Diablo2:Lord of Maidens - Touhou mod [Completed]

[Stuffman]

Yo, I think Nazrin's Magic Find bonus might be busted. I'm finding obscene amounts of uniques, just in Act 1.

[Pesco]

Getting a lot of uniques is fine because they seem like nice items but at the level you can equip them, you can get something better from crafting or gambling (in the full release).

Favourite class is easily Voile Fairy because it has fun spells in every build.

[ARF]

The new item sprites are amazing and seem to mesh well with the vanilla D2 sprites.

Magic Sign "Stardust Reverie" nextdelay added.

I-it's not like I wanted to make a reverie Marisa in the final release or anything ;_;

Anyway, in the current build my favorite is Kasha Warlock, great synergy and lots of fun possibilities with every build (haven't tried Alice though).

[Pesco]

I-it's not like I wanted to make a reverie Marisa in the final release or anything ;_;

It broke my heart to add that nextdelay.

[Tarmo]

I'm not entirely sure what nextdelay means. Is it a term for a cooldown timer or something?

On a different note didn't you say that you were mostly waiting on the item sprites before releasing the patch? Does that mean the patch will be coming relatively soon? I don't want to sound impatient but I am looking forward to playing after my characters get wiped. (It'll save me the time as I'd probably have deleted 75% of my characters anyways)

I'm a bit curious about a whirlwind aya build, especially with the remake to Sarutahiko's Guidance. I'm a bit torn over which weapon to use, the fan obviously boosts whirlwind damage and has good base attack speed as well but it's range is really short, I remember whirlwind barbarians usually used spears. (I think... I've never actually seen one or used whirlwind myself) Perhaps a more experienced player would be willing to share their input?

Edit: Also does the crit chance and open wounds from God Sign "Eight Million of the Red Leaf God" apply to melee attacks as well as ranged attacks?

[DemonicHobo]

I'm not entirely sure what nextdelay means. Is it a term for a cooldown timer or something?

You could call it invincibility frames a target receives after being damaged. Haven't tried a Marisa myself, but it's probably a slow, widespread, or persistent attack that ends up hitting more often than it should.

[Pesco]

Nextdelay gives a monster immunity to missiles for a certain number of frames. Stardust Reverie can do stupidly high amounts of damage because a monster is too big and eats several streams of stars at close range. The nextdelay ensures that the monsters only takes damage from one stream.

I'm waiting on my new loadscreen and some dialogue rewrites. I believe the loadscreen will be ready before the dialogues. But I will also not be releasing a screenshot of it early because I think it should be something special.

Since whirlwind barbs use polearms for the reach, I think it should be quite viable in conjunction with the recent buffs I made to the magic affixes. non-class specific weapons have a chance to spawn with leech affixes. I recall these were core on those kind of builds.

I'll need to check but I think I made it so the crit and open wounds only worked on ranged attacks.

[Tarmo]

If by leech you mean life leech and mana leech then hell yeah that'll help. I was mostly wondering if the loss of +wind would be significant enough to outweigh the higher damage and longer reach of spears/polearms. Also the fact that you don't benefit from the crit chance and damage bonus you get from fan mastery, overall I'm still kind of torn. I feel like the shorter range wouldn't matter too much as aya builds should be fast now that we have incentive to put more points in the wind skill. And having a shield with +wind couldn't hurt right? (That is assuming yuuka's sunflower shield can spawn with +wind)

New loadscreen should be epic =o. Is it made by stuffman as well or is it someone else? Or perhaps you want that to be a surprise too? (Get it? Surprise? Kogasa? ...I'm going to hell for that one)

[Pesco]

I didn't want to burden Stuffman with too much when he has his own things going on. I got an artist I had my eye on since the very start for a loadscreen to do it.

Sunflower shields can spawn with +wind. Otherwise just craft it on.

[Amraphenson]

And the last bits of dialogue are submitted. Sorry for the epic delays. Will be running the final iteration of my Kasha once we're good to go.

===================

New thread here. Mod is done and so is this thread. Discuss everything there from now on.

Even though I said I would break all saves from past versions, you may have been spared that. I've managed to put in what I wanted and the old saves seemed to be fine still. Nonetheless, if something doesn't work then I don't care because you should be making new characters anyway.
