A concept in TSW mod that you may not have in vanilla D2

In this article I want to add as I didn't mention in previous article.

General Introduction of all careers in my opinion (2)

 In my experience, there are two branches of Assassin, Martial Art Assassin and Trap Assassin. They are contrasts to each other. One is very busy and stressful, the other one is the opposite. So I will introduce one by one individually. And again, I will let it be like a story rather than a technical instruction. After all, this is just a chatting of a old player.

General Introduction of all careers in my opinion (1)

This introduction is based on my experience of playing all careers. It is my opinion so it is not totally correct. Just take them as reference. I will describe my thought about them like why I do or do not. I will mention the pros and cons. But basically some cons are in my imagination, so it may be not so precise.

My first team play in TSW mod.

 After over five years of playing TSW mod alone, I got my two cousins play TSW mod together. But they had not played Diablo 2 for over ten years, not to mention TSW mod. Yet they watched me play before, and I just told them it is a hard mod as they could see. So at first when I invited them, I just thought we may stay in Nightmare. 

What career would I suggest for new players?

 I just mentioned Paladin in previous article. And I say that Paladin is a convenient career which has pros and cons. So, would I suggest this career for new player? Or do I have another choice?

A long way of changing my concept of playing Diablo 2 by TSW mod

 I originally wanted to write a article about the mistakes or something needed to learn when playing TSW mod as a new player. But I found it was too serious or too bored to write. And I have written them in Chinese. So I'd rather chat than teach.

Factors that affect the difficulty in TSW mod.

 Well before talk about the issue there is something I want to mention. In the following description it is based on the lv100 characters. So if you play from lv1, such situation may not suit you. You need to adjust or give up some function or whatever. It is because in the early version of TSW, it is not designed for low level characters where normal monsters are overwhelming. For example, a wizard in act1 can kill a new character by one cast. Which means you have to avoid All the cast by wizards. Only one mistake can kill you. I had the experience so I gave up playing from new character, and even though now TSW mod has changed, such event won't happen, I still don't like to do it due to the memory. And also what I want is knowing the limit of the character including my mechanic, not the level up process, I prefer full level characters.

The moment that I found I was not normal.

 Diablo 2 is a single and online game which you can choose. I think every player knows about it. And in the vanilla game I was a single player while I played it online just like most of other players I guess. Which means most of the time I made a room and mf myself. Only a few time I played with others. This also affect my time of playing D2 TSW mod. Since I was used to it. So as I played D2 TSW mod, I was alone for sure. That was not a problem for me. Some people may hope to play with others, they want the feeling of cooperation. Well at the time I didn't expect that and besides there is no other players of D2 TSW mod either. So I played this mod for about four years around.

How did I become a D2 TSW mod player?

 In the past I post some pro articles which introduce the feature of this mod and new character buildings in Chinese. However, the result looks not so good. So I am wondering how to write the articles about the mod in English because I don't want to translate the old articles. You can find it in the link below: (and of course it is Traditional Chinese)

General Speaking

This is a blog for introducing the D2 TSW mod (The Sin War mod) by a D2 TSW player, not the author.

As a player, I did love this mod and I tried to promote it years ago but not quite succeed. Actually you can say it was a failure if by the number of players. It seemed that no more than 10 players added with my efforts. I began to play this mod in 2013, and now I am "retired", which means that yet I do feel fun about this mod, but I now seldom play it because I have reached my personal limited, nothing new to me and I also know how to do in the game. This makes me feel some kind of "boring", which means "not so fresh", but I have to say it is fun, just not so fresh. So you will not feel the enthusiasm to do, to research and test, because you all know how to do. That is what I called "boring".
