You can now download version 2.00 of the mod.
This is a major version. It's goal is to add a whole new act to the game, as well as an update focused on monsters. Some skills have been balanced, and some bugs fixed.
Here are the two main features explained :
1. Increased challenge :
Overall, many people said to me that the mod was a little too easy. And they were right. So, in this update, many changes have been done to all monsters in the game. A new rank of monster have also been added, and Champions/Rares/Uniques monsters are now more a challenge to defeat. There will still be future improvements to monsters in later updates, and I will take feedbacks into account. I have also some projects to make veterans more interesting than what they are now. If you have any ideas to improve the monsters, they are welcome.
2. A whole new act :
A lot of time have passed since the very first version I had released on the Keep, and it was always an act 1 only mod. Now, you can acces a whole new act. There is still some things missings, such a souls from boss on this act, map variations, mystic formulas and runewords, but all of this will come in subsequents updates. I want to be sure people find act 2 fun before adding a lot of things I may have to change if they do not fit anymore. This new act is intended for players arround level 20, and they should finish it arround level 32. Again feedback is apreciated on this act !
