Diablo 2: Median XL Ultimative

[Akratus]

If you've played vanilla it's really not worth it. Just go play a real rpg.

What's the best 1.F9 sub-version?

 

[Lim-Dûl]

Why butcher everything that is good about the necro and replace his iconic skills - corpse explosion, curses, bone wall, teeth - with lame crossbow skills and arcane sanctuary lightning spires? Some of the additions like new monster sprites are cool but why harass the old man like this?

I read somewhere - I forget where - that this mod was intended to be played with players 8. Does anyone have the source for that claim?

Not in my experience.

I only ever played the older versions which have several different ways to modify MF% and difficulty. It's balanced beautifully for single-player. Whatever Marco did with online play in sigma might have changed that however.

madbringer ?

It is absolutely not balanced around players 8. You can try to solo it as such as an additional challenge but I can't imagine completing some of the ubers in p8 without already having endgame items, the mod is hard enough as it is for vanilla solo.

I got to act 4 with players 8. So far the difficulty seems to scale well with character level except the bosses are tedious because of their high health and damage.

Where can I find more information on version 1.F9, on items and mechanics? All that seems left are forum posts about much later versions.

I'm doing summoning ubers where you turn into a boss (Baal, Diablo) with melee assassin. The bosses' melee attack frames are terrible, making my skills and items nearly unusable. I could respec for these challenges but that's not a satisfying way to do this. Does anyone know if the modder intended to sodomize melee builds for these ubers or am I missing something?

There will be some minor variations, but a lot of this is accurate for 1.F9

Thanks Gregz. I knew about those but I could refer to the changelog more.

That feeling when your minmaxed whirlwind assassin is slower and frailer than your sorc or necro using random items you picked up while levelling the assassin

Also pretty sad that so few people on this forum dedicated to RPGs are playing this great mod, possibly one of the best mods ever made

You're sad that people on an RPG forum are interested in playing RPGs instead of D2 mods? ... k.

It's pretty sad that people on an RPG forum aren't interested in playing great ARPGs like Median XL

It's pretty sad that the Gauntlet revivals never took off.

I am installing 1.F9b again as we speak. No Plugy. Can't wait, will probably play a Sin.
