Iron Maiden

Wasn't Iron Maiden removed?

Asking this because of the following image of my sin in chaos on HC normal.



Or am I mistaking that for a completely different curse?|||That curse looks like Weaken to me. IM looks similar but is smaller, there's more of them and they're orange.|||That's definitely Weaken, not Iron Maiden: Iron Maiden's graphic is much smaller and thorn-like, whereas that of Weaken looks more like a glowing tadpole.|||iron maiden was dark orange almost red also and yeah 2 times smaller then that curse lol|||Ok, I just remembered it looked similar as I almost exclusively played sorcs before and any of my melee characters 1 hit themselves before I could see it :P|||Sorry that's weaken.

temp banned....again. sigh

OK,

so in the past 4 days, I've been temp banned about 5 times. The first time, I had joined my FIRST game after logging in, was int he game for 10 minutes, left, and all of a sudden I got banned. WTF? The other times I was muling...

This last time was about 12 hours ago, and I'm still banned. I am always very careful about waiting several seconds before logging out/in, joining/leaving games, etc. But its apparent that blizz has really stepped it up.

This is really getting out of hand. It's actually starting to piss me off. I understand that blizz doesn't want bots running around their precious battle.net cause heaven forbid 3rd party sites will make money. GUESS WHAT BLIZZARD, THE BOTS WON'T GO AWAY, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL STOP PUNISHING LEGIT PLAYERS TOO WHO ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE UP FOR YOUR FAILURE TO INCREASE STASH SIZE/ALLOW FOR LEGITIMATE MULING.|||Yeah, I got temp banned also about 12 hrs ago, although it is the first time its ever happened to me. I was wondering if they are just blanketing everyone with a longer ban because the ladder just reset or what? I just created 2 games in a matter of a couple min. Didn't know that that was a huge deal. How long are people typically banned for their first offense, I read somewhere that this thing is up to 3 days and that is unacceptable for a first offense.|||what is muling?

Single Player 1.13 ATMA problem with new quest item

So I've just downloaded the 1.13. Did a respec. Killed Andariel and she dropped something called Twisted Essense of Suffering. I leave the game, go into ATMA to try and offload stuff off my Amazon- and the file won't open. Several times. ATMA warns that the file may be corrupted, and whether I say you want it opened or you don't, ATMA just shuts down on me. I go back into the game, toss out the Twisted Essense of Suffering- everything works again. Any idea what the heck's up with that?

And what IS this Twisted thing anyhow?|||Check the ATMA thread in The Single Player Forum.

Left-Click Spells

Fanatic Zealer here and I'm kinda worried I haven't seen a post about this, as I've heard it happens with sorcs too and is very dangerous for hardcore players.

In certain positions around an enemy your left-click spell won't work and you'll go in for a normal attack. I've witness (Difference between Zeal attack and reg. attack is pretty obvious) and I've had a sorc confirm. Casted blizzard with left click but went in for a staff attack. This is a pretty dangerous bug and I hope it gets fixed, but I haven't seen anyone really talk about it so I'm worried it'll go over looked. Anyone else notice?|||best to use shift+left click to cast your left click spells

then if your out of mana you wont move or melee attack|||no point for me to do that since I can use zeal, I never run out of mana and never need to do a regular attack. With Sorcs that makes sense but that still doesn't fix the problem...|||Same here LightWithinX.

My first char after the reset is a Paladin, and frequently he just hacks normally instead of Zeal, which should be my left mouse attack.

I also noticed today that when I picked up the unique BloodRise morning star in Act3, the Quest log popped up and said I need to use the Khalims Will to smash the compelling orb. Strange as I just started the Act without even met the Dark Wanderer!

Diablo 2 Screen Problems

Hi guys when im playing diablo it plays in full screen but the image is not screen stretched to full screen. my screen 16:9 Widescreen

Please Help me

Cheers|||are you plaing in a window with ' -w' added to the target line of your d2 shortcut?

or full screen (by default it will fill the screen)

or do you want full screen with sidebars to keep the aspect ratio?

if your playing on a notebook, the screen could be keeping the native resolution centered

check the video card options and enable stretching or scaling to allow it to fill the screen|||no does it need to be there?

i was it just to stretch to my full screen , my laptop is a Acer Aspire 5532|||no, adding ' -w' to the shortcut forces windowed mode and ddraw2d



give the glide wrapper a shot



http://www.svenswrapper.de/english/downloads.html

download gl32ogl14d.zip and unzip to your d2 install folder

run glide-init.exe, pick english/dutch, opengl-infos, query opengl-infos

if nothing is listed under unsupported extensions its fine

pick settings

tick keep aspect ratio, desktop resolution, and vsync

then test to verify it works



if its successful

run D2VidTst.exe and pick glide

UNHANDLED EXCEPTION:

ACCESS_VIOLATION (c00000005)




I installed using the installers downloaded from Battle.net.

My computer specifications:

Microsoft Windows XP Professional 64-bit Edition

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 930 [Quad-Core, 2.8GHz]

6gb DDR3 RAM

Crossfire-X, 2 ATI Radeon HD 5750



I have no driver conflicts. My drivers are on the latest version. I have DirectX 11. I am not overheating. I have defragged. I have no problems with any other game. I have installed the latest patch [1.13].

Any advice?|||try windowed mode

add ' -w' to the end of the target line on your d2 shortcut|||so i just fired up d2 again cuz i heard about 1.13, but i get the unhandled exception crash so frequently now (usually while trying to create a game). i rarely ever had this occur prior.

i play windowed mode on win7 ultimatex64. thoughts?|||make sure your user acct has administrator privileges, try compatability mode for xp sp2

check the vista thread, more tips may be in there

Tried windowed mode, and that skips cinematics. Suddenly it works perfectly. Now i've just got cinematics disabled entirely. Thanks!
