no touching your stash. no power levels. actually playing the game. think "season reset"
Every since 1.11, I've been playing a game on Diablo 2 called "Ironman", which consists of playing the game at the hardest difficulty and being pushed to the edge. There is usually a tourney on d2jsp.org where the winner gets a prize, but I don't know if I should do it here, since it is just a fun mode.
Here are the rules copied from d2jsp.org.
1. You must make another account for this event.
2. You can only play on your ironman account with your designated ironman squad.
3. You are not allowed to play in public games, go on runs, etc. You can only play ironman games.
4. You must add every one of your ironman teammates.
5. You are not allowed to buy/repair/heal from any of the vendors from any town unless it is quest related.
6. You are not allowed to use a town portal unless it is quest related.
7. If you AFK, you must ask your teammates to stop and wait for you. You are not allowed to go back to town and you must wait in the wilderness with your teammates. Teammates must wait for him.
8. You must get all the way points in every act.
9. You must give class-specific items to the teammate of that class.
10. You must all be different classes. (In the cases of 8 players, one of you must be a different type of that class)
11. You are not allowed to leave your teammate to die or you are disqualified.
12. In the case that you are lagging and you are within a group of monsters, you can leave the game to your designated channel, where you must either rejoin immediately or wait for everyone else to leave the game.
13. It is suggested that if you don't need anything in your inventory, drop it in in town during your town visits.
14. You are allowed to use identification from Cain.
15. You are allowed to buy a merc from another town, and resurrect them if they die.
16. If you die, let others loot your corpse before you leave the game.
17. You are allowed to redo your stats/skills, but this is not to be used as an excuse to heal at a healer.
18. If you kill Baal, you must complete the difficulty by killing the Cow King and ridding all of the Moo Moo Farm.
19. If you kill Hell Baal and Cow, you then make runs within your designated team to get keys. When you get enough keys, you will get the organs to uber trist. If you still live after that, then damn.
20. Even though this is a competition, team work is required. Work as a team to get through the game.
21. All quests must be done.
22. This is played on hardcore.
Alright so who here is interested in doing this? I'm doing it with 3 groups right now and it's a lot of fun and really intense. Of course we'll just ironman within this site, so we probably won't have a formal competition.
