[Ultimative] Compilation by ChuckNoris

Ultimative Compilation by ChuckNoRis



I'll start by saying that i'm glad i've convinced myself to give this mod a try , even dough i was (very) sceptical about someone making modifications to Laz's creation ; i (now) believe that since Laz made most changes based on the comunity feedback , it's ok if the comunity keeps his work alive by making usefull updates to the mod . I've been away from MXL (gaming and forum) for about 7 months and at the beginning of this month i have returned . i had a look at the changelog , i had a good impression about the changes and i've decided to give Ultimative a try . My humble respects to those involved i really needed a fresh start/wipe to get a better feeling about the mod . i like it so far

About my compilation... hm...there is a lot to say about it , i'll make it short :

Updating progress is slow : i now have a javazon , a melee necro and a holy melee finished hatred (levels 64 , 65 , 66) , will play one rebounder , a bow druid , a caster sorceress( with ice elementals) and some assassin build (i don't know what build to pick yet . i never really liked this class ) . i intend to finish hatred with all this builds and then make a good idea about the general gameplay updates i need to make to the compilation . after this i will play all those builds till they finish terror , update the general gameplay again , finish destruction with them and then make updates , aquire all charms and then new updates to the gameplay and to 7 miniguides .

once that is completed , i will update the other miniguides and add a few more -> i got 11 new ones on my pc left since 2012 patch that i haven't had time to add to the compilation and i bet there are a few more to make .

+ the "farming frenzy" i need to do for SU items and runes

my available time for gaming is kinda short , maby about 2 or 3 hours each day (compaired to 12+ i had before) . this said , i hope i can do at least half of what i intend to do untill summer comes ( a month and a half)

impressions so far :
- Ultimative is easyer than MXL at least untill i'll reach end game ubers
-the level challenge 0 is a great boost for untwinked gameplay , the extra gold find is very usefull
- i found a gift box with my first character (javazon) and it gave me the TU cervelierre , TU jitan kamon + TU setzschield . and i tought to myself "what a wonderfull world" . A very nice gift .
- the character orb... ...eh... i really lol'ed when i've seen what i can do with it . example : 30% free leech for 15 apples ? halved the leech handicap compaired to MXL ? weapon damage based builds ? hatred is cheesecake and i bet terror will be the same . "do not use at 120" does this mean that it will become useless once you hit level 120 with your character and that this was some sort of help (only) for early-mid untill you can aquire some serious charms ?
- i like the sunstones change + scroll of resistances
- i like the towns/maps rework + the merc gearing . question: can there be implemented a new type of mercs to hire from act 4 ?
- the long health bar for important opponents is a good idea , the crowds density rework is nice . the re-balanced difficulty of some bosses is good but i didn't understand why i had to hit the last of the 3 barbarians on mount arreat for 5 minutes while it didn't make any damage to me . i think he has some serious ammounts of avoid(?) implemented . their damage could be heavy boosted in order to be a challenge , for now it was a 5 miunte waste of hitting with the weapon . this was the only uncool thing in hatred to my humble oppinion , but it isn't very important

I'm having a great time playing this. wish me luck

saving this one and those 8 posts bellow for updating the compilation . i need some space
