Diablo multiplayer, where's save?
Matthew Levy
My buddy and I tried modem connection for the first time. My system
crashed. Is there anyway to bring back the game, or do you just have
to start all over. Yes, I know the characters are kept, but what
about the Dungeon?
Thanks for your help

It's kind of a neat game, but I won't be playing it again multiplayer,
which means I won't be buying it.

There are shortcuts (catacombs and Hell) to get to the deeper levels
quicker. Only must attain a certain level before you can use these.
I heartily recommend you reconsider and get this game.

I'm not sure about that level thing.
I created a multiplayer game as a 6th Level Sorceror and ALL the
shortcuts (Catacombs, Caves and Hell) were available from the start.
So I guess it's up to you where to go.

Well, if you had a higher level player in the game you could go into the
shortcuts. Otherwise, even though they appear, you cannot go into them
until you've attained the right level. Just try it. It will give you a
message saying not until you're such and such level.

Good gaming!

You have got to be kidding me. What is it with gaming companies and
multiplayer save. First Deadlock, and now Diablo.
I was going to buy Diablo. Two copies. I was looking forward to
hacking my way through the dungeon over many evenings with friends at
my house. I do not want to have to replay the levels every time we
re-start.
Another promising game down the tubes due to a stupid oversight. Is
it really that hard for these companies to put in multiplayer saves?!?

It is true that you cannot save your game during a multiplayer
contest but you do keep all your inventory and skills. Also, there are
places in town when you can take "shortcuts" to lower parts of the
dungeon without having to go down level by level. For instance, the tomb
east of the church will put you in the catacombs on level 6. The caves
to the west of town will put you in the caves on level 9. You can use
these to your advantage. While it kind of sucks that you can't save your
multiplayer game, these "shortcuts" do a good job of making up for it
IMHO.

refuse to buy the game. Sure there is no multi player save, but you don't have
to start from the beginning of the dungeon every time. There are shortcuts
to level 5 (catacombs), 10 (caves), and 14/15 (hell) ... i think i got the
levels correct.
I kind of like the fact there is no save since it kind of adds to the
adventure of the game. You always have to worry about being killed. When
you die (from monsters), you can show up back in town with all your backpack
stuff (but you lose the stuff you are holding).
Now if it's a permanent die, then I would want a multiplayer save but it's not.
It's worth the money. Go out and buy it.
See you on battle.net

It saves you character when you exit so you cant use saved players to duplcate
moeny and magic items.
As for playing the same levels over and over, you can enter the underworld
different ways and start at different levels. I.E. enter at the tomb and you
are on level 5. also realize that the levels are randomized each time you
start a new game.
