My favorite line last night, when I finally got the connection sorted out and into a Hard Core game (by then my Variant friends were gone), was the comment of a Paladin in the Cold Plains:
"Man, it's different playing without Map Hack."
He is the same guy who asked me
"Why do I keep getting that message in the left hand corner of the screen about sold SoJ's"
Me: "Blizz added a neato feature, and a Diablo Clone will probably spawn at some point in this game if a magic number is hit."
"What number, and why are people selling SoJ's in HC already"
Me: "I don't know, and Blizz is not telling, but it is, IIRC, a Realm wide, Ladder and non Ladder thing. Check out their Forums and the Arreat Summit for more details, I am trying to play here. It was discussed a bit in the Beta for the patch."
He: "What, no one knows?"
Me: "For goodness sake, buddy, the patch is only a few hours old!'
He: "Yer just a f**kin noob, I'll go find some one who knows!"
*Person of dubious wit has just left the game, Diablo's minions laugh in their stew*
I admit that I dribbled some coffee out of my mouth giggling when I read his reply.
A litte while later, a few more folks joined in, game was named "andy now" and a 17 Level Hardcore Amazon showed up in the Barracks as I was in the process of fighting some rather nasty archers. Had to run to town for pots, they were being most rude. Shortly thereafter:
* So and so was slain by a Bone Archer *
My Guess: No points in Vitality, I suppose, and that four Skeleton Archer Champ Pack who had been making my level 12 Assassin dance a Tango, based on the Cross Fire they set up rather nicely, did for him rather nicely. I think the rube in question came down my TP when I ran to town for a few more red pots, and, sadly, walked right into it. I guess he never learned how to drink potions in those first 17 levels of Hardcore, and I of course never figured a 17 would be as far back as the Barracks. Whoops.
What was it that Yoda said to Luke when he turned 21?
"Drink, you will!"
Casual Conversation heard in the UW West Chat, Hardcore.
"Man, I lost a 94 Barb to that Diablo clone. He is tough."
"I took my barb against Pindle and he got F****n Owned!" These appeared to be non Ladder folks.
Some things never change.
