Right you are Zhar - and my sorc is 91 now.

Haha, nice.
I still remember the first time I beat Nilithak with my bud, we had to bring in a level 90 or so sorc to save our asses, we got completely raped by the wyverns.
Those rats... my god I hated those things.
It's really quite sad that not many people play ES anymore, seems everyone has migrated over to MXL.
I really can't stand MXL :/.
I still have occasional problems with those damn wyverns - for some reason they kick my butt sometimes. But yeah, your first time killing Nila is awesome. After that, if you arn't too tired, because it takes forever to get there, you are in the mindset that you can kill-em-all, so you go to the other unique areas where you eventually die because of something stupid. (well I did anyway - lol)

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
The crashing in the multiplayer games definitely sucks. The only place I collect all my items is in my shared stash cause I hate even managing the tetris inventory even if all my characters are using it so I'm especially not gonna do the same thing for all them individually. And it sucks you have to be so careful about making sure your inventory is all safe before leaving the game.
I figure that ES isn't as popular as Median XL simply because people can play median XL on open bnet. Sides XL isn't for the D2 aspect anyway. people play XL for the uberquests, summoning stuff, and all those things. Those godly challenges xD
Not to mention the completely new skill trees, while bland as some say, ARE completely new. median is the only mod that totally redid the skill trees, and I personally was drawn to that aspect.

So what?
Just because it's new, does not make it better. By that logic, we should like new things, simply because they are new, and not because of overall functionality and inventiveness.

Eh? I like LoD's skill trees. ES improved them by keeping most of the skills by each class, but removing many of the baffling prerequisites that LoD had, then ultimately adding some new skills that are pretty fun. I mean, really, I love most of the skills that classes already have in D2. I don't want an entirely new set of skills. Familiarity is a good thing.
Some people like to stick with the stuff they know. That's fine. Personally I like variety. I like new things. I mean if u didn't want new things why are you playing a mod at all? Why are u playing LOD? U might as well have stuck with original D2, played it forever. The fact that your playing a mod shows you like the new aspects. THe reason the new skill trees in XL matters is because it's less like he revamped old characters, but more like he created totally new ones. That's what makes it interesting. It's a whole new experience of gameplay.
Besides it's a GAME. U can't compare it with new and old in real life. And the attitude that old and effective is better in a game is what made normal battle.net D2 so boring. all in all theres 15-20 builds that everyone uses. And frankly, u have to use them too if u want to be any good. U can't customize ur character to ur own preference unless u wanna get stuck somewhere in the middle of nightmare or hell. Making the characters different allows u to try new builds,

...Refer to above.
Just because it's a new play experience, does not make it a GOOD experience.
Yes, ES's skills are similar, but they have still been changed, rebalanced, and reworked to better suit the character.

It's a video game Zhar. You're trying to makea point as if ur preferences of gameplay are global. Everyone lieks different things. If they didn't, sports games wouldn't exist, because I hate sports games.
Also you're kind of arguing your own point by saying that since it's a new experience it's not neccessarily good, yet also stating how ES's skills are changed for the better. Choose one.
Alright for one, I'm not making shit up lol, u never stated that it was ur opinion, u said it as if it was a fact, not an opinion, that's the problem.
And yes I do realize that u could mean that, however, forgive me for giving MY opinion, but it sounds very much like you're biased against XL. How long have u actually played XL before? Also, how do you play D2 anyway? What do you wish to gain from it? and what makes u feel that that the differences in Eastern sun are BETTER than those of median? I mean it IS ur opinion and that's fine, but the 2 mods aren't even close to similar. Eastern sun is obviously for changing the entire gameplay of D2 all the way through. Median XL, however, was obviously made for the purpose of more specific challenge (uberquests) and a totally new approach to characters. You can't fairly choose which of the 2 is better because the purposes of both are different. All you can really do is decide which one u prefer to play because of ur own expectations of D2

Point out for me where I apparently said that my opinion is a global fact.
And yes I do realize that u could mean that
That I could mean that?
Well, judging by how I said I DO mean that, I'd say it's a safe bet that yes, indeed I do mean that.
however, forgive me for giving MY opinion, but it sounds very much like you're biased against XL. How long have u actually played XL before?
Quite some time, I played it before I started playing ES, decided it wasn't my cup o' tea, and moved on to ES.
Also, how do you play D2 anyway? What do you wish to gain from it?
Usually a melee character, speed is a must.
.. I wish to gain a greater understanding of myself, and of life in general.
*facepalms*
What the hell would I want to gain from D2?
What IS there to gain aside from arthritis?
This is a game, not philosophy.
and what makes u feel that that the differences in Eastern sun are BETTER than those of median?
Because I like it better?
I mean it IS ur opinion and that's fine, but the 2 mods aren't even close to similar.
Thats... my fucking.... point.

Exactly, I enjoy the new gameplay added by ES, instead of the shiny new uberquests offered by MXL. It's just new shit to kill, yippee.

*rages*
Yes, I CAN choose which one is better, because I can choose which one i prefer to play because of my own expectations of D2.

Lol w/e u've won ur silly argument. I don't feel like continuing such a pointless discussion further ^-^ median XL rox. I wish eastern sun could go online does anyone know why the maker does't make a 1.12 version?
Right you are Zhar - and my sorc is 91 now.

then theres the issue of wiping cause of the new s series
theres a rumor that it would break many things
and then lets not talk about the immense stupidity of that hacking incident
if anyone is still active here on hamachi i prob will just transfer my old networks to them
too late someone already took them
Siaynoq's Playthroughs
and its sad that plugy is built in so there is no use trying to fix it via upgrading plugy
also make sure your char file (the one with the d2s affix is not greater than 8kb)
cherie had an incident where her barb was dead cause of this
also the shared stash (the one with sss affix shouldnt be greater than 5kb)
same with regular stash (the one with d2x affix)

laz is a genius even if he has to deal with alot of qq

EVERY other mod out there has the same skills
and es is starting to change too
will get rid of all lod traces eventually
think about it
and besides the reason laz made new skills is because he wanted the players to have a new taste of things.
Diablo 3 even got some inspiration from median (and the other way around too)

When did I say that EVERYONE likes what I like, or that I like the same thing in every game.
You're taking my post, and extrapolating meaning out of it that wasn't even there to begin with, don't make shit up.
*facepalms*
Noooo, I'm arguing that the changes in MXL aren't necessarily good, which you seem dead set that they are.
And, arguing that the changes in ES changed it in such a way that I found it enjoyable.
It would be a contradiction if I said "ALL CHANGE SUCKS.", then said that "ES CHANGES ROX."
I'm leaving "change" open to interpretation whether it is a good change, or a bad change, not lumping all changes into the shitty category.
Reading comprehension man, work on it.
