Diablo III on Battlenet

Let's do the opposite of the last event. Five classes to choose from, four slots, everyone picks a class. To keep it interesting, lets shoot for a class you haven't played before if possible.

A few ground rules:

No two people playing the same class

This isn't a naked run, so... Read All

I'd like to do Witch Doctor, I could also do Wizard (my Wizard is barely existent at this point).

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:28pm

I pick ze Monk.

I am ok with starting again. Even if we must play the Spider level again :D

Friday wrote on 05/30/2013 at 03:08am

I've never done demon hunter or witch doctor, mostly because those both seem crazy complicated and death-y. My Monk is 60+9, my wizard is 44, and barb is...whatever it is after our last run. So I guess I'm a demon hunter, since Trav is doing witch doctor...?

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/30/2013 at 04:48am

Witch Doctors are fun. Haven't played as a Demon Hunter. And you don't HAVE to go pets with a WD. Well when you get enough skills to effectively choose.

After playing today with you guys for a few minutes I totally dug Travis Barb character. It was so decked out. Plus with your Wizard, it was like no contest for hellions.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 05/30/2013 at 02:12pm

Barb opens up a lot when you get whirlwind. It's so fun, if a bit overpowered. Some people call it spin-to-win. :)

Friday wrote on 06/01/2013 at 03:52am

It had been forever since I played my wizard, I'd completely forgotten how much fun it is (and how very smite-y)! My problem with the ranged characters in D3 is that my entire strategy is to run into the middle of a group of monsters and start punching. Great for Monk and Barbarian, less healthy for ranged characters. Tomorrow night may just end in my repeated death.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/01/2013 at 04:36am

I have one of each character class, but nothing higher than level 22. I'll go with the flow, and pick something supportive :).

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/01/2013 at 06:19am

Ok so are we going Act 1 starting again or something else?

If so I have the Barb from the last event ready for Act 2.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/01/2013 at 06:36am

A change of scenery would be nice, but I'm up for anything.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/01/2013 at 08:53pm

If we're doing act 2 we'll need to get our characters up to that point. Should only take a couple of hours, but let us know.

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/01/2013 at 08:56pm

Diablo needs a level sync like some MMO's have so you don't have to worry about that crap! :)

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/01/2013 at 11:54pm

Since no one else will decide then lets do act I again with fresh characters.

TAKE THAT EVERYONE!

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/01/2013 at 11:54pm

Oh and I still get Monk.

ZING!

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 12:07am

My status is pending. Transformer blew just down the road and the whole block is without power. I'll keep you posted.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 12:09am

Damn. Hoping for the best.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 12:11am

Maybe I can get it running on my iPhone...

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 12:11am

Yeah totally, let me know how that works out. Its just a point and click game anyway, prob work with touch.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 01:32am

Still nothing :(

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 01:50am

We are now fully operational!

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 01:56am

Sweet. Be there soon.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:03am

that was a lot of fun! Thanks everyone :)

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:04am

so glad you implemented the event system!!

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:04am

Glad you got your power back on! :)

So next week, Act 2, whatever class you want?

scrypt Supporter wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:06am

I'm totally down!

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:10am

Sounds good Travis. And im glad i made it too :D

Friday wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:28am

I'm game! Trav and I were just talking about it, I think we're going to try to get me a witch doctor through Act I tomorrow--that's the only class I haven't played yet.

Vaguely related: We decided to speed-run the whole game after we finished inferno this afternoon and there are achievements for clearing each act in under 1 hour. Running level 60 monks through on normal difficulty is more fun than you might think! :)

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:36am

It's a whole new way of playing the game. Trying to dodge enemies is a whole different feel than fighting them. But just blasting through an act in like 40 minutes or less is fun.

It's also amusing when they attack you and just explode. I don't know why, I don't even have thorns damage. They just explode. The Butcher even.

jdodson Admin wrote on 06/02/2013 at 04:55pm

That sounds awesome and id totally be down to watch that(don't quite have a level 60 yet).

When you guys do that, can you like... screen record it?

Travis Admin Post Author wrote on 06/02/2013 at 05:55pm

We just finished, actually. But this is about what it's like:

I'm glad you're using that image again :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/24/2013 at 08:07pm

Yeah, I had too. Looking forward to Cold Stream, it looks like a fun map.

scrypt Supporter wrote on 05/25/2013 at 01:46am

Would if I could. Also, that picture, as well as the "kidney" shot you had up earlier, are hilarious. :D

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/25/2013 at 02:15am

If pushing this out an hour makes it better for you let me know.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/25/2013 at 05:39pm

Welcome vdogmr! Does anyone have a preferred character?

Tungsten wrote on 05/27/2013 at 12:04pm

If no one else signs up I may pop in.

vdogmr25 wrote on 05/27/2013 at 07:41pm

I don't really have a character preference.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:33pm

If everyone is ok with me picking Rochelle ill play her.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:52pm

I don't think I've ever picked a character, I just have it randomize it for me.

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 05/29/2013 at 11:55am

I usually play as Rochelle but it doesn't really matter to me, it's aesthetics anyway. I'll even play as Nick :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/29/2013 at 04:20pm

ROCHELLE FIGHT!

Ok, to be fair then ill just take luck of the order. :D

Travis Admin wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:05am

Safe to say vdogmr has had the most L4D experience. :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:06am

That was very fun guys thanks. Ill have to sort out my voice issues.

First time all the way through Cold Stream myself. Have you guys played that one before?

Travis Admin wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:12am

I've played through all of L4D2, but only this map and the mall in L4D2. I'm still kinda new to it.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:14am

I didn't quite parse that right I think..

vdogmr25 wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:26am

That was awesome. I've played Cold Stream once before. Thought the door in the canal was on the left.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:28am

Haahaha, that water was fast. Oh well nothing says "learning" like dying.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:51am

Yeah sorry, I've played through all of L4D1. That was the issue

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 02:53am

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 05/31/2013 at 11:58am

had a blast, thanks guys! next time let's up the difficulty and go with gib fest. :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 03:08pm

Whats gib fest?

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 05/31/2013 at 09:34pm

M60's with bottomless clip and magnum's (magnum's need reloading) :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 05/31/2013 at 09:44pm

Hey that's cool.

That could be really fun.

Tim_Bodnar wrote on 06/03/2013 at 10:27pm

Set up a date and time. :)

Now all I need to consider is what to call my Barb and if it will be a he or she. Hmmmm.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/25/2013 at 04:10am

Something to consider to up the ante. Hardcore!

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/25/2013 at 05:06am

Oh damn. I don't know. Maybe for the second one, I might die quickly. Then again, we start in normal...

Its up to scrypt its his game. After thinking about it more, its not a bad idea.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/25/2013 at 05:11am

Since I'll personally probably never use the character afterward, it would spice it up definitely.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure I'll be able to make it, so I'm leaving my name off. If you don't fill it up I'll try to join in.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/26/2013 at 11:26pm

I will be here, bringing one more as well (Hi Friday!)

See you in a couple of hours!

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 12:04am

Hey Friday!

Nice of you to join us Travis, see you all soon.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:35am

That was awesome. Next class? :)

scrypt Supporter Post Author wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:36am

that was super fun! nice to get back into D3. We should do Monk next... o.O

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:37am

Hahahaha, interesting. All Barbs was hella fun because we absolutely demolished everything.

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:38am

Monk might be a good idea, never played as one before. Or the Wizard. Or Rogue. Or Demon Hunger.

Actually come to think of it, ive only played as the Barb and Witch Doctor.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:57am

The only one I haven't played is WD. Four WD's could be fun. ZOMBIE DOGS EVERYWHERE.

But Jon, Rogue? Did you get early access to an expansion I don't have? :) Or were you suggesting a Diablo 1 night? That could also be quite interesting if there's a way to pull the networking off these days.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 04:57am

4 Monks could tear up the minions of hell. Katie and I have been double monking inferno and it's a blast.

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 05:00am

Sorry, I meant Demon Hunter. :D I don't know if I could do the original Diablo, you walk so very slowly.

scrypt Supporter Post Author wrote on 05/27/2013 at 05:02am

We should have voice chat going next time. through Steam or Skype or something.

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 05:08am

I had the overlay going, does voice work over that?

Travis Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 05:09am

It should, yeah.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/27/2013 at 05:25am

Also, you guys need to get a character to 60 for some fun inferno runs!

Travis Admin wrote on 05/28/2013 at 04:13pm

http://cheerfulghost.com/Travis/events/15

Thought I'd try the opposite. :)

jdodson Admin wrote on 05/28/2013 at 04:57pm

I dig the idea, unknown if I can join but doing regular events on certain games is dope fly.

Travis Admin wrote on 05/28/2013 at 05:10pm

Feel free to suggest other times! I just put it in the same timeslot as the last one, but we can change that.
