I play Counter Strike and Half-Life mods.

Coolest Half-Life mod ever was Wasteland Half-Life!

I was really into CS:S for a while, when I had a really fun server to play on. It has since turned retarded and I no longer play.

 

[no country for old wainds]

CS:S is the most addictive FPS i've ever played, i love it

The cow level? I think it stops giving good EXP at level 25 or something. It doesn't give "improved loot" but there's a ton of cows, so lots of drops.

Yeah. I'm gonna use the set players cheat, which makes the game spawn monsters set for multiplayer, meaning they have improved health and drop more and give more experience. That may help.

I've never really understood the role of set items(those green ones) in Diablo 2. I think I only managed to get one or two items from a certain set per game, but I could never find the rest. Do they give you special bonuses once you've found the entire set?

Set items are great. If you use even 2 at a time, they give you a bonus, plus they're usually great items in their own right.

Check which runes you're trying to upgrade. I think the highest level rune is 29 or 31.

I was trying to upgrade el and eld (level 1 and 2) runes...I'm in version 1.07, I realized, I'm patching to 1.12, this should fix that.

Have you guys seen the gameplay demos of diablo III? looks awesome.

It looks good, but I'm concerned about the aesthetic. I've seen before/after screenshots implying that there'll be post-processing and effects added later that'll make it look like Diablo and not Titan Quest, though.

1.07? That's ancient, I don't even think the skills synergise there? Might be comical to play sometime...

Never heard of it. I'll check it out.

I found a "beta 2.0" on filefront, is there only a beta or is there a full version somewhere, do you have a link?

The "3 day trial" on the installer has expired, help.

That's the only thing I'm worried about. I sure hope they don't do to Diablo what they did to Warcraft after Warcraft 2.

Well, again, there were shots with post-processing and it looked like it should, so I'm pretty hopeful. Besides, if it sucks Diablo 2 still fucking rules anyways.

 

[DarkBliss]

From all I've seen so far, Diablo 3 is going to be utter ruledom.
The worst thing they could've done is make it an MMO.

 

[Vimana]

The witch doctor class looks awesome.

I haven't seen anything like that. Can you post some pics?

Even if it sucks I'll force my self to complete D3 with each character and fuck around online. I 'wasted' the best part of 3 years playing D2 online. Haven't really played any games in over 6 months but I got hold of Anno 1701 the other day and it's pretty cool.

 

[Vimana]

When will it be released?

 

[Black Friday]

When will it be released?

Same release date as every single other Blizzard game, when it's done.
BTW, if Blizz really adds those effects it will be awesome.

The Necromancer has been dropped as a character class, but may appear in future expansions.

I'm guessing that classes will be Paladin, Sorcerer, Druid, Barbarian, and Witchdoctor, but they might surprise us with a whole other class.

It looks like the game will probably be released next year.

As of August 7, 2008, most of Act I is complete in terms of art and design, and Act II is underway. Four of the five classes are operational and at various levels of playability.

Those pictures with the processing to make it look darker and more grim are all fan done. They are his opinion of what the game should look like, not what Blizzard says it will look like when it is done. The game is going to look like all the "before" pictures.
