Diablo 3: Co-op with my 66 year old mother

That's right. Starting Tuesday May 15th at 7AM, I will embark upon a new brave adventure. Diablo 3.

Well you say many many people will be doing the exact same thing and I reply "Balderdash". Well actually it would be something like nope.

I'm going to be playing Diablo 3 co-op with my 66 year old mother(don't tell her I told her age). I am 45 years old myself and neither of us will be very good at the game.

She's going to roll a Barbarian and I'm going to be a Demon Hunter. We both got to play during the stress test weekend and while we weren't amazing at the game by any stretch of the imagination, we weren't the absolute worst players either.

During the stress test weekend, I hogged the game and took down the SK on 5 different occasions while mom made one complete run thru and killed the SK taking one death from the SK.

I'm going to be leveling the Blacksmith on my account and she is going to be leveling the Jeweler on hers. I do believe I can trust her to craft my stuff as she can trust me to craft hers.

I have Skype setup so we can communicate easily in-game as I think that will be key to improving her play and not having us wipe. Let's hope I'm not the weak link in the duo.

Not surprising is the fact that mom is retired. Possibly surprising is the fact that I am semi-retired and that allows us to play quite a bit each day. Therefore, I'm hoping we either clear Normal or are at least in Act 4 of Normal at the end of Day 1. Please check in on the blog from time to time to see an update of how we are doing.


I hope to remember to update the blog each morning before starting play. Mom will have to have her cup of coffee to get going and I will need my Coke Zero.

Hopefully at some point we make it to/thru Inferno. No matter what we will be having a blast playing the game.

Let me see how the first day goes and I might see if I can stream. Neither one of us has a webcam and I'm not sure if she would want everyone looking at her.

I do know it will be a test of my patience and ability to speak calmly and clearly to her while under stress. If I can do that and the stream doesn't lag us while playing........

If I do decide and am able to stream it, I will be sure to post it here.

I thought we were the only ones! My Mother(56) and my Father(55) will be running co-op with myself and my brother via skype.

Our class setup looks like: Mom(Monk), Dad(Barb), Brother(Wiz), Myself(DH)

Glad to hear there are more

Neither one of us played either Diablo game.

Most of our recent gaming experience is MMO's. My father played the MMO"s too before he passed in early 2008.

My parents were always the "cool" parents even if I didn't always understand how my friends thought MY parents were the "cool" parents.



Here is a list of some of the MMO's we progressed through.

Asheron's Call
Anarchy Online
DAOC
Star Wars Online
WoW
Lotro

Anyways, I was going to try and only post here once a day but it's nice to see how well this has been received.

Well it is Noon eastern US time on Saturday. That means less than 70 hours til we start playing D3.

I am pretty bored as all I want to do is play D3 and obviously I can't do that. Also, I'm trying to not spoil any big details and that makes it hard to surf the net.

I do have Mom's barb and my DH build figured out up to level 19. I think I will plan it on out up to level 30 as if we finish Normal Tuesday we should be around level 30.

The reason I only went to level 19 is that is when you have all 6 abilities available.

I'm going with simple builds and I might even change what I have planned so far.

So I'm bored and thinking about builds that map out from 1-19 and 1-30.

I plan to post at least once a day from here on......

My dad will be playing, and he's only a few years younger than your mom. To be fair though, he made it through nightmare in D2, and raided a bit in WoW. He still isn't amazing, though...
Out there, the Kid learned to fend for himself. Learned to build. Learned to break.
