I often see things where I personally can only bump my head against the wall.ĭiablo2 general modding / balance 'guide'įirst of all, why do I make this topic? Because from what I have seen, lots of mods seem to make no sense at all. 12/18/14-added Easy Unsocket and Respec mod. 2/3/15-added No Equipment Loss on Death Mod. 5/11/17-all mods tested with 1.14d and updated where required-fixed bug with Demon Hunter Class Mod where act 2 mercs couldn’t use their skills. This is not necessarily because the modders are idiots or something like that, but sometimes just because they have no experience and / or would need to get some tips. updated No Equipment Loss on Death Mod to 1.14d. I want to try to give these tips here and help new modders to find a way into the world of modding Diablo2.įurthermore lots of people calim that its insanely hard to make a balanced mod at all. I dont really think its all THAT hard, and i just wanted to give some thoughts of mine that might help. I will start with more global things and after that, i will go more into detail, for example talk about items. I do not claim to be perfect or something like this. If you see errors or parts where you don't agree with me, feel free to contact me. I am free for new ideas and for discussions. I just wanted to add that I do NOT dislike mods like Zy-El, although it might seem in this guide sometimes like that.
