Diablo II Windows, Mac game

I read this forum over and was shocked to see that someone actually claimed to play D3, it seems Daiblo III is like a mystical beast with one horn on it's head, lots of talk about it but no s/s's.

Hey Brother Laz do you think Blizzard will ever make Diablo III public, if not will you?

I really enjoyed your 2008 Median Mod v1.56, very well done and very inspiring, so much so that a couple of us at HallsOfPain have taken up patch editing ourselves.

ok this is gettin me a little fustrated because im on a mac and it says PC/MAC and it doesnt work at all it gives me this crapy zip file that messes it up and zips dont work for mac and so if any1 else nows how to fix or is on mac and nos a good mod e-mail me
static_boy54@yahoo.com

hi iam using windos me and i cant seem to do ne thing when i dounload paches and mods. when i get the zip file i open it and theres nothing in it... plz help ...e-mail me ...theo2d@yahoo.com

Used to be a program that allowed you to edit monster numbers drop rates ect ect in the maps.. Had it a long time ago but I don't remember what it was called, cant seem to find it either.. Wanted to make the npcs harder on every act.. sigh lol

Not 'every' mod is for 1.10. Median 2008 and others are for 1.11, because we do understand that forcing people to downgrade to a previous patch is a big middle finger to the player.

Oh Sh*t just found out that the link i sent was not functioning SRY!

I've just found out about modding d2 and it seems like it's very funny. but there's one problem though, everybody says and mods with patch_d2.mpq but i don't understand how. i open patch_d2.mpq with MPQEditor but all i find in the file "patch_d2.mpq" is .xxx, .dc6 and .wav files. How do i mod ? PLEASE HELP!

Everybody is complaining about that all mods are made for 1.10. if you cant find where to download it, here's the link for pc Ftp.blizzard.com

Many hardcore RPG players got pretty ****** at the all the rave reviews and accolades this game got on it's own merit, Baldur's Gate this and that they went on about was a true rpg this wasn't, well.

To be frank, this actually is an RPG, the thing is it's actually more geared towards character builder than most, maybe forgettting about all else, but... Blizzard ain't dumb, this is a game company which isn't about pampering and massaging hardcore gamers egos and drives, you see Blizzard is a business and a big business and all it's about is ultimately making money by giving you the player something in return for your hard earned money; it so being it means they want to appeal to masses of players more than they care about whether they appeal to the true hardcore player which actually is seeing less and less games geared towards them in the coming years, since a game is taking more man hours and substantially more millions to produce.

So what do we have here? does it mean it sucks just because it isn't hardcore to the sinew and bone?
does anyone who reads Thomas Mann won't ever read Pynchon or God forbid Stephen King ? of course they will, maybe it's not their favorite reading, but when fun comes into the equation the choice widens.

You know your broiled chicken breasts and baked potatoes and rice is much better and healthier than a fat greasy burger, but does that mean you never drooled over a burger? and isn't a burger tasty? sure it is, a burger can be as tasty if not more than the best of the more subtle and refined cuisine.

There's a place for hardcore and there's a place for pure undiluted crazy obsessive fun such as of which this game is made of. Sometimes reading lots of inane absurd and lackluster lines from your average multiple NPC isn't what is should be, story lacking or story absent as is the case with even many trully lauded great RPGs, sometimes all the player wants is action, mindless and intense such as in this game; the huge and greedy choices which appeal to the basest of senses and makes you hooked that can be great, that is also a simple and smart move towards a brilliant idea for a game, couple that with technical competence in design, programing and overall balance and any game done that way will sell like hot cakes.

I wasted months on this years ago and just thinking about it makes me want to revisit the virtual place, feel the obsessiveness, the greediness, the hook it can put on you, the player.

This is a fine, fine game, not something to be played in a million years, for there will surely be chess for that, but still you have a couple more decades untill something has yet to come along and beat this for what it is, a great character builder, and certainly in that sense, it is a true RPG game at heart.

OMG i have this zy-el mod and i can barely pass the first quest and im playing since 2 days . And what the f**k is with thos trash items in your inventory at the beginning ?
