| The nice thing about the game is that you can play for an hour an accomplish something productive. Even in act 3. Find a waypoint, clear a dungeon, complete a quest, there's pretty much always something you can do. And if it's not working (like my Amazon in Act 5), you can do something else! And if you have a whole day, you can get a lot done! Sort of like yesterday, when my arthritis was acting up (on the train was the first time I used that phrase correctly), after I was given good drugs to counter the pain (anti-inflammitories, unfortunately), I played Diablo 2. I also did other stuff, but in an orgy of killing I went from the River of Fire in act 4 through killing Diablo, clearing all of act 5 (where my Amazon was stuck), killing Baal and the Den of Evil on Nightmare level. In part this stunning success was because I discovered I could outfit hirelings. Imagine, if you will, a group AC buff that, oh, doubles the AC of your army of pet skeletons (6 of 'em). Plus your golem. And the hireling makes a great place to dump of those pieces of armour with fighter stats on them that I can't use. Plus I made some "crafted" items. The horadric cube wins. And as an added bonus, I didn't listen to a single person whine about how I needed to help them complete their epic quest, so that they could get what they wanted from my guild and move on to a guild who does cool stuff. Remember, if ensign crusher says it, it must be right: "Kids should play with other kids, and when they do, they should stay off my goddamn lawn." ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} bradhicks talks about one of those great American myths. Suffering makes you a better person. He did miss explicitly stating that other canard about how rich people don't understand what it's like to be poor and are also bad people, but he was swinging the brush about and probably covered it a little.Diablo 2. It rocks. | ||||||||
