[Mod] Reign of Terror

This might be of help…

Thanks for that Powbam. I have already checked those locations.

I swear I remember finding him in an indoor location but what I am really wondering is, upon leaving the immediate area where Wirt is found and moving far enough away so that he loads out whether Wirt then moves location…?

@Ram Can you advise on this please brother? P.S I sent you a PM as well.

[Ram]

so that he loads out whether Wirt then moves location…?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way. You need to find him in a new game session after he despawns.

Oh?! So, are you saying that when you walk in to a room with Wirt present and then walk out that he loads out permanently in that game?

[Leqesai]

He is a slippery little bugger.

Yes. That’s exactly what he does. When you find him. Use him. Do not leave where he is or he takes off.

Since I’ve just finished normal with my casual group of friends, I want to give some thoughts about our experience of RoT, maybe it’s interesting or useful to you.

You’re probably aware of this, but it came up a lot in our 3 man playthrough, so I’ll just post it as feedback regardless. While rare and magic gear with ‘old’ GD class boni was really, really ubiquitous, rare/magic gear that benefits the D2 classes was exceedingly rare. I was playing a Skeleton Necro and I found several rare rings, amulets and medals that had Raise Skeleton (GD Necro) but just a single magic charm that had Raise Skeleton (Classic Necro). I even checked every shopkeeper whenever we went to town. My friends had the same impressions on their charactes as well. We would have loved to see a stronger weighting towards D2 mods while levelling at least. Also lots of hybrid items for double GD classes, which probably further swings the droprate towards GD specific items. Not being able to craft any rares with new D2 skills, like Jewellry, was also somewhat of a bummer.

One of my friends thought some of the areas (Plains of Despair for example) were a bit too massive, but personally I didn’t really mind it.

I was a bit sad to see Lower Resist not helping my Skeleton Mages if I don’t get conversion gear, but I would understand if you think the curse would be too overpowered. Although Conversion will be easy to achieve later on, so I’m not entirely convinced this move to only lower Magic/Poison res achieves a lot in endgame settings. I tried to put a lot of points in Golems just for fun, but it ending up feeling a bit lacking compared to the other available summons.

I have been leveling a Sorc on my own as a solo side project, and so far Hydra has been really blowing out Skeletons+Mages+Revives in terms of clearspeed and damage. Maybe the Skeletons need some leveling help or the Hydra needs to start weaker, the disparity is really noticeable between the two.

Overall we were having a ton of fun with this mod and will continue playing it, so thank you for your fantastic work to everyone involved.

The Hydra was over buffed for a reason on my end. To find WHERE it was to strong, so it can be scaled back. Hydras didn’t perform well before the last patch. Now they perform almost too well, so I found my top and bottom and can adjust from there

Pets are going to be receiving the love in the next patch, that includes Druid and Necro pets. So your skeletons will see some love.

The next patch is going to be a big one. So don’t expect it right away. But that’s a very light overview of what I am currently working on, along with other things the community doesn’t need to know just yet

Finished Normal mode, everything worked like a charm, I’m very impressed with the mod!

One (very small) thing I noticed: Healing potions can be stacked up to 100, Mana potions a lot more (201 at the moment). Would be nice if one could stack Health potions like Mana potions.

Regarding stacking: I’m very pleased that gems and runes stack too. That was very annoying in original D2 LoD to waste the precious inventory space for every single rune or gem.

Speaking of inventory space - for me as a dedicated hoarder of almost everything I loot I’m very happy with the private and shared stash sizes and the ability to buy them from the start for little gold. It always annoyed me as hell that in ARPGs which have tons and tons of loot the storage space is so limited. So a big thanks for including tt300’s expanded stash!

Now trying to beat Baal at nightmare

Health Potion stack size has been increased for the next patch.

Just wanted to report on my Assassin (Trapsin) I’ve been perma locked in place in the Bloody Foothills while making my way up to the first boss in Hell mode, its happened in 2 random spots so far and the only way out is to log out to the character screen and back. Didn’t experience any of this in the previous other difficulties with the only new skill I’ve started using being Dragon Flight, all other skills and passives appear to be the same. Thanks so much for the mod having a ton of fun reliving the D2 landscape

Hey, sounds really cool. We are excited to see where the mod goes from here and I’m looking forward to the next big update. I think you have something really cool going on here, if I have more feedback I’ll be sure to come back here.

Best of luck to you

Is there a way to refresh vendor items in order to powershop town vendors without exiting to main menu each time?

[Ram]

Travel to different town, check vendors there and travel back. They should have different goods by then.

Thank you for that! That is very useful info!

Ram, do you have anything in mind to improve leveling after level 85 or so? Even with experience shrines, it is only at the cow level that there is a significant gain.

I know that the mod is mirrored in D2. However, by reaching level 100 faster, you can maximize your character potential by a lot. At D2 around level 85 onwards, unlike GD, there is not much significant gain in power.

Another point that should be considered is regarding the gear. With items like soj that give +1 skill, all other items in the original GD become practically obsolete. I don’t know if it is possible, and if it is probably a lot of work, in GD gear to implement skills from D2 classes or +1 skills.
I’m not criticizing MOD, which is incredible, just trying to contribute some ideas.

got a problem to download the hotfix. is it possible to download it from other link? always msg that this file is download to mutch often…

[renevatia]

Same issue as Nequam, just saw the mod and can’t wait to try it but alas google is being google atm

[gunnzan]

Found a solution to this issue from some indian youtube video :).
Simply access your own google drive and you will have a recently visited file view… Here you can right click it and select make a copy. After this step it seems you can just download it from your own google drive. Never really used google drive myself but this seemed like quite an easy solution.

[Ram]

Correct, making a copy to your own Google Drive does the trick.

GoFile link has been just added in the first post for those who are still having issues with drive.

I did it, it worked !! Thank you very much. it is important to know that you have to create the copy in “your file” to download

I need help! I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong… I loaded the custom map (0.6.1.5, then 0.6.2.1 hotfix) and created a new character, but when I start the game, there are no NPC’s or monsters. The (empty) encampment and Blood Moor look amazing, though.

EDIT: Ok, I got it working! The problem was the folder inside the mods was named ‘RoT’, but it needs to be exactly ‘ReignOfTerror’. Perhaps this info should be added to the first post, for people that are manually installing.

[maguzz]

where i can see builds? thanks
