Phrozen you still on vacation?!? I will be coming off my vacation soon from playing D2. Got a reason too now - to collect MY set for my barbarian.

[Keldaren]

Very nice update! only a couple of problems though:
.a lot of my regents still dont have skins ;-;
.the new health/man bars... look nice...but aer distracting ;-;
. underdark..just as hard...
thats pretty much it... the regent problem i dunno, because ive had that for a while...
either way, still a nice update

Are you in some way allergic to the "v1.0" text? The way you name the updates mankind will be extinct befor you run out of numbers smaller than 1.
Just tried it for a couple of minutes and I've got to say I really like the new mana/life globes. The bit of blank space inside of the bars is a bit irritating at first but you get used to it fast.

And an unique Bastard Sword is another Evil Force.

Re: reagent skin problem, I had the same with scarabs/ankhs for a while. Reinstallation solved the problem for me.

Nope I'm still "out", I just figured with so much content already done it was a shame to shelf it in the meantime.

Sounds like you missed a patch as the inventory images were only included once in an upgrade (in addition to the compiled releases) so skipping that one would give you that problem. The data/global/items/ folder should have around 800 files I believe.

He went through a few prototypes but I think Volf did an awesome job with them

No-one think the news guys make it at least "different"?

I'm only limited by the number of digits PlugY will let me go into decimals with In truth, this patch is/was decent enough to make release but not quite as packed as I would of liked for v1.0 hence the intermediate number

Apparently I forgot to pack the newest string tables so they'll probably be quite a few of those I'll go fix it shortly.

[edit]

I've replaced the old file in the file center with the package that contains the newest string tables. Same link as before but make sure the filename includes "-fixed" on the end Just checked and since I fast tracked it, it's already mirrored to the public servers.

I like the HP/MP bars, there quite stunning.. however.. they are distracting for the first few hours of gameplay. You get used to them however.

[theonlymoose]

I like the new health/mana globe replacements too.

[Keldaren]

bit off topic.. but would you happen to know what patch i might have missed that would have them? the regents i mean

[Ulthrion]

I like the new putrid spellweavers in the underdark level 2. They look cool, and there are many of them.

Only problem now is that the item/area levels of the underdark have been altered (on purpose?), and the first area's only drop item level 50-60 in hell, which is really crappy considering that even the blood moor has item level 67 and the underdak is more on par with act5 (which has all area level 78+ I believe). The item levels only start to become interesting around underdark level 7-8, everything before that is just worse than the normal act4/5 areas.

I think that the gradual increase in level is okay, but maybe you should just set level 10 on the maximum (82 I believe), and then 1 area level less for each area above that (underdark 1: area level 73, underdark level 2: area level 74 ... underdark level 10: area level 82). And even with this, the area levels for the first few levels will be more act1-ish than act5-like.

@Keldaren - So which ones can/can't you see?

@Ulthrion - I'll take a look.

At least I don't have to feel bad if I decide to junk the project, no bugger seems to be playing it anymore...

Like I said I'm getting ready to get back into playing again. Had to get a few things in real life straightened out first. Will start up with my playing diary again when I do too.

[Darkmage]

This is the only mod I've played in a very long time, and I've liked it a lot. Unfortunately, my D2X CD is 70 miles away with my ex, and I don't think I'll be seeing it anytime soon. I'll probably pick the game up again though. It's... pretty cool and all.

If you junk it, I'd have to swat you!
My brother and I just got into this and I must say the number of items to be hoarded is impressive! So many items, so little time...

~Lyken

[Phrozen Heart]

So no actual bugs to report yet?

*quick head count*

Okay there's a few regulars missing here...

[pseto]

Just to say, GREAT WORK Pagan & Heart. I tried most of the other mods, but this one RULES. Thanks for turning the best game ever into THE BEST BEST GAME EVER! Oh yeah, not a single BUG so far ( Nightmare-Hell-Quest01 ).

[Lyken]

Hmm I'm not sure if the mod causes this but whenever those raptor-like creatures in act 5 use charge on my barbarian, I often become unable to move until i remove/replace my armor. Of course this has happened to me in vanilla D2x but now it seems to only happen with the raptor things.

[DreamBreaker]

I haven't played a lot recently. Not enough time. But I'm still there .
nothing special to add.
I've been quite unlucky these days ,and the last 3000 000 gold i spent on gheed potions only gave me a +15 to attibute. I need skills points damnit! lol

I couldn't get online for about a week after my last post - had to replace my ethernet card.

[Lyken]

The barbarian (not sure about other classes) dissapears for a second after using the Blade Fury skill granted by A'Kins Deadly Toys set throwing stars.

Hmmm...anyone else seen this?

Yeah that's an unfortunate side effect of the game trying to use the assassin throwing sequence, I believe most (if not all) other characters have that problem.

Glad to see others are still here though

[johnyod]

is this the end of pagan heart, or is there some work still being done?

[Phrozen Heart]

I do actually have a tweak every so often so don't count the project as dead just yet...

[erevos]

Im playing too its a good job so dont stop or just make a big update and final release
