Is this the place to talk about other non-ES Diablo II mods? As this month is an exciting time, 2 big mod updates First off is Aftermath a hard yet balanced mod that seeks to make all areas of the game interesting and tries to force gear changes in response to areas you're going to. It got updated to 3.0 (and now 3.0.3). Next is Median XL which is finally getting another new release. Big changes to Median XL include * In-Game NPCs will reveal maps (no need for maphack) * No more corpses, no dropping items on death * Auto-gold pickup  * Damage/Health cap removal * Speed rework (both attack/cast) of many item types Though the median XL one isn't out for a week. I'm just super excited that Diablo II mods are still kicking around with updates.

Bob NewSCART posted:I've never tried median XL but it sounds cool except reallllly loving complex to the point of convolution. Am I wrong and it just seems really daunting at first ? Uh yes and no it does layer a lot of poo poo on top. So while it can be daunting you can pick up most things very quickly. Then the last bit is where it gets weird and annoying interactions with the ubers and challenges again.

If you are playing on battle.net, make a new passworded game, sit in it for 5? (or was it 10 minutes) to make it slightly perm. Drop items, logonto mule, pick up items. Welcome to the lovely hell that is muling!

Garfu posted:I got it to run by just downloading the launcher and installing it to a fresh D2 install directory. thats the reason I like it, the insanity of crafting items is not why I play these games I'd rather rely on RNG to get good drops (or some recipes to help correct RNG), not full crafting of gear. The inventory management is some of the worst aspects of these types of games for me. It offers some interesting content especially once you start getting into ubers especially this release which was finally able to remove the invuln shields that were previously used. Having new skills (separated into 6 distinct sets of 5 per character) definitely draws me in to. My current character is a SpearZon who uses a Phys -> Magic skill which releases weird rear end spirit vultures from an enemy I hit with it. I also use blood orbs dropped by another skill to heal and can run over orbs dropped by my main skill to gain fury which gives my skill a AoE boost. It also has a decently straightforward path to upgrade with the tiered unique system. Once you get near the end game there is also crafting if you are inclined to create more specific gear. downsides are, no stockers and it does have some of the inventory management issues all modded D2 uses.

Guys I have a problem that apparently 80k other people have, where I keep listening to the Diablo II OST. It's so loving good.

Big Mad Drongo posted:These changes look cool, but it's a drat shame they haven't fixed summon necro or completely revamped holy caster paladin. If you're talking about the innate skill everyone has, that rises in duration as you level. Otherwise I'm not entirely sure what buff you're talking about.

Ineptitude posted:Where are the good sources of information for Median XL? Cain armour is likely referring to the stuff Griswold drops in Tristram. Runewords are made by filling up all but the last socket with jewels then dropping the Rune into the white socketed base. The median xl doc page has a cube recipes section that is very good to have https://docs.median-xl.com/doc/items/cube Cerepol fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Sep 19, 2020 |

Szurumbur posted:That's mainly what I'm afraid of - they are saying they won't fix some bugs which community has managed to live with, but there are serious design (or, at the very least, documentation) flaws in Diablo 2, and treating D2R as the game everyone already knows and have played is a mistake, imo. Besides, the original original Diablo 2 didn't have respecs and runes, right? Runes especially are things people really seek in their games, and I'm very grateful for the ability to respec, even if limited - and I'm sure those were criticized at the beginning, since they invalidate "decisions", which is something the Diablo 2 players really want to be able to make (and things MrLlama really underlined in his video about D2R and it's changes. Kinda funny one, since the ability to play on consoles with the controller was a "meh, I guess it's nice" change;) So far aside from gold auto pickup VV really hasn't done anything gameplay altering. I'm not surprised i would think D2R is going to be very much current D2 with a new graphical layer and perhaps they try and change things in additional patches down the line

Did they ever clarify if you would still be able to create/run mods or did that die at some point?

to be expected, but after 20 years D2 LOD doesn't have the draw it used to even with a new coat of paint. So far modding from the beta seems to be mostly texture replacements. I'm curious what it'll look like post release

Artelier posted:Originally asked in the Steam thread, but asking here since I figure I'll get a better response: pyromance posted:MXL has free respecs up to level 50 and there's a pretty steady stream of new content as you level up, but I think some of it could be pretty difficult to do blind once you get to ~110-115 (probably some of it before then even). Afaik its now the 3 den of evil quests plus the "belladonna potion" which is a rare drop but not too rare and farmable with a character far enough.
