please play eastern sun. you may need an actual diablo 2 disc though. ive tried everything with isos and burn discs and poo poo and there's no fooling that mod for some loving reason

there was a goon version that got around that and added even more stuff but those files have vanished

vvv just to run it. playing online will require hamachi and other such fuckery since it can't use bnet. the goon version was modified to connect to a special server but that's down. see if you can get some friends to play with you. i would be down if you ever download it

Titan Quest Immortal Throne owns. You get to pick two different skillsets and get to do wacky poo poo like suck the souls out of monsters from Greek mythology while wolves are eating their faces off, or throw an exploding fireball at them and then become giant sized and step on the survivors, or slow down time and space and pepper them with exploding arrows. The possibles are endless.

Did I mention it's also set in ancient Greece? :hist101:

iirc it is very complicated and made by people who think diablo 2 is eztrash4babies so it's hard as heck

eastern sun just plain adds poo poo to the game

some major things:
- adds five billion recipes to the game so that you can turn stuff into other stuff. notable recipes include:
+adding +all skills to items and other important stuff using rare crafting materials
+turning several magic rings/amulets/charms into one rare, several rares into a unique
+rare socket donuts can be transmuted with anything to add sockets to the item
+anything can have its sockets emptied out by transmuting it with a key and you dont lose any materials

-a ton of new runewords, sets, uniques, etc.

-reworked act 2 so that you dont even have to step into the desert once, you access different dungeons through the different sewer entrances in town for the staff pieces and boom you go to arcane sanctuary

-reworked act 3 in a similar way, much shorter and less getting lost in the jungle

-added a shitload of post-game content to the optional dungeons. for example the "hole" cavern in tamoe highlands act I is now "Blood Raven's Workshop" where very high level enemies that shoot glacial arrows and poo poo appear and the second level has like 20 blood ravens in it which all drop boss loot. there is a super huge super hard dungeon at the end of the game with all sorts of new bosses

-reworked all the skills in the game to be more balanced and interesting, i think there are like 10 more skills per class

-mercenaries can be fully equipped (gloves, boots, jewelry, etc.) have their own sets and their skills are also way better. A1 mercs can use strafe and other advanced bowazon stuff, A3 mercs come with resist auras, A5 mercs can use barbarian buffs.

it's very complicated in the sense that they just threw poo poo in without caring constantly and you couldn't get info on what was changed last time i played

i tried to get people together to make a wiki and had it up and asked people not to just post their stupid builds nobody cares about so of course the only thing anyone ever posted were their builds

titan quest can kind of run like poo poo for no reason but im sure theres entire encyclopedias dedicated to all the tech issues with that game

also, you should really download the fan patch that fixed a lot of that poo poo. company went bankrupt before they could fix their game

I can't believe I forgot Nox. It was a pretty good Diablo clone back in its days.
