I donno, I thought median was really awesome when you get on with the game. Lots of mods start out crappy in low-level play, but as you get up into Nightmare and Hell they get significantly cooler. Hell Unleashed was cool, that's true, but at the same time it is pretty much just like a harder version of D2.

Off topic, is there any way to harass this game into working on Vista? I love me some D2, but as far as I know, it doesn't work on Vista.

Try:

1.) Go into c:\program files\diablo II\ or wherever you have the game installed.

2.) Right click on "game.exe" and go to properties.

3.) Click on "Compatibility" tab

4.) Place a check in the box that says "Disable Desktop Composition"

5.) Click Apply. Click Ok.

6.) Run the game! It should load and play normally once this option is checked.

It runs fine on Vista (64-bit edition, even!).  Sharde and I were ripping it up on the LAN the other day.

Desktop composition doesn't need to be explicitly disabled.  Vista automatically disables it whenever Direct3D is initialized.

Because people are poor, or don't think the game is worth shelling out the money, or have other priorities and can't pay for it at the moment, etc.

Just because you don't see why, doesn't mean they don't have their own reasons.
This is going in my sig. :)

Anyway, to get this back on topic: D2 is awesome.

Sadly, though, they don't allow you to put a space in your character name.  I so wanted my pally's name to be "Pally Dean" but it was like oh hell no.

Also, setting /players 8 on a single player game in the first act is a very freaking good idea.  You get so much good loot and tons of experience, and the game is actually challenging enough that you might have to use a potion once in a while!  Yes, way.

YARRR, I BE SUPPORTIN' PIRACY YE SCURVY DAWGZ.

Yes.

Now let's stop talking about piracy and bad excuses to pirate games and talk about quite possibly the best game that came out in the year 2000, hm?

Quite possibly?

Anyway, /players 8 kicks serious ass. I absolutely love using that little function.

i don't see why people need to pirate

Just because you don't see why, doesn't mean they don't have their own reasons.

Now let's stop talking about piracy and bad excuses to pirate games

Because fuck apple.



I need to reinstall this game. I got the battlechest, but yeah, idk. Maybe I just didnt spend enough time to get into it, or am just too tired of grinding. :[


We pressed on. Shortly afterwards, we arrived in a poisonous, post-apocalyptic hell - a sprawling, toxic dumping ground stretching for a mile or two. This is the final resting place for your old TV, computer or mobile phone.

I JUST CREATED THE BEST DIABLO II MOD EVER.

Here's a screenshot:



You see that?  YOU CAN ACTUALLY TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FIVE AND A SIX?!  HOLY SHIT.  All Blizzard would have needed to do was change TWO PIXELS to do this (I spent the extra five seconds to put a bit of anti-aliasing on the text onoez).

DAMN, I KICK ASS.  IN FACT, I KICK SO MUCH ASS THAT I SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.
