Graphics and Interface

The atmosphere remains the same — dark dungeons filled with demons and undead. However, the game now supports high resolution, which is especially important for modern monitors. The original resolution was 640×480, which looks poor on a 24-inch screen. The mod fixes this — visually, the game looks much better.

The interface has also been redesigned. Damage numbers, experience, and other useful data are now displayed (these options can be disabled). Health and mana bars have been redrawn, inventory and character windows improved, and a DPS metric (for regular attacks) added. Trading now resembles Diablo II — with a full graphical buy/sell window.

Monsters and Bosses

Monsters are stronger, and bosses are more challenging with an expanded arsenal of abilities. A new difficulty, Tournament, has been added, as well as support for the command $PLAYER X (where X is from 1 to 10), which strengthens enemies and increases rewards.

Items

The game includes new item effects — for example, mana and health regeneration. Added:

• "Yellow" rare items

• Belts with extra potion slots

• Sets that grant bonuses when the full set is worn

• Crafting system — items can be disassembled and new ones created

Spells and Skills

Each class now has 5 unique skills. The first is available at level 1, and the rest unlock as you level up (at levels 8, 16, 24, and 32). They remain useful even in late-game.

The number of magic schools has increased to six, with new spells added.

Classes:

• Original: Warrior, Archer, Mage

• New: Barbarian, Necromancer, Assassin

NPCs and Environment

NPCs now move around Tristram and interact with each other — the town feels "alive."
Added Gheed — a wandering trader offering rare goods at high prices and buying items at low prices.

Other Changes:

• Max level increased to 60

• Attribute potions now provide temporary effects

• Waypoint system introduced

• Save system redesigned (like in Diablo II)

• Some quests modified or moved to separate zones

• Shrine effects are now temporary and shown on-screen

• Added a chest with multiple tabs and a shared account chest
