Post any HC games here from any version and mod status. Please make sure to always state the version and mod status of the game you are hosting. Your characters and items are considered modded if they have had any interaction with modded items or characters through trade, MP, or giveaways, even if you do not use the mod yourself.

Please note if you are hosting a RWM status game in this thread where RWM is not actually installed on the host, so people don't waste runes trying to make a ladder runeword in game.
Hey guys! I don't have any non-tournament characters that are even in NM, but I'd like to start a new character with someone.
I play RWM/RRM, the most current version (11.1b right), and I won't be twinking the character except for some gold to buy tomes. I don't mind playing with someone who twinks though.
I can play weekdays at 6 P.M. Eastern time and lots of times on the weekends. I'm available anytime today or tomorrow (not Sunday though).

I have planned to start a new character soon, most likely a druid. I'm not yet sure when to start. I've been a bit busy lately, and now the mini-MFO is running so I have spent my freetime doing that...timezones are bit of problem, I'm at GMT+2 so there is 7 hours between us? I'd rather sleep my nights :laugh: Weekends are an option of course.
I'll try to host games quite often, MFing, leveling, questing...I don't support rushes, and I prefer good teamplay.
Soon it is time to start filling this thread :grin:

i have never mp'd in hc before. it is tempting though, especially reading your post, LprMan. i would be untwinked and like to full clear.
i am a little concerned about lag though, sometimes in mp games im not even sure where i am, finding myself taking damage even when there doesnt seem to be anything near, then suddenly bouncing back into a mob.
if i see you hosting a new chr game i'd like to join you and give it a try though.
i am gmt+1. dune
I actually live in the Central time zone (GMT -6) so that's eight hours difference. (I put it in Eatern time to make it easier for most people.) I bet we could still find a time to play though. =]
I haven't MPed in HC either, dune. Sounds like you have bad latency problems - what type of internet connection are you on?
By the way guys, I'm a slow type of player. I can speed things up to medium if need be, but I don't like playing games where everyone is moving super fast.

i have a feeble dialup atm. i miss my broadband but im not sure how long i will be at this address so i will have to wait to get speedy again.

this sounds fine to me. i like to savour hc and rushing in where angels fear to tread gets you dead real fast in hc.

well, if we can get this set up i would like to make a bowazon. even if its just us 3 we should be able to make a good team. dune

I would like to start my HC career as SC isn't as much fun as it was before. Any character is good to me. It would be best for you guys to decide which char would help us most... I'm GMT +1

Just pick the one you like to play. Or maybe a MF char if you want to go that route. Almost every time, team > sum of its members.
I'm going to play with Thyiad soon (we have barbs at hell act 3). I'm not sure how far we will advance, so there is a slight chance of me hosting new chars game after that. Tomorrow I have time to host a game for sure.
I have usually twinked my chars though...I could cut down on that if it is a problem. I can also provide you guys with starter gear, I have a nice giveaway stash.
Darkoooo
08-04-2007, 16:23
So, what char do you sugest? Some kind of MF? The chars i have in SC right now are Blizz sorc, Fury/Rabies and a Meteorb. Are there any characters that can do Mephisto runs efficently(that's the best place to start right?) and are not on my list of SC chars? Maybe a Blizzorb or some other class as i got bored with sorceress:grin: . I'm available all this week as I'm on spring breaks.
edit: I guess I'm gonna build a Blizzballer sorc. I think she will do ok. And when I get some good items from Mephy then I'm going to play for fun. Thanks for advices!
If you want to start building twinking stash for future chars ---> MF char. If you just want to play through the game, well...then there is lots of options.
As for MF builds...sorcs are obviously the best, but I can imagine a zon with CS or some fast hitting guy with CB can do the job well...there is other good builds for sure.
I will host a new chars game after ~30-45 mins or so.
I'm going to twink, but less than usually if all others are untwinked.
See you soon...

Bummer my ik barb is just starting act 2 or id join you.
We stopped at Lower Kurast wp and the next game is most likely on wednesday...so try to catch us :wink3:
I would've definitely joined you but i'm still hangover from the last 3 days :shocked::grin:.
Establishing 3-4+ party to go through the whole game together is nearly impossible due to timezones, RL etc but those who can't join can catch up, that's the best way i think.
Going back to sleep now... :smiley:
I would host a game in about 30min-1h or so, if there's interest. We can either:
1. Start new chars and try to catch up with Lprman and Darkoooo
2. questing in Act 3 NM - i have a blizzsorc there atm.
I'll probably start a hunter druid. Always wanted to guardian one of those.

Hurry up and join if you don't want to miss the first quests. I decided to start a paladin after all, when he grows up he'll be a hammerdin. I'll wait about 10-15min before starting to quest.

Wow, this is the most exciting thing since HC ladder. I'll join as soon my wrist heals :smiley:

I'll host normal act 3 (Lower Kurast -->) game about an hour from now on.
My game turned into a twinked one last time :badteeth:

It was good fun 'til it lasted. Thanks for the hosting LprMan and introducing me to HC. Hope I'll learn something out of the first death. You can send the items on: 0gimli0 at gmail dot com
*walks away into the sunset*
Sent the items already :smiley:
EDIT: I really do think we should slow down the tempo a bit...when everything happens so fast, that kind of mistakes will happen, sooner or later...

It happens unfortunately, but time to make your next HC char :thumbsup:.
And stygian dolls are one of the scariest things in hc (i think i'd classify them nr. 3 after Ancients and IM), never ever get close to them, especially with a low hp caster. :wink3:
EDIT: yeah the tempo was way too fast. I usually take my time when i solo, and even if in mp we can go a bit faster we definitely went way overboard.

poo. Can anyone else host?

13-04-2007, 00:58
I suppose I could, but I'm starting to get rather hungry. Will you be around in say an hour or so?
EDIT: alright, let's say 9:30 EST, then. Will that work? I'll post when the game goes up. Btw, how far along are you? The only HC char I have is 18, so if you're close to that I'll play her, otherwise I'll start someone new.
I may be back around in about 2 hours-ish. Gonna eat in about 45 mins now.
Darkoooo
13-04-2007, 16:06
Anyone feel like doing new chars?
edit: Yeah, if we get a hoster, that'd be great
Yes, I do, but i can't play now. I would love to play some day. But that is maybe as far as a week away. It would be sooo much fun go HC MP. New chars.

It would be a good idea to make an intro thread in the SPF (http://forums.diabloii.net/forumdisplay.php?f=3). People like to know a little about the people they MP with. (There is more info about intro posts in the SPF FAQ, Tips, and Character Guides Sticky.)

Stupid internet. Oh well, if the RRM is just a taint issue don't worry about it, I havn't installed it but if I trade it will be as RWM/RRM. If its a problem with the game running then nevermind.

No it was just the issue of taint. I can host by the way. Did you set up your static ip?

I don't think that's a real ip, you should check out your external ip on http://whatismyip.com/ .
If it shows the same then it means your router is badly configured or ISP doesn't provide you with static IP (college LAN? for ex).

I tried to join and couldn't. I tell everyone who tries to host and fails to check static IP. If that's set and your ports are opened and set to the IP you set it should all work fine.
Not sure if this is your problem but here http://portforward.com/networking/winxp-tcpip.jpg - picture is pretty clear but here's the guide http://portforward.com/networking/static-xp.htm
