Mods for D2R will be created anyway, whether it be some other or Median, what's the difference.
The fact that someone does not want him on D2r, it does not matter how interested he is, it will arise anyway!

With the game running on new battlenet platform, we won't be able to host our own realms/ladders etc. That would really kill it for me, I only play online with friends and being able to trade items is a big part of it.
good point! Btw alot of my friends don't event wants to check Median / Diablo cause of old graphics..ParticuLarry wrote:Well, it's also a good option for people who want to try modding themselves. Since they're supporting mods, they should have an editor, right? Depending on how complex and how easy to use the modding tool will be, it could give a little insight into coding without using coding language and thus spawn more people interested in creating games with a proper engine. And who knows? Maybe someone creates a new game mode like it was the case for DotA? The warcraft 3 editor for example was pretty good. Having something along those lines for a Diablo game with awesome graphics? Sure, I'll take it just to mess around with the gamefiles myself and see what happens.
In addition to that Brother Laz confirmed he would create something in D2R, be it median XL from 2013 or something new entirely. Isn't that already worth checking out?

Iv'e had a few try out mxl and quit for pretty much the same reason, or it is flat out too difficult for them (lmfao just Duncraig-Teganze) What is more frustrating is that these same people ask for "more content" from the mods that they play (PoD-PD2) when in reality the other mods should or already have taken ideas from mxl.
The thing is, this mod isn't for all "d2 players." With that being said the content here is challenging enough to even drive away semi-experienced players. But it's also shitty that they can't have "fun" just playing the mod, when they will go and do that for the others.
I also believe that there is just too much attention/over-hype for D2R, when those that bought the nostalgia cash-grab are bored after another 10000000000 Baal runs and maybe some ubers: they will be looking for a mod to play.
2.0 coming, can't wait

Seems weird that Blizzard is doubling-down on that 'no big changes' line but no one's accused them of making good decisions lately.
As for the remaster itself... it looks like Path of Diablo now. And why would I pay sixty USD for that when Path of Exile, as much of a mixed bag as that game is, has had comparable graphics despite being a number of years older, better support, far less demanding PC requirements, IS FREE, and has far better QoL improvements over base D2?
