Insane Difficulty: Next d2 LP - Insane Difficulty

What should Insane difficulty play next, the Median XL mod or the Hell Unleashed? Post thoughts here so we know what we're doing next do to the fact that we finish Hell Act4 and 5 tomorrow night. Let us know!

I voted Hell Unleashed because I support people who make good games harder

There might be another mod we should consider, Battle for the Elements. I hear this mod is the KING of difficulty.

I don't really care for either since they're both hard.

Median XL changes the whole game so it's not like we're playing Diablo all over again. It has TONS of endgame content and mini-quests that we can do and unique dungeons. I THINK though that the endgame doesn't begin until the Nightmare-equivalent difficulty but I could be wrong.

If we go for Hell Unleashed, we're gonna start from Normal again, no? Unless this is vastly harder from Normal, I dunno if we're gonna go for Normal -> Nightmare -> Hell again or just end at Nightmare or Normal.

I think my choice depends on gameplan; whether we plan on finishing all 3 difficulties, or just stick to the Normal one.

Median XL looks very fun to play

I vote Median XL. So I can have my revenge.

Also so I can drop the hammer.

<-- is the other dude who is unimportant to Serdash. XD

I laughed so hard when I opened a TP, I died, Nocat ran right through and got SWARMED.

Well, DII and LOD ladder resets tomorrow (Oct 25th).

Ladder Marathon?

One central character.

The whole party rallies to ensure that one character (to be referred to as #1) survives. Survival of #1 is put above all others. Since it is hardcore, other members create backups in case someone dies (backups built upon when not recording).

Goals:
Hell completion, #1 reaching lvl 99

Interim goals:
Normal, Nightmare completion, #1 reaching lvl thresholds (25, 50, 75)

Fail:
#1 dies

Ladders reset every six months. We can try this blind (since reset is actually the 28th, 9AM), or plan it all out and attempt this on the next reset.

Hardmode - #1 is Amazon, and can only lvl up Passive skill tree.
