Quote:This is the boundary of the map.
It looks terrible.
Quote:It seems no matter what base type I pick up, it has 40-50 AC or something.
That sounds pretty boring.
Quote:AI combinations are pretty boring and virtually the same from level to level.
Some Hellfire and Diablo mods actually have better monster AI. V & K mod, the Dark mod, for instance.
Quote:Very much like D2.
Yes, that's what some modmakers try to make - DII with D1 atmosphere. Well, such ideas are dead from the start.
Quote:Would you really call the original "balanced" though?
At least, Classic Diablo is much more balanced than ReX. And don't forget about the other mods that ONLY change the balance, not the NPCs and such stuff. That's why they are better.
Quote:There's gargoyle one-hit killers (named Death's touch) with only 1 hp each.
That is not natural. A monster with only one HP is not natural, especially THAT strong monster.
Quote:It is much more of a hack-n-slash than D1.
I don't like this kind of fun. Classic Diablo, Hellfire and some of the mods provide more than enough action, but it is more hmmmmm intelligent, not so stupid.
