If tweaking the sorceress's spell-casting speed helped combat the ever-present problem of online lag, then this guy makes up for it. What makes this expansion pack good value, is that by making-over the original characters, it changes the way the original game is played.
Although the fifth act is sadly rather short when compared to the previous four, the enhanced difficulty levels, new weapons and rune words, have kept the trade channels buzzing, and you can't build a superior online character unless you jump in and show off the colour of your money. Blizzard has cleared things up since we last saw Diablo 2 online, the play is quite smooth even on a 56K modem, although there's lag with larger games.
Lord Of Destruction is a good package for newbies and veterans alike. Diablo is dead, hammered back to his own little Hades with a little help from yours truly. Only problem is the little devil's got a big brother and he's smokin' mad. So it's time to stock up on health potions and call up your friends because brother Baal is a callin' and he ain't going away without a fight. Most expansion packs tend to focus on extending the gameplay of a game without tinkering too much with the actual game itself.
Not so in Lord of Destruction. The most noticeable additions to LOD are the creation of two new character classes, the assassin and the druid, which in itself make replaying the game's original levels worthwhile. Surprisingly, Blizzard managed to create characters that stand out from the original classes in both graphics and tactical advantage, each equipped with 30 unique skills and spells.
The assassin is a master of martial arts, which allows her to do increasingly deadly damage through charge-up attacks and finishing moves, deadly traps ranging from thrown fire bombs to complex proximity-triggered sentries, and the powerful shadow disciplines, a kind of psychic magic which modifies her attributes.
The assassin is also the only class that can use the powerful and quick claw-class weapon. The druid plays a bit like the necromancer with the ability to call creatures to his side, like ravens, grizzlies or deadly plants. He also can manipulate the elements, calling forth volcanoes, twisters or even hurricanes. My favorite druid skill is his ability to temporarily shape shift into a werewolf or werebear, creatures with increased speed, agility and fighting prowess.
The drawback with using the new character classes is that you will need to start the game, multiplayer or single player, fresh and fight your way through to vanquishing Diablo to get to the new levels. But the uniqueness of the new characters makes it a fun ride. If you decide to skip the replay and stick with your old characters you just need to convert them -- a one-time, one-way process.
The game still has lots of new things to play with even without the use of the new classes. Thousands of new class-specific weapons, armor and magic items are included in the game as well as new item sets and new unique items. The expansion adds rune words and jewels to the mix as well, making it easier to create or modify items. There are also charms, items which when held in your backpack grant magical enhancements, and ethereal weapons and armor, which are imbued with magical properties but are irreparable.
Lord of Destruction features a lot of minor changes that make gameplay more fun. Now you can heal and equip your hirelings, and even take them to new Acts. Including Diablo II, the Diablo series has sold 17 million copies. The main production roles were handled by Matthew Householder and Bill Roper.
The idea of a third game in the series was broached when a Swedish journalist, speaking to a Blizzard producer, joked that he probably would be back to visit again "to check out Diablo III", and the producer, seeming to think said journalist knew about Diablo III, replied, "Yeah, I don't really know when that event's going to be", thus indicating that Diablo III was in the works.
Story The story of Diablo II takes place after the end of the prequel, Diablo, in the lands of Sanctuary where Diablo, the Lord of Terror, was defeated by an unnamed warrior. The hero who slew Diablo drove the demon's soulstone into his forehead in an attempt to contain him, but in the end, Diablo's soul was too strong for him, thus corrupting him.
The player is an adventurer appearing in the wake of the destruction caused by Diablo, who attempts to find out the cause of the destruction, starting with the corrupted warrior. As the player continues through each of the four acts, he faces off against the Great Evils, superpowers of Hell, and learns of the truth behind the corruption. Up to eight people can play at the same time. Moreover, in such cases, the amount of experience for the destruction of monsters increases.
