Just saw your question on the Q&A thread, sorry I missed it the first time.
I'm loving the game! I haven't gotten too far because I don't have a lot of time. I'm still in Act I, though I only have 2 quests left in it. I did buy the expansion set and I love the graphics improvements. I'm only using an Amazon character at the moment, so I haven't had seen the new details on the 2 new characters, but I think I'll use one of them on the next game I start.
Are you playing it now? How are you liking it?
I haven't played it online yet, I kinda want to work more on my single player game so I get more comfortable using the controls and whatnot (I played the original Diablo on my playstation, so there are some key differences when moving around).
I definitely like this sequel, I'm really impressed on how good it is, considering how much I loved Diablo I was afraid it wouldn't be that much better. Boy, was I wrong.

I to played the original Diablo on playstation with my friend (we got a bit geeky..lol) and made 4 pages of rings we had.
Played 2 as Amazon (was Amazon in 1st, providing cover for friend "rageing Barbarian")in 2 player mode.
Played Daiblo 2 to end of act 2. Then discovered "trainers" for it, tryed most characters, like the trainers though allowing you armour of 1024 defence http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif.
I must say though if you intend to use trainers and the like do not up-grade your LOD to version 1.09 as many trainers just won't work, and most of the up-grades are for battle-net playing, which is why ver1.09 was intended to stop people crashing servers and cheating to much by introduceing better encryption. Apparently some on-line clans boards have been shut down by Blizzard due to improper use on the net.
Whats your best part of Diablo 2?
mine was going back to Tristram, and getting my money back off that one legged boy lol and his leg.
TIP apparently if you complete the game in normal mode up to killing Diablo, then go back to the begining and use the cube to morph wooden leg & portal scroll you can access cow level.....with killer cows http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
not tryed that yet...

My favorite part of Diablo 2 is, coincidentally, the same as yours. Only, at the part when you free Decard Cain, I remember yelling at him because he wouldn't let me use his portal. I had to fight my way back to mine http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/tongue.gif

The visit back to Tristam was pretty neat. Kinda of sad in a way, too, considering all I did to save that town in Diablo. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/tongue.gif
I was wondering what the use of Wirt's leg was (I'm holding on to it). I'll have to try that trick when I get near the end of the game.
I still have version v1.07, haven't upgraded (especially since I'm not playing on the net right now).
I also love having Paige as my helper. She's doing a damn good job at keeping me alive when I get attacked by a huge horde. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
I'll have to check out all those trainers y'all are talking about. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Trainers are some kind of cheat (code or program) that has no place in the Diablo world! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/tongue.gif
Yessss, go visit the cows! Moo! Moooo! (they are more than deadly! And if you die you can't go back to get your stuff!) Dump the peg-leg, you can get another one when you re-start. The game will let you do the "normal" level again, but without any quests (zzzz) and little or no experience. The higher levels are more fun and give more goodies http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
Life begins at around level 50 or so, then you're eligable for the top items when you kill things or gamble with the merchants. Diablo always drops the best stuff, followed by the Cow King and some of the "boss" badguys.
Amazon (bows are my favorite), or Barbarian for me.

I think my favorite item is a spear that has 3 sockets filled with flawless diamonds and ruby's, has a huge bonus against...well...ALL enemies, shock, fire, frost enhanced, super durable/light weight, increased healing/mana recharge/light radius, with a few cool spells mingled in.
If you play a hardcore game, you'll need a weapon like that.
Trust me.
Oh, and you haven't played Diablo2 until you've played hardcore. It's simply amazing http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Don't have my stats right in front of me, but I'm only around level 14 (just haven't had a lot of time to play).
My current favorite item is my chain mail armor with 3 sockets filled with chipped stones. It's given me added life, mana, replenish life, and resistance to some stuff. It's good armor for how early in the game I'm at.

still having posting problems http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/frown.gif think its my
ISP. posting takes ages....half a blue bar....5 minutes later just jumps to posted screen....adjusted explorer to refresh page when visited....no difference. Sometimes if I leave the site then come back...I see my post other times not...had a short post that for some reason when I hit return to move down line decided to post, I came back to delete it it said no-way but now its gone?
I think "worts" inside my machine with his leg http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
my character is the expansion druid, but he was also my test character for loading items in...I'm useing those items on act one http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
by first pumping up my character stats http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif then loading items in bit by bit.
(I can here the hiss of the cat lol)
I have had problems with the "hired" character....me being me...pumped her up to
and gave her items.....it crashed out, so I had to set her as "dead" mind you with the stuff I have most things on act one drop dead before getting to me http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif and with all spells on level 20 http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
I must say in the cats defence, you do end up chucking stuff without IDing it because its useless....draw backs are repairing things, but just duck out refill gold http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
it does however give you the chance to wander all over the place without ever fearing you'll die. Whacking bosses once and watching them die is satisfying http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
before trainers I have a tough time on act 2
killing the final boss, opened many a portal to escape to town for more mana,health....about 4 goes I think.
One thing I miss from Diablo 1 ...are the sections which had closeable gates..loved to open uh-oh...shut lol...firewall in front of gate...its got through run,run lol http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

I get those same problems on occasion stingger. I thnk some of it is Hostboard, it really does slow down sometimes. Just use shift+refresh a lot. Also, if the blue bar goes about halfway when you post something, then it probably posted ok. The slow down just seems to be getting back to the topic thread itself.
So far, my "partner" is doing well, except that she kills some monsters before I get to them and so she's getting the experience points. But, it's worth it, she's saved my ass a few times.
I do miss that in Diablo you could close gates on monsters. And that everyone could cast spells. Now, they're just "skills", which is also cool, just wish I had both abilities.

Yeah, I've been good to my partner (Paige is the name they gave her when I completed the quest that gave her to me). She seems to come with the ability to inflict cold on monsters, plus the bow I gave her poisons them. I've made sure to give her good armor, too. I take care of my women. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/wink.gif
I will definitely have to try the cow level when I'm a much stronger character (you know, I knew something was up with all these cows everywhere).

??? you can GIVE things to your helper???
Oy! How on earth do you do that?
Paige is cool, that frost effect rules! It's a must-have for a lot of reasons. And Paige doesn't steal your XP! You get it! I checked!
It's just a matter of personal opinion, like playing Doom in 'god mode' all the time. Some people prefer it, others hate it. I'd just rather 'earn' my goodies, rather than type DF=200 and get it that way... With Doom some levels were so hard, you almost had to "god mode" it, but Diablo is usually pretty easy (except for that one boss, and Diablo himself).

You can give armor (just body and head) to her, plus a weapon. So, you can help improve your helper but don't ahve to spend too much money on him/her.

Yeah, sorry, it is an expansion thing. One of the nice benefits of the expansion. I highly recommend getting it if you can. The graphics are much improved (you can play in 800X600 resolution now), there's more items, more monsters, 2 new characters, a larger private stash, more gold you can have, plus a whole new Act.
Thanks for the email, stingger, btw. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
I have a question for people: Sometimes after killing a champion or other tough creature, I get these two arrows showing up in the upper right corner. They stay up there a little while, then change to pink/red, then eventually fade. What are they? Are they some kind of compass? I can't figure it out.

I stand corrected! (sort of!) In regular DII your helper just gives you his/her experience. But in the Expansion he/she shares with you & vice versa.

Running low on arrows (bolts in my case), huh? Cool. That's useful info for me, and explains why it rarely comes up, since I don't normally run low. Wonder what amount triggers it. Thanks for letting me know, it was driving me nuts.
So, where do I put "Jade" again? I couldn't figure out which folder she goes in.

My crossbow is better than any bow I've found (except for this stag one I don't have enough dexterity for. I have it sitting in my private stash until I can use it). This crossbow had 3 sockets, so I was able to add some good power to it (lightning and fire damage). I want to start using that stag bow soon, though. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

It's handy to go to Battlenet anyhow, since it'll automatically update you with the latest patches http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif And good patches they are too!
Bolts? Someone actually uses a crossbow??
I think 50 gets you a white crossed arrows, and 25 turns them red. If you have some in your equipment, it counts those too.
With 350 per bundle now, it's pretty hard to run out!

Don't like the 1.09 changes, and as I don't play on-line I stick with ver 1.08 (back graded as it were) it keeps the editors/trainers stable too http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

I've got 1.09c and it's doing ok. I like some of the fixes from 1.08, but there are a few I don't care for (like only being able to make crafted items with a perfect gem-glad I crafted some cool gloves before then). I'm sure they'll update again.
On my non-trained, normal character, I've finally moved into Act III and am at level 25.
Got the trainer and prime evil pack you sent me, stingger. It's fun making up new characters. I've run into a few items that freeze the game, but otherwise, it's working well (they have a new version out, 0.87beta, that I was able to download-i had problems with trying to use the version you sent me on v1.09c). I just find it cool seeing items that I probably wouldn't see any other way. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif
Online game: I've played a little online. It actually works well even with just a modem connection. I'm only at level 6, though. Just haven't put too much time into it.
Is anyone interested in playing online? Maybe we could start our own game, password protected, so we could all join together.
Oh yeah, runes--I downloaded the updated list from Blizzard. The most important thing seems to be making sure the patch you have coordinates with the Rune words you want to use. I'm still trying to collect a few certain runes so I can make a really cool sword (got the sword with 3 sockets, just need one more rune).
5Cats--what character(s) are you using?
