DIABLO 2 MEDIAN XL ULTIMATIVE ONLINE MOD

It's the perfect mix of classic Diablo 2 nostalgia with just the right injection of quality of life fixes and new features to feel interesting.Ģ2.nov.2008: Median XL released!25.feb.2012: Median XL 2012 v005 available (latest patch)05.nov.2013: Hi, good to see this mod is still going strong -Laz official site:The main attraction of Median XL is the brand new skill trees, 30 skills per class, providing a whole new experience. It's a cool system that should definitely ease the numbing pain of boss runs or cow farming.I've been playing Path of Diablo all morning and having a blast. Every relic has a tier and the higher it is the more dangerous and rewarding the dungeon. 'These dungeons offer an optional alternative end-game aimed for high level characters (90+) where they can farm difficult content for experience and loot,' reads. Once players are level 80 and have beaten the game on Hell difficulty, they can find relics and use them at altars to enter new and incredibly difficult dungeons. This is a pretty esoteric feature from Path of Exile, but it does wonders for making melee builds as fun as their magic-using peers.One other major addition is a complete reworking of Diablo 2's endgame to make it more varied like Path of Exile. Hell, I like all his ideas! But to reiterate, my prediction is first few patches will be a bumpy ride.Another really cool idea is melee splash jewels, which give any single-target melee attack a splash effect. I love what Marco is doing with the mercs - what a fantastic idea! I'm not sure how I feel about removing the max resists aspect Laz built up, but we'll see how that goes, however if Marco is putting them on new charms in new uber levels, then it makes more sense. Ultimately though, talk is talk and Laz had a lot of great ideas too, so until I see some fruit from this idea tree, I'll still have doubts. But there's a lot of talk going around, and if multires works for Sigma, for me that would be the biggest factor in me picking it up since I've yet to get multires working correctly with d2se and PlugY (which are basically requirements for playing D2 now, IMO ). Without some better graphics, I honestly don't think I'll even give Sigma a try sadly. I think all the new features will be exciting to play, but to be perfectly honest here, I'm not sure I can stomach another round with D2 unless Marco drastically alters the game, and for me that means Multires must work.

But enough about my experience rant more to the point: That's absurd! Part of the joy of D2 is in the grind, not just for farming gear, but getting to the next level of excellence, and while Laz may have balanced 2012 perfectly, Ultimative has way more content to explore and consequently, the experience gained per content is way too high! This, IMO detracts greatly from the game it's a mistake Laz implemented that I hope Marco corrects. of this you can be absolutely sure! How do you balance the 128-extra uber levels Marco is wanting to add? I think the experience needs to be ramped back down to 1.A-1.Z levels, because as of now, I hit clvl 120 by Act 1 Destruction (I don't use maphack or anything like it, so it takes me awhile to find my way around) on that note, I almost couldn't complete my clvl 90 challenge, and not from lack of trying, but from gaining too much experience just casually playing the game. There will be overpowered items, monsters, skills, etc the first few patches of Sigma. The way Marco is changing things are super exciting to be sure, but remind me a lot of when MXL was being created and all the growing pains it had. years to get MXL 2012 to the point it is at now. He will have a lot of balance issues to deal with. MarcoNecro is really adjusting a lot of the gameplay. (12-09-2012, 03:39 PM)MonTy Wrote: I don't have my hopes up too much. I've quit D2 so many times and restarted, that I know I'll play again when Sigma is released. Wanted to ask, what do you think of Ultimative and the development of Sigma?
