Mark, sorry I have been out of town. Yes, I do work for them or as we are now called, Vivendi-Universal Interactive. Our offices in Torrance are moving to a MUCH nicer facility just north of LAX. Blizzard, however, will not be moving offices.

Regards,

 

Scott,

Glad to hear that you're moving the office and didn't shut it down. The place they occupied in Torrance was HUGE!!!! I used to drive by it every day.

Too bad you couldn't get us on the beta testing for the Diablo II expansion pack.

 

hey derrick lets have an s2000 Starcraft: Broodwar game. we can all meet up in say channel s2000 and play 4v4 games and what not, it'll be fun huh? lets see if i can get some other s2000 pll to join

 

hey derrick my broodwar name is shortgeese messege me when your on.

 

From the outside the office may have looked huge, however, it was a terrible layout with little space inside. Getting around was also a mess. It took me forever to navigate the maze. However, we actually have two buildings in the new location. Bigger and much nicer. The education division will occupy one building and the other will be for G&A. We also used to have a warehouse on 190th very near the old Torrance building. That moved to Fresno some months ago.

Sorry about the beta. I don't think that one was nearly as open as for D2. Should be on store shelves this Friday!

Have fun.

 

Going to get the expansion this weekend....I will be PM'ing everyone as soon as I have it installed....

 

Sure, I alreayd have the exapnsion set, let me know when you have it installed..

 

I used to play alot. I had awesome legit original Diablo characters and had quite a few legit awesome Diablo II characters. I just don't have the time to play anymore.

I never liked SC much.

 

The expansion set is awesome. Two new character classes. The assasin is pretty good, but the druid is pretty weak. I'm having a hard time killing Diablo with the druid. It was pretty easy killing Diablo with the assasin though.

Still playing through the new chapters. Anyone have any good tips???

 

Assassin - tiger strike + dragon claws
(better choice would be tiger strike + dragon tail....until they fix the bug)
20 in tiger strike, 20 in claw mastery, 1 in dragon claws and 1 in dragon tail.....until they confirm the feature/bug

Druid is actually more powerful. My wife plays a druid.
The best/popular choice is lycanthropy + werewolf + rage + fury
Second popular choice is lycanthropy + werebear + mual
Third popular choice is lycanthropy + werebear + shockwave (wimpy, big tank and great partner)
Last choice........it has absolutely no use....elemental druid.

The best place to level , Act5 foothills of all 3 difficulties.
After you go through it once, wipe it out backwards every time.

Normal up to level 35
Nightmare up to level 75
If you like easy going exp.
If you like tough monsters and fast exp, I'd do
normal up to level 35
nightmare up to level 45
act5/hell from level 45 on.......just don't die.....

The only character I don't play is Paladin.
My favorite is a sorc and my wife's favorite is a bowazon.

Playing Barb, assassin and druid make me feel brain dead....but it's fun at times...when I just need to hack someone to pieces, graphically.
