What are /r/slashdiablo's favorite Products & Services?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Everytime i stumple upon something, not nowing what it is or what is worth, i use this to check if it is anything worth keeping. If you can't find your item on that list, that usually means its rubbish, or close to! But don't take it as the words of The Great Heavens itself, because prices differ a lot :)

Wow, some great stories! I'll have to give this a shot too, even though I dont think I stand a chance. Mine went slightly over 2 pages... sorry. I read too much to keep it too short.

As already mentioned below, it's 2.5 pages, I hope you find it entertaining nonetheless!

Here's my entry!

Remember Tristram

Not meant to be read as cannon. Completely ignores plot points like that of King Leoric, etc.

Bonus points since im the only one to post in the right place so far? ;)

*swatkins818

EDIT: Just modified it some to smooth the edges, and add tidbits here and there

Sounds fun, consider myself entered. Once I finish this chemistry assignment I'm working on, all my effort will go henceforth into forging a poem of epic proportions. In the one and a half pages, there will be a tale of sorrow, success, victory and defeat. Tears of joy and sadness will be shed. This comment will eventually be edited to include a link to the story/poem.

EDIT: Does it need to be a short story, or can I make it an epic poem like I had planned? It will still be a story, just in a slightly different format.

EDIT2: Account name is *MeaningOfLife . Adding it now so I don't forget.

EDIT3: Now presenting: The Battle of Tristram

I know this is probably a long shot; but I would love to take the Jah off your hands. Here's my FT list...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsC04YaVSTWydGNlSWtTYU1OZlBaa1JTM3NVRG9NZ3c

Also, I have:

Bcombat 38 life gc
shadow disc gc
5x 7mfsc

The Necromancer Tale

Let me know what you think of it. It was fun to try to write, but there's a reason I'm studying Business & IT

Well, the only reason I'd ever buy a laptop/comp for slashdia is:

I have an even older/crappier comp than an almost 20 years old game
I don't have any computer (which is kinda interesting option, but it happens)

I live in Eu, but I can look for computers, if u tell the specifics u want. Fatty's choice is good, mine is this: https://www.groupon.com/deals/gg-cm-lenovo-thinkpad-t430-14-intel-core-i5-3320m-8gb-500gb-hdd-refurbished?deal_option=f318e8a1-2f47-428e-aa74-e2e9797c6df1 HDD will slow down things in the long run, but u can buy a better storage unit later, also it's sturdy comp and t430 is a bussiness laptop iirc. It has an i5 and lots of RAM, u'll be okay for years, imo.

$10 mouse - https://www.amazon.com/VicTsing-Wireless-Portable-Receiver-Adjustable/dp/B013WC0P2A/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1528482992&sr=8-5&keywords=wireless+mouse

$290 laptop - https://www.groupon.com/deals/gs-dell-latitude-e6420-laptop-i5-2520m-8-gb-ram-128gb-ssd-refurbished?deal_option=f312a15a-30a5-423c-8e92-61c6989f39e0

If I understand this correctly.. the ban applies to programs that alter the field of view in-game and impact spells like teleport, blizzard, etc..

For those folks who want to increase the window size without impacting the balance of the game I'd suggest Borderless Gaming

Here's a compiled version of the latest update on GIT.

If you want to use it with one of the custom cfg's find this spot in the cfg.

Infravision: True, None

and add underneath it.

Remove Shake: True, None

CLSK is broken(Don't use it) in BH 1.5

You can download a testbuild

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&confirm&id=0By_Iob04SKYMNzg3Q3V1WGpWQXc

BH alvl7 which has many fixes and can use ALVL (affix level) as a condition and output.

Lines look good though.

Hijacking/Shameless self promotion:

I had started a plugin module for BH which would log the contents of your inventory/stash to a file in a (customizable) reddit friendly manner.

I never did get to finish it though as it still doesn't export set items correctly and there are some other bugs to work out, but its not too far off. Not sure if there would be interest in it or not, but I'd bet that this route would be safer than allowing kolbot (even if its just a subset of the features) on slash.

Here is a sample of the output:

Annihilus (L99)

> 14 all-stats

> 16 res-all

> 6 additional xp gain
Small Charm of Vita (L73)

> 18 Maximum Life
Captain's Grand Charm of Burning (L66)

> 3 Minimum Fire Damage

> 7 Maximum Fire Damage

> 1 Offensive Auras (Paladin)
Gheed's Fortune (L75)

> 33 mag%

> 152 gold%

> 14 reduces vendor prices
Spirit Kurast Shield (L80)[4]

>168 defense

> 100 mana

> 25 cast3

> 7 abs-mag

It tries to condense the stats and only includes those that are actually variable on set/unique/runeword.

It also supports exporting as JSON, and the final formatting relies on mustache templates to transform the json into what you see above.

27" -- Cheap Ass Amazon 4K IPS Diablo 2 Reset Special

Yeah lol.. it just loads the local timezone. This is the one I used before:

http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=20150626T22&p0=179&msg=%2Fr%2Fslashdiablo+ladder+reset%21&font=cursive

Story: Assassin's Tale

Background: This is meant to be read as an introductory chapter to a possibly longer story - I had this crazy huge idea in my head but then realized there was a 1.5 page limit. If people want, I'll write more :)

Account: *petriomelony

Well alright then.

This really is an awesome idea. I had a great time writing this! Here's the link!

Account name is sh3llingjoke

P.S.: It's 2.5 pages, couldnt keep it any shorter. Sorry

P.P.S.: I'd be glad to get feedback, even if this is not considered for the prices. Always trying to improve my english.

Shrug, I was going by the price guide. If you have low viper you'd like to give me, I'd be more than welcome to take it. :P

Apparently they are giving them away for free these days :P

Check here to see what your Lem can get you. If you can't get the wizpike for free, Lem should be enough. Look around for a 4-socket monarch shield, and Make spirit into it (the runes are stupidly easy to get, I found out I already had two entire runewords in my rune mule, and now I'm making shields for my sorc AND pally xD)

Ideally you should look for an Occy asap, but that's a bit more expensive

Chance Guards are good MFing gloves, and cheap

Arkaine's valor, or some similar armor (with +skills, or good resses, or good def, or a good combination of the three) is also quite cheap, and peasant Crowns are free (I can give you one if you don't have anything better). Don't forget you can socket your helm and chest with the first quest of act 5, and adding a PTopaz in each is already +48% MF, start looking around and you'll find plenty of rares with +MF, the nice thing about the sorc is that it doesn't need that much gear to be a killing machine, so you can focus on getting more MF.

One last thing, get a good merc. Act 2 defensive (Defiance if you want a tank, Holy freeze if you want to slow the enemies) is almost a must, there is a very cheap runeword you should give him: Insight, that will make all your mana troubles dissapear. Then, Tal's headpiece is thrown away regularly in the freebie room and will get him the life leech he needs to survive, and any good armor with decent def and resses will make him a great companion :)

And welcome to Slash! Sucks you aren't starting in our prime, though I'm glad off-season is still welcoming. We have an "event" server, hosting a custom 1.14 patch(/r/slashdiabloevents). These ladders on our sister server reset during off-season, and are likely to include rewards for upcoming /r/slashdiablo ladder. These rewards are cosmetic in-game.

edit: 1.14 resets ~~to-bloody-fucking-day~~ ~~tomorrow~~ two hours

http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=20150508T21&p0=1440&msg=Patch+1.14A+Ladder&csz=1.

Here is my "End Game" Hammerdin setup

But I started with the Budget Hammerdin Guide which you can get much of the gear for free or dirt cheap. It will let you farm Trav and Chaos relatively easily.

Just commenting on the prices typically found:

Amulet --> Mara's (Gul)

Armor --> Vipermagi (Pul/Um)

Belt --> No idea what belt is good (Depends on what you want? Goldwrap - Lem/Pul)

Boots --> War Travs (Mal/Ist)

Head --> Shako (Mal/Ist)

Weapon --> Occy (Pul/Um)

Tals:

Amulet --> (Ist)

Armor --> (Gul)

I'd help, but I dont think I can gear you for Gul. All I have from your list is:

Viper
Maras (Gul by itself)
Shako
Occy
Any belt you want

But feel free to check out my other items here

I am totally not creative, but I could use any of those prizes. So, here is my entry:

Here's my story =D, hope its good enough. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZF0MTOgqK-9VHCY2U4wgsHM1NrdRjcBQaHbFZL5mJrw/edit

I just saw this contest. I don't really know or think this story is that great, but I figured I'd do what I can to contribute. Here goes...

Ive got a respec token and a Ko rune (im 95% sure on this, can confirm in about 6.5hrs after work) but im not sure what theyre worth..

My ft/iso list is here for reference

Here's the Hammerdin on a Budget guide that I happen to be reading right now.

https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=11_wLlfxg6R65ZnJj13VXCxh-NAmVIPKlqMKefizFxA0&pli=1

Interested in you Guillaume's Face. As of now, the best offer I can give you is for PGems (or a DSummon Skiller if you're in to that sort of thing), no runes up to Lem yet (highest is Lum atm). I have no idea how many you'd even want for that (PGem wise).

Lemme know if you're interested at all, or if you'd rather hold out for the rune. I'll try and get to Hell HF before we talk to see what drops (and probably spam Hell Countess to get some levels in the mean time).

Edit: I also have a FT list, but it's about a week out of date. I'll update it when I have a chance tonight/tomorrow, and give you a link.

Edit2: Here's the list (FT and ISO on tabs at the bottom), will make a point to update it if I find anything of note.

The last guide I have bookmarked thats still up about this sort of thing is by E-How, here's the Link. There are other guides via google like THIS ONE.

I'm still trying to figure out where to place this in the guide and where I should have them uploaded, here's the 1.13D package folder with d2gfx, maphack and the patch: https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=C9512C8BBA34920C!1702&authkey=!ACcsrMaEDaOZE5A&ithint=folder%2czip

Hey, I did some digging around and I found the old tabbed_dia.exe on my harddrive, for the d2mr.dll I had to search google, did some testing and it works: DOWNLOAD

My observations:

It works with 1.13C, with 1.13D it freezes
You have to load after joining each game
No fancy names for items/indicators, only a map
WINDOWS 10 here, it required me to run in compatibility with WINDOWS 7 because of some aero assets, not sure if this would be an issue for you

Will add my conclusions to the general guide as soon as possible

Almost forgot, you have to change the path(E:\Games\Diablo 2 in tabbed.ini) to your Diablo 2 directory

Don't know what's wrong with your game. I upgraded to 1.13d myself now and tried this, it works on 1.13d, let me know if it works for you.

I don't know how stable it is though, paste the stuff in archive on top of your current maphack.

Just a little something i have been working on Price Guide

Note: this is no where near complete

Not sure if I should be posting this, but it fits your needs pretty well: https://www.g2a.com/diablo-ii-lord-of-destruction-pc-mac-cd-key-global.html Honestly, I would just torrent it though if you just plan to play on slash. It's an old, unsupported game and $20 is a ridiculously poor value.

You don’t have to install Discord to use it. If you open this link from your Computer it can launch in a browser tab instead: https://discord.com/invite/0Xeb4YQwnUVhxisY

Then you can go to the “#help-and-support” channel to get this resolved in realtime!

Smiters are great for clone kills, but javazons, blizz sorcs, fishymancers, hdins, and a few other builds can kill it with some patience. Also, there are almost always people around who will help with your clone kill if you just wait for a bit and ask nicely for help.

To be honest, given all these issues, you may want to consider using Windows either via virtualization (e.g, VirtualBox) or dual booting.

Regarding the lag; yes, generally it is, however there are many factors that can contribute. I suggest trying single-player to rule it out being a software performance bottleneck.

ya! Here is a countdown timer til reset. For USA EST it's at 1pm tomorrow.

Ya go into global settings and set a hotkey to refresh the fullscreen thing. I think by default it's F4 but I set mine to F10.

Just hit F10 eveytime you start a new game, adds barely half a sec delay.

Note, there are 2 different apps out there with very similar names. Make sure you're using "windowed borderless gaming" and not "borderless gaming". The second one blows.

Use this link: http://westechsolutions.net/sites/WindowedBorderlessGaming/WindowedBorderlessGaming_2.1.0.1.zip

replace your D2's d2gfx.dll with the one found here and you can run as many instances as you want. Just make sure your D2's shortcut has the "-w" suffix so it runs in a window.

Someone on the HC ladder (sorry for lack of props, forgot who it was!) turned me on to Sandboxie which you can use to run multiple D2 instances without modifying any files. This method is kinda involved however, I'd recommend the first option above.

Pretty sure logging on to Blizzard servers with a modified d2gfx.dll would get u banned, so be careful!

winebottler might help you out if wine itself is a bit confusing, but almost no one here will be able to answer your question sir, you'll have to be the one to do the R&D

edit a 2 second google brought up this, which you could have also done :P

Still, integrated graphic chip exists in every modern Intel CPU, mobile or desktop, so if that's your case looking for such option in advanced display settings is worth a shot. By the way, do other games run without issues? Grab GPU-Z and let's see what it says about your videochip(s) https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

just use this tool take pictures from now on xD https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/13776/windows-use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots

your os should already have it

I would totally use this if i didn't have a good leaf base

Even easier, just use the snipping tool.

open snipping tool
Select windows
Save image

~~You probably need to download that DLL and copy it to your Diablo 2 or BH folder. http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcp100 (choose Download Zip File)~~ or download and install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package

> We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.

So I used Hola (freemium VPN extension based on P2P + P2P-caching + geo-blocking, quite smart) and it works!

If you didn't it running you need to download all the files in the package and save them to the same location. Then you can use the .exe (remember to run as admin)

current offer: gul + mal

includes: 3x 4os 1k def ebugged armors, ebugged 4os 36 res st, obedience eth thresher, 3lit/74life ammy, 3x ias jewels, bo ammy and sword, unid ormus, unid gheed's, unid eschuta, unid marrowwalk, unid chancies, 101 shako, and more...

rules: runes only. highest bid after midnight on saturday night, or 5 minutes after the highest bid, whichever comes later, wins. to outbid someone, the increment has to be within 2 runes (from Ist, no lower than Um).

time left to bid

With all the profits from selling enigma sets, i was able to buy this.
