Introduction
This thread is essentially a collection of ideas from people who have posted in this thread, submitting their idea to be put in this thread for everyone to view at their leisure. The point of this thread is to rekindle any fading interest in Diablo II as well as Lord of Destruction with fun things to do while in-game, which can be any number of odd and out of the ordinary activates and tricks, depending. If you have a suggestion for this thread, please PM me, Minny, or Sweaty Ogre to have it added ASAP. If enough suggestions are made, then it may cause a resurgence of interest in some people who still play Diablo II and Lord of Destruction! NOTE
The suggestions made in this thread are mostly comprised of ideas that people have learned from other people, whether it be in-game or on different forums. The ideas listed here are probably not by the person who originally thought them up, but rather put in here by people who've done them in-game and consider them a good source of fun while playing Diablo II and Lord of Destruction. Some of these suggestions, you've done yourself, seen other people do, etc. Keep this in mind. With that being said, you can suggest anything as long as it hasn't been suggested. If you have a unique idea that people have never heart of, you will be credited for it. icastbigspells said:I like everyone to drop there items and me pick them up... Fun things to do hmmm Leap attack duels thats what i do or boxing
icastbigspells said:But not actually hide items i do that alot lol for free games im just like free enigma in den of evil and there all hostiling eachother
Trojan Man said:or play hide the item and see if anyone can find it
Samsara said:I like the "herd as many fallen as you can" game in hell w/o dying
DragnSkull said:-gathera bout 1mil gold, and go into act 1 and following the dirt path, make it a "yellow brick road" by dropping 1 gold out... its kinda slow but the end result is quite amusing
-or spell out your clan name using gold
-or go to a2 and fill the temple w/ gold...
-also: do iron man contests (those actually bring fun in) in hc
-kill durial, and attempt to smash all the maggots that come out. (works with any area almost)
-go into games and repeatedly drop your item on the ground, then when someone runs to pick it up, grab it before he can. eventually someone will mimic u and start doing the same thing, but the fun part is here: your character is a necro. and you have iron golem. nuff said lol (this brings on a good few minutes of amusment especially when its a runeword)
-create a new character, and using maphack, go into normal games, and start arguments, then act like your a "leet uber haxor" and using color, say things like
<red>Uploading Hydra Virus </red>

and whatnot, and watch the noobs get nervious.
0nyx said:Have someone drop the same item a bunch of times to fill up the floor and have one SOJ somewhere who ever finds it keeps the soj.
BAH im not creative as u can see :]
binny said:this is along the lines of what dragn said. Say that you are selling an anni, try to sell for an ebotd or something and once they drop it iron golem it right in front of them and watch them go crazy.
play capture the flag in act1 with 6-8 people. bases are den of evil and the hole or w/e its called in cold plains. I read a rule guide for it awhile ago and it looked really fun.
CelestialBadger said:One of my bnet friends a long time ago built a barb with the highest possible faster run/walk mods. I always thought that would be kind of fun to do.
Emolite said:What i like to do thats fun to me, is find a group of ranged units, and be playing as zon or assassin, use burst of speed, or the ability that slows down arrows, and i play a lil game of "dodge the arrows." Its fairly fun, and the most i've lasted was about 10 mins in norm a4 lvl 27 assassin lvl 1 speed burst Vs those invisible things that shoot lightning.
XxSworn_EnemyxX said:[glow=green]Some ideas I have actually done out of bordom.
Get a full room of Barbs and leap frog each other from the town, to the boss of that act. (yea really bored)
End of every ladder season, I make a room for trading and ask questions. Whoever is the first to get the answer right gets that item. For me I only keep 1 character after the ladder is over, and he always has the end gear on. So I just give the rest away.
Tag PVP. Get a group of friends in a full room and try to find one another. After finding somone try to kill them. This actuually gets pretty interesting, if 2 or more ppl find someone at the same time then it becomes a free for all.
In hardcore, a friend and you create the same character, lvl it to 10 or so, put all your skills and stats exactly the same, drop all your gear to a friend to hold. Now box with no gear, using no skills or whatever. (HC Bordom yippy!)
Something I have done, while waiting for friends to finish xfering, or waiting for D clone to spawn is try to kill ever last monster in that act. (Bordom extrodinair)
Lastly, make a character using only gear bought from merchants, and see how long it survives. Another varient is get a character with nothing but cursed gear and see how long he survives.[/glow]
Melting_Steel said:i like stealing other people's gold w/ telekenisis RIGHT BEFORE they get to it :grunt
Darkmatter said:I figured you would know some fun things to do while dueling. Like using Slow Missiles, and Slow Effects on gear to have Matrix Fights. (Non Guided of course.) I always used too do that with a friend. They dodge slow and it's really awesome to do, from my experience.
COTA-GoD said:i used to get people to slow arrow me and i would multi (i got max multi) and i would clear out full games doing that cause they would tele into it not seeing it, haha, pretty funny.

Emolite said:what i did with my new char... and omg this can take forever
kill ALL the monsters in ALL the areas, and pick up EVERY item they drop and sell it
good way to help out your lower lvl chars
i did this all the way to stony field... and then after using 30+ tp's i said **** it.. and just went along killing everything
i got about 20k gold.. not bad for a char just created
it will take prob 4+ hours to go through the whole act, kill EVERY monster, and sell EVERY ITEM ( even potions )
Big-Fat-Homo said:Idea: Build a bowsassin then duel with somebody. Fire a couple of guideds, switch IMMEDIATELY to two bartucs. I find it hilarious. They run up to you, and see you holding 2 claws...
Noob: Wtf?! Where did that guided come from?!
Me: Idk.>_>
Darkmatter said:I've always had fun doing this: Being a Frnezy Barb and trying to out speed a Sorceress or Assassin when they teleport, or when the assassin uses Burst of Speed. If you got Frenzy High enough you can usually beat them. I made a pure speed barb dedicated to running and frenzy and he was really, really fast. My friend in turn made a pure speed assassin! We were too fast to tell where our characters were going or to even control them!
-Azrael666- said:Ok, first you have to get everyone in the game to come to some point to meet up, like in town. Offer gold or items if you want to, that usually works. Once everyone has gathered in the meeting place, have them all go hostile with eachother.
Once you've accomplished getting everyone together and hostile, have them all use the waypoint to go to the same place, or just leave town, and form a circle. Now, one person runs around outside the circle, as many times as they want, until finally they hit someone with a melee attack. Now that person has to hit them back with a melee attack before they can run all the way around the circle and take their spot.
It's like duck-duck-goose, except more fun. Now, if the person who gets hit can hit them back before they make it around the circle, then the person who is trying to make it around the circle is out of the game. The circle should get more and more spread out as the game progresses, until finally 2 people remain, at which point they are the winners. You can modify the rules so that there's a way to pick one winner at the end, but that's up to you.
Of course, you need to pay the winners whatever you said you would, and it helps if you're supplying them with health potions to make up for the damage they take. If anyone gets out of line, have everyone teach them the meaning of punishment, although that's usually not a problem.
-Azrael666- said:Use a high leveled Assassin and go hostile towards everyone as soon as you join the game. Make sure you have really powerful traps, and rig them right outside the Act I town. Now sit back and watch people coming out get unsuspectedly brutalized.
I can't remember if you can, but if so, go into town far enough that you're safe and let your traps do all the work. I think they might all be destroyed when you enter town though, and if that's the case, it's not like it's any less fun when you're standing outside.
Their reaction the first time they come out is priceless If you're skilled enough that your traps kill them before they can get by them all, well, it just gets increasingly more entertaining as they continue trying. Really fun stuff.
MardoXide said:act like you are going to help someone, and leave the game, and dont come back, its sad, but funny.
WhiteScimmy91 said:1.Duel For Prizes.
2.See how much people you can kill in a hour.
3. Grizzly Fights With necros
bitWISE said:I like the idea of building level 9 duelers. It only takes about an hour and then you and a friend can duke it out to see who's idea was best. Last time I did it my sacrifice/might pally wearing full sigons kicked the shit of my friends thorns. I think I did around 300 damage or something ^_^
MardoXide said:You know what you could do for real fun, is run around the cow level with a high lighting zon, and gather ALL THE COWS in teh cow level, i mean ALL and spray all of em, it lags any computer, its funer than hell..
there are other fun things to do, like role play, like get 8 friends and goto like act 2 and have someone be a bar master, and stuff like that all useing !talk to talk and normal chat as a moderator thing.
NtRik_ said:The funniest thing Ive done in D2?
Make PK trapsin, pk everyone in Baal runs, follow them when you can use waypoint, and trap around and kill em.
of course this doesnt work because of teleporters, but Im talking about the days when w used to walk down to baal's throne.
edit
me my bro and my friend used to do this, fun as hell.
Guru said:That reminds me, the most fun I've ever had in diablo was back in the day with whippy and liquid goat...we would herd a ton of cows around the portal and then spam up the game name in the cow channel and just watch people run in and die...it was especially good if you could get a cow with a fana aura. Too bad it doesnt work anymore since no one gives a **** about cows now
XxSworn_EnemyxX said:Fun but evil things to do:
Get a high lvl Hammeridin, and enter a Baal run game. wait till everyone is baaling, hostile and tele to them. They will all die, or run out of the game.
Do cows with a high lvl Windy Druid for all those trying to lvl up to 24. Run around them atracting all the cows and then, tp out to town, watch everone flame you.
Q&A for items. At the end of every ladder season, I have a Q&A room where I ask a question, and the first person who gets it right, gets a free item. I only keep 1 or 2 characters with their end gear, so everything else goes.
Go to a trading room, and tell someone to create a privite room for trade since all your gear is on a mule. Show up, and tell em you'll be right back, but get his character name first. Then go to another trade room and get someone else to go to the first privite room, where you will be waiting for the item you were suppose to trade for. This creates a bit of confusion between the two players. I did this as an april fools to some players.
create a hardcore character and lvl it with a priend in a privite game. Then go and PK some noobs in a open HC lvling game.
Just out of bordom, do a baal run game, but act as a bot. Then after so many runs, confuse the hell out of them by asking who the bot is.
Make a clan called KKK, and use nothing but pallies. (Uhhh they are black guys)
Join a low lvling game with a high lvl character and kill all the act bosses then leave.
This takes some work, but try chatting backwards in the chat rooms, and games. Or simply join a game, and say "long time no see (make name up)" They will get so annoyed at you for calling them by the wrong name that they will ignore you, then talking in the bubbles, tell him that "I guess you don't want that Nigma I owed you then" and leave. This will piss em off so bad he will msg you the rest of the night while kicking himself in the ass for ignoring you.
enter a game for new character lvling, and tell them all you hid something in the room, watch em all scramble to find it.
Try to pretend to cyber someone playing, they get annoyed fast.
start a rumor see how far it goes
When someones character dies, drop a worthless item on their corpse, if done right when they return to get their body they will leave behind an item they were using instead.
In a HC game create a suicidal character, join a game with a friend, but give the frined the opten to grab your gear from your corpse. Then wait till everyone is battling by a waypoint then go into town and hostile them, ifthey are high enough in character lvl they wont even bother to see if you have facets on because of their high lvl. When they attack you and them die. Arrogence at its finest.
give some noob maphack, then tell them to activate it you need to press 5 as they enter a new game, this will cause them to kick off the room, when they come back, say " what happened you did something wrong, try again. " After 4 or 5 time BNet will thing they are a bot and lock them from joining a new game for a few mins
befriend a PKer, and after they have trusted you, they might ask you to help xfer, or hold something. Take it and run lol.
be as annoying as possible when lvling in a full game.
help someone do the Mephisto quest, but after they kill him, hostel them till they leave. If they have not gone into the portal to act 4 they must kill Meph all over again for the quest.
Uhhh thats all I can think of for now be back later with more.
MardoXide said:Its funny to tell people and waste their time by making a falty account with peoples names making fun of them, and say its legit, and then go make people fallow you around and do shit, and then give it to em, and then your done.
TopGun said:It may take some time but its hella fun! first you have to acquire someones password, then play along for a couple of weeks getting them to believe that everythings cool you trust them they can completely trust you, and all that other good stuff, then you can just go in and wipe them out. They will probably change their password after that but then you could say this,
Me: Hey i got my account robbed wtf ? Do you know who did it? (act as if you never knew about his getting robbed and that yours got robbed)
Person: No, srry, mine got robbed too wtf? i wander who did it.
Me: Hey well lets be careful about the password things, what is your new one?
Person: its ................
Me: thanks
Person: yea np
See thats it thats all you gotta do , i have stolen this persons account like 2 times already and i have gotten his new pass every time! lol its great these people are sooo dumb to give out their password!
NtRik_ said:I knew there was some injustice here, I dont get 20 gils or 50 gils for giving a great fun idea.
in HC, make a sirceressm high lvl, learn hydras, and kill newbs when you're giving waypoints or something.
or even better, make rooms named "NEED TAL RAHSA CHARM" with fake items, see idiots join and flame you, and eventually waste time while you're just doing meph or pindle run.
Trojan Man said:fine fine .
How bout play dodge the souls? First one to die loses.
Nicholas The Slide said:fun things to do...hmmm
1. Chicken
Its naked dueling, but melee only and two people riun at each other. and if you chicken out and turn off, you lose. (you use your normal weapons)
2. Assasin foot races (always fun)
3. LLD
not really a "game" but its a really fun way to play, just keep it under lvl 30!
MardoXide said:When me friend started filling act 4 up with gold i was like wtf, when he got 1/2 it dont i was laffing my ass off, an dthen i started to help, it was fken awsome.
BoD_zhadow_magick said:i prefer the ever more wonderful way of makin games like "free ebotd zerk here" and stuff, tellin them its in the den or sometihin and then settin up trpas or hammers, very entertaining, then after a bit you let them look and theres nothin there. its great when they freak out bout you lying, i mean, who would give way a ebotd zerk unless they werelike uber rich and had like 20 of em.
*Turok said:a nice idea would be to scam a person with the old switcherue..and watch him beg u for it back for hours... lmfao ahh the good old days........
BoD_zhadow_magick said:hha, or the ever more wonderful act 2 scam, were the bar is you get one person inside in the corner, and your on outside, works good for anni or gheed trades, the person inside drops, and you drop, you can pick his up there and yours, he cant touch yours though, its grea,t listen to them freak out and curse and swear and try to pk you sometimes, its hilarious
Draygonia said:Something fun to do in diablo eh? Having some n00b get his high level char and you getting your low level and own him. Hence when this guy got his pally zealadin and I got my low level fire sorc and one fireball killed him. Or when I got my summoner nec with nigma on old acct and pwned him by tele and skelies just swarmed and owned him.
Emolite said:this is entirely funny...
after a ball run in norm and you've got ur lvl 60+ char
if your lucky some ppl ( lvl 30-40 preferably ) will stay after all the minions are dead and chat
go kill baal, and when they freak out and start calling you fag... just sit back and laugh
ive done this before when there were 6 other ppl in the game.. fun stuff right there
when they do
