Variant Nite

[KingOfPain]

Sounds like a good time to reinstate VNite :wub:

VNite is to encourage people who don't usually play much, or just don't play much on bnet, to make one day out of a week to catch up with friends to shoot the breeze and maybe catch a few games.
VNite is to encourage people to bring in their variants to coop with other similar characters.
Everyone is welcome (even with non Variant character) to join games and chat, and to play as long as proper courtesy is given to the game setting (Observe what variant(s) are in game).

Reminder: Channel RBD is the place to meet when bnet hiccups and trashes games.

Hope to see you all




Semi/Cripples who can appreciate some good travel campanions:

AlleyBaba - Fallen from grace to a street thug singing for nickles and dimes with only one loyal thief by his side. He still have 2 name sake Ali Babas hoping to find his fortune again. He can only afford tshirts and baseball caps (a first for KoP, I despise caps) and saving up for a cap with Harley logo. He is in early 60s entering Hell.

Alice Co-oper - Lvl 40ish naked Traffic Controller. Skills are: Attract, DV (Hardly ever used), Confuse, Decrep, Prison (for traffic violations) and CE to clear road blocks.

BruiseKnee - naked kick asn at clvl 21. can kick ass in act 1 :wacko:

GoGoGadgets - Lvl 27 looking for Baal. No Skill baba

ACoolMeleeExp (ACME) - Melee version of GGG. Lvl 18 somewhere in act 2-3

GoodBadNUgly - Lvl 60 tri-were druid in hell 2. Rabies in wolf form to infect monsters, changes to human form and then to bear form and give monsters a shock therapy. Slow paced due to time for rabies to work and relatively low poison dmg in Hell. He can be one hack of a tank in bear form, not from items or vit pump but Shockwave is quite effective. Can be highly dangerous character to play - can die easy between transformations

Also: I will be pre-building a bunch of BN(x) characters for BN games. Everyone is encouraged to pre-build, which means starting a new character and lvl it to clvl 9 at which time it can be hostiled. Questing to Cain and OC is usual.

Shadow and I have already started this morning running 2 baba to the OC. Hers is a thrower and mine is a Berserker. QuietRiot bnb will be mostly high Taunt, mid Battle Cry (curse), low WarCry(curse) and max Zerk. Should be safe enough to steal (Taunt) some customers to Zerk even among range BNs.

Also ready for action is MisGuided bna. Pure evil for range BNs thru Slow Missile, and lets hope Her GA flies straight and true ;p will also get low lvl Freezing Arrow as a helper and additional curse.

I will be on and off in the next few hours to take care of biz and should be able to play continuously after that.

Dunmaglas the BNB Thrower is clvl 10 at the Outer Cloister. He will use Leap to stun the monsters and push around his companions. He will try using Warcry eventually too.

ShadowBNA the Blade Fury Assassin is clvl 18 and in the Dry Hills. She will cast Cloak of Shadows to make sure than any shred of defence is absent from her companions.

May much madness ensue. :war:

[KingOfPain]

Too bad CB is going to be disco for a couple of months till he settles in.
Hawkmoon went afk a bit toooo long ;p
Shishak tired out before we got rolling.
Doc wimped out with a good excuse - bad lag and desync'd
But the 3 of us (Sys(asn), Shadow(bar) and KoP(zon)) had good fun and made it to IC. We will meet up again around 5 PST next week. And hopefully BamBam can join up in time. Woot, that would make a full game already if everyone shows

You know, you people go to bed toooo early :rolleyes: So whats a guy to do but to take GGG to NM. Who would have believe a character on this stat sheet solo'd Baal without death... Probably makes a good STSI at the LL and keep people guessing how




KoP

That looks about as pathetic as my slacker asn did when she went after baal the 1st time. Of course, lightning sentry doesn't come on equipment...

[Hawkmoon]

It wasn't my intention. Our oldest son is having a difficult time settling down in first grade, and we spent a painful time talking to his teacher, and then my inlaws about possible strategies for dealing with the problem.

Will try to get online for a pickup game later in the week. If you guys are at the Inner Cloister, then I can join you with my BNAsn (who is just starting Act 2) next week, perhaps. :D

Take care,
Hawkmoon

[KingOfPain]

Last GGG used a little less than half the stat points, so I thought I would go stats to equip only with this one. But now I am worry as GGG is nearing his power age 45-9. It is Fireball Time. When spells come free it cost mana.

KoP

[KingOfPain]

Now (still in act 4) that BruiseKnee, Naked MA, has Dragon Flight and it cost 15 mana per use I am going to have to dist some points. The 3 stat points were used to equip an eth claw Shadow found for her.






KoP

[KingOfPain]

I will be on around 4 PST

BN action probably start around 5 PST. BamBam-bnn is a go. Will most likely see a 6-8 players BN game )

Zed going to jump in anytime soon?

5ish PST okay for everyone?

D2 these days is uncertain at best, other than Sun night. Too many other irons in the fire.
