“ We acknowledge that a big part of Diablo II’s longevity is the modding community and we appreciate their enthusiasm for the game. Looks like we might actually be able to enjoy those awesome D2 mods after all - and who knows, perhaps they'll even take it one step further and provide the community with some real tools for the job (modding D2 can be very cumbersome and what one can actually do is limited because many bits and pieces of the game code can't be accessed). I think that one concern for many D2 players have been whether or not Blizzard will encrypt the game files and deny the community the opportunity to make modifications to the game. It makes the itemization in the game really shine when you find your first blue or yellow item and it’s garbage by vanilla standards but it’s so great for your character in that moment.Just came across this article, may be old news for some but here you go: The MF penalty seems to turn a lot of people off, but it really is so great. It will be frustrating at times but it’s so much fun and you really feel accomplished when you beat Baal on Insanity difficulty.Īll in all I really like the mod and I think it has made me infinitely better at D2 than anything else I’ve done and even years of playing vanilla. Use the mid game gear that we usually skip over in D2. You have to take your time and learn and practice to actually get through some of those tougher areas. If you want to play BT Diablo, I recommend approaching getting your first character through hell like you would approach a dark souls game. It also makes you choose between MF and power for a long time whereas in the base game you just get it all and you melt through the game like it’s nothing. My paladin has over 500 MF even through the penalty. The MF penalty also serves the late game because with extra socket potential and the infinite +MF recipe, you overcome it easily.

Once you do have a character through and start farming, you just start twinking all your others so you really only have to experience the brutality of it once if you don’t want to. It makes getting through the game so much harder and take longer, which I see as a good thing for single player.
