whats wrong with having two computers

can get 2 whole screens just get 2 smaller keyboards and big mousepad

I mean, I used to do 5 on a computer and 4 on an other one
(it didnt change a single thing regarding the crashes)
instead of 2 sets of keyboard and mouse, just a single one by using a USB switch
at the moment amazon seems to be recommending that one:

had a different one but that's similar, u press the button and it moves your keyboard/mouse to the other

still, that's useless time loss, energy consumption and heat generating by using 2 whole computers for only 2 instances instead of alt tabbing there, just sayin..

oh shit didn't even know that thing existed (sry im just a normie)


def going to buy that for next reset



I used to have all 7 instances on one compu back in d2lod times but the problem is u dont get to watch the mobs slowly creep around your bo barb and when u see its hp go down its too late to go move it

so 2 comp/monitor to keep an eye on it at all times is king

that's fair lol
been a worry of mine as well
back in lod had the script to get BO barb back to town / going on his own run after BOing
but when manually playing I liked getting lazy and keep in cata 2 wp (which mobs happened, its rare but it does happen)
so since always making sure to have the mercs fully decked out as well for those situations
nowadays I just get them back to safety in town after BO/chant, even if a few seconds time loss, I just rather not having to worry at all

River of flame has the lowest amount of chances to have mobs creeping around versus QoL

Arcane sanctuary is 1000% safe but it’s annoying to respawn in act 2 every game

this ladder been doing river of flame mostly, since chaos to 93/94 on sin, that was the quickest
when running 20mins full tombs tho, have the BO barb doing in arcane then take tp to town (instead of wp) so could refresh BO during fight while the mobs are frozen from 3rd phoenix strike charges

something that is very unlikely to happen but has happened too is PK in private games, there were some PKers snipping private games & manually bruteforcing passwords by using common ones like "q" / "1" and so on
so a good thing to keep in mind as well even if very very unlikely to happen
still using different game name pattern for trade games and mf'ing games is good practice
(solo P8 can still have crash, leaving a potential empty slot for deranged PKer, so unlikely to happen but it did happened x))

God Damn Gorebelly.... my boy Cstrike gonna smite him up.

no offense but kinda deserved for playing mosaic in hc

If we valued our time we wouldn’t play video games
And we wouldn’t work over 40 hours a week.
