reformat hard drive, saved characters to disk, what's next?

by Shades

Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can restore my saved characters in Diablo after reformatting my hard drive?

I've used Diablo Backup and Bobafett and neither work. Any ideas???

Thanks,

Shades

Just asking

by PePPeN

I hear everybody whining about a book of Apoc... but i bought one from adria recently..

I also bought a sifu's crossbow and a champions long battle bow of slaughter from wirt

I think they're pretty cool but is it anything significant compared to other/unique items in the mod? I got a L31 rogue though i'm quite new still.

Feel lucky

by Tybolt

The only time ive heard on here of an apoc book is when diablo himself drops it(someone said somthing about how only he drops them) So if you got it from adria consider yourself pretty damn lucky.

I found book of apoc

It was on Nightmare, lvl 16. Off a unique mob who looked like leoric (but ran and hit a whole hell of a lot harder!)

so now I have to lvl it up...160 mana per cast... ouch.

The Char classes are unbalanced

by Tybolt

I first would like to say that Abysmal is a really cool mod and it opens diablo up for more gameplay. However the char classes seem a bit unbalanced for instance the warrior he has the damage and str but not the dex a dex of 55 isnt going to cut it for a warrior why not give him shit. And on that note the mage needs just alittle higher str. I mean yeah I do fine with 20 str but my ac blows and if 3 archers shoot me I cant fucking cast my spells there for what good the 115 instead of the mage? I mean wtf is a mage doing fighting with a staff? I mean he has spells and therefor he shouldnt need to hit jack is being a mage if you cant do what he was made to do....CAST SPELLS! Now the rogue she dosnt even have anough Vit. or Mag. First she needs hp to live and a higher magic so she can have mana sheild so it will add yet more hp. She dosnt even do anough damage with her shitty hp so why not raise it? I beleave that the mod should be changed just alittle so that the warrior can actually hit somthing with his damage I mean a warrior with no capability to hit somthing just fucking sucks. A mage who cant cast spells is pointless and just a hassle to live and the Rogue cant even live long anough to do any fucking damage because she dosnt have the hp. Sure I really like abysmal ive had diablo for about 4 years and the mod adds new meaning to the game but whats the point if you cant do anything with any of the chars? Well that is my complaint if you dont like it go to hell. One last thing and then im done I promise. If I didnt spell things right dont bash me and if you do ill fucking pk you with my reg diablo mage. Thanks for your time.

ok..

by PSY

Who said the mod is meant to be easy?, mod is being played due to the fact that norm diablo is too easy, if all ur change is implemented the game would be too easy and it will be boring like norm diablo.. so whats ur point?

oh and if u r getting hit by enough arrows to stunlock u.. then ur skill needs a little work... welcome to the abysmal world Tybolt

erm ok, concerning eash class u brought up:

Warrior: give him more dex will make the game BORING AS HELL, period

rogue: hmm well if u play the game right u SHOULD NOT be pumping ANYTHING into vitality ANYWAY so why does it MATTER?.. most of ur points should go to DEX.. if u want hp go buy a helm of wolf from gris or something..... and once rogue gets mana shield, VIT is irrelevant anyway...
oh, for the MAG bit... if u raise it.. so what.. u want a rogue can easily reach 255 mag with a few rings? now thats called BORING if rogue can also achieve level 15 spells by reading books..... think about it..

Mage: keep on finding in normal hell and even tually u should come across a unique ring that gives 50 to all and 2 to spell levels, once u get a couple of those, then complain to me how WEAK the mage is (20 + 100 str = 120 str = easily wear full plate)...... but for now.. i think u can just shut ur foul mouth up a little...play more and u should enjoy more

oh and if u find urself die too often coz of stunlock or getting swarmed... i suggest u go back to norm diablo and tone ur skills up a little... abysmal isnt for weenies

I understand but still..

by Tybolt

First off im no weenie I beleave that reg diablo is way to easy and that abysmal makes it alot harder but some aspects are still lacking. You cant tell me that just pumping dex into a rogue will make a good rogue. You have to have hp in the game to last at all and you cant tell me thats not true. As for the issue of my "skills" there fine ive played diablo for 4 years dont even try to tell me that I dont have them or they need work.
I just think that things should be tweaked some.The warrior aspect with the dex was just the fact that his to hit ratio is just to low, why have the damage if you cant hit? Ive noticed that even if he could hit abysmal would still pose a challenge and it wouldnt lose any fun at all.
The point with my mage is he dosnt have the ac for archers. I play diablo just fine thank you but there is always a point where you get stuck and no one can tell me thats not true none of you are perfect at all. I just think that the warrior should have higher dex not by much but enough to make it so he can actually hit. A mage should have the str to at least wear chainmail just for a bit of better ac because what mage is going to wear str rings and amulets? Personaly my mage has magic rings and amulets. The rogue aspect was just make it so she can have some more hp shes not going to live with dex if melee fighters get close to her.
You will have to excuse the rudeness of my last post it was 2:30am and I was in a hurry. No offence to any of you.
I enjoy abysmal very much for the fact that it is alot harder and I think that it is a very good mod but like I said some things are lacking.

Thank you for your time once again

Hmm.. What?

by (((NAJ)))Abys

I don't know very much about the warrior or the rogue, but archers do not pose serious threats to me. Why? Because I don't play alone very much. I usually play with my warrior freind and we go around bashing things to hell. You can play the Co-Op mage. And if you still have problems, try and get a book of golem. Archers like shooting at him more than me for some reason. See ya.

Same

by =will=(abys)

I'm a mage as well and archers are the least of my worries...
I've only got about 50 ac, (i could get it to 250 but i'd loose other stuff) and archers are piss easy. Pop round a corner, fire a few shots, pop back. Easy. They can't hit you, so they can't stunlock you. If there a bit tougher, i use stone curse. I play on my own a lot and a rarely have any problems. I think the only thing i'd even think about changing with the stats, is mages should start with about 5 more vit and 5 less magic or something like that. It's hard when you die with two hits :(

Also, I started a new rogue and it's doing fine. Level 18 and it's all good. High dex=Never miss=stunlock the enemy=win the game
or if they don't stunlock, just stay back. Your long range remember. (they don't have to be on the screen)

True

by Tybolt

After playing my mage more today I found some more spells like Nova, lighting bolt and I now have a way higher fireball. I beleave that was my problem with my mage is his spells were shit. I recently found a ring of the gods 21 to all and that helps some as well. My main concern was that the warrior should have just a bit more dex I rarely play a rogue im more of a mage person myself.
I play a warrior off and on and it just seems like I have the damage just not a good to hit ratio. And the thing with the golem is mine is only like lvl 3 now(ive rarely found any books of it)So those archers shoot a few at it and its dead. I also know that im ranged and that I dont have to be on screen but sometimes its just a pisser to be playing and get stunlocked then have to start over or die(your choice there).
For the most part I play alone(dont know any other abysmal players online)and that could also be a problem I mean not everyone's mage is going to be the same. Playing alone as a mage does get annoying at times but it also has its good points. For the fact that shooting your team mate with a nova spell over and over can make them quite angry or upset.
I do agree on the vit for the mage sadly when I started out I missed the recharge stave ability and only being hit twice or even once got annoying after awhile. I died my share when starting a new mage it was a pain to play alone then one you didnt have the money for mana and you couldt really buy new spells at lvl 1 unless your just god damn lucky.
But all in all after I found some more items things tend to go better. That was my problem I just wasnt finding anything good at all.
If any of you find any good mage items that you dont need and are just going to sell let me know im sure I can find somthing to trade for them.

hm

by PSY

Well, thats what Mithril rings (+40-60 to hit) is for isnt it... incresing dex will inprove the blocking %.. and if thats perfected.. the game is boring

i am usually on bnet at around 2-4am bnet time.. and usually in game abys/abys or abysmal/abysmal or abys2/abys2 or something... as for channels... try beginners only.. its where most guys go

i use -psy(number) where 4 is warrior, 2 is rogue, and 5 is mage, and i'd love to help u or give u a game or 2

yeah for co op purposes.. nova is crap

rogue dun really need much hp...the initial vit + the 2 hp per level bonus is more than enough to survive until she gets enough mana for mana shield... if u r getting hurt too much.. try walk slower and use corners more

as for mage vs ranged.... if they chase u.. then use a corner where they will line up to shoot u, and most will be shot into the wall,

if they dun move.. then walk out, spiff a fire wall or some guardians in front of them, then hide again, repeat.

as for warriors, use firewalls.....thats how i survived

keep ur eyes open for niblounges ring

it gives 50 to all, 2 to spell levels, -75 mana, -50 life, + 40 light andf +15 damage from enemies, but a mage with high spell level and high mmana doesnt get troubleed that much by the + damage (my mage is wearing 2 of them)

hope that helped

~Tybolt~

The only good rings ive found were ring of zode 16 to all and a god ring 21 to all thats it. As for armor I have najis light plate and a helm that does 11 to all. then I have a sheild 15 to all and a saber that does 17 to mag. Thats what my mage has. I have yet to find anything better yet I know there is some.
In a co-op game even my fireballs hurt people so most of the time I play alone and that could be my problem as in why im geting hit so much. Ill keep my eye out for those rings you were talking about. They are good for a mage right?

Anyways Some of the people here got really pissed over nothing and I found that rather odd.

I swear it doesnt work all my spells are currently on level 23 with 311 ac...if i shoot(fireball) close to anyone, they die 1000 to 2000 damage kills everything so how do i solve this?

That's some fireball...

by =will=(abys)

That's some fireball you've got there...
Mines lv 19 and it doesn't do nearly as much as that! Max dam is around 980 i think. So that's a hell of a fireball. Just tell people to stand back. Anyway, they should have good resistance. I've got max resistance for everything.

By the way, does 'all your spells' include Apoc? Because I'm lv 36, I can clear hell/hell on my own without to much trouble, but i've never found a book of Apoc.

Tybolt have you ever even played as a warrior? If you have you would not be whining about the dexterity...if you place all points into dex until maxed right away (it only takes like 7 or 8 lvls) then the 70+ to hit you have will be fine for the church +cats....why do you think they put + to hit prefixes on weapons???? For exactly the reason you're whining about...so before you come in here shooting your mouth off...i suggest actually lifting up a sword and giving it a shot.

Yes I have

by Tybolt

First off yes I have played a warrior and I have given it a try. Personaly I like a mage I was just stating the fact that the warrior has a low dex and it should be way higher then the mage
What is a mage going to do with 115dex? I just simply said(or in a long way)Just switch the two around. For me and my friends we hardly find any thing that is good with a + to hit. Its usualy just a ring or somthing plain when infact we need a double thing like a + to hit and plus to str. But I rarely find anything like that.
I also have the right to state my oppinion and if you dont like it go to hell. Ive played the game for 4 years and in that time wouldnt you think I would of played a warrior or are you just to stupid to see that fact?
Simply stating thats all

calm it down

by PSY

115 dex for warrior is OVERPOWERED

thats nearly a PERFECT BLOCKING without any dex modifiers

go figure.... that will make the game too easy

55 is about right give the fact there is sifu's(170-180% to hit 170-180% damage) and spectacular (160-200% to hit), only buyable from wirt.. so check him every game.

the problem is not to hit, its the blocking percentage, if dex is higher, then perfect blocking will be achievable easier and that will make a warrior too strong in melee

hope u see why here

This doesn't seem right...

by =will=(abys)

If you reckon there's something bad about all of the classes. It doesn't mean they are unbalanced. None of they are by far better than the others. All you've said is they all have weaknesses. And to that i say 'No shit!¿'. Of course they have weaknesses, they wouldn't have 3 classes if they were all perfect, would they? No...
Anyway, these problems are very easy to overcome. Just learn how to play the game. This isn't just 3 different ways to kill every monster you see instantly. This is three different playing styles. It seems you can't use any of them. In which there's a 4th style. Hack the stats so you can have your "balanced" character. Nice one...

This is funny

by Tybolt

Its funny to watch you all get so defensive over the game. First im legit hacking ruins the game and you all know that. I never once said that each should be perfect for if they were then the game would have no meaning. I was just saying that some stats should either be raised by 5 or 10 or switched between the chars. Please will someone tell me the point of the mage having a 115 dex? He seriously dosnt need it.
If you guys dont understand what im saying then you all need some help. The mod is cool and hard and I like it for that. But as always nothing is perfect and the mod lacks some things and I think that some people(other then all of you)Agree with me on that matter. Some stats should either be switched or raised some not alot just some. You guys make it seem like I want the chars to be god and thats not at all what im saying.
The only char that is truly balanced in the game right now is the mage.
So to all of you who found my post offensive you need to relax and calm down and not take things so wrong. You dont have to act like your a fucking girl pmsing. Thats what you all act like from what ive seen.
Thank you once again. I think you all need to just calm down a bit and see what im trying to say.

Why so much Dex..

by Bobo

Dex id important to the mage. It will help raise the "low" ac you were whining about. I have maybe 85 ac and i do fine. If you max your dex, then get some half decent armor, problem solved.

i think the point he(tybolt) trying to get across is that the game should be EASIER

but look.. its as easy as it is already for a mod thats meant to make the game HARD..just have to have some patience and find the right items(which i think are overpowered)....a warrior can solo hell/hell without too much difficulty

i'd rather it to be HARDER.. but i am not getting it...

Ugh none of you understand

by Tybolt

For the last time I like the game hard. I was not awear that dex made a hit black ratio thing you said. My point that all you cant seem to grasp was that the warrior should have atleast a 5 to 10 dex increas not even that would make the game easy.
I like the game hard like I said before it gives new meaning to diablo and actually makes it fun again. You all take things the wrong way and look at it as if im trying to get it to be easier
and im not. So why dont all of you calm down? The game was ment to be hard and I know this but I think the warrior deserves a better dex.
And another note I play a mage most of the time so just forget the warrior thing. Ive fixed my mage problem with higher lvl spells and venturing to hell alone in a nightmare game isnt always a great idea when you dont have much for items. I appricate all your time that you have given me but I do wish that you would stop saying I want it easier. If I wanted an easy game id play diablo all over again now wouldnt I?

giving warriors extra dex WILL make the game EASIER, right?

even if its only as little as 5 or 10 points, it would still make the game easier, correct?

i understand what u mean though by saying warriors DESERVE better dex AS A CHARACTER, but its all for balancing reasons.. think tommi did some good calculatiuons before assigning the final values, so...thats that

I see your logic

by Yaeshua~A+A

it does hold up but I am willing to sacrifice alot for damage even at the cost of ac, mana etc. Agreed that damage without reasonable to hit is screwed though I am still in Normal Hell ,until I find better armour yet again.
Im using a Flameshield & alongside my Obsidian/Mammoth ancient helm I have all the resist I need, I think once a better plate is aquired that gives greater ac then I will move onto the Nightmare Hell levels.
The other thing is I like 2 experiment with various item set ups, for exmaple if I see an all ranged/magic user level I drop my plate & use DayScape as it gives an additional 10-15 firehit dmg or so.
Sadly I lost my Mithril of Perfection ring, I have a Mithril/Tiger ring but it just inst the same is it.

yup mith dex is heaps better... adds to b;locking % and to hit...

personally, i do not think u should not move into barbaric swords unless u have got at least 1 or 2 mith dex or mith to alls, actually u wwill NEVER be able to get enough for hell/hell if u use barbaric sword, u can BARELY reach the required to hit if u have 3 near perfect mith/dex or mith/toall jewels.. due to the fact barbaroc sword takes away ur to hit...

Battle Bow ... thats a very nasty Bow

Spectacular Scimatar of Slaughter .. wirt made me clear all but the first 2 dungeon levels to afford it, I had tons of money but lost it due 2 a crash.

Not bad eh ? Any possible chance you have a simple ring of the dark ? -40 light ? I can go Stealth mode with my Gotter/MoonAxe but Id like 2 try something else. I have a BoneCrusher in my possesion & a Shield would make up for the serious lack of ac resulting from using the Beserk's plate.

well.. berserks plate is not worth the trade off.. unless maybe u r having fun with a entire level of ranged attackers... but melee guys will own u if u have it on....

battlebow pretty much only good for duels.. rogues dun need the to hit% and the good base damage isnt that good... a massive bow of swiftness would be better than it in the case of monsters...

but alors prayer = excellent ammy for warriors/non-ms rogues

gotter = kickass until u can find something better

oh yeah, stealth in h/h with a resist less than 60 can result in a laz fireball kill easily

Can you change the abysmal mod to suit your own ends?

by Cocoamo

The title says it all.

A friend and I were wondering if it was at all possible to change the abysmal mod by changing the DATAABYS.TXT. It seems to have all of the things required in a data file.

I specifically tried to change the warriors max dex, because I feel it should be higher than 55 IMHO.

It would be greatly appretiated (SP?), if someone would tell me how to change it, stats, monsters and things.

For instance, wouldn't it be insanely fun to make an Iron man only version of abysmal? Where the monsters drop nothing but magical items? and changing the difficulty so it would be throretically possable to beat diablo, without going to town?

Tommi Helminen, if you dont want the information to be given out, delete this post, I wont bother any of you again.

This is a large request, I know. Please dont dismiss me out of hand, just because Im new here. I used to frequent boards such as these, and I know how clickish(lol I cant remember how to spell the word, I spelled it how it sounds, sorry, but I dont have a dictonary handy =-p)

If anyone answers this, thank you for your time. Also, thank your Mr. Helminen, You have made an excellent mod. I got it only recently, and I am enjoying playing it.

well...

by =will=(abys)

I don't really think you should change the mod. If your playing on your modifided mod and everyone else is playing normal Abysmal it won't work properly. Anyway, it would sort of be cheating to just crank up the max dex for warriors the the like. The max str for mages is only 20 but i get by.

But if it's just for single player you should look for the program Tommi used to make it with.

Perhaps Hellfire Abysmal should be abandoned ?

by Yaeshua~A+A

I havent been following the Diablo II beta 2 a great extent but if I recall the 1000 beta tester period may finish before a month is over ? If that is true then the open beta commences...as cool as I imagine the Helfire Abysmal version 2 be, it is unlikely I would play it over Diablo II beta.
Just throwing this out there, Tommi your work is already greatly appreciated ( I wasnt playing Diablo until I was aware of bout Abysmal , because Diablo is just so old but your additional innovations were excellent ) & obviously you have numerous obligations to regard which naturally take priority.
Once again thanks for the patch,forum & community ( if somewhat small at the current time )... anyone that wants to play with me in Diablo II well naturally my Paladin will be called Yaeshua~A+A but also I'll have a Necromancer called Ashlerock.Oh not a good bye post just giving out the details now.

3d Card for D2

by (((NAJ)))Abys

You guys are good gamers I expect, so I was wondering where online to get a good 3d card under $60. It would help to play the upcoming D2.

Any Ideas?

Hmmm.. I know a place you can TRY

by Bobo

But i DOUBT you can find one for under $60. Go to:
http://www.3dfx.com I think a voodoo 2 or three would suit your needs, or, if you have the cash, shop around for a GeForce. You might be able to find one cheap at http://www.ebay.com Just a suggestion..

Abysmal Player Locations

by Yaeshua~A+A

On Bnet I find that the Black Lodge (l30+) has a significant number of Abysmal players or you can always try either abys/abys , abysmal/abysmal as game name/password 2 see if any Abysmal games are running.
Aside from that there is ( considering numbers ) quite a few Abysmal players on the local Australian server,which if you are interested in you can get the ip connector at www.aus-1.au.nu It is likely though that if your outside of Australia that you may just lag...unsure but you get 2 walk a mile in our ( Australians ) shoes & see just why we have a local server detached from Bnet.
