My dream version of D2R ( I am actualy creating it with modding)

General Discussion
61

Would this change mean that level 96+ would farm here (with keys) instead of Baal or Diablo?

These are the kinds of changes the devs should have been making. More creative monsters and challenges.

If they just had someone with D2 knowledge on the team, the game would have been way better.

62

Yes its possible, there is better experience and i also wanted to make uber zones more challenging.

I have more plans for that definitely. Some monsters with claws could have open wounds, i was thinking about +slow on attack for spiders ā€¦ stuff like that, If you have some coold ideas , you can share it here :slight_smile:

I would love to be on team to actualy push D2R to be better for everyone :slight_smile:

Out of curiosity

Based on your knowledge of modding this game

Is there a way to know how many monsters are left in the game or to count how many you have killed so far?

Curious how hard it is to make king of Hells

Where the more monsters you kill the harder the remaining ones become (like pcountā€™s +xp/life/dmg/loot/resist)

64

This is a good idea. Iā€™m curious, I never paid attention to monster stats in the game, but how many monsters in D2 have open wounds? Please donā€™t tell me itā€™s 0

I dont think its possible to tell how many is left. Because monsters do spawn in certain range around player. But it should be possible to make kill counters. I have seen it in some D2R mods. I never did it myself so idk if it was something hardcoded or softcoded as hardcoded stuff would be impossible in D2R.

Probably would be possible if previous thing is possible.

Nah, I dont know about any monster having open wounds.

D2R Mod by Zax version 1.08

I made last few changes to sorceress skills and rebalanced damage of some of them. I am pretty much done with sorc and happy with changes. I have only additional idea to rework back Thunderstom to be working different so I might change the from Lighting Storm back to Thunder Storm to be more close to older skill but a lot more viable. I am also pretty much done with paladin but balancing his skill will require some playtests.

I will be focusing little bit more on item changes and getting together ideas for Barbarian changes.

With all those unique upgrade

Have you delved a bit in the cube recipes? Are they are to modify or create?

Sure, i am making them via cube for screenshots.

I also made mod where you can get any item from vendors and by using cube, it has like 400 new recipe lines. UI made it for testing builds and stuff.

73

Very nice Zax, when you see a unique drop, it should be a moment of excitement knowing that it will provide some sort of ā€˜uniqueā€™ utility such as the ones that you added.

I would like to suggest rework for spear. All spear should can wield either by 1 hand (less damage) or 2 hand (full damage). Shield/spear style fighting are very common in battle field.

why remove fleeing from Howltusk?

I love usne it with rattlecage to get high fear and knockback on a bowzon.

76

I didnt want multiple helms with fear and face of horror mask aldeady have it too.

77

but the fear witht he knockback on howltusk is greatness for range. T_T

78

Well i think design of helm didnt click well together with bonuses it had, it had knockback and fear, that means nonsters wont hit you much right? But at the same time it has mana when hit and dmg reduction. So i was thinking that without fear monsters might touch you more often so these two bonuses will be actualy useful more.

Its not exactly helm for amazon anyway with high str requirement.

79

Finez, bully. Have it your way, in your mod. ugh, struts away all sassy

80

You just dont let it go ::grin: ok what if i will give the helm 25% chance to howl when monsters hits you? Is that good compromise?
