The AI War Diablo2:Median XL til Torchlight 2 group
« on: June 09, 2012, 10:01:37 am »
Disappointed with Diablo 3? I think we should all play some Median XL together until Torchlight 2 is released.

Since TL2 still doesn't have a release date, it'll give us something to do for another month or so.

For those who don't know, Median XL is a total conversion modification for Diablo 2, which reinvents all of the classes, while balancing them and making all the skills unique and worthwhile. The difficulty also goes up quite significantly and hundreds of new monsters have been added.

So in order to play you'll need:

1. A fresh copy of Diablo 2 + LoD (PM me or add me on Steam if you need help with this).
2. Diablo 2 patch 1.13d - http://ftp.blizzard.com/pub/diablo2exp/patches/PC/LODPatch_113d.exe
3. Median XL - http://modsbylaz.hugelaser.com/

We'll be playing over Direct IP (I'll be hosting) so official CD keys not required.

Add me on Steam as Wingflier if you want to play!

edit:  Updated the requirements.

You have to be running 1.12a.  If you're running the latest version (1.13) it won't work.

Sounds like fun. I'll just re-install D2 and get the stuff required. Never tried Median XL so this should be interesting.

The requirements have changed since I created this thread.  Please observe the updated requirements.

We will be using the latest patch and no Resolution Hack.

Thanks.

Just loaded the game up ready to go and I have no idea what the hell any of the skills are about.

Yay!

When we last left off we had a paladin a barbarian and a necromancer going. An awesome team.

The barbarian is like Lord Vader, he is a trouble shooter. He goes in, kills the threat, and comes back out. But only for 1v1 is he god like.

The paladin is a beacon of hope. With strong auras and damage and survivability he is great.

I'm the necromancer of course. I have 18 goons running around and are a mass of destruction. Many a time zerg wars break out between enemy mobs and my mobs. Between my mobs and my mercanary wizard, the screen just becomes plunged into chaos as 40 mobs are fighting each other. I clear out everything but bosses easy. But those bosses I need my friendly neighborhood  barbarian and paladin to save the day.


Of course, more people are welcomed.
Life is short. Have fun.
