The game gets good after normal mode

In act 3 of Normal i'm having to adjust how I fight because stuff I was doing in act  1 and 2 isn't as effective in 3.  I imagine Nightmare is going to require a lot more re-tooling of combat startegies and powers.  Gotta keep evolving as the game evolves i guess.

you better buddy up as well. SHITS ABOUT TO GET CRAZY!!!

I just finished normal with my wizard this weekend. I'm up for any multiplayer on nightmare. I'm also slogging through normal again on my Barbarian.

If only the game ran well on my work laptop.

Port Blocking FTL :(

Yep, we've found that 1 or 4 works best. You ride the edge when playing with 2-3. I never ventured into NM in D2. Not sure why, but I'm having a real good time so far.

I unlocked NM last night as well.  Didn't get too far into it though, first quest or two.  Got a rare off of a regular class zombie guy... that was pretty cool.

My character's a lvl 33 with a 500 damage rating,  is that decent for NM?

Holy shit, was playing 2-player normal mode last night as my Monk (level 15-ish), with a Barbarian (level 16-ish). The game was so disgustingly easy, it really did become unfun. We'd wade into a group of 20 enemies and within 2 seconds there was guts and body pieces everywhere and the Barb and I didn't even lose any life.

Definitely looking forward to Nightmare mode and hopefully having to develop some strategy to survive! (I assume it unlocks after you beat the game once?).

I also think I need to start another class and bump up the difficulty (I don't think you can change difficulty on your current playthrough?)

You can't change the difficulty until you fnish the game, then it changes automatically to NM.

just beat normal and I want to play it all over again.

I seem to be in this weird timing space....  I have two people on my FL who are like way ahead of me on NM, they're like mid way thru act 3 of maybe act 4 now.  I just started NM, killed the Skelly King.  And everyone else is freak'in playing Normal.  I'm not going to be able to play much the next week since i'm going on vacation so hopefully when I get back, people will have caught up a little :lol:

I should be caught up to you soon, just starting NM tonight (i think).  You could always jump in with me but my mac has had issues with slowdown in MP games :(

GG's tonight Tank!

:(  I saw you on Banshee but I think I noticed that.

i was all over the place last night.  Played a mission or two on my own, then jumped into Taco's game and did the boss fight on ac1 NM and a maybe the first mission of a2.  Then jumped in with Shadow and backtracked to the skelly king fight.  I'm all over the map LOL.   Its just more fun to play with at least one other person, i've yet to get a 4 player going though.  Dunno wtf was going on in Shadows game though, like 75% of the stuff i was picking up was class specific and not for my class....  I did get a worth while amulet though, other than that it was all salvage or sell.

That's odd, sorry about that.  I didn't get ANY WD stuff at all either.

I'll have to give it another try I guess...I think I am close to finishing normal anyway.  I am just so bored with the game that I went back and restarted LA Noire if that is any indication to you how absolutely bored of the game I am.  I said this somewhere else I think, but this game feels like old school WoW farming to me.  Honestly, I had really hoped for more.  I guess hack and slash just doesn't do much any more for me after well developed MMO raids and PvP...
