oh and if ur looking into buying, Newegg or eBay are great places for gaming laptops/gaming rigs. You can order one without any OS installed and install it and the apps yourself, youll save ~300 bucks.
If you really got to buy a retail laptop, ask the shop to swap your Windows 8 OS license for a Windows 7 lic.
Theyll do it free of charge, and theyll most likely hand you out an OEM install/backup discs. Or download a Windows 7 copy w/ an activator at TPB
/e Now all PCs/laptops/tablets ship with Windows 8- but you can always downgrade to Windows 7. NEVER buy a software guarantee, its plain worthless. Get only basic hardware g. too. If you have a valid Windows license, Microsoft guarantees support.
...Windows 7 will run smoother with anything anyway. Windows 8 is awful as fuck. Youll get lost in the desktop screen LOL

« on: November 11, 2012, 02:48:28 AM »thanks for the info
I was looking into a new laptop and knew it would be windows 7 or 8 but mine now is vista and it runs ok so might look into what it would cost to get this one repaired
thanks
uh .. download your own OS @ thepiratebay and burn yourself a DVD copy at 4x write speed (slowburn) .. wtf would you buy anything other than online games anyway ? See for yourself, the torrents are clean 3/4 of the time
Software or hardware repairs ?
If you need HW repairs, I hope its at least a dual core with 1.5gb ram/dx9 VGA or more .. otherwise not worth the repairs pretty much. Dual P4 works good too.
If its software, just make a backup of your important files/docs, or get your harddrive copied and install a fresh OS of your choice. No hassle that way.
If its an older laptop and needs only minor repairs- dont bother with vista/7, XP is the way to go. Get your drivers before you install it though. Driver Genius is a good program for this
and goodluck

Dont buy that piece of fuck, stay away from this horrid mess guys ..
I ran it for Ladder Reset, and my D2NT loaders/D2 windows would not stop flickering, I had to switch over Windows XP in VirtualBox .. Windows XP compatibility/updates/drivers didnt do jackshit.
And can you believe this : I downloaded a windows Vista SP2 (x64) DVD copy, installed it (for the lulz) on my PC as my main OS- and it actually runs FASTER than Windows 8 ! I think Ill keep it, I mean, for my specs it runs on par, or even faster than Windows 7 x64- with almost the same software.
And besides, I couldnt even activate that piece of junk. I tried serials, activators, KMS servers, timebombs, etc. etc.-- Stick with Windows 7/XP guys, at best - windows Vista is better than that trainwreck - as Gabe Newell (CEO of Valve) said: "Windows 8 Is Kind of a Catastrophe" - back in July.
^When Vista > 8, you gotta FAIL. Im not joking you guys, Windows NT/2000 would run better with tweaked drivers than retail Windows 8. Just a warning NOT to touch nor look at the cover of this catastrophe of A$$. Goodluck - Hope every1 had a Good Diablo II reset btw. - I totally choked this one thanks to MicroSUX Windows EGGS.

General Discussion / [Diablo II] Ladder reset HACKS & GUIDES
« on: November 06, 2012, 02:43:40 PM »
Hello, I came late for this one .. but I hope youll like it
##[D2NT] maphack setup##
You need a D2NT bot for this, I used this one : http://workspace.projectetal.com/User%20Space/fatboi615/D2MB-update%204-10-12.rar -- the password is BOTTRONICS.INC
1. In your D2NT manager, make a new profile, set its entry point to NTMap.ntj. Set the profile like a normal bot.
2. Go to your bot's folder, open the folders /scripts/NTMap/char_configs
3. Open the character class file (in the char_configs folder, of NTMap) that you will be using as your player (for Maphack)
4. Set the options as you want. *I recommend disabling chicken, most likely you want to use RedVex for it
** DO NOT USE ETAL WITH THIS, PICK UP A REGULAR D2NT- otherwise youll have to configure your characters for play in /scripts/ntbot/char_configs .. if u know what youre doing it works fine
##[RedVex] plugins##
-First off, you need RedVex for this. There are many plugins you can use for ladder reset.
Download RedVex : http://rapidshare.com/files/202068496/Redvex_3.0.1_11-28-07.zip
^RedVex setup guide : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqjAoOs0ox4
^RedVex realm locker : http://workspace.projectetal.com/User%20Space/fatboi615/RealmLock.zip
^RedVex documentation -- in german, use google translate : http://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/blogs/394966-lanara/6230-diablo-2-redvex.html
And now, for the cake- there is Automaton, a followbot for RedVex.
Download Automaton plugin : http://multanis.cwsurf.de/Automaton.zip
^Here is a decent guide : in German tho, use google translate http://www.elitepvpers.com/forum/blogs/394966-lanara/6449-diablo-2-followbot.html
For automaton, I suggest you make folders for level1, 6, 12, 18, 24 and 30 characters as you must change your followbots' config everytime you want to change skills/attack sequence.
--Automaton tips --
To reload config, order "chill" then order "follow" - tis way no need to quit & rejoin.
To make them enter TP while leader in town, order "guard" and order "1" - tis way they go in TP first, and u then close the TP
Its good to shop and reload cfg after every act (middle of act2, for drognan), to be sure they dont get stuck.
general : When killing boss, make SURE to be filled of potions, TPs, build skills and resurrect mercs. Use ".shop" for this.
##Now here is a list of good plugins to use for ladder reset, but I didnt publish them since im late. Visit the german documentation page to use these plugins
**heres a download mirror for these RedVex plugins - http://bhfiles.com/files/Diablo%20II/1.12a/RedVex/Plugins/**
-FastMod 2.1- speedhack, open fastmod.ini (in your RV folder) and set everything EXCEPT walk speed to 200
-Condom- Chicken, autoaim, antispam, antiflash plugin - make sure to use antiflash with your automatons!!
-Magnet- Optional, but very useful pickit, if youre using sorceresses with Tele. Otherwise turn pick off, and it will display dropped items (manual pickup, still useful if u miss items as you walk)
-GameName- Shows your last joined game, and estimated next game (CnB, etc. Everything with numbers)
-Automaton- For obvious reasons, lol.

General Discussion / [Diablo II] Char builds for reset + tips!
« on: October 28, 2012, 05:04:42 PM »
now is time to configure our chars for reset !!
##hope u know how to play diablo 2 in single player .. it saves the pain in the ass, but if u dont, i pray u will play the game with friends or urself beforehand ... do not be ashamed, i am rusty as hell using bots all the time xD##
this should be the core of a good group, no matter what u will be playing (really good for hardcore)
U will want a group that synergies together, with stuff that boosts the damage/life/skills/gameplay of eachother.
for this strategy, i will use the builds people are more common with, are cheap and extremely effective in hellmode -
it is up to you to change them or make a totally different setup but this is for beginners (like me)
**i will post guides at end of topic**
##########
Number1: HAMMERDin ^_^ This nigga can tank, heal in a heartbeat, charge and fuck everything up. Clearly the favorite as the party leader - using maxblock and salvation for souls (but 50% block is decent enough to be worth it.)
Skills
Combat Skills
Smite - 1
Holy Bolt - 1
Charge - 1
Blessed Hammer - 20 (primary attack skill)
try to max this out first
Holy Shield - 20
should be maxxed out last
Offensive Auras
Might - 1
Blessed Aim - 20
max after Vigor
Concentration - 20 (primary aura)
max after Blessed Hammer
Defensive Auras
Prayer - 1
Cleansing - 1
Defiance - 1
Vigor - 20
max after Concentration
Redemption - 1
use to regenerate life/mana until Holy Shield is maxxed out
Salvation - 1
useful for parties. Put a point after maxxing out Holy Shield and putting a point in Redemption.
Stats
Strength - Just enough to wear all the equipment (i use +110)
Dexterity - Just enough for max block w/ your shield (pump this after Holy Shield is cast!!!)
Vitality - Any and all the points you can spare
Energy - Base or 50 pts.
With this build u will use hammer/conc aura as ur main attack, use charge/redemption on ur wep. switch to heal over corpses. Use meditation aura till u get an insight - u can use cleansing in hell. Use vigor when youre out running.
##
Number 2: Summon mancer: This is the ultimate tanker (not him, his skellies lol). Can walk hell naked - No need for block or gear at ALL! Rips through mobs like butter with a well summoned army. Best used for MF gear.
Skills
Summoning Skills
Raise Skeleton- 20 (primary summon skill)
max this first
Skeleton Mastery - 20 (booster to skeletons)
second to max
Clay Golem- 1
Skeleton Magi - 20 (secondary summon skill)
third to max
Golem Mastery - 1-x (booster to golem)
1pt or remaining skill pts. or CE
Summon resist - 1
Needs this for DiabloQ
Fire golem (tank for mobs)
Max this last
PnB Skills
Teeth - 1
Corpse Explosion - 1-x (primary attack skill)
1pt or remaining skill pts. or GM
Curses Skills
Amplify Damage - 1 (primary aura)
Used for skellies/party dmg.
Dim Vision - 1
Used against souls/dangerous mobs
Confuse - 1
Attract - 1
Use this to build army/decoy
Weaken - 1
Terror - 1
Decrepify - 1 (secondary aura)
Used against bosses/tough packs
Stats
Strength - Just enough to wear all the equipment (i use +70)
Dexterity - None or 35
Vitality - Any and all the points you can spare
Energy - Base or 50 pts.
This is the best solo character ever. Sorcs/weak characters absolutely like him. Summon ur pack of skellies at cold plains. Use attract curse to start a battle. Use amp damage and corpse explosion as ur main attack.
##
Number three: Orballer sorceress - this is the smexy babe. Put an insight on her merc as soon as u get one. She will TP 10x faster. Use prayer (norm. combat) merc to double heal.
Skills
Cold Skills
Ice Bolt - 15 (synergy to orb)
good to stack early on
Frozen Armor - 1
Shiver Armor - 1
ur main precast
Ice Blast - 1
Frost Nova - 1
Glacial Spike - 1
Blizzard - 1
can be used till orb
Frozen Orb - 20 (primary spell)
main damage boosted w/ IB.
Cold Mastery - x-12 (main booster)
put any amount to reach -100% w/ gear
Light Skills
Static Field - 1
use for bosses
Telekinesis - 1
Teleport - 5 (main utility)

1pt or all remaining pts.
Stats
Strength - Just enough to wear all the equipment (i use +70)
Dexterity - None
Vitality - Any and all the points you can spare
Energy - Base or 50 pts.
This build is the greatest magic find bot build you can do at reset. In anycase, you need a sorc to TP for you across the game.
##########
:^That is the core of a team that synergies pretty well: you have massive magical/elemental/physical damage, using skeletons for meatshield/maxblock tanking, great auras/healing/resists - u will run over everything like a greyhound bus!
These are the top builds to solo the game, they are just extra useful for botting/party play. If u have suggestions post them here. Otherwise you can use any of these builds to play solo/join parties and ur help will be appreciated.
TIPS :
After you are done rushing, here is a couple of things u can do to amass wealth/FG$$ - preferably lvl85..
Do private chaos runs with your pala hammer, use your necro/ask friend to leech them (helper) and sell spots on D2JSP (works best in 1st week) - you can run them manually and -if you have a helper- u need next to no gear to run them. $PROFIT$: if you have decent gear : also do travincal runs if possible, HR's can drop quite often (20-50 games)
Do pits/pindle/shenk+eldritch/baal runs with your necromancer - do this in 1player games and baalrunning is fairly easy - start from WSK lvl2 and clear the whole thing down from there. Baalwaves get owned with CE. Rince & repeat.
Do rushes/MF runs with your sorceress, a rush usually is 100fg per person in the 1st 2weeks on D2JSP, running andy/meph/Pindle/Shenk+eldritch/Tresh/LowerKurast(chests) is a very good set of MF runs.
Being naked, you will have to carefully adjust your stats/skills.
A good stat layout for most classes is this :
Strenght - 70 (total pts)
Dex - base or nuff for maxblock
Vita - All rest
Energy - base or 50 pts. <- work on this early for ur spells!
I suggest you read some good guides/do research/play around ur builds. - Just ignore the parts about gear, and use what you find, really. What matters-if u are a caster, is ur skills/mana. If u are melee- dex/damage is ur priority.
Here are the guides I have used :
pala hammer - http://www.diablowiki.com/Hammerdin_by_Hnk
summon necro - http://www.diablowiki.com/Summoner/Magic_Find_Necromancer_by_lMarcusl
orb-aller sorc - http://www.theamazonbasin.com/d2/forums/index.php?showtopic=80618&st=0

This build is the greatest magic find bot build you can do at reset. In anycase, you need a sorc to TP for you across the game.
##########
:^That is the core of a team that synergies pretty well: you have massive magical/elemental/physical damage, using skeletons for meatshield/maxblock tanking, great auras/healing/resists - u will run over everything like a greyhound bus!
These are the top builds to solo the game, they are just extra useful for botting/party play. If u have suggestions post them here. Otherwise you can use any of these builds to play solo/join parties and ur help will be appreciated.
TIPS :
After you are done rushing, here is a couple of things u can do to amass wealth/FG$$ - preferably lvl85..
Do private chaos runs with your pala hammer, use your necro/ask friend to leech them (helper) and sell spots on D2JSP (works best in 1st week) - you can run them manually and -if you have a helper- u need next to no gear to run them. $PROFIT$: if you have decent gear : also do travincal runs if possible, HR's can drop quite often (20-50 games)
Do pits/pindle/shenk+eldritch/baal runs with your necromancer - do this in 1player games and baalrunning is fairly easy - start from WSK lvl2 and clear the whole thing down from there. Baalwaves get owned with CE. Rince & repeat.
Do rushes/MF runs with your sorceress, a rush usually is 100fg per person in the 1st 2weeks on D2JSP, running andy/meph/Pindle/Shenk+eldritch/Tresh/LowerKurast(chests) is a very good set of MF runs.
Being naked, you will have to carefully adjust your stats/skills.
A good stat layout for most classes is this :
Strenght - 70 (total pts)
Dex - base or nuff for maxblock
Vita - All rest
Energy - base or 50 pts. <- work on this early for ur spells!
I suggest you read some good guides/do research/play around ur builds. - Just ignore the parts about gear, and use what you find, really. What matters-if u are a caster, is ur skills/mana. If u are melee- dex/damage is ur priority.
Here are the guides I have used :
pala hammer - http://www.diablowiki.com/Hammerdin_by_Hnk
summon necro - http://www.diablowiki.com/Summoner/Magic_Find_Necromancer_by_lMarcusl

General Discussion / [Diablo II] Ladder reset strategies
« on: October 28, 2012, 11:19:37 AM »
Just going for it is not the appropriate thing! preparation is half the work of this. I am assuming here that everyone has RedVex and D2NTmaphack to pick up the pace.
you can download them here .. i will post a topic just for the sake of hacks . but for now, lets do the strategy/guides as it is vital for our reset, whether u play legit or not (hacks are for the sake of time/easyness.)
Leveling strategy: It has been shown over the years shown that this tactic has proven successful.
1-3 Blood Moor to Cold plains (DenQ)
4-6 Stony field to Black Marsh (skp countess if u wish)
7-10 Tamoe highlands to inner Monastery
11-14 barracks to Catacombs (andyQ)
15-18 sewers to Viper Temple (radaQ + staffQ)
19-20 Arcane Sanctuary to Tal Rasha's tomb (duriQ)
20-25 Travincal/Meph runs (rince and repeat)
25-30 Chaos & bloody runs (diablo-shenk areas)
30-40 Baal runs (baalQ at the end)
##if u missed exp at this stage, do tombruns (lvl15-20, lvl24 could work but travs' way faster)##
--------------
the big issue is u will need a Sorc Lvl 18 (teleport) to rush, as she is going to makes tp's to level in those places. I suggest autotele for this one (will post l8ter). normal is done by lvl40 for good NM rush. Takes about 2 and half hours.
--------------
Nightmare should go faster. We have then a Sorc that can equip us, rushing the whole thing with tele - make sure to get insight by act1 countessQ - u will turn crazy without it!!
Max time to spend is 2 hrs on NM. i.e. - to go under 30 mins for "act4 diablo" and "NMbaal quest" - thats if u play pubs.
for party play - NM is broke dow like this:
(Diff-Act-Level)
Nightmare - Act 1: 40
Nightmare - Act 2: 40
Nightmare - Act 3: 40
Nightmare - Act 4: 45-50
Nightmare - Act 5: 45 -> 65-70
--------------
I use this strat with a skellie nec. to block mobs and a pala with convict aura to bring our Sorcs to tear down everything without problems. skeletons are used for meatshield to protect our sorcs/tank bosses. maxblock pala can tank too. u will most likely need these chars to beat hell quickly. talk about tis later.
--------------
##It is highly recommended to enter hell difficulty by lvl70 to rush thru the whole thing, but if u are inbetween lvl 65-70, u can do pit runs/extra quests n ull do just fine. level 50 is way too low for this.##
In Hell is the crack point -Travincal!- once Travi's is killed there is NOTHING standing in the way (not even diablo!!).
We are going to make diabloQ at lvl ~ 70 and then we take off directly to baalruns by lvl ~ 80
--------------
we have all this rush done in about 5 hours, and thats it - youve beaten the game !!^_ ^
by then, everyone has a bot capable char! <- That should be our goal!
i highly suggest the use of D2jsp for this, to regroup friends/people and to make riches$$/ USEFUL for Chaos/Baal runs once ur done rushing cuz thers not many people running public games in first week !!!
###########################################################################
this will work good only with a party of 6+ chars (EXP lvls and gear drops much btter..)
if u are a lonely person, try hooking up with JSP'ers/friends for a party, and make sure every1 knows how to play the game /or is using hacks and is available.
but i dont need this since i use automaton for redvex ( i will post it later)
i will post strats for my characters, and i will list/post the hacks i have used for this.
if you play solo or u got a better approach/suggestions, post them down here.. im all ears !
