We need to get ladder tournaments events this time around with Uber bosses.

Couldn't tell how many actual players there were and how many were bots and mules. The few people left just gave up.

I don't know why you bother playing past normal, it's literally the same

>>15257058

just slightly harder, and then incredibly harder

You don't play through games more than once? Are you 18?

installation:
-------------
Step 1) untar/bzip WINE, and manually apply patch to wine/server/sock.c:

Step 2) tar/bzip WINE, move it to its SlackBuilds directory, and run the build script

Step 3) install the WINE slackbuild package found in /tmp/

Step 4) untar/gzip pvpgn, make the build directory, and edit the cmake config to
build WITH_MYSQL.

Step 5) cmake, make, then make install pvpgn

Step 6) edit the following path/etc/pvpgn/bnetd.conf settings appropriately:
storage_path = "sql:mode=mysql;host=hostname;name=user;pass=pass;default=0;prefix=pvpgn_"
track = 0
servername = "diablo 2"

Step 7) add a realm to path/etc/pvpgn/realm.conf with your IP for d2cs:
"Name" "d2 server for anons" yourip:6113

Step 8) edit the following path/etc/pvpgn/d2cs.conf settings appropriately:
realmname = Name
servaddrs = yourip:6113
gameservlist = yourip
bnetdaddr = yourip:6112
motd = “optional info”

Step 9) edit the following path/etc/pvpgn/d2dbs.conf settings appropriately:
servaddres = yourip:6114
gameservlist = yourip

Step 10) unrar D2GS to the same directory as your Diablo 2 assets

Step 11) run wine regedit, import d2gs.reg, and edit the following keys under 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/D2Server/D2GS:
D2CSIP = yourip
D2DBSIP = yourip
EnableGSLog = 0 (optional, D2GS makes big logz)
EnableNTMode = 0 (optional, runs D2GS.exe as Windows service)
MaxGames = 100 (*defaults to 1 so remember to change this!)
MOTD = “optional info”

Step 12) create SQL db and grant privileges (db and user info from Step 6)

Step 13) start the daemons 

in the following order (check logs):
*in Windows you may need to allow firewall access per app on first run.
**the linux user running bnetd/d2cs/d2dbs needs r/w permissions to the
**path/etc/pvpgn and path/var/pvpgn directories.

a) bnetd (will create db tables very first run)
b) d2cs
c) d2dbs
d) wine D2GS.exe

Step 666) run Diablo 2 client and join the modified gateway to kill Diablo
*client setup outside the scope of this guide

All these niggers not playing Path of Diablo. 4shame d00d

>>15258646

whats the difference?

Do NOT play PoE. It was good but the. They got acquired by Tencent. It will slowly die a death of a thousand cuts and they do not care about the userbase any more. Some got permanent forum bans for complaining. They also attended several Sanfran gamecons in the years before selling.

>>15261617

>>15261542

we're talking blizz games lil fella did you miss out on that one

>>15257997

Why would you play a game twice? Is something wrong with your memory?

>>15261623

>>15261617

And then you fags complain that all mmos are shit.

They are shit because of you.

>>15261623

???

Diablo is a loot pinata game. The story is done with at the end of normal. All other difficulties and the actual gameplay at endgame is grind.

>>15261349

he said path of diablo, i believe its a mod for the game if my memory serves me right.

otherwise, yeah fuck PoE.

>>15262274

Scratch that, video games were a fucking mistake.

>>15248308

Server literally died within the first week, it'll never have the same player base as /v/.net.

>>15258646

Path of Diablo looks neat but I'm tired of the grind, is an Item/Gold Find Barb of any use/fun on it?

>>15262519

diablo 2 just doesn't have that much content.

i had fun running an elemental druid all the way through normal alone though, and thanks to whoever gifted me that full sigon set, it helped a bit.

Is there a version of D2MultiRes that works with the newest patch yet? I really liked playing in 1080p instead of 800x600.

>>15257058

Leveling up past 40 and having the skill points to complete a character build.
