Ya my sword has 244, but its from +max damage, and not +min damage, so maybe it is caused by the huge amount of min damage. Dunno though. Another thing that you could add for the mod, is the %slowing to monsters or whatever, the thing that slows em down, I havnt seen any of that so far, but I think it would be really cool, just keep em sorta rare like lifesteal and manasteal.

[Nimfu]

well lets put it this way...the mod lets you go over the max your supose to have normally...like being have more than 11 to lit radius and where min max dmg is involved..its not supose to go over 64-127 extra dmg...thats 64 min 127 max....and as you are using only min dmg runes...im not surprised you would run into a few bugs....only thing is..you drop the item....the stats do go back to the usual max...i found that out a bit with a few prefix/suffix stuff...so be careful of that..but i would advise you to add some max dmg runes so that its even again..that might solve some bug issues.

[Nimfu]

i never liked slow in d2..for 1...it was a noob way to play in duels..and for reg play...it doesnt really slow monsters at all..just their animations...but the packets still go as normally...like some have seen with earlier bg mod animations with giants looking like they are going slow..but hit you from across the screen....the same thing happens when you use slow on monsters..it looks like its working..but actually all yoru getting is the visual..not the actual mechanics of monsters being slow.

[M6n6M6]

Well first off, being it is a "noob" way of dueling, I think thats stupid for saying that basically because win a duel any way you can, using slow is just another option. So dont sit and say "its a newb way to duel" because its not. Most newbs wouldnt know how to use slow or if they did they probably wouldnt realize how good it is. But, I guess if it doesnt work on monsters, (which is why I would like it), then I guess it would be pointless to add it. Damn that sucks, but ya know lol.

[Sir_General]

That's enough of the duel argument, thank you both. Anyway, as Nimfu has stated, the Slows Monster attribute does not work properly, it only modifies the display and not the reality.

Also, the maximum values for many of the attributes have been raised from vanilla D2, but the maximums do exist. I'll look into trying to put a check in the code so that it doesn't go over. Probably won't be in this next patch, though.

[Rhonlore]

Well that kinda sucks. What about Frozen? Does that work any? Not that we need it but the Cold DMG attribute doesnt induce cold for a very long time. Maybe like 1 second after enemy is hit enemy is normal again. 1 second is too short! Oh and does Reduce Cold Duration or something like that work??

[M6n6M6]

Sorry for getting off topic wit the dueling subject, but I was tired, and it made me mad lol, anyway...

About the frozen thing, thats a pretty good idea, I like it, the cold duration reduce would be cool to. Oh and I noticed something, whats up with the "Spectral Damage"? Was that in vanilla d2, or was that somthing you added it, anyway, it sounds cool, and I get a "Attacker takes 1 Spectral Damage" rune lol, just wondering.

[54x]

Hmmmmmmm.

Maybe it's the specific rune, itself, that is buggy? Or it's actually a completely different max he's hit?

[Sir_General]

You may or may not recall spectral damage as an ability of some unique monsters. It causes them to do random elemental damage when they hit you. Likewise, Attacker Takes Spectral Damage causes a monster to take random elemental damage when they hit you.

The Freezes Target attribute does work, and can even be found on some vanilla D2 items. It is in the mod as an attribute for high level water mox runes.

There's no Cold Duration Reduced mod, but it's a possiblity in the future. It certainly would be a nice mod to have.

[M6n6M6]

Two things, can u make it so they sell mana potions , that would help some of the sorceress and what not that use mana alot. Just a thought. Other thing, found a very odd bug... my friend did actually, we were playing, opened up the cow portal, he got killed, and ran it to get his body, he got hit by a cow before he did it, and the cow blew up, then, he accidently punched a cow, and it blew up, he was naked, and was not hacked or anything, it was very strange, so he was like, dude, take off ur stuff, and kill cows, so we did, and whever a cow would go to attack us, it would blow up, so then I thought it may just be in cows, which it wasnt, I went to a few different places, and whenver I had my equipment off, the cows blew up and I killed them easily by punching them, but as soon as I put my stuff back on, it didnt work anymore... odd bug, but its fun to play with lol.

EDIT: Oh and Spectral damage is awesome then lol.

[GKZ]

OOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

you guys...we need 1 mod in this game, all others can be exluded for this

ias

[Poop Loops]

Axes. They need some advantage. They are just like mauls, but without 150% damage to UD. Perhaps making 125% damage to demons? (since all act bosses are demons, 150% might be too much). Dunno if this is just my luck, but it seems like I am getting a ton of %mana recovery runes, and hardly any mox runes with +damage. My barb has like 140% faster mana recovery. At level 15.

Other than that the mod kicks ass. I haven't gotten a cube yet, so I don't know anything about transmuting.

Also, I like the kill counter

[54x]

I agree. Far too much mana recovery. Especially on armours

[puppyerik]

A few things,

1.
I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not.

It seems that weapon damage isn't affected by strength at all. I have a level 15 druid with:
* 40 str
* a broad sword with 1-8 damage and +45 AR (with modifiers)
* large charm with 1-5 lightning damage

and at most I do 2-13 damage total.

2.
Where could I find information about cube recipies?

3.
For some unknown reason, the game crashes every once in a while. Yesterday it was only once, today twice. I'm not sure why this happens though. However, I know that one of the errors I remember was a failure to spawn an item rune.

4.
What is the probability of getting class specific items? I seem to keep getting bombarded by numerous barb helms and rarely ever get a druid pelt. Random generator fritzy?

If I come up with anything else, I'll let you know.

Oh, and completely unrelated, but who's idea was it to blow up avatars to uniform size? And why so big? Heh, sorry. I'm just used to 36x36 avatars from another forum I troll.

[Maxx Power]

I would very much like to see a way of including requirements on armours and weapons. May be a bit hard, perhaps +1 to str req on armour for every ten runes, with a base requirement of 10, with weapons gaining +1 str req every five runes, and +1 dex req every 15 runes, with vice versa for ranged weapons obviously.

Er, wouldn't you need stat requirements on the element parts as well?

fire = str
water = magic
earth = vit
wind = dex
light = str as well
prismatic = all

Also the requirements should scale depending on the level of rune, level of the stat required, and also how good the modifier is, say you have this:

Char lvl 5
Char dex lvl 20
Lvl 5 mox (wind)
+10 max damage (mod rating based on rarity and strength of modifiers)(10 out of 100, most max damage mods are +1 to +3)

(stat lvl req)=1/2[(rune lvl) x (mod rating)]

I.E.

x=1/2[5x10]
x=1/2[50]
x=25

This rune requires lvl 25 dextertiy to use on any weapon. You cannot use it yet.

I doubt it'd work though, at least at some point you can use this unlike my previous formula:

(stat lvl req)=[1/2(mod rating)][(rune lvl)x ((char lvl)/(char stat lvl))]
Because the char lvl and char stat lvl aren't constant, you'd never be able to use the rune because the requirement would rise along with you. At least I came up with something a bit more manageable.

If you find any flaws let me know, you can only know so much from algebra 2. ;P

[Myhrginoc]

The problem is the base items have very low requirements, and the code Sir_General wrote doesn't increase them when you add rune stats to them. It wouldn't be hard for him to calculate the difference between a current stat and an initial stat (which would be 0 if not a base stat) on an item, then divide by some factor to get the character stat requirement. Say for example you have 100% enhanced defense, but the item base is 0%, and you need another level for every 2% increase, so you would have to be L50+ to use it.

Items with multiple stats would get each stat evaluated separately, and the highest character stat (level, str, dex, maybe vit and enr, possibly other stats) would rule for all calculations based on that stat. So if one mod required level 25 and str 50, the next level 15 and dex 65, and another stat level 30 and str 40, then the resulting requirement for the item would be level 30, str 50 and dex 65.

[Maxx Power]

sounds like a good way to do it. I say this simply because I have a barbarian with base str and dex and about 300+ vit, and he's doing enough damage to get by, and has enough AR. In other words, stat points are only going towards vitality and energy, leaving out dex and str. Since people only put points in to get the requirements for the stuff their using, putting reqs back in may be a good idea

EDIT: A problem i've just thought of is if a person puts a mod on a weapon/armour that they have just enough in the way of stats to use, and it becomes useless due to the high reqs. Maybe they should be kept out and the requirements based on level (a good way would be to set the items level to the highest ilvl of rune used on it, as ilvl for a character is usually around the characters level (provided they've gone through the game normally))

[Myhrginoc]

Or just disable the rune upgrade if it would kick the item requirement above the current character (base) stats.

[Maxx Power]

Problem is it will always set the requirements to base stats, whatever they are. Meaning stats wont be used anyway. One thought of mine was to increase the bonuses gained by strength and dexterity e.g. For melee weapons str/dex being 10/0 rather than 100/0, and similarly for ranged weapons. For dex increases, have +20 to attack rating a +2 defense per dex. I know this would help early on due to very low attack rating and defense availble.

[54x]

That would likely be a Very Good Idea™

[the_brainaic]

Could you include a text file with all the cube recipies in? It's just because I can't be bothered to check the files and decipher the code each time!
Thanks

[the_brainaic]

Another thing - What exactly do jewels do in this game? Because you can't find socketed items, and the socket quest has been changed. Could you make them like runes, so you could transfer the properties of the jewel to the weapon/armour/whatever.

[Rhonlore]

They are just for being sold. Also try to use the edit feature if no one has replied already

[the_brainaic]

Sorry about that Rhon

I was just playing with the cube recipies, and made a new one to change all mox runes to a level 3 lightning mox rune, just for testing. It turned out that all I could get was + to attack rating. I didn't see + damage at all, out of over 30 cubings. Is this a bug? If it is, please fix
