7.69 ?

<< < (2/3) > >>

ChaosEmpire:
there is a much smaller update file for 765-7.68 to 769

jbtilley:
I can only really speak about the first two acts up to the arcane sanctuary.

Act 1:  In the version of CE that I was used to, cat 4 was already changed with the new layout.  In addition some of those annoying filler levels that were really repetitive were removed making the trip to Andariel a quick one.  Sad to see that all those are back in 7.69

This was not my experience.  The tunnels in CE 7.61 were linked different that they are in vanilla.  There were even some tunnels that were all linked together, all the unnecessary tunnels from vanilla that were removed in the run-up to cat 4 with the creatures from Act 5 near the end.  Maybe 20 levels deep.  So far all the tunnel layouts I've gone in are the same as vanilla.

Perhaps the largest disappointment in act 2.  There was one tunnel (ancient tunnel?) in the lost city in 7.61 that was unique - I called it the dog level.  I was excited to get back in there as it was a good place to level in previous versions.  I was totally dissapointed to see that it was replaced with the same old vanilla version of the ancient tunnel.

Griez:
It seems that your installation is not complete. You should attempt to re-install.

jbtilley:
Hmmm maybe that is the case.  Another thing that was once in CE but is no longer in 769.  That level in Act 5 that had the cows (not the attacking kind, the kind that stand stationary).  It was in one of those 3 ice caverns that are all the same.  Now it's just the same old same old ice cavern.

I'm really questioning whether or not they were moved back to how these levels were or if it really is an installation issue.  I say this because aside from about three things everything else is how I would expect.

I found a kill the 7 bread in that ice cavern that I thought should have had cows in it.  Seems like it wouldn't have the boss that drops the bread if the installation was incomplete.
I've also got the modified cat4, duriel, seals in act 4, etc.  The only things missing so far:
-there was an extra long crypt in the burial grounds - something like 15 levels deep.  now replaced with vanilla
-there was a level with a lot of dogs in that trap door the ancients way, now just the standard vanilla
-there was a level with cows (stationary) in one of those act 5 ice caverns, now all are vanilla
=the wanderer wasn't at the anvil where you destroy the stone, but I found him elsewhere
=there used to be a blood golem boss in one of the temples in act 3, I didn't see him this time around

The only thing i really miss from the old version is skipping all those redundant levels in act 1 and the dog level in act 2.  Other than that I don't miss the old stuff.


I didn't bother checking those two temples that are on opposite sides of the walkway approaching the travinical, as they used to have diablo in them and I didn't want to risk it.  I did notice diablo in one of those portal areas in the fields of act 5 however.

Seems like the missing stuff was done on purpose from my perspective, yet you're saying I might have an installation error?

P.S.  The lava maws in worldstone 2 are ridiculous.  They take about 30 hits apiece at 300-1100 damage and there are hundreds of them.  The only thing you can really do is run past them and ignore.  They are terribly unbalanced.

IT HASNT BEEN THERE EVER, it is below of Nihlathak

-there was a level with a lot of dogs in that trap door the ancients way, now just the standard vanilla
IT HAS BEEN CHANGED

THIS WASNT CE

=the wanderer wasn't at the anvil where you destroy the stone, but I found him elsewhere
THE WANDERER WAS NEVER IN TRAVINCAL

SEEMS TO BE ALSO ANOTHER MOD
