more of my worthless thoughts
I spent most of my time since Sept 23rd playing Diablo 2 Resurrected
aka D2R.
(you can tell this blog has been dead for 2 months now)
As an ageing mostly solo player I find it somewhat frustrating.
For one thing the game is definitely geared towards multiplayer
and towards a multiplayer style I object to.
For one thing I am too old, too tired, too slow to keep up with any crowd.
All these top builds this so called S Tier is geared towards Single Element players who are utterly useless in the real game where one does not come across Bers galore everyday and where one depends on others for killing the stuff that he can't.
Personally I called this LEECHING. It reminds me highly of all these zbuilds in D3 unable to kill anything by themselves but begging for games for XP doing nothing.
You can replace the words "anything" and "nothing" by "fuck all" if you wish.
The sorceress seems to be a highly favourite
and maybe it's only me
and I AM JUST TOO FUCKING OLD
but it doesn't work for me.
My AngeleQuiGele doesn't Gele/Freeze anything anymore since she had been respecced 3 times and is now a useless Fire/Lightning trying to max on this Eschuta I found.
She is stuck at hell ancients for now and can't pass that hurdle and can't be helped for now.
I did manage to get her there and my Javazon only by clearing all the immunes with my Necro who is my best so far and doing well but slow at lvl 89.
I feel like I should buy another version of the game and get my old computer out for two reasons:
One: I am a HORRIBLE HOARDER and I got my maximum 20 characters now loaded with crap.
Two: I could play a 2 players game all by myself in other words:
Play with myself. ;)
Not sure if that would work but it would be worth a try to sit my sorc in a corner and let my necro clear the ancient and most of the stuff.
Now for good news I think I got
my very first ever Obedience Cryptic Axe
and MY FIRST EVER HOTO (Heart of The Oak)
with my only Vex and a Pul I had to make out of 3 Lems
and now I am out of Lems and Puls and I need a Pul for something I forgot???
the Sorceress Armor maybe? Or to upgrade my useless Javelins on my Javazon.
I don't see the day in this life time where I will ever get myself an Enigma
or an Infinity since I can't find a single Ber let alone three.
I have been doing hell cows until the cows come home and I hardly get anything from that except maybe one white cryptic axe.
Anyway as I was saying earlier
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
I got a unique ring from NM Meph with 300+ % MF (Magic Finding) and you'd think it could be an SOJ but you'd be wrong just one more bloody useless Manald, not even a decent Nagelring.
Still awaiting my elusive Shako and Paladin Zakarum Shield and so many other things.
O well as I was telling my shrink these big companies hire the best of the best shrinks to keep y0u hooked in pain like good psychotic drug dealers.
You get shite for days and days and are ready to quit and bada bing bada boom a half decent item to get you back in the cycle of hell.
Anyway it keeps me busy for now. I tried to go back to Last Epoch which I had played extensively the previous month and it's like I had never played the game before, I couldn't remember fuck all.
So here it goes Darkness and Oblivion and Merciless Universe! :P
NOT EVEN DEATH CAN SAVE YOU FROM ME!
Diablo's famous last words.
Speaking of I just heard that Heath Ledger's last words were almost my fav last words joke paraphrased:
Famous last words: Trust me I know what I am doing
he said "Katie, Katie, I'll be fine." I know what I am doing.
P.S. Last frustration is doing the same mistake over and over and over AGAIN,
i.e. I often try to get a waypoint before tea etc and sometimes I miss a few waypoints and go through 2 or 3 zones without one and
YOU WOULD THINK
I would be SMART enough to throw a portal JUST IN CASE eh?
Well you'd be WRONG! :)
I die and I have to go back through these 2 or 3 zones NAKED while I could barely do it all dressed up and then I feel like banging my head against a brick wall absolutely disgusted by my own stupidity~ :)
