a clever wizzard..........

Ha, was there any doubt ?! A 5 wicket win is still a win.

I've not seen the latest table, tbh. If we overcome the Windies then we should be up there. We are in a very strong position after a first innings lead, but no-one seems to be able to get the wicket of Chanderpaul. What a batsman he has been over the years. Was in the shadow of Lara for a long time, but certainly is thier number 1 now.

Many congrats to Chelsea after thier win in the Champions league final. Bayern played really well, but just couldn't break down the Chelsea defence. Watched the whole match last night and it was a fantastic match in which both teams deserve a pat on the back. Both teams gave 100% and the fans were great too. I'll bet there are a few with hangovers this morning, haha !

I'm sure that Blizzard will change things as they have done in the past with D2. Expect plenty of patches.

from evil runes...........

Sort of a moot point. You are unable to equip unidentified items, so right clicking an unidentified item will always identify it first. Yeah, got is sussed now. It always amazes me when folk suss things like that, as it isn't written anywhere.............well, not that I've seen. The manual has very little indeed, which is a shame. It's as if they want you to play blind, in a way.

Identify Scrolls have been removed from the game. You now just need to right-click on the item to identify it. Max Really ? That's amazing............I never would have thought. Hmmm, I know that if it is in your inventory that right clicking will equip it, and if it is in the merchant window that right click will sell, so I better be careful. I'm guessing from what you say, that as I right click and the item is equiped, that it will identify itself ? Thankyou for your answer. Steve. PS :- I just noticed, how many times will you see 4 two letter words used consecutively in a sentence and they all begin with the same letter ?!

How do you identify items please ? I know that in earlier Diablo games you could buy scrolls, but I haven't seen them so far ingame. I just found a couple of rares and it would be nice to know what they are.

Obviously my level was too low, as that merchant has started to sell some nice weps now. I've upgraded twice with some very nice 1h xbows. Many thanks for your help.

Can some-one list some chat tips please ? I can't find anything on chat and it would be handy for when I party as I've only soloed thus far. I've sent out a bit of chat and received it, but I only know the basics. I notice that a couple of people have whispered to me, so I would like to know how and why they do that. Any chat tips would be great. Cheers, Steve.

£32.91. A bargain, IMHO.

I've started off in sc mode, mostly 'cause I'm a wimp ! When I feel I have the hang of the game, then I'll certainly be moving into hc mode.

designed to use.........

I got mine from Amazon.UK. Much cheaper than download and was delivered the morning of release. What more can you ask for ?!

The last thing any of us want to is to get hacked, so many thanks to Dob's for the heads-up.

Heh, I must admit to falling fowl of chasing that treasure mob..............paid the price too ! Many thanks Knuckles for this. Idiots like me always need advice, lol !

I have read many reports over the years where some-one has lived through a motor vehicle vs bicycle accident purely by wearing a helmet. One girl, who fell off her bike under a car, was actually run over the head by the car. She survived with just bruises because of the helmet. Let me repeat, the wheel of the car went over her head and she survived. She would not be alive if she didn't wear a helmet. The helmet was not so lucky ! For me, there is no excuse not to wear a helmet, even if you are off road biking. Wear your helmet and live to cycle another day.

I died very early on, but that was probably more my fault than the game, lol !

Thanks for that mate. I have visited that vendor, but just my luck that he had no 1h xbows. I'll go back and see if his stock has changed.

Hey there mate. I remember you from the first Sacred and met you many times in closed hc. Good to see you.

like an eagle..........

discovered an ancient............

Hi. I'm loving my Demon Hunter, but after around 3 hours play, I haven't had a hand crossbow drop. The damage limitation on the starting one is so low that I am going to have to swap to another weapon, which is a shame. I haven't seen any hand crossbows at the vendors either. Has anyone had them drop as treasure or seen them sold somewhere ? What are other DH players using after the first few lvls ? The DH is a lot of fun, but I've died already ! Just as well I've started off in sc mode. Look forward to any answers/advice. Cheers, Steve.

Well worth the effort. I loved the first two games, so was worried when Blizz broke up the team that made them. But they've done a fab' job with number three, they really have. I would even go as far as saying this is the best Diablo they've released, IMHO. I have played for around three hours so far, not a lot, but enough to fall in lurve with it ! I don't know what else to say, other than to give it a go. If you know some-one that has the game, then maybe they'll let you have one of thier guest passes ? More fun than you can shake a pointy stick at ! Steve.
