Diablo 2 being remade on starcraft 2 engine - C&D letter in 3... 2...

[Mastermind]

For Blizzard (and for many others) there's some clear correlation between modernity and lack of atmosphere. It's like with every polygon-count increase, they lose a little bit of the charm that made the game good to begin with.

Put the video's audio on mute and play this instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2evIg-aYw8

Warcraft 3 is a very shitty game despite being low polygon. Probably their shittiest game, I couldn't stomach WoW enough to decide if it's shittier.

DONATE TO MY PATREON and make Diablo great again!

I'd rather Blizzard let the modders fix D3

D3 is good as its own game, it doesn't need fixing.

Someone give him a Bliztard tag as well.

Why?

My thoughts exactly.

All I would want from Diablo 2 nowadays is official high res support, some UI improvements and a shared stash. Then I would happily return to playing it. Don't need no graphics improvements, it's still a good looking game, if run on higher resolution.

It's a great, great game. The problem is that anyone who gets gud has this expression stamped on their face and it's not all that attractive.

There is a mod for shared stash and other features - PlugY. To hell with Median and all the other "multiply numbers by 100 and attach lightning bolts to everything" mods.
There is a hi-res mod as well, but the game's AI turns off outside the usual visible area and it looks and plays silly at resolutions above vanilla.

Getting Oculus as a Sorceress for the first time from a Mephisto run. I will never forget this feeling.
Running with my hammerdin on a bhaalrun for the xxx time, I still have this image implanted in my mind.
Trying to get that ethereal armor zoded, what a pain WHAT A PAIN.

That's how good Diablo 2 was.

I used to play with high res mod at 720p before patch 1.12 (i think) came and it stopped working. Everything seemed fine with it. Higher field of view was heavan and I didn't notice any weirdness with enemies. So there's a way to enable higher res on latest patch now? Might have to check it out. I remember program called "atma" that worked great for stashing items. You didn't even need to have game launched to transfer items between chars. But I meant that I would like to have shared stash as actual in game option so it would work with non single player characters.

 

[Kaucukovnik]

PlugY has ingame shared stash with essentially unlimited space and also allows you to store unlimited gold in there. You can reset your stats and skills (also accidentally, so much fun) and it unlocks some multiplayer-only encounters for singleplayer. I'm sure there is more I don't remember.

Not sure about the resolution mod, but it was quite a while ago when I tried it. I suppose it saw some further development since then.

To hell with YOU.

Anyway, here is a decent rundown of D2 mods.

Should we play Diablo 3 instead?

 

[Makabb]

why the fuck would anyone wanna play diablo 2 in 2016

Because there is nothing else?

Diablo 2 is still objectively the best hack n slash that you can replay over and over.

My point was that 3 had less atmosphere than 2, given that 2 had no polygons.

Spoiler

Yes! This is what Diablo II needed fot perfection!
I don't see tons of item graphics ripped from other games though.

 

[United Nations]

Looks like utter shit.

And so does that BG Reloaded trailer FYI.

The most pointless thing since How To Learn French was translated into French.

Yes. Actually you could play any of the new generation diablo clones with active devs (D3, PoE, Grim Dawn) and be satisfied. They're not as good as D2 but if you've played D2 to death they're more than good enough.

 

[DraQ]

Diablo 2 is the greatest game of its kind and Median XL: Ultimative is one of the greatest mods ever made.

To hell with Median and all the other "multiply numbers by 100 and attach lightning bolts to everything" mods.

Ok, so let's agree that Diablo 2 is the greatest Shitty MMO-Lite there is and Median is the best epilepsy s(t)imulator mod to date.
