Weekly Post May 24th, 2016

Hey, not late this time! Well anyway, been messing with some mods (not to heavily as my net sucks) for Diablo 2. Figured out a trick of having a modded version and a none-modded version of Diablo 2 at the same time! Even thinking of making my own mod for the game. Rather than changing the story layout or any of the bosses, or any creatures. I'd try to add something for after you beat the game. Something after Hell default setting, so I can make something very fun and skill crazy. Pandemonium Event is the  toughest event in the game (out of 3 total that are to my knowledge). I want to make something that rivals it, but at the same time gives things that allow you to fight on that setting. Something for battlenet? No, just single player and maybe Multiplayer. Though that is all ideas, don't have anything to make the mods currently for it. I still need to finish working on my Star Wars: Battle Front 2 mod and Skyrim mod too, but it has peeked my interest.

1. Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction - So, greatest news for this is I figured out how to get single player working again. I now know what all was wrong with my game before and after the updates. Before the update to 1.14b, I couldn't get on Battlenet because I didn't have the latest version of the game (which I cancelled the update to a while back because I had bad net and had something else running). After the update, when I updated the game, it worked the first time because I guess it went straight to compatibility mode, not sure on that part. Either way, stopped after words because it was taken off compatibility mode from the update. I figured this out when the game asked me about it after the update to 1.14c. Connecting the dots, went and checked, and what you know, it was off, turned it on. Now can play both Battlenet AND single player. So if your playing this game and it says "Generic bad file" or what not, than check you compatibility setting. I have made multiple single player characters with new ideas to replace the old characters I lost (and brought back characters I enjoyed). Been playing them on the 8 player setting (/players 8), it is a bit harder, but item drop is nice and experience is rich. 2 characters beat act 2 at level 20, if this keeps up, be level 40 (or higher) with those characters by act 4. Also been looking for a mod (for offline) to have the runewords from ladder, and the Pandemonium event and Uber Diablo event offline as well (All of which I think would give a nice set up to single player). Another mod I am interested in (but don't want to have it effect my Diablo 2 game) is this Median XL. My boss at work was telling me about it, and when I found it, I noticed I have seen it but not looked into it at all. Sounds like it be fun, so at some point thinking of making a copy of my Diablo 2 and changing it to that (so I don't lose my normal Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction) and I have the mod which is apparently changes nearly the whole game, basically a fan based game.
2. Battle Pirates - Been doing a lot of autoing in it lately, which gives me more repair, but can do stuff while playing Diablo 2. Best part of recent events on it though, is a ex-member of our alliance (one of our old common hitters), tried my base which he hadn't done in a long time (died at 34%). Nice to see my base is still handling well even if I think of it as a bit out dated. It might not be as out dated as I think though. His ships are the only PvP ship currently in game (The Revenge), he is in one of the top alliances in the game, had another of the top alliances in the game have a member peek me (do nothing), AND before that about 2 or 3 weeks ago, a level 100+ try my base and lose 2 fleets. I don't count my base anywhere near complete. Though it is handling much better now than it was a few months ago.
3. Diablo: Hellfire - Thinking of adding a mode that changes the game a lot. It adds Necromancer, Barbarian (He is already in the game, but might be the expansion only), and Assassin into the game, changes the Warrior, Rogue, and Sorcerer a bit. Also has better quality and saw something about it improving the game. So going to look into making a double (unless it requires normal Diablo 1 with no Hellfire expansion, than will just download the normal, and change it to the mod). All and all, will probably end up with 2 Diablo 2 (maybe even 3) Icons and 2 Diablo 1 Icons on my desk top, which be funny.
4. Colony Attack - Entered one of those annoyed/depressed states for the game... Someone came and killed my whole fleet, so now I have to build it back up. It isn't really a bad thing, just boring having to build it back up again, will do it again at some point. Till than just won't be playing it much.
5. Kritika: The White Knight - Thinking they upped the game requirements, my phone still shuts it as soon as it starts to open. Till I figure it out or get a new better phone, won't be playing it.

Been thinking of getting Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls for Play Station 3 (Both normal and expansion, so don't need to buy both). Been thinking of it a lot because I want the game, but found some stuff about them not making another expansion for Diablo 3, but making a Diablo 4. Some people argue that it been to long since Diablo 3 came out and current date. My argument to that is Blizzard had Vanilla World of Warcraft out for 6 years I believe? Before the first expansion. They have ever since came out with an expansion nearly every year or 2 since for it, but that is beside the point. Beyond my love and passion for the Diablo games and lore, I been watching as much Fairy Tail and One Piece (They came out with more dubbed episodes!) as I can. Still planning to get Bunnie to play Diablo: Hellfire and Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction, but she has been busy of late, so haven't bothered her with it beyond talking about them.
