Questioning about design choices.

-Why Clawviper temple doesn't have any Clawviper?

-Why there is a group of poison spitting frogs and two turrets behind Duriel? A trap for new players?

-What's the story about that strange room with bed, bazaar and a group of peoples before Uldyssian's room? They look really out of place, It's like they're partying just outside a goddamn demon lord's prison. :think:

-Why did i got both Khalim's Flail and Khalim's Will? The Khalim's Flail can't even be turn into a shard.

-Why did i got 2 Soulstone from Mephisto? I pick it up but then in act IV, Cain told me he also went and picked it up for me. Is this a bug?

-Why Shenk the Overseer is a Khazra/Goatman instead of a fat bastard with a whip?

-Why Harrogath is just a giant box with 3 houses and a huge gaping hole inside the town? where's Malah hospital? That really doesn't make any sense :-X

Atleast you kept the bunny roaster though. 8-)

-While the story of most uberquests are kinda understandable. That they acts like a self contained scenario. But then i read about Tran Athulua quest and it bugs me the most. So the pirates that apparently is a group of town guards hire us to raid Amazon's capital city, kill their 3 leaders and steal their artifact? That was really evil and out of character IMO. Why not make up something more in line with what our hero would do? For example:

"In order to effectively combat the 3 prime evil and their minion, the heroes must pay a visit to the Amazonian city of Tran Athulua. From the telling of their Amazon companion, at the edge of the city lies a ruin which their peoples called it 'the proving ground'. It is said that all the souls of Amazon's finest warriors and former Priestesses will go and reside in the proving ground after their death, ready to challenge anyone who step in the ruin. Those who conquer the trial will be recognized by all Amazonian and will be given a token of respect, blessed by the souls of the 3 elemental priestess. So far, no outsider has ever succeed"

Well, that would explained it better why you could plunder this super special artifact from their city more than once. So the Sunstone is actually nothing more than a golden cup or a sign of championship from the Amazon peoples. What make it special is that it was imbued with the souls of the priestesses whom you bested them in fair combat.

Why barb no haeb leap attack? We want manly barbs not sorcbarians with elemental attacks. This mod sux.

Kappa. OR IS IT???

They don't? Well Sin no longer has kick too but that's no big deal. I also heard somewhere that Median community (or Diablo's in general) don't like passive cuz it promote lazy play so they have to put more skills in to make up with Barbarian's removed passives but i don't know honestly.

Not to be rude, but you did just join yesterday. Perhaps play a bit more and get a feel for a D2 Mod which, by definition of a mod, modifies the nature of the game, such as new enemies, visual effects, skills, etc.

It's not meant to be a clone of D2. It was meant to improve upon faulty aspects of the classic game.

I asked myself the same question the other day. You can expect vipers in sigma.

Joey_Diamond wrote:-Why there is a group of poison spitting frogs and two turrets behind Duriel? A trap for new players?

No idea, it's removed in sigma.

Joey_Diamond wrote:-What's the story about that strange room with bed, bazaar and a group of peoples before Uldyssian's room? They look really out of place, It's like they're partying just outside a goddamn demon lord's prison.

Demons can't party?

The flail drop is hardcoded.

Never happened to me.

Ask Laz.

No idea. Either way, sigma has a different Harrogath map.

Idk, the lore is fine. The pirates could never conquer the jungle themselves.

shenk needs to be a stationary mob cuz if he doesn't die on the platform the quest doesn't complete

Yes i know, but MedianXL is still not a total conversion isn't it? More like a giant patch, the core of this mod is still Diablo II and it doesn't alienated me. Infact, i'm enjoying it a great deal. But simply saying it improve the game still doesn't explained why there's a big hole in the middle of Harrogath.

You think i was criticize the mod or something? Hell no, i just wanted to know why, that's all. :salut:

If you pick up it after killing Mephisto and then either change difficulty or lose it before completing Hell Forge quest, Cain will personally give you another Soulstone so you can go and finally smash it in Hell Forge. If you complete this act IV quest, this will never happen to you.

P.S. Your questions are fine and make sense. Don't pay much attention to previous posters. There has arleady been some newbies who wanted MXL look like original cLoD or Diablo 3 (usually with retarded suggestions) that's why you can see some unusual feedback to your posts

That explains alot, considered how old this game is.

Well, my point is that our heroes are supposed to be heroes and act like one. not some murderous, plundering maniac who slaughter city full of human. Why not just make us fight Amazonian avatar/ghosts army instead?

And thanks Stealthmaster for clarify. :thumb:

Joey_Diamond wrote:Why not just make us fight Amazonian avatar/ghosts army instead?

Hence why I mentioned playing further into the game because you actually do fight those.
