Diablo 2 1.13 PTR is UP

Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

According to Orphan and his digging through the game files, it appears to be a 3x increase.
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

Waited 20 minutes to create a game, then lost the connection, now have to start all over. Frustrating.
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

I almost pissed myself when I saw this lol

I wonder if they mean that duping has been fixed?!?!
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

Yes. ****ing YES. I was one of the few that voted before christmas :>> I like the changes, short simple and to the point. It's pretty much whatever the community asked for. I am not sure about removing iron maiden completely. I liked the idea but for much much less percentage of the damage you deal. Anyway, I hope for no more dupes :)

Now i'll read the rest of the thread!

****ING YES
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

This 'patch' is a travesty... I think this picture sums it up pretty well:

I honestly can't fathom how it took them 8 months for these changes... I'll still play since I'm such an addict, and I'm glad that Hdins got nerfed, etc - it's just that if you took some people from the community, say this forum, and gave them access to the game code, they'd have done a better job for FREE in two months max than Blizzard, maybe in one month. Things like the Fend bug, all the Lcs bugs, game full bug, tppk, botting, etc, will most likely never be fixed now... I still hope there's a 1.14 patch but I'm not holding my breath at this point.

And yes, now I'm off to make a lvl 99 Sorc and gamble a few trillion gold. So? It doesn't change anything I've said. Just because you give me a candy bar doesn't mean I'm not disgruntled over my non-existing free mansion, dammit. Yes, with new Unique bunnies. :steam: :doh: :hammerhead: :badteeth:

Edit: "An error occurred during the patch process. Please try reinstalling the game and re-applying the patch. If this error occurs again, please contact Blizzard Technical Support.

Fudge this, I'm getting a girlfriend instead. & Telling mommy never to buy a Blizzard product again.
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

- Fixed an item dupe bug.
- Increased the drop rate of high runes.
- Removed Oblivion Knight's Iron Maiden curse.
- Uber Mephisto and Uber Baal's summoned minions no longer give experience.
- Blessed Hammer - No longer ignores resistances of undead and demons.

$_$

I don't really like the removal of IM. Just make it return a LOT less damage.

I don't play pvp but it seems slightly ignored in the whole deal. I wouldn't mind nerfing enigma slightly in one way or another (ignoring the + skills and take too much mana or remove mf or remove frw).

Overall, it's short simple and to the point, i like it :) Someone should make petition for UberDiablo spawning completely random on 1 ip per two days or something. I can't see any way that this would not be better

**** YES

edit: the orange color is a nice touch too :)
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

Meh. This took 8 months?

With the exception of the change to BH, this is just making an easy game only easier.
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

Respec now allows your character to be a caster one day, melee the next day.
Quite useful if you always wanted to be the first melee necro to reach 99; start by making a CE build, then switch to melee at 99. :p
On the other hand, it's probably good that people new to the game can use their precious first character all the way, and even compensate those wasted points in the beginning.

As for myself, I can now make a 99 sorc and 99 zon that works. My 1.09 nova sorc and multishot-zon didn't work very well after 1.10+, now they can be deadly again. Too bad they have cheesy names and are on the wrong account. Fix please! :D

HC people will not be happy the TPPK issue still isn't fixed. :whistling:

Twisted Essence of Suffering(Andy/Duriel)
Charged Essense of Hatred(Meph)
Burning Essence of Terror(Diablo)
Festering Essence of Destruction(Baal)

Hopefully this is true and that means no respecking in Classic as there is no Baal :alright:



 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

LOL the only cool feature is the resolution fix, I really hate 800x600 thats like stoneage resolution. BTW does hammerdins being nerf means that infinty price will go up?? does infinity will help hammers kill second wave? if not, then what build would be the choice to run hell or to do mf? im kind of worried coz im poor by nature be it non-ladder or ladder.
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

i have read maney posts here and maney player thinks that this is last patch to diablo2 or last thing, but remember this is just patch, not expansions, so they can change things fast and add some more challange to game.. Maybe is very limit to add more uberbosses or new Area. Soon comes diablo3 and D2 server will disepear....

I think there's a tiny bit of exaggeration here. :D


 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

...so they can change things fast..
Ahem... Where have you been for the last 8 months? :coffee: :scratchchin: I have been waiting for the patch... :jig:

Got it to work on my other copy eventually... Tried a Windy and Trap assa since I could get instant lvl 99. Boy am I glad I've never manually leveled these chars. They're so not my playstyle at all. Then I tried Fo/Es (to have mana in the beginning) and Es/Fw. Then I thought: what's the point? I will not be able to keep these chars after all. Perhaps I should try gambling for the minor excitement. Meh. I hope this phase doesn't last as long as the wait for the patch itself... :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

Edit: Qveasd you fudging ninja... :D You've done this to me before. I suppose I should post faster or I'll get hired by Blizz one of these days. :hammerhead: :doh:


 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

The removal of IM is glorious. Now I can run Diablo and Baal with my barbs and not worry about randomly getting one-shotted.
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

i'm just flabbergasted that tppk hasnt been fixed. I actually prefer hardcore play, because you run into less n00bs, but good Lord, with tppk running lose, its just a giant grief festival (and I'm not talking about the runeword :hammerhead:).

why is it so hard to fix? Hostility agreement, or hostility timer. Boom. Fixed. Voila'. Bada-bing.
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

Can't make games on Europe now (or is there only one PTR for all continents?); it says "Server Down" when I try to. No games to join either it seems. Go Go, Team Blizzard! :thumbup: :scratchchin:
 
Re: 1.13 PTR is UP

It would appear there is only one PTR, which is completely down at the moment. Nobody can make games, and there are no games to join.

Probably a result of cramming everyone in the world onto one realm.
