I was just looking at some of my high lvl chars from the 1.9 patch and I thought about if cows were still around then my new accnts would be high lvls also. So I thought that if myself and some friends could start a poll on different websites around the Net then maybe Diablo will put the cow channels and the cows back to the difficulty they used to be and the exp they used to give in the 1.1 patch. Please leave your thoughts about this idea.

i thought they they made cows harder in 1.10 than in 1.09. i know that they nerfed the exp and i think drops though. i think it was a good idea to knock out the "1.09 cows" because it was just too easy to kill and too easy to lvl. thats my 3 cents, peace.

yeah. they brought back cows, but several things make cowing in 1.10 different. first off, they gave cows less xp so that's a big hit. second, the leech zone for xp was cut down to 2 screens. third, they killed power lvling. so if a lvl 80 kills cows for a lvl 20 the lvl 20 gets A LOT smaller % of the xp than the lvl 80 (altho the lvl 80 only gets a tiny ammount of xp bcuz when u surpass an enemies lvl by a certian amount u only get 2 xp per kill =\). that's why power lvling doesn work in 1.10 i personally like it bcuz it makes the game more difficult nad fun

I honestly like how it is now too. The cow lvl was made as a joke for those people that thought it existed in the original Diablo. But in .09 it was the main focus of the game. Blizz didnt want a "bonus level" to become the whole reason people played Diablo for. It took years to come up with the story for Diablo II and people prefered playing a lvl that probably took 15 minutes to think up and design.

lol thats right, but cows were so fun in 09, so i'd like them to bring back cows that would give you the same exp as baal runs so it would be equal, make their drops a little better, and possibly make more champion cows.

yeah but if cows gave you the same exp as baal runs, with the same -% to exp bonus, you would still need 8 players in a cow game, with you being the highest lvl to gain 1 million exp

i still cow in hell. their fun for merc but i stop before lvl 86 or whenever the experience starts going down, and i'm using a school comp, so unless you can beat a ViewSonic on a school server, with a non optic mouse (you probably can) this comp is faster
