Diablo II 1.13

[altwight]

About a month ago Blizzard made an official thread asking for 1 thing you'd like to see in their patch notes for 1.13. Recently they said a release could be as early as the end of April.

Apparently this patch is going to be so big they're opening a test realm to test it for feedback before they release it.

What're changes you'd like to see in Diablo II for 1.13? What do you hope they change/fix?

#1 No teleport on enigma
#2 Improved Anti hack
#3 More uniques
#4 More low lvl runewords
#5 Improve the rate of poofing from duped items (same as 2 basically)

I would really like to see things in Diablo II be rare. As a reference to FFXI you don't see everyone walking around in Morrigan's and busting ultimate gear in 2days. I think if they cracked down on the rune dupes it'd be much better.

At the same time increasing the rate of rare drops but not to the extent you can pimp a char in a day without luck.

awesomeness, personally idc about d3 just cause its going to be so long before we see light on it futher.

1.13 looks promising though

I quit when mousepads went down... It's really hard for me to play this game after beating normal if I can't maphack my way through stuff.

I was always hoping they'd do something like once you've explored the map completely, it's always explored in any new game. Asking for too much from Blizzard I know, but still the only way I'd play D2 again.

That kinda stuff is why I hope they never listen to people like altwight, take away my maphack... sure.
But take away my teleport on enigma too? Fuck that.

Did you seriously suggest that they should be worrying about keeping items rare in a nine year old non-MMO game?

[Doombard]

ladder seasons..... thats why

I don't see a problem for this in ladder, but anything else should be put aside for this.

[Maxxthepenguin]

In ladder, I guess it sort of matters (I never really played ladder, I get too attached to my characters), but people still have shit worked out to a science. I really don't think it's going to be a better game if people have to grind Mephisto for 20 hours instead of 10.

The only real enjoyment left in Diablo 2 is playing Hardcore. Even that loses its luster after a few weeks, since dying is almost impossible (unless you're on 56k or something)

[Dezzimal]

The ability to redo skill trees on characters, maybe like a 1day CD or some sort of horadric cube recipe that takes a bit of work to assemble.

All I want is for them to bring back Azurewrath crystal sword. =/

Yeah, I remember not being able to "respec" was a major pain in the ass when I was just learning the game.

Even better, you put 20 points in one thing, there is an update, and it become absolutely worthless.

1.10 did that to every single one of my characters, most especially my nova sorc T_T

but i hope they put in more low level runewords, runewords are fun and a fairly easy way to get some not entirely shitty gear but you'd always need one stupid fucking hard to get rune

[Rivero]

I mean I seriously doubt they can release something in a small patch that would really bring a lot of people back. Everyone wants to see D3 and has other shit to play while waiting. : p

Although I definately want to try and set a Hamachi D2 with 4-5 of my good friends, but aside from doing that I had no intention whatsoever of going back to D2 after beating Uber Tristam.

[Enkidu]

D2 patches are always pretty big. I stopped playing at 1.09d, and 1.12 was almost a completely different game when I came back.

Still not sure if I'll play some when the new ladder is started. I know inevitably I'll just get extremely bored, start writing autoit scripts and bot for a few weeks, probably get bant, and quit again -.-

Out of all the Diablo II patches, I've never heard of them being tested before release. This isn't going to be a minor update. In my opinion it will probably be bigger than 1.10

Hmm...well I still have my CD-Key stored somewhere just in case. : p
