MXL already has increased resolution compared to D2.

Keep in mind than in case of D2 increased resolution does not mean better graphics (the sprites retain their size), but larger FoV. This is essentially a cheat, both for PvP and PvM. With increased resolution you could, for example, shoot at monsters ae the edge of your screen, which stay docile, since you'd be outside their FoV.

For this reason even SGD2FreeRes restricts its usage (through primitive security through obscurity).

To make the gameplay fair, such a resolution change would need to be incorporated into the mod itself (so all players use it) and all the mechanics (such as missile and monster awareness range) would need to be tweaked. This is not a trivial task.

i have yet to decide if i'm going to start playing again this patch or not, but i'm around a bit. i keep hearing from gato and gavin about what they're up to so it's hard to stay away :lol:

i think people don't quite understand that the mod runs on volunteer labor and with me gone there are literally two active content devs. it's basically the sb and gato show at this point (and of course gavin and whist doing engine work, like the new loot filter and launcher). complaining about stuff that sucks is one thing, whining for more work than is physically possible is something else.

So Kabraxis trophy is effectively going to be an assassin-only.

Kabra itself will be 2-3 at rolls, not 1-3 as before.
