For the past 2 days straight all i’ve been doing is playing Diablo 2. About 2 and a ½ years ago I played this game non-stop for around 6 months, creating every single character and getting it to like level 90 or so. This time Mike and I decided to play it in hardcore (the only way Mike likes to play Diablo) which means that if your character dies in the game, that’s it. The following is all Diablo talk.

Attempt #1
I made a paladin and Mike made a necromancer. We came to Act 4 when it was time to kill Diablo. My paladin didn’t have that much health but good damage (I was making a zeal paladin). I had to take off all of Diablo’s health because Diablo kills the necromancers skeletons pretty fast. Diablo killed me at level 28! ARGH!!!

Attempt #2
After sulking about the death of my paladin I sucked it up and Mike and I made new characters. This time I made a barbarian (more health haha) and Mike made a sorceress. We made a great team and soon had reached the final Act in “normal” and killed Baal. To level up a little we decided to do some public baal runs. On the 2nd run a level 92 sorceress joined. Being a little weary (beacuse it was hardcore) we still stayed and wanted to kill Baal to see if he’d drop any items we could use. In less than 5 seconds, that level 92 sorceress had found us in the throne room and had gone hostile and killed Mikes sorc. In that fraction of a second, I saw the death message of Mike, heard him say “uh what?” and then heard the sound of the sorc going hostile on me. No way was I going to die this time so I saved and quit just in time.

Attempt #3
Now Mike and I will level my barbarian with his necromancer. We’re around level 50 now so i’ll let you know how it goes hehe.

Anyone that plays Diablo 2 will know how long it takes to get characters to level if you are only playing by yourself and don’t have a higher character there to help you level yours. So that was 3 days playing time.
