For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.It seems Sigma is actually a new and advanced engine for Diablo II that some of the Median XL people have been writing.Since its new, they basically have made it so that current engine limitations in Diablo II are overcome.
![]() CopyPasted from the intro of the post: Median XL: Sigma Something that has for long been a myth for many people (including myself) is finally coming together. ![]() Median XL: Sigma is basically a co-op project between me and whist. But. what exactly makes this patch any different to other ones It uses an enhanced engine. To briefly explain this, imagine Diablo II as an old building with people living in it. What median does is, change the people living in it, their clothes, etc. It adds new people with new patches and it removes people who behave badly. But there are limitations, some rooms have too many people in them, and things can get messy. The enhanced engine (or core, from now on) is the main feature of sigma, and what this does is replace the stairs with elevators, makes the rooms bigger, and a lot of other things that would normally not be possible. Core Features So, there are a lot of new features that are possible thanks to this new core. Having a new engine just opens up so many more possibilities. However, it sounds like the cost is ditching the current D2 project I have going (getting a 99er, finishing the grail, actually finishing other characters.try hardcore someday). Even if I never play Median XL, Its always interesting to see what they are up to. Its likely never going to be released. On the other hand however, by this time Im so used to these old graphics that I certainly dont mind either, and having better graphics might even take away from that nostalgic feeling for a bit. What Im afraid of that will happen, when I hear about projects like Sigma, is that well get far better graphics, but at the cost of some of the gameplay we have come to love about D2. More features doesnt necessarily mean better gameplay, and Id take old graphics old gameplay anytime over improved graphics worse gameplay. Thats why Im still hoping that Blizzard themselves will release a HD version of D2, leave gameplay almost completely as it it, and only get rid of the bugs that have been known for years now. O yes, and maybe some QoL changes like being able to craft in batches, have a run button. There is a historical outline with dates and descriptions on the site. ![]()
