Socket quest question!!

[JoeBob]

Im just wondering if theres a special way to do the soc quest for magic its.. sometimes I get 2 socs and other times I only get 1 soc.. is it just luck?? or is there a special way to do it to get 2 socs everytime??

Thx

[!King_Amazon!]

It's random.

[Titusfied]

Yeah, it is random, but if you have a buddy, there is a rollback method that works for imbueing, socketing, and cubing recipes. Unfortunately, its never been incorporated into a dupe method, but it still works for those aforementioned ideas if you don't like the results.

[Mountain_Screw]

You would perform this rollback how, might I ask?

[!King_Amazon!]

On D2 with a buddy.

[Mountain_Screw]

Couldnt have been anymore vague about that.

[!King_Amazon!]

I coulda just said on D2.

[-=Rico-GP=-]

Couldnt have been anymore vague about that.

and how.

[JoeBob]

Well, is anyone going to explain how to actually DO this rollback??
When you say on D2.. you mean the game or a certian website that explains it????

[Pekson]

I would also like to know how to do this coz i hate getting 1 socket on my cruels that are of evis and quickness -.-

[Titusfied]

Ok, I'll try to explain is really fast:

1) Player A enters the game.
2) PLayer B enters the game, and doesn't touch a damn thing. Don't touch your mouse pad or keyboard or even come close to yourr computer after you presss "Join Game"
3) Player A does his thing... Cube, sockets, whatever.
4) If he doesn't like the outcome, he goes up to Player B, and clicks on him, as if he wanted to trade with him.
5) Player B then presses Alt+F4, causing his Diablo screen to crash completely, and this also causes the game the drop.

That is it. Once the game drops and PLayer B gets booted off Bnet, all your items are back the way they wer before. THe only side effect is that Player B will have a RD for about 5-10 minutes... :(

Trust me, it works. Ask Doofus, me and him have crafted a shit load of 11 life leech rings dong this technique. :)

Good luck, and have fun! :)

[JoeBob]

Yes this method does work and thank you for the help but........
I also read somewhere that if you get failed to join game after you rollback that you need to switch accts and make a game with a diff acct b4 you try to make game with rollback char...
Is this true?

Im asking cause I was rolling back about 5-6 times with no trouble and then I got failed to join game after last one and I didnt switch accts and just made another game and sad to say I just ruined a cruel ward of evics with 298ed


PS.. is there a way to get a day rollback type thing?? instead of gettin just last game rollback is there any way to get complete day of crap or just a couple hrs rollback?

Im guessing this is a very stupid question but ill ask anyway
LOL

[!King_Amazon!]

No, unless you can talk blizzard into rolling you back. Also, if the game saves for any reason after you craft/socket/imbue the item(s) then you're fucked.

[Titusfied]

Right, not unless you have a spare computer on a different IP address that can just sit in the game while you do this all day and don't leave the game once after Player B joins.

I don't know about that switching account thing, sorry. I have had instances where it didn't work, but I'd say, all in all, it worked a good 85% of the time.

[JoeBob]

Yea.. it works out really good.. I have noticed 1 thing, when you go to click on player B and they hit alt f4 to leave, sometimes it says player left and sometimes it says nothing.. Everytime it says player b left then it hasnt worked.. I dont know if thats a glitch or what, or perhaps the friends im doing it with(that couldnt even config pickit files) fucked up by moving or something and just said no I didnt do anything..

and with the 2nd pc with diff ip address.. do you mean that if theres a 3rd person in the game that does nothing at all like if he were player B that just stands in the game that it will not save??
If thats the case couldnt you just get a 3rd friend in the game to do nothing?


PS.. all this info is very very helpfull and again I must give props to zelaron forums and all the members that respond very quickly with lots of input that has been most helpfull

[Doofus_AW]

I have a few cruels to sock if anyone wants to do this tomorrow PM me.

[JoeBob]

OK.... I have a very interesting question.. Me and a friend were doing this for about 2hrs with no mistakes and it worked everytime... after doing it on the soc quest my friend was socin the item and I was just sitting there doing nothing as usuall.. My cat jumped up and the desk and moved my mouse.. I then ran over to larzuk so he would know I fucked up by moving... he clicked on me as usuall and i just hit alt f4 as we have been doing... dont know how or why .. but when we were starting the next game for crafting he noticed that the soc were gone..

anyone know how this may have happen even after I moved when I was suspost to?


PS PS PS I also know a way to get around the realm down part.. if anyone wants to know let me know

[!King_Amazon!]

You got lucky.

[badboy]

I also know a way to get around the realm down

Go ahead.

[Pekson]

Yeah how do you get thru that realm down i hate how i have to wait 15min to get back!

[J_Frog]

could you telll us how you got around the RD thing we all would like to know thanks.

[!King_Amazon!]

If you use 56K you can just reconnect.

[DragonDPT]

ahahahahahahahahahahaha. funny. 56kers get around everything almost. slow but good in some cases i must say

[Titusfied]

Yeah, those bastards. Just in case anyone was wondering why that is, its because on dial up your IP changes everytime, and when you get a RD, it is actually a temp IP ban on blizz's part.

[JoeBob]

Ok.. sorry for the slow respounce everyone... I was out of town for the weekend..
Ok, heres how you get around the RD issue..

56ks can just disconnect from their isp and reconnect to get rid of RD..

But I have 700kDSL,
For people that have dsl/cable..
You can set an option in your connection config so that it wont auto connect, then you can add a shortcut to your desktop that you have to use just like dial-up to connect to the isp.

Just like having 56k connection that you can disconnect and reconnect at will..

DragonDPT was correct that they get away with just about everything but 56k reminds me of the old office term sneakernet

[badboy]

Ok, your going to have to be more specific.

[JoeBob]

Ok.. I will try to be a bit more specific.... Im a MCSE so its just easy for me and when I explain things I guess I just expect peeps to know what im sayin...

Ok..
B4 you even get started on this it works with must dsl connections(cause most of them have static ip "changes every time you log on").. and very few cable connections since they are not static....

Every time you turn your system on the dsl/cable can or can not be logged on auto... usually when you install the service it selects it to have auto logon when the computer boots up.(just like when you install some programs and they automaticly put them selfs in the comp startup to load as soon as the computer is booted)..
Theres an opition in your isp config settings that you can change to make it not auto logon when the computer is booted(like the "msconfig" comand). Each isp has a diff way of telling the computer to do this, usually in the internet connections folder or you might actually have to change a command somewhere in the isp setting to change this...
The easiest way to figure this out id to actually call your isp and ask how to change it or if you know or think you know what your doing you can figure it out yourself...
After you change this you have to make a shortcut on your desktop or w/e you want it that you actually have to click on to log onto the internet just as if you had dialup..
This way you can connect and disconnect at will w/o have to restart or any of that garb...


I hope this is more helpfull then my post above and didnt make it even worse when all the writing..lol
