...and its awesome. I converted my level 26 barbarian (i just started him, ok? ) and went to kill diablo so i could go to act 5. Act 4 was WAY harder than before. It was really fun, and i died a few times, no big deal. We (My brother and I) get to diablo and got a nasty suprise. We hit him about 1 in 50 times. I can't count how many times we died. We would hit him once before dying, and sometimes not at all. We finally took him down after at least a half hour and neither of us could use the uber drops, which is fine. I've never gotten a useable uber drop.

We take a portal to act 5, which is in a barbarian city, get a quest and go outside. At first it wasn't too special, just more of the same plus catapults (Which shoot at you from across the zone). We finish the first quest and go to the next zone. Theres tons of little teleporting fire shooting guys. This is where it go really fun. It was difficult, but just hard enough to be fun as hell. Most of the zones after this were the same way (not with the fire flinging guys, but the same difficulty level.) I did die quite a bit from lag spikes, but other than that, it was just hard enough and fun as hell.

This has been the most fun night of Diablo 2 ever for me =)

Also, comments on the new classes. I haven't tried the druid yet, but from what I've seen of the assassin, she rocks. I played a bit with one and they're very fun.

If you're wondering if you should buy it or not, I strongly suggest that you do. Diablo was WAY too hard, but other than that, it was great.

(Is that how you wanted me to say it, Blizzard? Ok.)

Also, the new items and item types and magical effects are awesome

Charms are cool, but a bit weak (But you don't have to equip them, so thats ok)

I suppose jewels are ok, i couldnt find any good ones, and with runes i have no idea hwat order to put them in, but they're fairly powerful on their own.

The magic effects are really cool. They have abilities that give you a chance to cast a certain spell upon hitting or being hit. Frost nova is awesome when you're getting attacked by a swarm. Especially when you're a barbarian.

There are also elite items, which I haven't gotten far enough to get any of yet, but they look amazing.

Well I think Act 4 is too friggen crazy now, I have a barb with over 1k Atk & Def (basicly 95% to hit everything and 5% to be hit) and I died, multible times. That is so very wrong. It is normal for god sakes it is supposed to be easy. Grrr

Havn't even bothered to go into the sanctuary yet, I just know Lord DeSaius is going to be a hard ass mofo. So me and my friends will probably do it once we actually get the expansion.

Until then we are going to be running for nightmare fetish shamens

Stupid question: When your talking about Act 4, did they upgrade the Act 4 from the orginal Diablo 2 or is this the Act 4 in the Diablo 2 expansion?

To make evryone by the new expansion pack in a recent patch they made the game INSABLY dificult with the curent equipment in the game beciuse the equipment that us but in the game by the expansion pack is MUCH better and with it the game would be as easy as it used to be

for got to answer your question, dioblo 2 had act 1-4 expansion adds the fifth chapter

Its one HUGE act, 2 new character classes, awesome new equipment including tons of new item types (Charms, jewels, runes, crafted items, etc). The new act is really fun. There are elite (l33t!) items that are an upgrade from exceptional. Tons of new sets including class specific sets. Class specific items (In addition to the current ones).

It was well worth the 30 bucks.

Hmmmm. I'm getting the expansion after I go on my trip. I ownzor everything though. The only problem I have is that they nerfed leeching, so I couldn't infi WW EVERYTHING. I do about 400 damage average wtih WW, and that's with one hit

All my resists are in the 30. In NM. That means they're in 45.

Grammar is your enemy! - While being able to understand someone's sentences might seem like a good idea for a proper essay, complaining on a forum scarcely leaves time for such trivialities. Write fast! You're angry, grrr! Make that show, and forget about things like capital letters, punctuation, and verbs.

Actually, that is fairly low. Try to get to 40 or 50.
