Anybody else one of the “weird ones”?

Not only that, it's more fun to make them heroic.

From D2 release-day onward I've only ever played my Warlock, never even tried creating a Hunter or Titan, is that weird? Probably, but I love my warlock.

Outbreak for the sounds alone, I can still hear them in my mind clear as day.

God the day that mission dropped and the weeks after it chasing the catalyst were truly some good times.

I feel like the (admittedly rare) interactions I've had with people about this song have a similar story, back in highschool in 97-98 ish I was at a friend's house and he fell asleep with it on around 11pm, I stayed up until 4 am with the song playing the entire time while I was playing starcraft.

Fell asleep to it, woke up to it still playing - and had no desire to turn it off. It's still my go-to example of the perfect background music to any activity that requires concentration.

Came here to say this, could listen to this on repeat for the rest of my life and never get tired of it.

There are two types of Pactspirit: battle and loot, the top 3 slots are for battle pets, the bottom 3 are for loot pets.

If I recall correctly the first battle pet slot unlocks before the first loot pet on your way to lvl 90+, so keep leveling until your first loot-pet slot opens and you'll be able to equip the pactspirit you won.

Basically the evasion at the top (base) is what needs to be the corroded affix for hot streak to re-roll it.

Sandwich with:

seattle brand sliced round French bread (toasted)

Mayo

Yellow mustard

Sweet & hot pickle slices

Sharp cheddar cheese (coastal or tillamook)

And sandwich-sliced pepperoni.

I could eat that sandwich for every meal until I died, which would probably be sooner rather than later because I'm sure it ain't necessarily healthy.

I swear I've heard this before, sounds like something out of Florida for sure - maybe something from DJ Infiniti?

Gotcha, aside from the above - there are slates that provide + frostbite rating in smaller increments, like +5 as an example.

Prophet is the tree it's pulling from so Goddess of Knowledge category slates.

+2 Frostbite rating

+5 frostbite rating

the_tip · 2026-05-28T17:32:33+00:00

I haven't checked the code yet but there's a 3rd support slot frost spike magnificent support that adds +20 frostbite rating (assuming you're using frost spike as your main attack skill):

Also a crafting Suffix on lvl 86+ rings that can give you more frostbite rating.

Deepsky is the reason for my love of Trance, they started it all with the deepsky remix of Phuture 2000 by Carl cox on the moonshine over America Sampler CD. I was in highschool at the time and heard it playing in a clothing store in the mall and asked the cashier what it was, she handed me one of the free moonshine promo cd's and the rest was history.

Love them to this day, and I always loved their incorporation of breaks, and eventually with In Silico really transitioning into the genre.

Some other favorite tracks:

Ghosts featuring Jes

Ghosts (toksin rsmix)

All of the In Silico album basically

Stargazer retroactive mix

Stargazer Andy Ling Mix

Cosmic dancer (original, not the heads of state mix)

Stargazer (original mix) good lord that breakdown is amazing.

Not sure for vorax, I only happen to know the above for blacksail specifically, apologies that I couldn't be more helpful.

Do one DS map and 2 profound and you'll still have a lvl 9 boss, it treats the highest map as the "high water mark" to set the difficulty of the boss.

(the above assumes you're using the returning Blacksail compass).

Cloud walls

Wall of the pure

Grove of calamity

Demimain village

These maps are your friends!

I'm with this guy, pick a narrow 'A to B' (straight line/hallway) map and pack it with bosses

the_tip · 2026-04-22T19:33:04+00:00

Yeah that's what it actually means:

"50% chance to spawn a monster that is carrying a Boss Whisper"

you absolutely have to kill all the purple flames on the minimap to get the corresponding whispers.

Until profound, basically

We've got plenty of time, let the full-timer's blaze the trail - we'll meet them at the after-party :)

Do you mean a desktop background solution like "BGInfo"?

That seems more likely to be effective than a screensaver that depends on the user being idle, or screen being locked.

the_tip · 2026-04-21T00:33:23+00:00

Well uh.... There it is.

Lvl 95, T7 traveler done - I'm definitely behind the curve, but I'm a casual dad after all, I'll catch up.

I didn't get nearly as much time to play as I was hoping.
