How many hours (years) of per-person actual work do you think went into this mod? How many hours of per-person actual work do you think went into the Necromancer? Is this a fair comparison? You are aware that Blizzard has to pay for those hours? You are aware that they're running a business and their goal is to get people to pay money for their games? How would you pitch Median XL to Blizzard... before it was made? Would it be a reasonable proposition?
Also one of them is doing it out of passion and love for the game and the other has a bunch of desk jockey dabble gamers that some of which would see their job as a chore 9-5 that they need to do in order to pay the bills. Which do you think would produce the better content?
Blizzard has to finance development yes, but it's an unfair comparison to end it there because Median XL is free and Diablo 3 among the most best selling PC games ever. Actually the 10th best selling game of all time, a list including Mario, Zelda, Tetris, GTA5, Minecraft, etc.
+MsTwte If they would keep the game updated with a bunch of content like Path of Exile etc they would have so many players playing their games and they could run the game just like path of exile does of cosmetics
Diablo 3 is so empty with all the mechanics to rebuild entirely that it would need 5 expansions to get as good as it should have been in 2012. It's better to let it die and doing something else. Trying to maintain a dead body alive artificialy is pointless.
I remember playing some Median 2008... I was astonished by it. Then there was Median XL which I spent few hundreds hours playing. I remeber the old forum and playing some fun builds by MarcoNecroX. And now i come across this :-) I'm just amazed. Thanks and keep up the good work! It'sTime for some Uber runs !!!
Haven't played this mod in year, but i put in about 1000 hours back in the day. Glad i decided to randomly google to see if any updates came through. It just gets better and better. If you love Diablo 2 give this a try you wont be disappointed!
Hey, I come from the future, there is no remastering of Diablo 1 or 2, Diablo 3 still has 2x1 seasons but good, we have DIABLO IMMORTAL, only for cell phones
hi ... two questions... anyone knows how to zoom ingame or somewhere to make it inmersive like the old diablo? and its possible to get the hud of the old diablo 2 mixed with the particles of this mod?
This is an EPIC mod. A lot of new content, nice optimization, but still good old D2. I just want to say THANKS to everyone who made this! Can't stop playing this game and exploring it with new runewords, cube crafting and other stuff.
hi ... two questions... anyone knows how to zoom ingame or somewhere to make it inmersive like the old diablo? and its possible to get the hud of the old diablo 2 mixed with the particles of this mod?
When you mention numbers of new stuff in each category, do you mean new from last version of median XL or new from base Diablo 2? Either way, I'm super excited~
I like this mod so far, Frost Scorc has been fun. Only hope is that when I hit high levels, that rare runes aren't as common cause holy shit the commons ones are everywhere.
You will be Happy to know its the easyest thing to do in the univese :D just go to the median xl page, downlaod the file ,pace said file in your D2 directory, click replace file and voila your good to go.
i can only assume the way to install mxl17 will be the same since we have no more info on the matter.(hopefully we can get clearance on that soon) As for servers and online play i cant help you out since iv never played online (although i may give it a try with this new update :D ) and for the version i dont think there is a problem with any of the latest ones 1.13 and onward. i play current mxl on the blizzard official patch 1.14 and it works fine. hope it helped :D
Gordon David If you never played median xl i would indeed wait for the new patch :) but as for content...omg where to start LOL. there are many new bosses in different categories (uber bosses, summoning bosses and so on) there are plenty of new zones too, little hint DONT go in the caves level 2 at the beginning :P the new bosses and zones are almost all if not all based on the diablo lore, its pretty cool to have little bits of story told trough bosses and dungeons. i dont whant to give to much away since the best part of a fresh start in median is the unknown and stress.. lots of stress whanting not to die to everything XD but dont let that scare you away , i can say that median XL is a whole lot of fun , its challenging especially if you dont know what ennemies to watch out for at first but its verry rewarding and keeps you whanting to play more :D with all new uniques, sets, skills , honorifics items, shrine crafting, orb crafting and so much more i think your in for a fun time . and if you have any questions feel free to ask and theres also the forum pages witch are verry freindly and easy to search trough, and if all else fails theres always google lol. hope you have fun with the game and gave a nice one
Only SP, but MP is infinitely better. People will always help others on MP server. Multires is basically cheating b/c you can offscreen kill monsters and they won't even react so it's prohibited.
Hello guys, i don't know where or to whom asking this : i'm a truly newbie on D2 and i really want to try this mod. Can someone advice me a paladin end-game viable build pls ? Sorry for the inconvenience
Apologize if this sounds disrespectful but is there any way I could make the boss healthbar like in vanilla D2 like doing some tinkering on them? Played the shit out of Median xl ever since it first came out. Had an average of 600+ hours on it. Did BrotherLaz made this one? If I remember correctly Ultimative was handled by someone else.
Median XL has different potions from vanilla d2. Instead of X hp over 5 seconds it's 100% hp over X seconds, where higher tiers of potions heal faster. This way you'll only ever need to use one potion at a time instead of spamming your 1-4
oh yes, they funded the rich of Blizzard shitty corporates…thats why they so butthurt… plus D3 fanbois, more than half are wussies, hard game a no no, easy game a yes yes…
It's a shame they block Multires now. I didn't even use it for cheating as I only played at 720p in singleplayer. Won't even bother updating until they allow it for that at least.
Раньше этот мод был интересный, сейчас намного легче стал, шмотки продают, рускоговорящее комьюнити слабое, одну недельку в год поиграть можно и то, чтобы посмотреть как засирают этот проект.
They state that the copyright goes to blizzard and these guys aren't making any money off of the mod. So there's no reason for Blizzard not to accept it. If anything it's boosting D2 sales for anyone who wants to play it.
my carpal tunnel is ready ! :D
Amen to that :P
Meanwhile D3 gets a crapy necro xD It is so embarrassing when you see what some hobby moders do and what a multi million dollar company is doing :/
How many hours (years) of per-person actual work do you think went into this mod?

@@Mythraen u are just an ignorant blizzfan boy and u got ur face smashed by diablo immortal!
I just woked up and see this video. Holy fuck im hyped.
woked
Im not a native speaker. Apologies :)
I just made a wok and so hyped too!
Funny how this mod has more content than entire diablo 3
funny how a business dont enjoy wasting Money.
+MsTwte If they would keep the game updated with a bunch of content like Path of Exile etc they would have so many players playing their games and they could run the game just like path of exile does of cosmetics
It's obvious that they have given up on D3 and are instead working on a sequel or another IP.
Diablo 3 is so empty with all the mechanics to rebuild entirely that it would need 5 expansions to get as good as it should have been in 2012. It's better to let it die and doing something else. Trying to maintain a dead body alive artificialy is pointless.
Since when is it a waste of money to improve a core game massively?

OMFG!!! FINALLY! I'm so hyped! :D
I only have two words, and they are as follows. Fuck and Yeah. I'm so ready.

so this is not coming out I assume lol, is it a joke?
@@Demiigodd i got recomended from youtube too, and never play median xl mod. But i'm sure i heard it somewhere. I will check this mod too,
hi ... two questions... anyone knows how to zoom ingame or somewhere to make it inmersive like the old diablo? and its possible to get the hud of the old diablo 2 mixed with the particles of this mod?
Hello. What's the name of the barbarian skill where he turns at 2:42? Thanks
This is an EPIC mod. A lot of new content, nice optimization, but still good old D2. I just want to say THANKS to everyone who made this! Can't stop playing this game and exploring it with new runewords, cube crafting and other stuff.
This actually looks awesome.
id like to see you play it
I tried it and oh am I confused with the skills. I didn't play long but it was fun
All I gotta say is dude it is badass lol
respect to them for providing new content : O
it IS awesome. these guys should have made D3. theyd be legends
I dunno what to write, I am stunned ! Thank you guys!
all these mod and changes. at this point i think we can proudly call it diablo 2.5
yeah, na…
its Diablo 2 Median XL still…
hi ... two questions... anyone knows how to zoom ingame or somewhere to make it inmersive like the old diablo? and its possible to get the hud of the old diablo 2 mixed with the particles of this mod?
D2 one love. Sadly, blizart now cares only about the profits from boxes in overgaywatch
Mexian XL is the only way I'll play Diablo 2 now. It's just so unbelievably good.
Blizz should hire you for working better than currently devs
I saw this recently posted on PC Gamer. Looking forward to jumping into this later this week.
When you mention numbers of new stuff in each category, do you mean new from last version of median XL or new from base Diablo 2?
Either way, I'm super excited~
a Dream comes true. x.x
Krass .... Ich hab einen wilden Tobi entdeckt :-O
It's incredible. Will try it as soon as I can!
Music name? Sounds epic!
It's really awesome mod :)
I'm just so glad that it's still being developed..
Got to get Kripp to play this
go for it! xD
If we download 2017, would all of our old XVI characters need to be deleted or can we still use those?
I copied the files but when I start d2, right after selecting a character to log in, the game crashes =(
How to play with characters in MXL 2017 from Ultimative XVI?
I like this mod so far, Frost Scorc has been fun.
Only hope is that when I hit high levels, that rare runes aren't as common cause holy shit the commons ones are everywhere.
Blizzard should definitely hire these guys... Great job.
forums is down, cant access it. says "general error".
which graphic settings are used in this trailer
looks like im getting back into diablo2. how do I install this app? Im downloading d2 lod right now from blizzards page.
You will be Happy to know its the easyest thing to do in the univese :D just go to the median xl page, downlaod the file ,pace said file in your D2 directory, click replace file and voila your good to go.
ArmyOfBabies will it really be that easy for mxl17? including servers? Also what version should i have ready before install?
ArmyOfBabies ok well ill waot till 26th when new one comes out!i never played median. is there new bosses?story???
i can only assume the way to install mxl17 will be the same since we have no more info on the matter.(hopefully we can get clearance on that soon) As for servers and online play i cant help you out since iv never played online (although i may give it a try with this new update :D ) and for the version i dont think there is a problem with any of the latest ones 1.13 and onward. i play current mxl on the blizzard official patch 1.14 and it works fine. hope it helped :D

awesome.!! cant believe Im seeing this in 2017
Is there going to be online for this?
cant access forums atm, site cant be reached.
Which GMT is that? Please God, let it be earlier than what it should be :))))))
So when became available? Auto update?
Fantastic Mod and community. Hands down!
is it available for mac os ?
something to play before 3.0 comes out
Median and easter sun mod are the only diablo 2 mods worth a damn
You got me at "automatic gold pick up"
How do I find double orb effect shrine.
have you ever played a diablo game ? it doesn`t sound like it.. if you had, you should know that a shrine is spwaned at random
lol you showed you had never played Median XL. Shrines are a crafting ingredient for the Horadric Cube.
when is marco going to release sigma?
Any way to play this without cdkeys? cant buy D2+expansion atm...zzz
This will be legendary!
How to download and install this ? :)
Comes out in four days mate. You should be able to get it here when it does: www.median-xl.com/
Any way to get shares stash?
Does it work with the Multires mod?
Only SP, but MP is infinitely better. People will always help others on MP server. Multires is basically cheating b/c you can offscreen kill monsters and they won't even react so it's prohibited.
Hello guys, i don't know where or to whom asking this : i'm a truly newbie on D2 and i really want to try this mod. Can someone advice me a paladin end-game viable build pls ?
Sorry for the inconvenience
Google "Median Xl Guides" and that should bring you to the guide center on the forum. It has guides for every character.
You are wanted to update ULTIMATIVE ?
Im confused, Is this still online multiplayer?
Song?
Woooow, gibt es das auch in Deutsch? Median XL in German Language?
Apologize if this sounds disrespectful but is there any way I could make the boss healthbar like in vanilla D2 like doing some tinkering on them?
Played the shit out of Median xl ever since it first came out. Had an average of 600+ hours on it.
Did BrotherLaz made this one? If I remember correctly Ultimative was handled by someone else.
Can I play the MOD in German?
Does this mod change the potion system at all? The only thing that keeps me from playing D2 is the cancerous potion management.
Median XL has different potions from vanilla d2. Instead of X hp over 5 seconds it's 100% hp over X seconds, where higher tiers of potions heal faster. This way you'll only ever need to use one potion at a time instead of spamming your 1-4
name music
holy fuck I can't wait. played diablo 2 for 12+ years and diablo 3 was a let down.
I will definitely be playing this
You guys have phones dont you?
Its Ultimative?
And that kids is what u call "love" !
but this mod will not make the game too easy?
Great community is absolutely correct!
I remember Star/Ster playing this mod.... in 2008 (i think it was 2008)
Woah! Im on my way!
brb getting Median XL
Almost all looks good,except one thing,too colorful.
This is quite impressive, though frankly it seems the classes have lost their identity. Seems everyone is a trapper now, everyone is a mage now. :/
two words hard and epic...
I can smell that smelly smell from angry Diablo 3 fans in this comment section.
oh yes, they funded the rich of Blizzard shitty corporates…thats why they so butthurt…
plus D3 fanbois, more than half are wussies, hard game a no no, easy game a yes yes…
Yet still uber long hp bars.
Awesome cant wait!
Put this on a private server so we can play online!!!
As mentioned in the trailer itself, this is available online.
I'm willing to pay for it.
Oh yeah , is here finaly hehe , hype hype >.< !!!!
This video makes me bipolar 😩whyyyy! Blizzard why did you never do this! 🤬
Souls like trap at 2:44.
Hyped.
Impressive
Fockin' massive m8.
This is awesome!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
beautiful
There is way to much shit going on in this mod
Yeah! Ain't that great! :)
It's a shame they block Multires now. I didn't even use it for cheating as I only played at 720p in singleplayer. Won't even bother updating until they allow it for that at least.
вот такой должна была быть Д3 . а близарды сделали полную казуалку для недогеймеров.
Раньше этот мод был интересный, сейчас намного легче стал, шмотки продают, рускоговорящее комьюнити слабое, одну недельку в год поиграть можно и то, чтобы посмотреть как засирают этот проект.
Maybe a stupid Question:
Is this Mod legal? Does Blizzard accept it?
They state that the copyright goes to blizzard and these guys aren't making any money off of the mod. So there's no reason for Blizzard not to accept it. If anything it's boosting D2 sales for anyone who wants to play it.
Damn this is Epic....
AMAZING
HYPE HYPE HYPE
isnt this a bit too much? i'd juste like a D2 remaster while waiting for diablo 4 :D
Sign me the fuckk UP!!!
Ficou muito foda!
OMG! I love you!!!
Hype
Blizzard is gonna ban the shit out of this...
yayyyyy
is this gonna be sigma ?
