After exam week, which is next week, I am looking to do a playthrough of D1. Nothing serious, just for fun! I play on USEast, and could be on pretty much whenever because I'll be on winter break. Just send me a message or post here if you are interested.

I'd like to follow it up with a D2 playthrough too, so if you're in for both that's even better!

I would like to find someone who wants to play through IP, not battle.net. You gotta to have plugy that supports 1.13 version too. I use it due to stash size and transfer to another character. Also for Diablo Clone and Ubers on SP.

Start at level 1 hardcore. If anyone up for it..

I might be interested in doing this.

Do you have certain times you want to play at?
What time zone are you in?

My only question for everyone here is, how do you know you are right? Show me absolute proof that there is, or isn't a god.

Bright Eyes, Modest Mouse, Daft Punk, Charles vbv...I don't really need much else

Nothing can be worse than Dragonball: Evolution..I mean....... :wallbash:


As for all the hate on blair witch project, I thought it was awesome.

Any brave souls out there willing to try some vegan recipes?

I believe it has been stated that if your computer can play starcraft II it will most likely be able to play Diablo III. So, I would check SC2 system requirments and make sure your laptop is able to run it.

I'll just wait until the full game is out, no beta for me.

But if you do the math, one of those items will be better than the other for a specific purpose, such as damage or resistance. Rares might vary more, but there will still be an ultimate combination of modifiers + item type for your desired build.

There will for example be a body armor type that has gives most defense, let's say that it is the best tank armor. Every tank is going to want this armor, and even if they have completely different modifiers on their Rare armors, they will all look the same because the item type is the same.

Yeah, exactly, and rares will be able to mold into the ultimate items for all builds while uniques lack that quality (because of the limited selection).

As for everyone looking the same, in classic d2 it is hard to find any two characters that look exactly the same. Not to mention, even if you looked the same you're still wearing diffrent one-of-a-kind items.

Also, I second what Don said. He basically said what I was trying to say, but much better, haha!

Quote from Ophion

If Rares are going to be the best, then things that used to be Unique (or set) specific must be turned into random modifiers for Rares, otherwise they won't always be better.

Yeah, I guess that could be a problem...

I guess it just depends on what type of stats are specific to uniques and sets. Until we know this there isn't much that could be said. I am with you though that I would like to see unique items have stats that rares can't have but not if they are important enough to make me HAVE to wear it. Perhaps crafted items could roll these unique stats while rares can not?

Quote from Ophion

Also, how does it change the fact that there will always be a best item for your specific build? Everyone will still be using the same armor and weapon because that specific item gives the best bonuses. It doesn't matter if that item is randomized or has fixed modifiers, one item type will always be the best.

Not necessarily, classic is a good example of this. Everyone will be looking for similar items, yes, but ultimately they will be diffrent. My axe has 185% ed but yours has 190% ed, mine has 20 str yours has 17, mine has 5%LL yours has cold dmg, mine is named Blood Drinker yours is named Demon Blade, ect... All these variables make rares much more "unique" than uniques.

I can only speak for myself but in D2 when I find an awesome rare I feel pround, like this item is mine and no one else has it(even if they have an item with the same stats). When I find a unique yeah it is exciting, but everyone else has this exact item so its not so special.

Thanks for all of the help so far guys. Right now, I'm leaning towards Mage, Druid , or warlock.
The warrior is out cause I just don't have the tome to get the gear. Rogue just seems boring. Pet classes are usually my favorite but the hunter always became boring with the pet just doing too much.

Mage - never really liked casters but is oddly tempting me. Don't know anything about any of their specs.
Druid - love versatility. How easily can you switch roles despite spec? Healing dps tank
Lock - possibly demonology as a pet class. How well do they fillthat role?

Mage: Basically what FingolfinGR said. Fire is awesome!

Druid: You will need a diffrent set of gear for each spec, with cata coming out though, collecting gear through dungeons wont be too difficult. I am a dps caster/healer(dual spec) on my druid at the moment, a few months ago I was a tank/healer, and few months before that I was a melee dps/healer(I dont even like healing :wallbash: )

Warlock: Warlocks do decent dps in all specs. Demonology is my personal favorite and leveling is a breeze.

It would be kind of pointless for Blizzard to make a ton of Uniques, all with unique art (probably models too), when they will never actually be used on finished characters. It is like a complete waste of time for something that will only be used for a few days and then thrown away for a generic randomized rare.

That's a good argument, but they would still be endgame viable(the uniques). I guess I just see rares benefitting everyone much better.

1. Rares give random stats, providing gear for unlimited builds. Uniques on the other hand can only provide for a limited number. (ultimately shrinking those 98 billion builds into far less)

2. Finding that one unique that is the best will end your search to replace that item, which makes the game dull(for me). With a rare, there is always the chance that a better one might drop, unless you somehow managed to find a prefectly rolled item with all the stats you want.

3. Rares add diversity to the game. Your hero starts to look less and less badass when everyone is using the same armor and weapon.


For me, rares add excitment, diversity and longevity to the game. Uniques are cool, but they aren't that cool when everyone has them.

Quote from Magistrate

I don't see why uniques should be inferior equipment and the hardest things to find in the game. There would then be no point to looking for them.

The thing here is that rares arent always better, they just have potential to be better. Finding a rare that is better than a unique would be more uncommon than finding a unique. I think if rares had a lower drop than uniques not only would they be uncommon but a rare with good stats would be almost non-existant.

Since you're alliance ( :sick: )...I refuse to help!




Only kidding! I play the druid as my main character but the hunter has been growing on me. I also have a lvl 80 shaman and lvl 80 DK. (I have been playing since vanilla)

Ask me some questions and I will do my best to answer them.

I don't know why I am posting my pictures, but never-the-less...

I found this rare pelt off of Hell Diablo...
