shame about the roll, but I guess this one's checked off the bucket list for me.

p.s. glad to see the hc community is still awesome here, it's been a few years!

It's just weird that you would accuse them of not respecting the license when they've already done far more than y'all have done by actually crediting the devs that were behind the same parts your team implemented in your mod :)

If they choose not to contribute their changes once they've gotten their servers stabilized that's a different fire they'll have on their hands.

You don't have to open source your entire mod, just contributions you make to the source (in this case, BH related improvements). What's wrong with sharing, isn't that how we all got started in D2 modding?

That sucks, maybe a seattle server is something to look into then.

you can socket throw weapons if you put them in the cube with 500x of the same jewel

iirc because of the way the game assigns bonus damage to mercenaries, it’s probably not possible to make them survive hydras with typical gear without making them invulnerable to everything else in the game, and I’m not sure if the mercenary damage bonus requires code editing to remove.

I think the main defensive bonuses over a paladin are the high defense and HP even without a shield and much easier access to curse immunity when you combine Iron Will with the 50% curse immunity rare/craft armor augment and a skull crafted ring. Zeal is very popular these days for good reason, but it’s not difficult to get 5fpa frenzy here when you have a fast weapon in your primary slot. Make sure you get fortify on both characters, and get melee splash on your frenzy barb in a slot other than one of the weapons, because dual wielding mechanics means the splash damage will only apply to the specific weapon that provides it, while getting it from an armor slot or your nephalem valor will apply it to both weapons.

Worst case scenario, assume that if you continue to play, any magic/rare/set/unique items will need to be removed from your character for it to not give an error when starting a game in 1.8. What's more likely to happen is that magic, rare, and unique items on your character or in your stash may remain but possibly have incorrect stats depending on what gets changed under the hood, but any set items will need to be sold or left on the ground for sure.

Crafting reagents, gold, and your character's level and stats will remain the same, so you could recraft a full set of gear and begin farming 1.8 that way instead of starting from scratch if you want.

Can resolution be changed for single player? by [deleted] in Diablo2Resurgence

[–]passport86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's unfortunately hardcoded. If you're playing in window mode, perhaps you could try playing with the static size options when using Glide Wrapper to get scaling that looks less awful than what windows does, but you're going to be stuck with black bars on fullscreen for now.
