Ah so basically you need an advantage over everyone else


It's not doing anything you can't do with a friend.

Don't hate on us social rejects!

Heck yeah!! I love the added complexity and all the potential it creates. I’ve got a 4x computer setup with 7x screens. My gf will help me with all the characters (most of which require minimum micro). I’ll be running my own Baal runs with him Quest Bugged at the end :D Not to mention Netflix on the middle screen B)

Keep up the good work! I want to see if you//anyone can get this figured out


Yep well, we'll see on release I guess.

I tried both sandboxie as well as sandboxieplus, running from different installation folders, even tried running one battle.net in sandboxie as well, everytime I try to join a game though on the sandboxed instance, it crashes or hangs on black screen.

So two instances of D2R beta, both on seperate PC's, is the most I can do for now.

With 4 PC's you are already set to run 4 instances at least. But I can imagine you might want to run 8 all things considered. If I had 4 capable PC's, I would be tempted to do so myself.. But I'll stick to (hopefully) a tri-box for release, if I can get that at least to run two in one machine.

Can setup virtual machines and run multiple instances that way. It is built into windows 10 and easy to setup.

Along with BO Barb you can also.. glitch quest a boss, trade on jsp while playing, increase the player count, rush yourself, Sorc Teleport, Pally Conviction, etc


Forgive me it's been almost 20 years since I last played d2....what is glitch quest a boss?
My guess is that it means creating the game with the other player (with the quest already done) so that you can't complete the quest yourself?

Yes, and then when you kill with the character that has quest pending but “cannot complete” you will get quest drops upon kill. This only happens when you kill a boss for the first time (or quest bug).. their loot table is much better than normal.

This process can be a bit of a pain but totally worth it. Act 1 boss is the only exception to how this is done. Andy doesn’t require you to do this trick…. She can be bugged permanently by simply going straight to Act 2 upon killing her without leaving the game.

Welcome to jsp :thumbsup:
