This is for discussion specifically about the achievements, finds, deaths, etc of Team One.

DaveW: you can hold runes as long as you keep rare ones on your body. When/if you die, looters get access to your local inventory, right? So that way if you find a Zod for example, then die, it's not lost. At the start, 'rare' includes things like Sol, Amn and Shael. Alternatively, you could save, exit, and mule these to ATMA then rejoin. First Sol rune goes to Thyiad for an insight polearm, as singer is mana hungry.

Also, when cubing, ensure you don't cube a rune until you have 4 of it - in this way we'll always have 1 of every rune.

I can collect gems if people want.

The host (Thyiad) decides who gets each unique and set item.

For an idea of general thoughts on Hardcore mode and teamplay, please read Greebo's write-up of Team 2's first game: http://forums.diii.net/showpost.php?p=6616764&postcount=29

*Nudge* I'm not sure exactly what's going on, so. Fairly quiet right now, so I'll check the forums in a short while and see if anyone's around.

Me too ... plus Im reinstalling Diablo atm. My lappy had a HD failure I think. YIKES.

Drystan
18-07-2008, 14:22
Ouch - sorry to hear that, Dave. The HD is replaced, or just reformating? Either way, :(.
I guess it'll be best to see if somethings happening in 10 minutes or something.

Well Im down with that if she is. I mean I have stayed up (and sober) so I can play. lol

Cwicseolfor
18-07-2008, 14:44
Well, um, while we're waiting, are you guys going to be right to play tomorrow, same time? That doesn't give Thyiad time to catch up, though. Hm.

DaveW
18-07-2008, 14:45
I guess so, depending on how well we go tonite.

Drystan
18-07-2008, 14:54
It should be ok, maybe tonight should just be get started, get a few levels, etc. Nothing major, so that Thy doesn't have to catch up too much.

Cwicseolfor
18-07-2008, 14:59
Agreed, Drystan. Game up. Will PM the IP.

18-07-2008, 18:15
Well, that was pretty fun. :yes:

I felt it was a good pace, if a little fast. I know I'll personally slow down for the Catacombs tomorrow, though; I tend to rush when I'm tired.

I suggest people get about 50% MF in act 2. You get 20% MF on gloves and boots easily enough, so just gamble those. You can also get 10% on rings/amulets easily by cubing them.

Thanks for playing guys, and thanks for hosting, Thyiad!

I'm around and approaching tea #2. Poke me when everyone's on. I'm trying to bail from what I'm supposed to be doing today. Worst case scenario, I'll be sat in town as host.

19-07-2008, 12:03
Hey Thy looking forward to it. BTW did u see my IFT thread re: Cham rune? I'm gonna give it away. Any ideas on how to go about it?

Thyiad
19-07-2008, 12:05
Zomg! I hadn't seen that, Dave! Congratulations :congrats: *runs to ITF*

Drystan

I'm around at the moment. I may have to disappear at one point, but hopefully that won't be the case. Congrats on the rune, Dave!

Cheers guys!

Next game is 10pm Australian time, Friday (1pm London, midnight NZ).

As always, I'm looking forward to act 3. I would probably go mad if I lived in the Middle East. All that desert.

It's OK Dave. I don't think Thy and I will continue tonight. I think Thy isn't around either, but it feels like we should try to continue as a team as much as possible seeing as there's only a few of us. (Maybe that's just me seeing as I have very little offensive power ;))

Damn, sorry guys. RL called.

I'm not going to be around much today. This is probably a brief flyby and be back tomorrow.

Hey guys, I'm gonna have to withdraw. Sorry but the times just aren't the best. Midnight and my eyes get heavy. Too bad. Sorry to leave you 2 in the lurch.
