Becoming a standard event, the Blizzard forums are down again, having "crashed" on Saturday night. No posts made will be displayed until Monday, so refrain from posting "Is this working?" or "test" posts, to try to keep the forums from being spammed beyond belief.
Diablo Bugs

Although I have a policy of not "hyping up" my own posts, I can break it here because it's not "mine." It's a list of gameplay bugs in Diablo that the DSF regs put together many months ago when version 1.07 was in development. While I did assemble the list, I didn't "write" it. Nice loophole, eh? Anyway, if you've ever wondered how many bugs there are in the game and specifically what they are, check this out. I guarantee that if you've never seen this buglist before you'll learn a few things about the game. And if you know of a bug that isn't on the list, post it!
Tricks with Flash

has a revealing post about one of Diablo's more buggy spells, Flash. It turns out that the damage techniques discussed by
in his famous Teleflash strategy apply to monsters who cast Flash (the mage types). Be sure to check it out for a good strategy tip in the conclusion. An interesting twist to this is that warriors who like to Telekill will always wind up in a bad spot...
The Eternal Debate

If you've been following the DSF lately, you're quite aware of the latest renewal of the ancient PK debate. An old time legit PK, Wagon Dragon, has gotten into it as well. Although he's a little misinformed of some of the events of the DSF lately, he's still stirring up the pot rather well.

The Editorials section is born, and I've made a post on the DSF asking for submissions. Get up on that soapbox! As for Diablo news, well, there hasn't been much lately, sorry. There's nothing much going on. :-)
classic Teleflash strategy is now up in the Strategy Section. Thanks, Dr. D!

Rand'Al is looking for suggestions for an up-and-coming mod he's developing with Stu. If you have a good idea for something you've always wanted to see in a mod, let him know on the DSF.
New V&K Hellfire!

That's right, Varaya and Khan have released their new 7/22 mod for Hellfire. They also promise a new mod version for Diablo very soon. What will be new in the next version?
We will put in a "base item disabling feature", i.e. some base items cannot be used by some classes.
...go to all of you who have sent in suggestions for the site. As some of you noticed, the more, um, "snazzy" background color was replaced with this more subdued one. Yes, it was driving me up the wall, too. As for other news, well, it's a weekend, and not much happens then. If you have something to report, please send it in to me. If you run a site and it was updated, let me know. If you see something neat going on in the scene, let me know. I can't be everywhere at once, although I try pretty hard. Thanks again!

The Beastmaster variant takes its first struggling steps (alright, it was shoved out the door by
) on the Asylum message board. Also, the father of variants himself,
, started a simple poll: What character are you going to start first in Diablo II?

The BDSC is now a public site, as I mentioned it on the DSF. Thanks to all of you out there who have helped me get this going.
"Go Suck an Egg, Landru"

Thursday, 22 July 1999
Added the Scene Info section to reduce the mystery of some of the things in the scene, such as the mysterious and enigmatic Landru. Also, finished up Charis' Low-AC Warrior and Equipment Guide along with Armin's BNM Tips and Tricks. Both are in the Strategy section. Now it's up to the DSF'ers to send me or supply me with some good stuff - I know you all have juicy strat sitting around! Get it immortalized here, I'll have it up in a flash. The strategy section is so small, and needs your help...*begin infomercial* :-)
has a great reply to a question about how Diablo calculates additional spell damage on weapons. He's also looking for something, though. To quote:
By the way, anyone have Crystallions post about the "bug" with fire and lighting arrows? If so, I would appreciate if anyone could either repost it or mail it to me as I am eager to compare it to my own understaning as I am completeling a battle chapter for my Guide that will be a step by step explanation of how combat is handled. It will also explain things like the above about fire and lightning melee atatcks (some other special cases like Mana Shield and Charges).
Since he forgot to leave his email in the DSF post, here it is:
. The shame of it is that if this site existed when Crystalion's post was originally made, it would have been preserved here! :-)
