratch and got to level 7 and was bored to tears. I just feel like I have been there done that. I've tried so many builds, conventional and unconventional. I can honestly say that unless they bring a shit ton of new content in the new patch I will be very quickly bored and go back to Last Chaos. Sad but true. D2 has lost it's flair for me. I patiently await the arrival of D3 so that I may continue on with the story.

Dangit! I can't link the video as I can't get to youtube but if you type in youtube. "Unknown lifeform found in North Carolina sewer" that thing is kinda creepy. Come to think of it. It may just be Lt. Venom's testicle ripped out of it's sack, flushed down the toilet and trying to crawl it's way back to you. Watch that video, it's kinda creepy and gross. It's on the internet so I don't believe it to be real but it is very convincing nonetheless.

Diablo 3 however seeing as its a little bit younger in development and was almost thought of a being forgotten about. Will now have Blizzerds full attention when Starcraft is out. And This means hey....its gona get done faster and possibly be more polished.

It is my understanding that each game has it's own team of developers, testers and programmers. Just because they'll put SC2 out first will in no way affect how long D3 is going to take before it is pumped out. They've said repeatedly that it will come out when it is ready, finely polished and to their standards. I agree with that stance. I don't anticipate that they'll put a starcraft developer on the D3 team unless it is completely neccessary.

As much as anybody else I am craving D3. To say that they'll shift focus more onto D3 doesn't make sense to me. They are very focused on it currently. I imagine the starcraft guys will continue to do work on that series fixing any bugs or glitches and imbalances when that game is open the general public and more is learned about the gameplay to a broader audience. If I am wrong please correct me.

My reputation is at 11. If ten is the default then I have only received 1. Honestly I had to look for my rep as I never care what it is anyway. How do I see who gave me rep? So I can flame them for putting me up on a pedestal. Give me negative rep or leave it alone. I'm aiming for the bottom of the barrel...Is -100 possible? Please get me there if so!

Ok I take blame since I brought up the frightening prospect of surgery. That reply leaves me wondering though....What were your balls before they were balls? Are you saying you were a bitch and the doctors fixed that? You had a sex change before you even had a say so in the matter? Are your spermies ever going to be able to swim the channel and find their nesting grounds?? Details Venom! I demand them. LOL. No if it isn't something you want to talk about then don't. Anyway that is freaky shit. Some sick ass doctor was touching your balls before you were even 1 year old. Thus solidifying my stance that they are some sick bastards cuttin people open, touching childrens genetalia, etc. under the guise of "helping you."

Having surgery and being in a semi-conscious state. One in which I can feel the pressure of the scalpel and the pain associated with being cut from pelvis to sternum and being too asleep to let them know I need to be knocked the fuck out. That thought terrifies me. I also cringe at the sight of needles or any talk about needles. Fuck I am wriggling in my seat typing about needles. Any kind of major surgery related shit just makes my skin crawl. I've been in and out of the hospital for minor surgery 13 times since I was 2 years old. Maybe that is why I hate going to the doctor?

Spirits, spiders, sharks, naked dead bitches...none of that shit scares me or even makes me wince but doctors....FUCK THAT!! You gotta imagine, serial killers and shit like to dissect their victims and whatever. Doctors are some sick ass motherfuckers that get their rocks off under the guise of helping people. Let me die a natural death unaware if my fucking heart is about to clog solid from eating too many baconators or whatnot. End rant

You guys are absolutely retarded to even be discussing the spelling of the name that much. Does it really matter? I think it is a cool design idea for a character. It sounds like something that would be fun to play. By the way that levitate would work wonders for crossing that gap in the barb gameplay vid. haha

Haha! Seriously I have seen very similar situations take place in duel games. God that makes my sides hurt.

@OP When a character behaves in such a manner they are running some kind of duel bot. You almost get them and they pop a tp and town. It is annoying really. What gets my goat is they talk so much smack and they really aren't even playing. Some people find the fun in having no challenge or skill. As long as they are winning they are content. What I love is the legit dueler that shuts those asshats up. They're out there. Sadly I am not one of them.

In Normal difficulty I hated act 2. The leapers and those damn beetles with there charged bolt kicked my ass or made me be overly cautious when playing hardcore that it took forever to get through and then Duriel awaits you in a telephone booth sized room. It was just insane. In Nightmare and Hell I would say Act 3. Not only is the jungle a fucking maze and a pain in the ass getting all the parts to make Khalim's will.....The Durance of Hate was fucking huge and those little undead stygian dolls or whatever they were just raped with their corpse explode. God I still hate those damn dolls. Amplify + Corpse Explode = dead motherfucker in most cases.

Is there some way of looking at your block percentage or something with your stats to know when you've maxed block? I've been trying to figure it out and can't for the life of me.

Press the letter a or c then hover over the word "defense." It will give you a % to block. 75% is max.

Quote from "DiligentPro" »

Okay, well thanks a lot everyone, appreciate it

I'm going to go with a Light sorc. I do have Infinity on my Pally merc which I can take off. Other than that, what skills sould I put in and what items shall I use? I want this to be a good character so I can MF through hell and still do loads of damage.

So,

Skills + Armor + Stats?

Thank you so much everyone !^_^

Ok since you have the tal rasha set go with it for now. This is a build I used for my light sorc. The only difference that I have made was letting her block chance drop when I leveled her further. All points went into vita. My chance to block is at 49% and she still tanks a ton.

Armor: Tal Rasha's set
Boots: Waterwalks, Stormtreks or War Traveler's(Trav's for mf)
Rings: 10% fcr, strength any other mods
Shield: Lidless wall w/um for res or ist for mf
Weapon swap: Call to arms/ Lidless Wall

This makes for low requirements so you'll have lots of stats left over to pump up your vita and dex. I think the most str you need is 85 for Tal armor.

Merc Setup:For Holy Freeze merc get act2 defensive in Nightmare diff./ For Defiance merc get act2 defensive in Norm or Hell diff. Both work well. See which you prefer.
Helm: Andariels Visage/ Vamp Gaze
Armor: Fortitude
Weapon: Infinity-this is a must for the immunes

Skills:
1 Frozen Armor
1 Warmth
1 Telekinesis
1 Teleport
1 Static
1 Thunderstorm-this is entirely up to you. I for one like having t-storm. I even put more than 1 in it.

Max all these skills:
Charged Bolt
Chain Lightning
Lightning nova
Lightning
Lightning Mastery

As far as stats go.
Strength-enough to wear gear. note some gear suggested here has str,dex,vita bonuses
Dexterity-As much as is needed for 50% block.
Vitality-All the rest of your stats will go here
Energy-none

My sorceress is currently lvl 93 and has 248 dex so it may seem like a waste but trust the build. It has worked for me since I implemented it. My other sorcs were always very fragile until I made her max block.

Inventory: Is really a matter of personal choice
I have A Torch, Anni, Gheed, mf/resists scs, MF scs, FHR scs, Life scs
I don't carry skill charms aside from torch/anni

With this build I can kill everything and rush a full hell game. The most expensive item to get was the mercs wep. Tal Rasha's set can be had for 1-2 hrs depending on the trader.
I do 23k currently and I feel that is low because I put a few points into thunderstorm and have yet to max charged bolt. I also have a build for a 55k lightning dmg sorceress. It is pretty much same skills useage here except different gear selections and costs a whole hell of alot more. But why spend more when the cheap thing will do just fine?

I hope that helps. I made a few slight revisions since I posted this a while ago. All the info should still be relevant. Goodluck.

WoW is already like that... see someone spamming gold, report in 2 clicks, you never see them again. But then more with random names will appear.. and this goes on forever.

I don't see why people panic so much about it. Blizzard can't stop it entirely, and yes it will affect the economy, its not a -good- thing but its not going to kill the game. People need to stop getting so paranoiac over these. "OMG MY EXPERIENCE WILL BE RUINED BY CHEATERS". The only reason its going to affect you is because you care too much. Stop it. Stop living in other people's world and just care about yourself and your experience.

Things happens around you in the game and you can't stop it. Its not going to be as out of control as D2, Blizzard is making sure of that, but a lot will still happen. Stop caring and live with it. Please. Because it won't ever stop.

And when part of my experience is trying to trade the stuff I found legitly for things people bought online but can't because the item I found isn't as good as the "perfect" bot farmed item, what then?

It is through bringing these things to light that we can overcome them. Prevent the cheaters and the game will work as it was intended. Let the cheaters run rampant and the legit people are always a step behind. It is common sense that they need to take this issue seriously or it will become part of every one of our gaming experiences. You included, unless you plan to never trade and play through untwinked.

I think the new version of Diablo is way sicker looking than the previous ones. I always loved the way Diablo looked but this new one is just insane. 3 heads slightly resembling the balrog from LoTR is just amazing to me. I understand why some people are upset about the new look but I am blown away by the look of that thing. It won't scare me like the first game did. I think that is due to the fact that over time I have become desensitized to such things. Though if I were 10 years old and had come across the D3 version of Diablo/Triune I think I'd shit my pants more over the new one than the old one. A hair raising experience is all I can hope for.

Try increasing the difficulty in single player.

type /playersX x meaning 1 through 8.

It simulates the amount of people in the game without actually having the people in the game. It affects drops experience gain and monster difficulty. I always play single player on /players8.

Good luck finding your SoJ.
