Lone3wolf: The more people in the party, the stronger the foes get, so yeah, it's normal for MP as well.
I still find it weird, that 8-players-mode in SP is easier for me, than 2 players in MP.

Lone3wolf: We probably are somewhat under-equipped (I know I, and my Bitch rogue are to say the least), for some fights, but the right skills-use gets us through them, mostly in one piece.... >.<
That's most likely it. My resistances during the fight against Diablo were pretty low. They are better now (maxed Lightning and Cold, Fire is pretty high, only Poison is still low), but I'm not sure, if they are good enough for Nightmare. I'm probably going to farm for better equipment first, before I switch to the next difficulty.

Starting a Nightmare run (next difficulty) will get us access to mostly better equipment, but your resistances are lowered by....20%? something like, anyway, before you even add equipment!
The trouble is finding runes and gems for the socket-able stuffs, which is where resistances and buffs come in. rings and ammies do a little, but you're gonna be really lucky to find anything worthwhile.

Might be worth going through normal acts 1-5 bosses a few times and see what drops off of them, though.

It's 40%.

I have enough gems, but not enough socketable stuff. On the plus side, I found the unique shield The Ward last night (it grants +38% to all resistances). On the downside, I would need to replace my Mummified Trophy, which grants +3 to Raise Skeleton, to use The Ward.

That's the plan.

boct1584: Characters on the Realms are stored server-side, which is one of the benefits to it.
Oooh thats useful, might rejoin you afterall when i get d2 redownloaded etc

Bloody disconnects... #:(

Oh well, enough for today. Act four is finished. None of my minions died against Diablo. Which is a nice improvement compared to the battle in Normal difficulty (all my minions did at least four times). Even more so considering that I had to fight him alone. Lone3wolf stayed in Act three.
Ladder is resetting on the 26th. (Incidentally the birthday of one of my last living relatives on my father's side.)

Anyone up for starting over with ladder characters after the reset's complete?

I wasn't able to play in the last couple weeks (RL issues), but I should be able to after the reset.
Sounds like a plan. After that Sunday when I was puking my toenails up, I went back in the following Friday,-Sunday for a few weeks, but noone was ever on. Not checked this last few weeks or so.
Hey everybody!

The D2 Ladder has reset last Tuesday, and we are starting a new MP season. I'm curious if anybody is interested in joining up.

Unless somebody has objections, I'd like to keep the current play time (9:30 pm CET, Friday to Sunday).

We'll stay at the EU servers, but are switching over to Ladder characters this time (the Ladder-only runewords are just too useful).

Game-name and password (GOGCOM, DRM-free) stay the same.

Edit: Fixed a typo.

I'd be glad to bash some skulls with you. I've already done some levelling, but nothing beyond Normal.
I can join ya, a fresh ladder reset is a good thing indeed :P

Haven't played MP in a long time, played the hell out of SP...

Just give me a quick rundown of what characters you guys are playing so i can make up my mind ;)

Hey guys!

As usual, I'm playing a summoning Necro.

I only played a little last night (reached level 8 and killed Blood Raven), because the others didn't show up (maybe they didn't get the memo?).
