Diablo 2 LOD : Pimped

Supsqi

First of all, this will only interest Beasty and some other D2LOD-Heroes, the rest can go do something else as this will be a very boring read for you. I'm just writing this for some of the D2-people that wouldn't know about these cool features.

Anyway, I felt like playing D2 again so I installed it and I immediatly got annoyed by the same old storyline, and by the 800*600 resolution.

First thing I did was what I usually used to do : Install D2multires, this allows you to run D2 in any resolution you'd like ( see screenshot below ).

After that I installed Median Xl ( http://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/diablo2lordofdestruction/mod/34931.html ). This is an addon that adds new worlds, storylines, quests, monsters, items, etc ..

If you haven't played D2 for a while, and you didn't know about these add-ons then it's going to feel like a new game, except that it won't suck like most new games.

Enjoy, grtz ;)

Disclaimer : D2Multires only works with 1.12 and it usually doesn't work when you log in to Battlenet, it's still nice to have in the SP or over TCP/IP though.

Over 300 new skills in general, several new skilltrees, it's an entire new system.

Random screenshot, you can see some of the Barbarian-Skills ( the flames emitting from my axe across the entire field, or my wolf companions ).

Can anyone remember a game like this

It is like Diablo, it started on a ship though, you were asleep and you had a fucked up dream
it was on the PS1. I, 18, was about 6 when I was playing it and can't remember what it's called :<<<
It was sorta zeldaesque???
quit like 2 years ago, 10k fg @ jsp and 3 perfect chars (hammerdin, light es sorc, zealot ) on softcore ladder

but then blizzard locked my chars because of botting & mh :<

waiting for D3 to come out, got high hopes but doubt it'll be any good :/
i think blizzard gave up on banning ppl for botting. I use the same d2nt bot and chars since 1-2 years and do some bot runs from time to time with 4 chars in the same game (2x hammerdin, 2x light sorc) without any problems :D
Parent
ah they smartened up. I just remember a massive BattleNet sweep they did, all of my chars were banned and so were most of my friends. Lost all motivation to re-start after that
Parent
only got banned once.. in 1.09 i think.. i had lots of ith items and bugged items tho :S

well with 10k fg its np to start from the scratch again :) the keys are banned for 1 month.. 100fg for lvl 90 rush.. 100fg for a whole mf-char equipment :P

but all that mfinding stuff doesnt make fun anymore.. only super über perfect items are worth some fg.. i only play pvp or random chars (like no items or strange builds,...).. so things you could do without any fg/items :)
Parent
same, friend and i started it again, are currently in act 2 nightmare afaik, with necro scelletons only xD
(and we're still struggeling with the choice what to invest stat points into, since we do not really need anything, not even mana^^)
Parent
gief me your jsp acc!

won't do you any good, donated all my fg to trusted friends :x
Parent

Parent

Parent
ik heb het verkeerde examen geleerd :/
Parent
serieus ofwa?
Parent
Ja, het ergste is dat tweede keer is. Verkeerd overgenomen en nie meer nagekeken..
Parent
tzal wel weer plezant zijn op vent zeker :p
fu ;)
Parent
there are lots of other mods too.. some of them also have private servers :) so you can play online with/against random people in a new diabl2 world

Why dont you try the normal d2 with some very strange class in singleplayer / tcp-ip with friends? its even more fun :P
the biggest fun with friends is Iron man contest :P
Parent
so true :D but its hard to find 7 guys :(
@edit: 7 guys which also dont suck in d2 :P
Parent
Didn't know there was such a thing, I always played like that with 2 friends though :D
Parent
Nice, I'll try this with my cousin sometime.
Thanks Kevin!
i have been playing D2:LoD 1.10 for like 3 years (I even managed to sell my old account for like 100e :P ), after that I took break for over 4 years. Year ago I was extremely bored before state exams, so I installed it again along with one of the coolest mod I have ever seen, namely Avalon (its being developed by one czech, I made a website for it http://www.filus.alexpension.sk but its only in cz). I was thinking of Median XL too (server I was playing on had 2 realms actually, Avalon and Median XL), but its too far from my liking, basically any mod which doesnt have poisonmancer is not gonna work for me :P
where did your sell your acc? i wonder if i should sell my accounts :S

1x nearly perf. pb nec (pvp) lvl 90
1x nearly perf. hybrid assa (pvp) lvl 90
2x perf. mf-light sorc lvl 98
2x perf mf-hammerdins lvl 97
1x nearly perf. hardoce ele druide lvl 85
lots of mules and empty lvl 90 chars (half equipped BvC, Trap assa, auradin,..)
Parent
I got contacted by some czech guy, he said he is interested in my items and he can offer some money (you know, fat kids with rich parents, they dont know the real value of money). I was kinda shocked but I said a price, he said ok and it was done, was kinda surprised that he actually send money :D. I had there perf 95 hammerdin, perf 95 blizz sorc, basically perf 97 poisonmancer, perf 93 trap/ww pvp assassin and lot of 90+ chars with a lot of exceptional stuff (sc's, skillers, rw's + I had every single elite uniq item including tyraels might). Funny part was that he actually wanted me to keep playing, so he said I can keep items from one char. So I kept my precious poisonmancer (http://www.filus.alexpension.sk/index.php?site=nekro) and started all over again, that necro needed rebuild anyway :P
Parent
no lvl 99? rofl noop!!!!
Parent
nah.. only lveld once a char to lvl 99 and then got banned :P
Parent
its d2 :S either u have retards paying € for nice items or you have millions of guys botting for items.. and for pvp you need all those perfect items which the others have too :(
Parent
got bored by this also =(
maybe start wow or lineage2
I'm playing wow with Eddo, it's good but I can't compare it to D2.
Parent
well my fault it just should be a reply to flop ^^
Parent
Diablo <333
ik zag je vandaag stiekem online komen, busted ban inc soon
Parent
Ja, die mod ff proberen =D Hijs wel nice =))))
Parent
sure, dikke cheats testen zul je bedoelen
Parent
