When you see me on, lets play together on MP1

FrozenMounds my newly created EU HC Wizz died today level 12 in the Caverns due to a PC lockup. Third time this has happened while playing Diablo since getting my new PC 2 months ago. I was in a pub game with players nearby but they'd just activated a boss fight and were probably not paying attention to me at that point while waiting for people to click 'accept'.

Time to upgrade my video card drivers!

Whenever you are on EU HC again the few of us here will get you going.
Lost my DH on Saturday to an elite writhing deceiver pack at 56 and also a very good xbow lend by @Bort
But on the other side there are 3 chars waiting on lvl 51/52 to hit 60 and a fresh made DH at 20 atm :)

Thanks guys!

I won't be around much this week (crazy social/work schedule!) but will be picking up again with a new Wizz from next week. Hope to catch some of you around :)

Damn game killed my monk again in the same way as last time.....lagged and wiuldnt catchup until I was dead. Rip powerburnp 19

@zerokewl

Sorry to hear about that. My advice would be to stay co-op.

If I can't find friends to play with, I just join A1 MP1 and play in a very relax way.

Yes I need to fill my friends list with like minded pkayers.

I actualy (for the first time since release basically) deliberately started opening my game to public over the weekend.

It helps to have someone else in game just to make sure you don't die from DC... but it changes the way you play. You have to be satisfied with random people that keeps popping in and out of the game.

I played some act 1, mp0 and mp1. But what bugged me is that people would do only very select areas. I'm so used to being able to choose where I want to go. Or at least suggest different area's. So public games is still a very big mindset change for me.

@zerokewl

Damn Zero, RIP. I saw you on this morning and was tempted to see if you wanted to join but I was watching my son and nephews. Thus I needed the pause factor with all the interruptions.

My friend list has grown bigger. Apart from RMT members, they are either added to friend list due to trade, or from my random pub game.

I have made some good farming buddies via trade. It started with a trade initiated at the trading forums, and they remain on friend list even after trade. Then sometimes we whisper each other on loots which we found and do price check with each other. Naturally we invited each other for runs.

I also added quite some friends from random pub game. It is when you like each other's playstyle in a group, you started to whisper and add each other. Sometimes it is not all about DPS level, but the ability to play well in a group e.g. move together, using "group skills" at the right time, and more importantly being respectful and courteous to each other.

Well... another one bites the dust.

Barb MP0, paragon 9. Act 4, silver spire. Dammit I hate that place.

I don't even know what happened. It just came out of nowhere.

Guess I should know that when it feels iffy, don't push your luck.


*Note to self. Unequip your follower before playing co-op. (Lost a couple millions worth of MF gear on my follower)

Condolence goes to both of you @zerokewl and @Bort

Would like to have better news but 2nd DH RIP at lvl 55 by waller/arcane/...
So for the future leave and restart the game if I encounter that combo

Sorry about your losses... I know I am a glutton for punishment, but I just made it to 60 with another DH... I am hoping to run that character in group only and solo with my WD.

@h311o, restarts are a must on certain combos, even after getting to 60. I run away fast/skip/restart when I encounter Hulking phasebeasts with waller and any other bad combos, as well as, fast demonic tremors with any combo. Those hit too hard and quick. They should scare all DHs... :)

I am looking to expand my friend list for HC (stopped playing SC). Please feel free to send me a request! (LordSpeyburn#1508)

Sorry for now but @Bort @Raulz0r @ninjax and me are HC EU servers because of the high ping to your side of the ocean.
And good luck to all your HC toons.

I've had 2 further PC lock ups since my recent HC death so I'm giving HC a rest until I can resolve it. Sorry guys but I hate losing a toon without it being my own doing!

We'll be waiting for you to solve those problems. Would like to give you a tip but hardware isn't really my thing :(

My time came yesteday, where my lvl 30 paragon barb died to the doom of blizz lag:/ Was in act 3, and suddenly i ran around, but no numbers showed up, after a few sec i realied that i was getting a rubberbanding:/ 5 sec later i was teleportet back to and old location and my barb was Death:s

Guess barb ww build isnt the build i should go with, i got those rubberbanding quite alot while player, but never that bad it got me killed. Guess it had to happen someday..

Will probelly playing on my monk from now on:)

sorry for your loss. I lost 2 TR monks the same way...hurts badly!

Sorry too @Memp
But here on EU it's enough to use SRLTW without WW and get that bad rubberbanding like you describe. Had this barely happen before the last patch and now that I can get back into the game (those log on issues) I'm only doing SC till Blizzard can minimize rubberbanding and lag spikes.
Lost some HC chars and don't want to lose one by something I can avoid.

good thing I don't use a WW/RLTW based build on my barb

Reoccurring theme here. Just lost my lvl 57 (yes another one) Barb to rubber banding. After losing my 3rd barb I have finally conceded that WW is not for me. Oh well, time to reroll haha.

I have never been a fan of the WW build for HC. Because I like to engage as few enemies at once as possible.
Draw them in one by one if I can. So I run a frenzy build. Obviously less effective than WW, but safer.

But then again... my lvl 60 frenzy barb is somewhere in this thread as well.

I'm with you on WW/TR toons. The game just can't handle the speed my current monk will never run TR.

What? @yoyo? I left you in good health at level 56... Sorry, that I couldn't get you further, but I found myself drifting off a couple of times. Really sorry about the death.

@zerokewl While your monk is not as much fun for you, I like her just fine - not so hard to keep up with! :)

@jjk59

yeah almost got myself to 58 Whirling away and having no issues. Then snap, dead. It's ok though. I needed that to get the WW thing out of my thick head. lol

Despite what Blue said. Despite what Blue officially said again in their patch notes for 1.08a.

As a semi perma TR monk, rubber banding still occurs frequently. TR is supposed to be my escape button from dangers, but often I found that I was rubber banded into the spots where fallen elites were exploding. What I can say? It is a free test of how many molten explosions I can stand at different MP levels. I got so used to it that I no longer fear these, anymore!

Trees at the Field remain my top feared enimies. Save a tree a day? It will still chase you throughout the map and catch you while you are AFK.

@yoyo

Sorry to hear about your third barb. If I could transfer toon I would transfer my P0 60 barb to you. Currently he is only sitting there collecting dust, despite all the crazy ideas I have for him including MF leech build, support build, life regen build, Scaefer's Hammer build with 50% procc....
