Battle Net Funnies, Version 1.10

[Walkiry]

Oh that group I mentioned in the first paragraph?  They robbed my Andy drops, went to Act2 to sell them and returned to Act1 !!!  Not a word about going forward in Act2.  Not a word about how their characters "owned Andy".  The word is out about how hard the game has become and players are adapting.  The preceeding joke posts will be become a memory in ladder games for some time yet to come.

You're probably right, but so far it's been quite fun, enjoy it while you can ;)

Act 1 Nightmare, I create a game called "Act 1 Quest 2".

Random people join, lots. We're a full 8 people party before I've left town. I go to the cold plains and throw a portal, people come through. Few seconds later a level 12 starts yelling "my portal! my portal!" spamming the whole screen. Sure enough, the portal goes to catacombs level 2 as I see everyone but a paladin there in the party screen.

I shrug and go with the pally. My Valky tanks, I poison the baddies while he uses holy fire (really!) and FoH on undeads (which were quite resistant to my poison). We're doing some OK progress.

A couple of minutes pass.

A has been killed by tainted.
B has been killed by tainted.
C has been killed by tainted.
A has been killed by tainted.
D has been killed by tainted.
A has been killed by tainted.
B has been killed by tainted.

(and so forth :lol:)

Level 12 spammer: HELP! (x10).
Level 12 spammer: What are you doing in cold plains?? (x6)

Me: Well, the game is called Act 1 Quest 2, and that's what I intended to do when I created it.
Level 12 spammer: Why not Andy?? (x1000) (really!)
Me: What's the hurry?

Spammer has left the game.
A has left the game.
B has left the game.

The rest joined us in the cold plains and we started to really make some progress. We killed Blood Raven (the pally was quite happy to have orb sorcies to deal with poison resistant baddies since his FoH was sucking up too much mana). Dark wood, back, forth, the group actually stayed nicely together and we were starting to work well as an improvised team. We had two Valkies, the other Amazon was using lightning fury, we had the cold sorcies (one with the orb, the other used blizzard + spike) and the paladin was tanking and managing the mobs very handily.

And you know what? The game froze in Tristram and after some 20 seconds it came back, dropping every single person except for me out of the game. Curses!
