Diablo2:Lord of Maidens - Touhou mod [Completed]

[ARF]

Thanks for your advice. And I'm sorry that I fail to done this with Kensei. :ohdear:



*I'm the winner now, but with only 56 exp won...
I think that's not diffirence from draw.
(In fact, By skill damage, I just lost because my skill are too strong compared by stardust reveries) :V 
I have one request, Pesco
The super unique that named for me...
I shall have it named "GM Catfish" for the thanks for Catfish that give advice for me...

That's sounds fair, well played! *Note to self be less impetuous and do more research*
Oh and 27 quillbeasts+ 1 zombie = 600 experience  :3

* I known that reason why Minoriko's Apple can't kill Reimu now...
Because It was based on Holy Bolt in Origin D2, Right?
And that stuff can only deal damage to Undead only...

You are probably right, I guess it's a bug that came with this update.

Flawed gems give 750 gold when sold again, up from 500. And Patchouli in town has her named spelled with 2 l's, maybe intentional, I don't know.

[Pesco]

I'm sure it's actually the apple doing so little per hit than any bug.

I generally spell Patchouli with 2 l's.

[Dr Rawr]

that apple should hit anything, ive had no problems hitting non undead targets :V

[ARF]

I just checked again, and Minoriko's apple doesn't hurt non-undead targets anymore, I know it did the previous versions.

[Pesco]

Fixed up Minoriko's skill. Pretend I posted a screenshot of me killing Reimu at level 1 :V

[ARF]

Got a Miko up to level 27 and beat act 2. Tried to take on Yuyuko again (at character level 8, since it was so easy last time) but got destroyed again and again... Whatever bug happened last time may have been caused by the Kasha's summonings or revived mobs. This time Yuyuko fired butterflies and white squares of doom.

I'm not sure where you want to get with the balance, but as it is now, Remi/Eirin build is not very strong compared to some other builds, (it's a chore to play at /players 8 ). Pure Reimu is however really strong, a barrage of needles kills just about anything at /players 8. And when you get ESC (which also keeps being active after mana runs out) you can turn it on for anything that you need crowd control for, just run up to them and ESC hitlocks everything except special bosses. I suspect Byakuren or Sanae will make Reimu become really crazy, because the only issue with Reimu is the mana cost (which is reasonable with that kind of damage). Being able to kills stuff quickly is kinda neat in a hack 'n slash game though.

Doesn't seem like Reimu's specialization penalty works anymore.
Found a Simbilan with the magic effect "throwable"  :V
Lots of squares replacing the apostrophes in the dialogue with Satori, Utsuho and maybe others. Satori calls Reisen Eirin in her introduction to the town merchants, but I guess most of the dialogue is about to be rewritten still.

[Pesco]

Changed Yuyuko's AI again to try get around the bug.

I blame theshim for all the apostrophes :V

[Rotund_Danmaku]

I played Warlock (Who kill Reimu at Lv 6) and find some trouble...

Look like the Blazing Wheel aren't cast Corpse Explosion anymore... :ohdear:
And why in Blazing Wheel's Skill aren't have any info of Mana Cost?

[theshirn]

Changed Yuyuko's AI again to try get around the bug.

I blame theshim for all the apostrophes :V

There's nothing wrong with my apostrophes

also damn I need to finish writing at least for Utsuho

[Stuffman]

Cloudy Way in Purple isn't doing any magic damage. Maybe you changed the AoE to 0 when it actually needs to be 1 or something?

[Pesco]

Cloudy Way in Purple always did physical damage. The stun component prevents me from letting it deal magic damage.

[Stuffman]

Well, whatever the type of damage is, it isn't being added to the attack.

[ARF]

I cleared Normal with a Chen Youkai Hunter. I found Monster Cat Claw in the Koumakan Kitchen, which was pretty sweet, even though it has been nerfed (much needed, I still ended up using it through the entire game without any issues damage-wise). So I take it the special stat bonuses only increase by hard points in the first skill? Because Nue and Meiling's aren't working with soft stats from equipment.

Damn, enemies are strong again, you get pummeled quite a lot as a melee character!

Marisa doesn't fire those pretty stars like in the screenshot Her spells are also still kinda weak.

Fun fact: It takes 18 minutes to clear act 1 in Lunatic (give or take a few seconds). But that is including Den of Evil, Rescuing Kourin, killing Reimu in the human village (she hits hard, but against high resists her spells are kinda useless), stopping to kill all boss packs and doing town business... Chen is insane!

[Pesco]

Yeah lots of skill references and things I need to refix.

[ARF]

Phantasm Yuyuko keeps crashing my game when I beat her. Error message reads as follows:

"Diablo II Error

Halt
Location:, line #882
Expression: Unrecoverable internal error 0c55038d"

The rune Mi does nothing at the moment.

Some E tier items are more expensive to gamble than their N tier versions.

Jewels still have the + to % damage resistance stat, and it's enabled me to make an armor with 52% damage resistance.

I tried "speedrunning" act 4 in Lunatic too, time from entering the portal in act 3 to beating Reimu: 4 minutes and 15 seconds (I also killed Tenshi).

Phantasm Reimu seems to overshoot melee targets with the lightning attack, or it deals very little damage I guess.

It seems Nazrin's block with dual rods also works with Chen's claws, this isn't bad but the tooltip should probably say something like "when dualwielding two youkai hunter specific weapons".

I lol'd at the new hydras from the death fairies  :V

[Pesco]

Yuyuko's reward charm got lost in the transfer and doesn't exist as an item. I don't think that would be a cause for a crash, but it's the most likely one.

Mi rune effect does work, it just has no text description.

Nazrin's blocking with Chen's weapons is intended.

I also did a speedrun with Chen a few days ago because I had to test some stuff in Act5. It took me about 2 hours from Act1 to the Prismrivers. All waypoints activated if I knew where they were and Virtue of Wind God was made via shortcut recipe.

One time she flew over the entrance stairwell and that time it didn't crash because it's out of bounds and no items dropped.

Is Chen-level the way good character builds should be? So I know when to complain about the skills being weak or not  :V

[Pesco]

I think Chen-level may be Tier1 just from the way you play her. The most balanced build should be one where you can find use for all the skills. But even then that's quite hopeful since not all skills are equal. I personally think Miko as a whole is the most balanced class. From the feedback it sounds like they're a tad underpowered.

Edit: I think I can make 10 side dungeons for the next update. They'll probably be very simple and terribly balanced. I should be able to put all the girls from Touhou 6 to 13, bar the fighter games and StB/DS. Some will have drops, some won't.

[B?t V?n Tử]

is there a guide how to apply the mod? i never use mods in D2 b4 so sorry for asking noobish question.

Simply copy paste the Patch_D2.mpq file that comes with the download into your diablo 2 folder and replace the original patch file.


I made some progress with my Ichirin/Murasa Brawler.

At level 24 you are about as effective as the Miko Reimu build, except it doesn't instantly slay stuff at /players 8, but instead have a more effective aoe with Deep Vortex. Unzan is a reliable tank now, can't take on a boss mob pack alone or anything, but survives for a while at least. The steep mana cost is warranted as the scaling is good now, and it forces you to spend at least some points in bombs to be able to level it. Falling Sky Hammer somewhat average, but since it scales with weapon damage it will become strong later I guess.

But yeah, Murasa's melee skills are kinda lame, especially Sinker Ghost, Venus of the Bilge seems to buff Ichirin's Fist Strike and FSH when you build up the charge so it isn't useless. This builds plays like a summoner/caster once you reach Vortex and Unzan.

[Wypatroszony]

Hourai Dolls are nearly useless when it comes to their damage. With 90 Dolls Stat and 3 points in Hourai Doll, they deal something around:
4-12 for fire
2-4 for ice
1-6 for lightning
<1 per second for poison, however it lasts rather long, because one shot killed my target.
Tested on /players 1 typical Kedama.
Nothing else really bugged me this far.  :V

[Pesco]

Treat Dolls skill as you would for Skeleton Mastery. It should give them a bit of damage that way.

First sidequest area is complete \o/. Cave Level 2 is now known as Embodiment of Scarlet Devil. It's a sort of boss rush area. But be warned, there are no hard barriers separating the bosses, so you can very easily find yourself pulling aggro from multiple bosses. Also don't expect to do it on Normal. It's a level 60 area.

[ARF]

Great! I'm glad to see that you are doing well

[Pesco]

Flight of Idaten with Rumia's reward charm is ridiculously strong. Good thing the drop rate isn't 100% :V

[B?t V?n Tử]

I have a question about the Alice's Dolls. If I level up my shanghai doll skill, do I need to recreate them to make the changes update (as in damage, hit point, etc.) or they will be automatically applied?
Because the her grimmore do little damage, so I only switch to her grimmore when i need summoning the dolls (to increase dolls stats), otherwise using normal high dps weapon.

[Pesco]

Summons are created with the stats at the time of casting. Using summoning gear for summons and then switching to mobs/boss gear is called pre-buffing.

[Rotund_Danmaku]

Pesco, I have some questions. :V

1.Did you thing the next version can carry over this version's save?
2.Did you plan to change Patchy's Skill Icon? Since her skill's changed now.
3.When you think the next version will coming?

and for the "Squared Apostophy" trouble... Just stop use it and use it full form to fix these. :V

The new sidequest's looking so insteresting... But I have one "dared" question on it...
Did Rumia dropable the charm at normal level?

(I say "dared" because I just kill Yuyuko since my level are 19, And use that place for "Exp Farming" place till I reach level 25) :V

[Pesco]

Saves should carry over but I'm not exactly sure since I've cleared my old saves more often now.

The skill icons need to be redone, sometime later.

I'll probably do an update at the end of the week.

[theshirn]

Finishing up Utsuho's lines.

ARCANE SANCTUARY 1
Still no luck with finding Marisa?  Well, Satori asked me to send you over to her.  Most likely, that means she's got a lead for you!  So hurry up!

ARCANE SANCTUARY 2
Makai, huh?  Wow.  Never been there myself, of course.  It's a little out of my depth.

Heheh, get it?  Depth?  'cause we're...you know, underground...

Don't give me that look!

ARCANE SANCTUARY 3
All twisty and stuff?  Geez, I'm glad you're the one going there and not me.  I'd probably get a headache in a couple minutes.

ARCANE SANCTUARY COMPLETE
Hah!  Told ya!  Satori always comes through!  Now get going, you're almost there!

THE SUMMONER 1
Another goddess?  They're just popping up everywhere these days!

THE SUMMONER COMPLETE
You're crazy strong, you know that?  If things weren't so crazy around here I'd love to have a friendly duel with you.

THE SEVEN TOMBS 1
So...Mima and Marisa was kinda like Satori for me, right?  Well...this is just one hell raven thinking out loud, but if I were her, I think I'd rather be left alone than dragged up into this mess that everything's turned into.

THE SEVEN TOMBS COMPLETE
Oh, man.  This really feels like it's all going over my head.  There's just so much at stake here and it doesn't feel like I can do anything about it.

Well, chin up!  You're going after her, right?  Heh.  'Course you are.  I'm gonna stay here and help out with everything as much as I can, so make sure to drop by sometime when this is all over!
Will do Shikieiki's spiel and start Act 5 tomorrow, hopefully.

Shikieiki BLAH BLAH BLAH
It's not often this happens, but I thank you for your aid.

My name is Shikieiki Yamaxanadu.  As you might surmise, I am a Yama, a judge of the dead.  Normally these incidents are outside my jurisdiction, but this time the balance of Gensokyo has been so thoroughly wrecked that I am forced to intervene.

I thought to stop Marisa here first, but I arrived too late.  Armed with her old master's power and this strange madness, she was able to overcome me - and I assure you, that is no mean feat.  She taunted me as we battled, saying she would reunite with the shrine maidens and that all would fall under their dominion.  She bound me here, and left for Eientei.

I need not tell you the catastrophe that would arise if they succeed in whatever their plan may be.  My powers are limited here, fighting on their own ground.  But you have proven yourself skilled and resourceful, and so I must ask that you continue to pursue Marisa.  I judge you ready for the trials that await...and it may serve as some comfort that I am never wrong.

Go, now.  Time is of the essence.  And know that we shall meet again.

[Pesco]

I'm playing around with the completed Remilia set (got it through all the runs I did testing the drops and boss AI). The full set bonus is guaranteed barrels of fun. Update will definitely be coming on Saturday morning.
