Having played the mod a whole lot back in the day it really is very different than the base game, with a whole lot of effects spammed all over the place which was a detriment for me at the timetons of new enemies etc, and with builds named Crossbow Necromancer, Melee Sorceress and Treewarden Druid, you can already feel just how different the game is from the original. If you're not a huge fan of servers and prefer to go solo, and you definitely can here as well, but the drop rates are tuned towards trading, so you're almost certainly not going to be able to get everything you want as a solo self-found player.Īnother note for you mod-savvy D2ers out there, apparently this latest version and a few before it don't support Pluggy, the nigh-indispensable infinite stash addon, which is making players play an older version of the mod.

You can check out the patch notes here if you're already a Median connoisseur, but basically there's a whole lot of tweaks to the endgame quests, classes and items. Today we have a new and huge patch for probably the best, biggest and most popular mod for D2 out there, Median XL or Median XL: Sigma as the more recent versions have been called.Ĭalling it a mod might be a bit of an understatement, however, as it's basically a complete overhaul and rework, with massive amounts of new skills 35 new ones PER CLASSitems thousands, craftingmechanics, content 40 endgame quests, new zones like Heaven and one quest actually has you traveling back in time and playing as Diablo while trying to defeat the Bear Tribe in order to break into the Worldstone Chamber. We've recently talked about the Path of Diablo mod that improves the game by adding and tuning some skills items and features, but still keeps things as close as possible to the original LoD version of the game and the new season that's come out for it recently.
