Share the great moments and toils of your characters here!

I'm interested in how everyone approaches this game, and how you fare.
Which class did you choose and why? Did you have a plan, and how did it work out?

[Please be careful about spoilers, though.]

[Chronikuz]

Hello Vio.

Yesterday I Beginnig to play at the night. I made a Necromancer, my plan is doing it based in bone skills... a bone machinegun, should I can do it?... only te time revealed this posibility.

[Biblyos]

Hi Violos,

I'm playing with a Sorceress (cold tree), a female Barbarian, a melee male Necro and a Amazon. Brings back a lot of memories of the time I played D2LOD.

I've even tried to "merge" your mod with Lilith, well..... Didn't work.... Did that because I personnaly prefer Lilith map to TQIT one. Been playing to long, been there to often...

But thank you for refreshing the old Diablo trip....

Damne ... this were so great ... :(

Please Violos: check this! :pray: ;)

BTW, I've start a Amazon ... Bow or Spear ... I didn't now it ATM.

[Violos]

Hi everyone!

Melee Necro... that's an interesting one. But certainly possible, since the only thing he really needs is energy for his summons and Bone Armor.
Of course you forfeit one pet item by not holding a staff, and have no melee skills except for the sleepy Dagger. But maxing that in combination with Amplify / Lower Resist and of course Life Tap (since you're a true Necro) could make a cool unique build.

Bonespear also sounds good. As an experiment, I allowed that to carry weapon effects in a last-minute change. So you can leech/slow/stun away with it!


I also started an all-new char to play properly through the game.

http://www.abload.de/img/dariusw6o7r.jpg

Meet Darius, the male Amazon. He was first going to become a "Voice Of Doom" (Necro+Barb staff fighting summoner) but then reports of "slow" early Amazons made me want to try that myself.
And yes, the starting phase sure was a bit slow... getting skillful with those throwing spears takes a while, and sticking to the bow with its magic Railgun arrows was tempting. But in the end the tedious saving of points has paid off, because two levels ago he got his Plague Javelin, which drops all living things by the dozen!

To make up for using such "cowardly" methods in front of the ladies, he decided that he will become a strong guy and fight the undead man to remains-of-man with his spear, pierce resistance be damned.
When someone asked him what he would do about ghosts his only comment was that he was not afraid of them. Not sure if that will be enough, but he will probably come up with something.




P.S.
As for Lilith --> Different thread. I'll look into it at some point.
But don't do that right away. I know the landscape is the same, but the spawns are not! Especially if you know it well, you will notice a number of differences.

[ASYLUM101]

So, my bone-mancer was strolling down the street, leaving Helos on his way to Sparta when he found a camp of Satyrs on a mountain. After killing nearly all of them with 2 teeth barrages, one of the Satyrs turns stone form.

o.O

[Violos]

Something tells me that he had a friendly mage nearby
who was like "No you don't!". :D

[Biblyos]

@Violos

Your right about the spawns, so even if it's the same map the game is different.

As for the melee Necro it's still to early to see what will happen, but I intended to pump STR to use blunt weapons and INT for the Teeth tree and skeletons summons. Armor wise I'll see...

[Violos]

Sounds good. There are no specific Necro wands/clubs yet, but they are next on the list.

Be aware, though, that although intelligence is beneficial, the bone spells do not depend that much on it - probably not enough to warrant spending points just for that.

Their physical component, Impact Damage, scales only with skill- and difficulty level. Magical Rupture (% life reduction) scales with nothing except enemy health. And the Spirits mainly cause Magical DOT, which also works like Impact.

[Biblyos]

Thank you for that information.

I'll try to go 2:1 for STR/INT for a few levels and see the results.
Putting points in Havoc scale is beneficial for all stats, and I'm pumping Teeth for long range instead of using a bow.

That skill is now at level 6 on 20, playing it like Ice Shard meaning using it as a room cleaner... It does wonder on skeleton archers and mage, for the ones still standing after that... A good whomp on the head with a club makes my Necro feel good...

My Necro, Drakon, is now level 10 and no death. Did the poison water quest in Tegea and going happily, for a Necro, on his way...

[Jonney]

I arrived in Egyptt with my Sorceress and when i did the Quest "Legendary Beast" i was really surprised *delted , cuz of spoiler*. Nice Change, now i has to kill a real legendary beast#. Thanks for that^^. I hope there are more of this surprises ^^

[Biblyos]

I've start a pure Sorceress, lucky me when I killed the Shaman near Helos I found the "Barbarian Look" :lol:

The basic idea for that toon is to go as far as possible with no weapon at all, only a shield for pierce resist, and to scale up the ice and fire casting tree. So far I'm a little after Tegea and no death with a few close call. Your little demons who are vanishing an reapearring while sucking your mana are hard on her...

Looking forward to many more suprises like this...

[Jonney]

When i arrived at the Sandswept Cave (east of fayum oasis) i found interesting things.





The rest is deleted, cuz of letting u self explore and not spoiler to much

[Violos]

Please remember not to spoiler too many details.

I'm glad you enjoy finding those things, that was the intention. And there are more. However, think of others who have'nt seen them yet - they like surprises too.


As for the eyes, that's another "small bug" you found (pun, ho ho).
I changed that to "one per player" when I discovered the option, but forgot to remove the original drop.



The basic idea for that [Sorceress] is to go as far as possible with no weapon at all, only a shield for pierce resist
How about a staff? Those also give resists to their respective element, and mana regeneration.

[Jonney]

Please remember not to spoiler too many details.

Ok, i am sorry about that i might spoiler a bit to much, but ur way to break out of the normal TQIT gameplay are just so great and that u can surprise some1 who played the maps so often and know nearly every cm² or rather what will happen, when i am at a place.



I'm glad you enjoy finding those things, that was the intention.

i am happy aswell^^


And there are more.

YEAH! thats sounds very very good and i hoped it ^^


However, think of others who have'nt seen them yet - they like surprises too.

Ok, should i delete my post? and i ask all such questions per pm?


As for the eyes, that's another "small bug" you found (pun, ho ho).

I am good, right? ^^:lol:

[Carrotten]

First of all, what a great Mod!:clap:
Found out about it, a couple of days ago at the german TQ forum, and as soon as you released the beta I started playing.


http://www8.pic-upload.de/06.11.11/o3mc85gdieit.png (http://www.pic-upload.de/view-11909504/D2Inecro.png.html)
So this is my little Necromancer, who seems to lack the ability to put on matching clothes, standing in Epic Helos.
She's level 36 and a more or less pure Bonecaster.
Still trying to figure out what to use for a weapon, at the moment its an blue sword that gives some defense.

I love what you done to the original TQ with all these monsters you changed and added, and the balancing (at least on normal) seems really good. Not too hard, but still challanging without being annoying.

But I have to curse you for what you done to the end of Immortal Throne....
Now I want to play as fast as possible through Epic, just to see if it is different again... :lol:


Btw: Is there a hairstyle for each class, or just for Amazon and Barbarian? Using the Amazon at the moment because of the +1 to Master of Cunning.^^

[Violos]

You are right - she does look like some evil clown! :lol:

Glad you enjoy it. And grats on reaching Epic already... this is where the fun begins. And you're the first person I know of who got there "on foot".

A Boner has the unique ability to deal physical and magical damage at the same time, which are opposites, so resistance will be less of an issue. Still, things get harder now.
I won't say anything about the end, but in any case you are in for my faourite boss fight on your way there.

As for finding the mod, yeah, spread the word... apparently it is easy to miss for people not looking at the modder forums, even though it's been around for a year.



P.S.
And yes, of course there is hair for all classes. Bishibosh in normal drops the basic versions very generously.

[b33rman]

i guess i'll upload a few screenshots or videos the next weeks. especially to make public this awesome mod :)

[Jonney]

Today in the Tower of Jugde (Turm des Gerichts) 2 Black Legion Master Archer and 1 Grandmaster Acher at 1 spawn. My poor sorceres died two time on they, cuz of there high damage about 300-500 dmg and my sorceres only has 1900 hp XD.

Edit1: Only one passage later there were an another evil spawn: 1 Black Legion Hero Archer, with heavy poisen damage and 1 or 2 Master Archer.XD
If its keep going so , i will die so often in this damn tower, XD

Edit2: YEAH it keeps going on, nearly only Archer or Range Fighter spawns, or such nice close-combat champs with Onslaught, nearly 200% attackspeed and/or Dual-wield.
Oh Yeah Hell really deserves its name^^. Remember i play on normal XD.

[Violos]

Ice Blast them?
I heard the cold tree has some nice defensive Spells, hahaha. :p


But don't worry - Act 4 normal is always hard, that didn't change.
(It just won't get that much easier after.)

[Jonney]

Ice Blast them?
I heard the cold tree has some nice defensive Spells, hahaha. :p

where should the skill points come from for those spells? and which do you mean? The Frost Nova doesnt helps on Archer, who kill you with 2-3 Shots, with there not bad damage and there damn poisened Arrows and the Close-combat champs/heros has something like a charge-spell and do great dmg aswell. Anyways The problem is not my defense, that is of course low, than she is a mage and i play her on glasscannon- and not on tank-build. The Problem was the Tower of Judge, cuz to many strong mobs on a to small place an nearly no chance to escape^^, before the Tower i havent any big problems^^



But don't worry - Act 4 normal is always hard, that didn't change.
(It just won't get that much easier after.)
I will see^^.

PS: maybe its my own fault, cuz this mod needed a bit more tactical play than other mods or TQIT itself^^. So don't worry if i seemed a bit angry =D. Just look if it should be so or if its a bug^^

Edit1:
Here is my Char. She is lvl 37 and staying at normal Elysion City.

[Violos]

I meant the "Ice Blast" spell itself. It freezes most enemies, so it is useful to keep single ones or small groups away.

I like how you used the mastery to improve the basic Fire Bolt instead of switching to fancier stuff. Most people would not do that - though it is supposed to be viable by design.

Though you may want to divert a few points into Teleport, Manashield, Frozen Armor and maybe Warmth. Those are staple skills for every Diablo Sorc, and effective even at low levels.

The only thing I don't see is the reason for the Heracles relic on those Bandari armbands. Strength and on-hit weapon effects do nothing for your spells, or Staff Attack... nor does the attack speed on the item itself.

[Jonney]

could be a good way, but than i had to take away points form my dmg spells.


I like how you used the mastery to improve the basic Fire Bolt instead of switching to fancier stuff. Most people would not do that - though it is supposed to be viable by design.

I never played Diablo 2 ,so there is no favorite skill and i though why 2-3 spells with average to low dmg if i can have 1 spell with devastating dmg ^^


Though you may want to divert a few points into Teleport, Manashield, Frozen Armor and maybe Warmth. Those are staple skills for every Diablo Sorc, and effective even at low levels.

Teleport seems a bit buggy, even in 1.12, cuz sometime it don't teleport me to the place i clicked.
Manashield seems to be buggy aswell (havent tested it in the newest version), cuz it is a perm buff which is activated for each hit and cost mana for each hit and not every sec. as it said it the description.
An example for better understanding what i wrote. Shield costs = 40mp than i paid 40 mp for every hit of an enemy, so when i get 10 hits i loose 10 x 40mp and the hpreg increase are only while i get hit.
Forzen Armor with his mods look nice, esspecially the dmg reflection^^ I focused on dmg. That means dmg has the highest priority, which is normal for an glasscannon-build, and than come the defence and everything else^^


The only thing I don't see is the reason for the Heracles relic on those Bandari armbands
I don't know it aswell. I think i was just to lazy to remove it, cuz i needed it in the past for some other reasons.
But now i have a complete different equipment, cuz i reskilled and put all points from fire to lightning tree and skilled there the lightning mastery and the chain lightning, which is a bit buggy, like i wrote in the release thread.

[Violos]

The teleport needs line of sight, so it may not work if there is something in the way - even if that is some kind of bump, like when you aim it down a stair you're not standing on. Also, if you shift-click it outside of its natural range you are gambling a chance of failure for better results. Like it says - lightning spells are like that. ;)

If you do it correctly on even ground, though, it does work 99% of the time. You'll get a feeling for it after using it for a while.


The Manashield works fine. Basically, it lets you lose mana instead of health.
The best way of doing this in TQ (and believe me, I tried many) was to make it a really fast auto-heal, as described in the fluff text.
The 1 manacost per second only applies in the split second when it's activated, so you won't notice it. Its purpose is to turn the skill off when you are out of mana.

[Jonney]

The Legendary Beast- Quest on Epic is really nice, cuz i really had to use a tactic for killing it, cuz it hits me very hard with his attacks (nearly instant kill) and not just go there and nuke it down. Nice increase of difficulty. And the new Hero spawn rate is nice aswell. Nearly in every spawn a hero mob^^.
Here is my new char. She is a icesorc now, cuz firebolt wasn't that great in the end of Chapter IV (at Tower of Judge till end) and chainlightning got a bug in version 1.12 ( i was at Megara with my Lightning Sorc). So i had to reskill her again. Now as said above she is an icesorc and the frozen bodies of enemies pave her way straight to hell.
She stays in epic Sais atm. (second town in egypt)

[nebunelux]

Anyone plays an amazon, care to share their experience?
I am having a tough time with mine which barely made it to Act III Normal. (Died a lot to Act2 last boss, really bad-ass).

[Violos]

What kind of Amazon do you play?

Generally she is more of a late bloomer with all those synergizing skills and passives. I also boosted her melee dodging for the next version. But some abilities (like Exploding Arrows) are quite effective early if you pump some points into them instead of the thermometer.

I'm still playing the physical/poison Spearazon from page 1. Specializing in Plague Javelin (<10 points) went quite well so far, all living things drop like fies. Undead are rough, of course, and so was Andariel. But manageable with Jab and kiting. Now heading towards Rhakotis... might have to get some elemental damage for the ghosts there.

[nebunelux]

I am playing the Lightning Javazon with maxed Lightning Fury (which is a monster btw).
But I am having huge problems with bosses. Duriel was almost impossible to kill in normal with a lvl 30 Javazon with twinked gear. Revenant, SBC +6 all skills total, lightning spear + lightning relic. Duriel would kill me in 3 shots.
When I tried to use the -resist from Plague Javelin, and then Charged Strike, I died.

Finally I killed him with A LOT of patience meaning charged strike, potion, running around till potion CD ended, and repeat.

Am I doing something wrong?

Regarding the bow Amazon:
I noticed that all late skills add 0.5 CD to skills, that means you can't use the way we used Marksmanship in Vanilla IT.

The Fire arrow explosion needs some time for it to explode and by then probably all the monsters in the target area would have moved away. I can't really figure out who to make a bowazon efficient.

The freeze arrow not really useful for mass killing(not enough radius), maybe it's good for special situations because it has 100% freeze.

So probably the LMB skill would be multistrike or strafe.

[Violos]

Yeah, Duriel is a pain to ranged chars. Always was.

Check the bosses thread for info on how to beat him - Slow Missiles might come in handy. Also, you may want to bring a scroll. Use all possibilities.

As for LF, that is of course not as effective on single targets. Kiting with posion should work, though.

The standard Bowazon uses Multishot or Strafe as main attack, Valk/Decoy as bait and Freezing or Exploding Arrows as an addition.
They are not spammable when upgraded, yes. But in turn they have powerful effects, and can trigger multiple times with the piercing from their respective base skills.

A "Casterzon" (that means int-focussed in TQ) could still use them as main attacks with some -recharge, and even have added int-based effects on arrows boosted by Multishot, since it raises total damage.

As for the Immolation Arrow, that is most effective when monsters run through the burning patch. It is no simple explosion/wave, but really a fire on the ground.

[Violos]

OK, for a change I also have a story or two from actually playing the game.

First, after buffing the Army Necro last patch (and just polishing the mage attacks) I wanted to test him a bit more, feeling that he should now be rather strong in the hands of someone who knows the quirks of that class.

So I skilled skeletons/support only -no golem- and took him from Chang'an to normal Typhon, who is the bane of all Nature pets in the original game. Turned out that spread-out Mages are a lot more effective than those.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9KXf27EZ10

(Some parts are off screen, unfortunately, due to FRAPS stopping every 30 secs.
At 2:16 I reskilled all points from the reworked Weaken to Lower Resist)



I also played an interesting game with B33rman and his girl as a Barbarian/Necro hybrid Shouter. That made for some risky "stun-tanking" without proper gear. But no vid on that yet.

[b33rman]

hey violos.
nice vid!
if ur interested and have time to, we can play the upcoming weekend on either friday or sunday. testing whatever chars/combinations u want to. didnt had much time the last 2 weeks due to anno,bf3,minecraft,skyrim and terraria1.1 xD
but ill appreciate playing with u again :)

[b33rman]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rafR31qCzE4&feature=youtu.be

watch it :)

[Violos]

Nicely made. :) I like the choice of music.

And the Valkyrie is naked. :D

Thogh it goes to show that three characters in their prime working together are still too strong for early epic. Now it's "grim" and there are more spawns when there are more players, but still...
OTOH, that's how it should be when synergies work well. Nice change from the first trip through the ToJ, lol.

[b33rman]

thx :)

yes the naked valkyrie is pretty sweet heh?! ^^
i wouldnt say that there is a big balance issue in early epic. of course u can increase the difficulty level a bit without having trouble getting through it. the point is: 2 chars. were almost completely equipped with leg. items.
i guess it needs further testing.

furthermore i'd like to make more videos if were able to create more footage :)

[Violos]

Not a story of my own - but D2I now has a let's play series on Youtube.

Part 1: Meet the crows. :D

[Violos]

I used to be a Lightning Sorc... but then I learned to FUS RO DAAAH!

(EDIT: If you also live in a country where the artist exploitation industry is desperately clinging to its obsolete ways, use this link (http://3.hidemyass.com/ip-3/encoded/Oi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29tL3dhdGNoP3Y9MTM3Q3hhOHJuR3 M%3D&f=norefer).)


As you see, development is slowly continuing again after the christmas break.

Though initially this was just a test run with different Sorc builds (because a player had problems in grim difficulty) it did lead to some item modding, thus getting me back to my tools again. :)

[Biblyos]

Hello to everyone,

May I present to you Ishum-Adad the shaman:

2336
"My name is Ishum-Adad and I have been travelling to Greece to meet the great philiosophers and talk with them about the power of the mind granted by the Gods. But on my way there the boat I was on had a shipwreck, maybe her capitain did not do the right sacrifices or the Gods decided I need a bath, but I was able to reach the shore near a small village called Helos.

Even if I survived my untimely bath, I was almost naked when I arrived and the Gods put a fog in my mind causing a lost of memory of my spells!

But with time and the excitement of fighting some of my memory came back and I rediscovered my fire and thunder spells. One good thing about this period is that I learned how to use a spear and the utility of a shield! Never tought it could be useful since I was only using spells as a tribesman!

Every thing went well, whit a few close calls where a felt the shadow of death over my shoulder, until I reached the land of the Gyptos with their animal headed gods. Over there I met a sage named Imhotep, that fellow seems honest even if he was on the verge of hysteria, wasn't the first hysterical one I met, who ask me to help him.

If I knew what was ahead I would have went straight to Babylon... The only good thing on my way to my unkown dismay, was the meeting with a caravan fellow who had found pieces of my old equipement scattered on some beaches.

Did what that cunning Imhotep ask me to do with success, never tought that Egypt was so dry! Until I reached a place called "Hall of Prometheus" and fought "IT". "IT" best me twice, but the Gods brought me back, not a good feeling believe me!

Now i am in Babylon where I tought I could enjoy the famous gardens... No way, seems like even there troubles are waiting for me... As we say in the tribe "When you fall in yack poo, the smell follows you" I must have felt in a huge bunch of it as a kid!

[Violos]

Nice! He looks very Shaman-y indeed.
Which spells & shouts do you use?

And yeah... "IT" likes to eat casters. :D



P.S.
I just discovered a total of five new let's play videos (http://www.youtube.com/user/VALV3Gam35?feature=watch). :headbang:

[Biblyos]

Hi Violos,

Thank you for your appreciation of his look..... Since the last picture he changed a bit, with all is travelling he had to adapt...

I've got to tell you that in one session I must have found at least six or seven blue weapons and armor pieces!! Especially in caves...

As for the Shouts let Ishum-Adad tell you: "Shouting in combat, well I don't know, the only one I remember are the ones my tribes brothers did in dying. Oh! and the one's from my mother saying: "Stay away from the yack poo!", well that one did'nt work either!!"

Hi everybody.

I'm new here and I would like to thank this fantastic Diablo 2 Immortal mod.
Here is some pictures and a gameplay video of my character Jessica (Sorceress Level27). Sorceress is my favorite character in Diablo 2 LoD too. Now I'm in Thebes and I will go to the Valley of the Kings.

P.S.:
Sorry for my mistakes, but my english is not too good.

Here's another vid. Nothing special, though. I usually put vids on Xfire just to advertise games and mods that I think people should try. For publicity, basically.

http://www.xfire.com/video/54e91e/

[Violos]

Nice.
Looks like you have the skills down. How about the Shadow, don't you want to bring her too? Or fade yourself?

And what's that sound mod you use, yourfriend's? If it is... I planned to check that out and maybe include it for a while now. Seems definitely worth it.

[Drax]

Ha, I probably forgot my fade buff at the start of the game. I only have one point in the shadow, so don't use her much yet, 'till I get more points. Yeah, the sound mod is "Your Friendly Sound Mod" http://www.titanquest.net/tq-forum/threads/31411-REL-WIP-Your-Friendly-Sound-Mod

For music I have Diablo and D2 music on shuffle on Winamp. :)

[Violos]

Long vid here of my multiplayer gaming sessions with B33rman & others. To music, as always.

[Drax]

Nice

[csabadns]

very nice...and nice soundtrack:D

[Violos]

The funny thing is, I don't even like Rhapsody that much. The Italian accent is horrible, and if you actually understand what they are singing it does not get much better.

Yet here is my second video with them, of all choices. Somehow their music goes well with D2I.

[flix]

My Necromancer is gaining momentum and moving into Act II. I like the array of golems:

2451

It was a nice surprise to run into Blood Raven and Andariel.

Curses attract aggro big-time, so for a typical mob I start by lobbing a corpse explosion, sending my minions ahead of me, and then cursing with amplify damage just before the explosion as my minions strike. Then I fire Teeth like there's no tomorrow. If I get swarmed, Terror gets them off my back. To a lesser extent I'm using poison explosion. It's persistent but with a tiny radius, so I have to get creative in how I place them.

I'm sticking with Clay Golem for now, as I like his stun attack. I've got two skeletons and a mage, and I'm still debating on whether to make a skeleton army or do most of the work myself. As I said before, curses seem to anger enemies more than in Diablo 2, so a pure summoner may not be the way to go.

I don't think I ever made such nice shots of my own golems!
Except maybe metal, but those look different every time anyway...

Also like the helmet that rolled on that skeleton. Makes it look menacing.

But what's that on your head?
Did you know that in normal, you can get class wigs from Bishibosh?

It's the Oracle's Wreath. Too good to pass up (already had two other set pieces as hand-me-downs).

Are you talking about the former satyr shaman that Diomedes sends you to kill? I didn't even notice he got that name, heh. If so, I killed him about 35 times and never found a necromancer look. Nor an amazon look for that matter. I got all the others though, stuck them in storage. Barbarian looks dropped like candy at a parade. Tried the same thing with the giant boar in Lilith (about 10 runs).

Hello there,

here's another new player trying out D2I. I started with a pure sorceress and got incredibly lucky. I'm currently wearing all three "of the Magi" MI's ... and that's some insane faster cast :)
Also i'm going Fire/Cold with her. Well at the moment she's pure fire, but ice will come into the equation soon enough.
I just reached Megara and i even stumbled upon the surprise that is to be found at the spartan road. It chased me back all the way to the rebirth fountain at the spartan highlands before i managed to take it down.

I really like what i've experienced so far and the loading screen's line was pure bliss when i first heard it! :)
