Diablo II Expansion Announced

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the if-only-I-had-a-linux-port dept.

Fiwer wrote in with some interesting news with the only game I'll run windows for (god I wish they'd release a Linux port). They've announced an expansion pack that will probably be out next summer. Will feature Act V, as well as 2 new classes: Asassin and Druid. You can read the story on DiabloII.net or the Game Center Version (which has more screenshots, but requires you to click through one page-at-a-time. I hate that. I'm still wandering around as a sorceress named CmdrTaco (currently in Hell Act 3) and running into quite a few Slashdot folks out there. Not that its got me a stone of jordan *grin*

  1. wine works fine by coolo · · Score: 5

    I'm playing Diablo II only using wine
    and it works perfectly (the single player
    mode I'm using at least - the multiuser
    mode was fixed two weeks ago though).

    I wanted to post this once, but abstained
    as you need a crack - wine can't get the
    copy protection to run. Other than that,
    it works just great.

    BTW: I'm using the stock wine that comes
    with the Caldera LTP ;-)

  2. The one big logic flaw in Diablo 2 by weave · · Score: 5
    Here you are, going out into all kinds of shit, and risking your ass, to save those pathetic villagers.

    And are they grateful? Oh yeah, maybe giving you a trinket or something or a whopping 10% discount in their shops. Oh boy...

    I mean, like, I retrieve a tool for the blacksmith in act 1 and she imbues it and that's it. Just once. Oh, thanks a lot. Er, how about making me whatever I want so I can save your friends and family while you sit here nice and comfy in your village, eh??

    Oh, and gee wiz. My stash is a bit small so I'm forced to sell all the great stuff I find at rip-off prices. Nice of you to profit from me almost getting myself killed and hauling this great loot back. How about allowing me to rent a PS Storage Shed for my loot for free?!

    But seriously, what a GREAT game. I mean, who really needs logic? Without having it the way it is, it wouldn't be the same!
