TL Mafia Diablo2 Master Guild!
Let's get TL Mafia back to Diablo 2! Games are played on Closed Battle.net, USEast Realm. Everybody is free to create any character they want and play how they want, but we have a weekly play group running every Sunday at 7pm (GMT -04:00) that has fixed characters. Which means that, if you intend to play with the official playgroup altogether, you have to reserve a character to play only in the scheduled time. We may set different group to complete different tasks in the future, in case this goes ahead.
1. Groups and Schedules:
- TL MAFIA OFFICIAL DIABLO 2 GROUP GAMES
Weekly, every Sunday at 23:00 GMT (+00:00) Starting at May 31 + Show Spoiler [Rules and Players] +The only rule is to play with your group character only at the scheduled time. Players: GB, Hapa, Yamato, HF, Obi, Artanis, Dandel Ion
2. Players:

1. Complete the first two acts in less than 2 and a half hours.
Christ lol. No way I'll ever be able to pull that off.
|
By the way, I feel like building a zeal/fire aura paladin or a light orb sorcerer

It's just a suggestion, anyway. I want to make things more entertaining.
Are you willing to play, obi?

I'd advise against "challenges."
Just let's have fun, clown around, and do fun stuff that we like.
I think I'll do a singer barbarian, although I'm pretty flexible to pick what our team needs the most.

Challenges aren't a must, it's just there for people that wants to try it
What do you think of the "reserve a character for playing with the team only" thing?

Casual piss about + alcohol seems like best bet. Especially as yamato never played the game!
Play whatever you want imo don't care about multiples

But yeh a character to play together and one for yourself seems cool
|
Okay if we're not doing challenges and stuff then I'm down. I'll have to repurchase the game but it's fine.

You don't need to repurchase. Finding a download copy is easy (and I'm pretty sure you can do it directly from Blizzard). You only need a CD key, and that's very easy to fake/generate/whatever.

Well, people could just create their characters and up them at different pace, so playing together would be difficult. That's why having a "Whole Team Online" character seems important to me.
I'd love to schedule a weekly time. What do you guys think? Give me some suggestions if you think this would be cool.

He will need an original key in order to play in Closed Battle.net
Unless you guys are thinking about Open Battle.net or TCP/IP

By the way, next ladder reset is May 27 I think we could try something 
Nevermind. StupidBear read an old BNET forum post.

Weekly time seems fine. Sometime on the weekend for a few hours, maybe more schedule permitting.
I don't know if we have to have the whole team online to play. That can be a bit prohibitive, because shit happens and people can't make weekly dates sometimes. Just go by an honors system - you can play with one or two people absent if it happens, as long as people help them catch up later.

If we're doing this for ourselves only with each other, closed B.net really isn't necessary (or ideal). You can use any server, and maybe even the reddit one.

Meh, I don't know, hapa. I find this private servers very sketchy. It's up to you guys to decide, though. Just remember that the games aren't more than 35 dollars.
Also, I'm thinking about putting a weekly schedule of 2 hours of play on Sundays. What time do you guys think is the best? When this is fixed, we will have a character to be played at that time, and only that time. We can play with whatever characters outside of this, of course. I think this is fair and not so prohibitive, right?
With Artanis, we are already 6!
Gonna do a poll for deciding servers
|
It looks like everyone has a CD key, so we can just use closed BNet servers.
Some time on Sunday should be fine. We should just set a start time, and go however long we feel like after that. Sometimes 2, maybe sometimes longer. Night works best for me, not sure what Holyflare's sleep schedule is though.
We should also roughly decide on characters. Probably should not have more than 2 of a given class, just so that people aren't fighting over items too much. I know Yamato wants to run a sorc. Does anyone else have something they want to run in mind?
|
I've always played sorc, I always want to play sorc
|
I probably will be doing some crazy paladin build like thorns zealot
Respec only to go against uber
|
|
I've already started playing. My account on USEast is GlowingBear (SHOCKING! :O)
Give me your account names so I can add you and put you on the player list
Also, I'm thinking about setting a weekly group gameplay every Sunday 07:00pm (GMT -04:00). Is it alright for everyone?
|
By the way, Ladder resets in 26 May (confirmed)
Would you like to wait until then?
|
I played through A1 today and yesterday, getting tons of framerate issues though. Did you experience anything like that GB? Also, any way to turn off fullscreen?
|

It lags sometimes, but didn't have any technichal issues, no.
I remember you could play on windowed mode if you changed something in diablo2 icon, putting an "-w" there.
Maybe you're experiencing lag because you're from Europe playing in USEast?

I doubt I'll be playing outside of the group at all, so the reset makes no difference for me (unless a new patch is coming or something).

Well, trying to catch a place on the ladder is cool. But I just realised that it can't be done playing only on sundays, so yeah.
Hapa, I want to start a zon outside the group. If you'd like to play with me in an hour or so, tell me.
|
By the way hapa, there is this thing that some items are ladder only and I'm not sure if Uber Tristram can be done outside the ladder
|
Some runewords and cube recipes have always been ladder-only. Uber Trisram is non-ladder though.
Also, I can't play in an hour - need to rune some errands this afternoon. Might be free at night.

Uh. Sure.

I like d2. I'd play it. I'd even play shitty classes. Shitty classes deserve love too.
|
Awesome! I'll add you to the players list.
I changed my mind. I want to do a tank enchantress, maybe
|
Alright guys, I've updated the OP.
We have 07 players that showed interest.
I'd love to know if people can start this Sunday so, please, see if the set up schedule is fine for you

Untwinked enchantress? Best of luck.
Also, sunday is fine

I work this sunday, and most weekends currently. My schedule should change soonish, though. Will keep you updated.
|
too lazy to do timezones but i should be home by 1 am or so, so it'll probably work out, never seen murricanos start anything before 3 am for me so im not worried.

I've put it to automatically show it in your timezone
By the way, it's showing 7pm for me, but it usually is 1 hour earlier than US times... Weird.
Anyway, I think it will start around 00:00, 01:00am for Europeans.
Please post your game accounts so I can add you and update the OP.
I'm postponing the start of the official group to May 31 so people have time to organise themselves, because ladder resets at May 26 and because I'm FUCKING BUSY THIS MONTH GODDAMNIT.
Oh I want to start a ladder run, outside the official group. Is anyone interested?
|
nah pretty sure thats too much work account should be Dandelion
|
Ok Added your account to the OP
|
I'm playing at the single player right now
If anyone is up to I can go online
PM me
|
I can play for about two hours sunday night I think. Nick is artanisxp.
|
|
I can play some tonight. "Hapahauli" = nick
|
Fuck I completely forgot about this.
What time are we going? I don't have anything downloaded or installed atm.
|
2 hours. I realized my account is on Europe. Are we playing US East or?
|
Afaik it's US East. GB set his thing up on US East and I think that's where the majority of us are.
I'm not really sure how much lag and stuff matters in this game though.
|
US East.
FWIW, GB's not starting until the end of the month:
I'm postponing the start of the official group to May 31 so people have time to organise themselves, because ladder resets at May 26 and because I'm FUCKING BUSY THIS MONTH GODDAMNIT.
I'll definitely hop on in an hour and get used to the game again.
|
What are you going to play? I'll make sure to select something else.
|
|
|
I'll get online
I've put this in USEast since it's the most common server + we have more people from the Americas.
|
I'll get on when I'm done installing this thing.
|
Reminder: the Official Group Play starts this Sunday, 31th May at 23:00 GMT (+00:00), in . We will be building ladder characters to play together. This means the characters we have already created won't be the official ones.
Also, I will participate on the ladder, but without any stress. Just playing whenever I have time. If someone wishes to do the same, PM me so we can set some kind of strategy 
I've updated the accounts of people that are already playing.
If anyone wants to join us, let me know.
|
I'M ON THE LADDER :O
EDIT: By the way, I'm building a Javazon for the Ladder. A Lightning sorceress with lightning mastery as a companion would make my life so beautiful...
|
It is TODAY! Is everyone ready?
|
|
I see you online but you're not answering me
|
I wasn't in chat. Why aren't you on teamspeak tho?
|
I wasn't because I'm traveling and I'm not using sound
And everybody forgot about this so it didn't happen tonight Next week guys?
|
I completely forgot about this.
|
Bah I think I need to drop out of this. Life's gotten busy, and I might not even be around on Sundays often.
Sorry
|
Meh, no probs
Anyway, I'm playing in the ladder. Anytime you guys feel like playing, just let me know
