West SC Ladder. We’re doing pretty well right now, mainly thanks to **Chronos** and **iampunha** but the latter reset is comming up, and that means we have to start all over. Come join us, we can use all the help. When we play we play in game sdmb password cecil ---

Alright folks, as **Hirka T’Bawa** already mentioned, it’s time for a new ladder season! **Punha** and **Chronos** are technologically-challenged for the next few days, but I had a discussion with **P** on instant messanger and he suggested I post our team strategy here so we’re all on the same page. We’ll be making, by priority: 1. Mace Frenzybarb 2. (tied) Convadin a la Clonekiller 3. (tied) Fire Sorceress 4. Hammerdin 5. Blizz/Meteor Sorceress 6. Armymancer 7. Second Clonekiller 8. Third sorc Each of these will be on its own team account. The new team accounts will be sd2-team, sd2-team1, etc. We’ll pretty much be remaking the same team accounts from last season, so the Convadin will be on sd2-team, etc. So we need people to build these characters, and we need to coordinate who is building what in this thread. I’m probably most comfortable with the fire sorc, but I can build one of the others if someone really wants to build her. If you’re unsure how to build any of these, you can either ask in this thread or email [EMAIL=sadpunk@gmail.com]Punha. If you’ve been wanting to play Diablo 2 on BNet with a friendly, mature group of players, now is the time to jump in. It should be a blast. ---

I’m assuming your Convadin is a pally with conviction as the main aura a la Boss. I’ll offer to take him. Plus the Fire Sorc will have better luck with a conviction pally next to her. Remember everybody, The reset is this Monday. Please come and join us, We’ll have a lot of fun! ---

Yeah, the Convadin is pretty much a rebuild of Boss. P also offered to build the barb, which would probably be best with the computer/connection problems he’s been having. ---

With the reset, my brother has (finally) agreed to move over to West, although he isn’t likely to be much of a regular player. I’m more likely to be able to join in on a scheduled basis and would like to handle one of the Sorceresses. The build punha had me working on on East was a combo Orb/Meteor; I expect I can handle the Blizzard/Meteor build without too much trouble. When’s the first game? ---

What with the new ladder, I might start playing US West. In which case, I’m planning to build a Fire Sorceress for my first character. Not sure of the account name yet, I’ll post it once ladder resets and I log in. ---

Now I feel left out. I quit D2 when I went into WoW, I don’t even have D2 installed anymore. I really enjoyed the last ladder reset, my skellymancer was very popular to a USWest community with 100,000 sorceresses during the first two or three days. Although I’m not going back to D2, I do miss you guys. Tell **punha** I said “hi”. ---

Ok, I just bought the D2 battle chest. Account name is N9IWP. I assume I would go to uswest and join the private sdmb game with cecil as the password. I’ll be on later tonight (7pm central aug 13) - help is appreciated. I don’t know what I’m doing (tho I have played the demo and many MANY computer and tabletop RPGs) and am wiling to create whatever char is needed. Brian ---

I hate to resurrect an old thread, but I thought that it would be better than creating a new one. I just started playing again. I’m playing on USEast. Anybody still playing? Anybody have decent equipment for an amazon or sorceress? Starting over with nothing really sucks. ---

Yes, do a ladder character. There is not much diffrence between a ladder and a non-ladder character. There is a ladder that is reset occasionally, last time was last August. When the ladder resets everything on the ladder becomes non-ladder, and the ladder starts over. Its like starting on a completly new realm, everyone has nothing, and stuff is actully worth something. Personally, I can’t wait till the ladder resets again, it was the most fun I’ve ever had playing 🙂 Come join us,we are always happy to accept new dopers.
