I think it might be a good idea to post your current status so everyone has a good idea of where everyone is:

lvl 20 Werebear druid
all waypoints through act 2
All that's left is to beat Duriel

Lvl 18 Bowazon (fire elemental)
Have the Cube, but nothing past that in Act 2.

Okay, so apparently there are a lot of server crashes going on.

It seems the cause is players intentionally crashing servers to cause a 'rollback'. This means that the last bit of time is wiped and basically didn't happen.

Why? Because some people are trying to create/identify items with perfect stats. Ex: A runeword that can give a range of stats. If the stats aren't to the persons liking, they can crash the server and other games to be interrupted and lost.

The problem is epidemic now because someone publicly leaked the method to do this and it is causing many people problems.

Hopefully Blizzard will find a way to fix this, but for now, we just have to deal.

>_< DAMN IT

*Is sad*

My internet had crapped out since early afternoon.

In addition, I was so happy when I found two set items before the internet cheated me. Now I only got the Isenheart's helm, when I also found a shield item and picked it up the second before I got disconnected. Didn't even get to identify it (was a kite shield I think)

Also, level 21. Managed to reach Arcane Sanctuary where I found the shield and got DCed, and thus lost it. T.T

EDIT: Opening a game. Hang out with me if you want.

EDIT: Finished playing for tonight... mainly because Duriel is the biggest sack of crap that I have the experience to try to fight. Such a jerk and I never feel confident fighting him, ever.

I'm Level 19 now, I think. Probably.
All that's left in Act 2 is Duriel.

I'd try and fight him alone, which would probably work but require a hit and run tactic and plenty of sacrificed Mercenaries a shitload of potions and town portals.
The only hard boss in the entire game. And he's only hard on Normal.

Did we want to see if we could coordinate a time for Duriel Smashing? Admittedly my playtime is very sporadic (I was going to say during the week; but I realized I have my bowling league saturday night; and a fantasy baseball draft on sunday...)

Things for me should clear up shortly; in the meantime I guess the worst case scenario for me is I just try and keep up with the rest of you until my schedules do correllate.

I've been staying up til about 1am or so just to get some playing in; hopefully once things settle down I'll be getting on and off earlier.

Oh ya; i'm up to lvl 19.

I just did one quick run to kill Andariel and got a nicely colored drop. There was gold, green and yellow. (Also Level 20)

Except some unique gloves Nothing worth keeping, unless you want Isenharts Helm...
Oh...


The unique gloves (Bloodfist, or something along those lines)have a nice +40 HP

other noteworthy features are 10% faster attack speed and 30 % faster hit recovery, so they're good for your average Melee build
I'd like to keep em for now but if anyone playing a Melee character wants them they can have them of course.

Then I have a druid helm with +1 to bein' a bear and +1 to spirit wolf.


TWG is bein' a bear. So if you want that just drop me a line.

Please forgive me if my translations aren't spot on, I have to use a German version (english language pack doesn't work for some reason)

EDIT:
So, what do we have now?
1: Menarker: Stormbringer Druid, Level 21
2: InsaneGenius: Bone Necromancer, Level 20
3: Vauron: Lightning Sorceress, Level ?
4:
5: The Wandering God: Werebear Druid, Level 20
6:
7: waddle2120: Bowazon, Level 19
8: 01d55: ???, Level ? ??????

Good news; if it was a kite shield; its for a set that's not really that great... (Paladin maybe would use it; but we don't have any of those)

I'm having a slightly bad connection right now, but you can find me in NPF//Stabbity
I'm probably doing some random stuff.
Come if you wanna kill Duriel or need help with something or just for the hell of it.

EDIT: Game crashed

I visited some the other day and I can't guarantee that I have the time to keep pace but I could totally lend a hand as a Zealadin. It was my most successful build way back when D2 LOD was normal and the only thing that ever really stopped him was that damn Iron Maiden curse and Physically Immune monsters. Iron Maiden is gone and Physically Immune means squat in a group so he should be a decent addition.

Zeal + Fanaticism + HP/Mana leach + Stupidly fast attack speed weapon = awesome. It kinda sucked that I messed up and ended up with just a shade over 1k HP on that one though. As soon as I stopped hitting things in hell difficulty I died. A mistake I plan to fix.
