One More Trip Through the Crypts

It was starting to feel like I had been stuck in Act I of Nightmare Mode for too long. Don’t get me wrong, I like Act I, and I was having a good time playing through it on Monster Power 1 (or 2). For whatever reason, I just had to get my Barbarian, Zeta, into to Act II already!

First, a little side trip through the Cemetery of the Forsaken (while on Monster Power 2), in an effort to hopefully get a little closer to finishing the Haunted Achievement. Hopefully, this will be the last time I see it for a while (because I will have moved on to Act II).

The Little Wizard Tries Monster Power

In my previous Diablo III blog, I went over a little bit about my first experiences with Monster Power. It put in screenshots of how it went with my Demon Hunter, my Barbarian, and even one screenshot of my little bitty Monk.

I also tried out Monster Power with my little Wizard, Orlando. He started off as level six, so he was obviously still in Act I of Normal mode. I selected Monster Power 1 for him, and went right back to the Crypts in the Cemetery of the Forsaken. Here’s some of the highlights of his adventure.

More Powerful Monsters

What’s this Monster Power I’ve been hearing about? I decided to find out, and Shawn was kind enough to help me. It took us a while to figure out how to enable Monster Power. Once we got that sorted out, we got confused about how to make it work in a co-op game. Eventually, we actually got to try out this new Monster Power thing.

In short – more powerful monsters. Here’s some interesting screenshots of what we ran into on our very first experience using Monster Power.

Gaming While Sick – I Haz the Dumb

As usual, I haven’t had a whole lot of time to play Diablo lately. Thanksgiving was spent at a relative’s house (and it was fun). We had a relative’s birthday to attend to a few days later (and it was fun, too). Naturally, since I actually left the house and went outside not once, but twice, in a short span of time, I have been really sick.

My goal for Diablo III this time around was to see if I could figure out how to get Monster Power to work, and then, to check it out. But, because I’m sick, I haz “the dumb”. Therefore, our first experience with Monster Power was … confusion.

That’s NOT a Treasure Goblin!

The last time I played my Barbarian, Zeta, she was in Act I of Nightmare mode. By the time I’d stopped playing, she had reached level 34. Her (rather short this time) adventure continues from there!

I decided to return to the Cemetery of the Forsaken just to see if the dungeons had any other achievements for me. I got Jar of Souls (my favorite) a while back, and I got The Matriarch’s Bones the previous time I played.

ThirtySeven and Smashez and Zoltan Kulle

Shawn and I had a little bit of time to play some D3. Last time, we ended up having to stop when an earthquake hit. This left my Demon Hunter, ThirtySeven, and Shawn’s Barbarian, Smashez, somewhere in the series of Zoltan Kulle quests. We were in Act II in normal mode of Diablo III.

Killing Demons in an Earthquake

Late last night, or early this morning (depending on your perspective), Shawn and I had time to play some Diablo III together. I was playing my level 23 Demon Hunter, ThirtySeven, and Shawn was playing his level 23 Barbarian, Smashez. Our adventure took a very unexpected turn a little bit before midnight!

We are in Act II in Normal Mode. We found some interesting monsters to kill.

Diablo III: The Nightmare Continues

In my previous blog, I described how I finally got my Barbarian, Zeta, into Nightmare Mode of Diablo III. Sadly, the server went down not too long after I started playing. Undaunted, I waited fifteen minutes and attempted to log back in. It worked! Here are some highlights from Zeta’s first (real) adventure in Nightmare mode.

The server placed me at the very beginning of the dungeon I was desperately running through, in an effort to reach the Checkpoint before the server crashed. I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised by this.

Welcome to My Nightmare

This month, I have been incredibly busy writing. Freelance tends to be a constant fluctuation between “feast or famine”. October has been the biggest feast yet. This morning, I finally had the opportunity to take my Barbarian, Zeta, into Nightmare mode of Diablo III.

I fully expected to get my head chopped off, and handed back to me, shortly after going in. Instead, it turned out that there were demons of a technical nature that were the first things to slay me. When I went to log in, I noticed some “Breaking News”:
