CE looking for ideas reply

Sorky:

I have always thought that the Strong Archers are OP.  Now as the new ladder starts,  MY new Sorc fully agrees with this. (my necro is just as fragile, but he has blockers to help with this).
My Sorc has died 7 times.  Once because I got surrounded and the other 6 by Archers. Archers with melee, with casters = "&*$%^$% dam stupid archers!"  This is especially bad when there are other players in the game.  Even Strong Quill Rats can 2 shot My Sorc.

You want us to multiplay, we get good experience, good chat, its fun.  But when I do, I die really fast, especially when the other players are at different levels, and we are not all in the same area.  While we help each other all the time, we don't baby sit each other because of Archers.  Multiplay is why I play CE, good community, good team play.

The Sorc has no defense against archers, literally no defense.  Unless some one Twinks us the Angelic set, We have almost zero defense, and we have (at least to my knowledge) no way to improve the defense of the items that we have.

The small light radius adds to this problem as the Archers can kill you before you even see them.
I really like the new life and mana on kill you added, but it does little good if i have to constantly drink full rejuve potions to stay alive,  I almost never see the leech effect because of the constant rejuve intake while waiting for a kill. This new laek does work great on the lower life monsters.

Having such a slow run/walk speed makes this problem worse as I can't avoid quick enough when I see an incoming missle.  I have to always be on stamina potions as when my stamina hits zero, I will probably die if in battle.

This is relating to Act 1 only as I have not yet played in Act 2


Condensed Version:  Give us some way to boost our defense, normal and against archers, especially the lower levels.  We can not gamble or find most of the good items untill we are way above the level needed to wear the item.  I never understood this reasoning in D2.  There are good items for low - mid levels, but you need to be a very high level to obtain them.  This really Promotes Twinking.  I would rather not be so dependant on high level characters for gifts, just to get decent items for my level, items that we cannot obtain ourselves when we need them.  Good Weapons are impossible to get untill you are over 80 or so, yet we need them at level 40 or so.  I am not refering to uber items, just everyday stuff.

How about a way to get some low level Barb BO to help?. A rune as I think your are suggesting, not sure, would help but we don't have a way to add sockets at low levels, later in the ladder this is not a problem.
 
Anyways it is very work intensive to stay alive as a Sorc, why not add a little more fun and survivability for the Caster Sorc.


on a personal note: Happy belated Birthday and thanks for all the hard work. I hope you have a healthy and prosperous 2013.

hi robbe

i decreased life of sorcs some time ago, as most play with manashield, but you are right in low levels its hard, cause lvl speed of sorc and so on (except you use the fool set, which is able to kill monsters easy)
there is a wrong string, as i forgot to add it...sorc shields get life not mana...
shields give dmg-to-life conversion, orb gets life after kill

but its only basicaly implemented as i need to see higher char builds how they work, if it helps, or overpowered and so on..my little tests at home showed up as useful, if you run into mana burner to keep you little bit longer alive

if you look to the char...a sorc is the most fragile person...but she is mental very strong..that way i liked to have her iomplemented...a nec is next fragile one...but yes, with his minions...

i wuill think about sorc low level and a way to only give her little bit boost for first, maybe second act...

a barb bo..can get misused, maybe i can implenent it on a sorc itm and as charges

hamil:
you do very well with a sorceress also in the beginning as long as you have t he 3 skill / resis / run items so you dont need to be afraid that she is underpowered


it just works fine.... and oft she has more problems in the beginning but endgame she is the strongest boss onehitter and can kill nearly all within one killing blow


i remember my 95 sorc she killed clone and all champs around within one zeal sequence

@Joe
So I have you to thank for making my source fragile now! /s

How about finder armor set (combination), not a green set, but white, blue or rare, that would help find better armor. This would help Single Play, persons, keep their old characters going. All my older high level guys getting hammered in all levels of Act 5. They no longer kick ass.

They could be added to drops of major opponents, not the quest end opponents.

Armor that could be reworked with runes / jewels to make them useful in all acts.

New rune words to do this?

New doll or combination of dolls to remove sockets so a different number of sockets could be crafted.

These suggestions are for single players

Yes, I'm still stuck playing by my self. At least I can play again. Got the correct drivers for video card with reinstall of windows. The old box is still to slow and slows or freezes with heavy graphics use.

In your next update of the mod could you cut back the visual effects of fire, ice and lighting. Those slow the old box way down. Ha, Ha.

Question: Does the CE Mod work on a 64 bit windows system?

Finally have a little set aside for new computer.

Thanks for all the work on the mod, Joe & guys.

BYE, bdpf, old gummy or snuffy is gone. :wece:

ChaosEmpire:
