I can’t even
A fellow by the name of egodbout2 has taken it upon themselves to recreateDiablo IIin the form of a project called “The Curse of Tristram.” But it’s not just any old fangame, it’s actually amodforStarCraft II. Impressive!
What’sreallyweird to me is seeingDiablo IIwith a smooth framerate without any latency drops. For the first year of release I never actuallysawDuriel on-screen — my PC would lag so much when entering the area, that I had to just hold shift and queue up an ability and hope I won with a group of friends. As my buddy Joey once said “the real boss isn’t Duriel, it’s the lag.”
Before you get your armchairs out to analyze the legality of the situation, note that it’s very unlike that Blizzard would shut it down given that it’s a mod that people have to buyStarCraft IIto access. The alpha should launch this summer for free in Battle.net Arcade.
