Are you happy with the changes ?

I hoped for some new useful unique items ... sadly there are none
But I am REALLY HAPPY if there is no more duping , it will be entirely new experience for me. Unique items will have value once more. Also removing IM is making possible for me to run CS with summon necro and zealot. Im not happy about nerfing the hammerdins but respecs are welcome addition. Runes have higher drop chance and are orange colored which is cool but with no duping obtaining high runewords will be more difficult and thats awesome. Overall im pleased with the changes ( unless they find a new way to dupe ). What about you ?
 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

yes im happy with the changes. my 2 favorites changes are the respecs and the removal of IM.
 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

for me, i want new ladder reset, to play =)).. All other things who comes in this patch is extra bonus =))..

New Uber challange, sounds very intresting... I thinking about install wow agin but when saw this new yesterday evening i change my minds and, this just something have waiting sence April 2009.....

I am very very happy about with patch changings.. And we muste remember this is a patch, only not expansions, and they still make new changes in futures.. I think is comes one huge patch before we see Diablo3

:coffee: :wink:

Edit: Yes, the changes are nice. In particular the respecs and Hdin nerf, and the fixing of duping (although I doubt they touched all the private methods).
However, what dissatisfies me to no end is their priorities, as evident from the two links above. That and the time it took for them to make this...
 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

colored runes and no more IM makes me happy

it's not the final build so maybe we will see some more changes.
 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

lol @ the dartboard, Greizer that's exactly how I felt when I read the skill notes - very dartboard-ish.

I love the nerf to Hammerdins. The build is still seriously lame/strong though (unchanged in PvP, doh).

I am very interested in the chance of higher runes dropping, but we have to see how much of an improvement it is. Changing it from 0.000000000000000000000001% to 0.000000000000000000000002% makes no difference, so we'll have to see how much of an actual increase in rune drops it was.

Also looking forward to making some MEAN melee Spear Amazon. Removal of Iron Maiden is very interesting for melee classes, although I think it dumb downs the game quite a bit. I'd rather see a damage reduction in monsters' IM so that it isn't a 1 hit kill, but players would still have to watch out - in a way you can die if you keep hitting like an idiot under IM. Now with IM totally out of the way, just wear your Dracs and hold down your mouse button enjoying invincibility.

Anyway, anything is better/less idiotic than playing with 7 Hammerdins every run. Every class can melee with powerful runewords, so more variety is to be expected.

I like the patch.

*equips dracs and holds down right click for whirlwind*

WOOO CS IS GETTING DESTROYED!
 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

No I'm not lol. They should nerf fire sorc, not light sorc. Light sorc = dead PvP build. And they were already the weakest sorc.
 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

I am very happy that my barbs can now frolic freely in the Chaos Sanctuary and Worldstone Keep without having to worry about being instantly killed without warning.
 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

Idk. Mixed feelings. As for Chaos runs with barbs, we can already slaughter the place in three minutes. I still like the loss of IM, but Hmm... Don't they now need to up the hp on hell monsters AGAIN or else the game becomes even more ridiculously easy?

I know people roll their eyes at the dupe fix part, but imagine if duping is greatly reduced. That alone would make a huge impact.

Oh crap...I forgot about something. AD BOTS! Sigh. Private password games I guess. TPPK still there too.

Actually, the list of junk they could have worked on is fierce. What about all that badness of temp bans? And game crashes? Does the change with firestorm on torches help prevent game crashes? I hope so. Too many broken skills untouched. I knew all the requests for window screeny resolution things would become a problem where it hogs the show. Gosh, there are only two things listed under the Mojor Bug Fixes heading. What's going on?

Edit: teleport alone still destroys any sense of balance in the game. I hope everyone is happy they got their resolution cosmetic issues satisfied instead. And orange text...more cosmetic stuff. Hmmm.
 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

No I'm not lol. They should nerf fire sorc, not light sorc. Light sorc = dead PvP build. And they were already the weakest sorc.

and now they are even weaker then you could think was possible. yes, its sucks to be light sorc, but i will make one because i love them that much, or was just because got build in mind for her? damned, cant remember any more ^^, through nerfing them, is waste imo. what they should have done, is buff up lighting skills, and nurf LM for a dual dreaming sorc, come one, 100k dmg is damn silly.

fire sorc? gosh, i just hate how many fire immune there are, and for god sake, no changes for cold tree? like, it doesnt need fixing? HELLO, GLACIAL SPIKE SUCKS, ICE BLAST > GLACIAL.

and i hate to say it, bu light sorc untweenked = dead. stupid choice, and next to useless, you still can play her, but no sorting out with Thunder Storm? so again, that's a useless skill?

bye bye hammer bots, hello barb bots. no im with life leech and mana leech = new bots. welcome bot character swap. long last ( sarcasm )

fire bo zon? how about fixing stupid amount of fire immunes? did any one made to hell yet? have immunity been fixed in some way?

and while i am in mood to go through all chars, lets have a look at necro:

CE does more damage. my arse it needs more damage. at p1 it is best pvm skill, not you wonna make it awesome skill on p8? :O

poison nova damage increased. okay, fair enough, that should boost poison nova abuse. yes, abuse. without need of insane amount of +psn skills -epr it can work, and with some gear, you ll kill all. how wonderful?

zon: as if any body cares about immolation zons? get rid of cool down all you needed to fix ¬¬

on positive side, no more game crashes for mellee chars with torches.

but what about looooooooooooooot? i am happy you like respec, it is good, but come on, dont you think we deserve more items? rune words?

and talking about rune words, it should be easier to get like, make it happens by 10 times better. i know a lot of people who NEVER found a single rune in whole ladder. and i am not talking about people who plays only 2 hours a week, i am talking about best rare/unique build out there, all staff self found, and still finding not a single hr. cubing is not fun. finding hr is.

now i am just gonna watch all realms getting dominated with barbs for 2 reasons.

low mana cost
awesome fcr table for enigma.
high damage with some items.
high passive res
mastery gives better crit
bit of CB
and other juice staff.

bye bye paladin domination

welcome barb domination

and lighting sorc getting abused again. less will to play here. you wanted awesome set item to make her awesome? there you are, only dual tree for you noobz.

I'm pretty sure they said they don't base game design around pvp but pvm. At least i'm 100% sure that's the case for d3.


 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

I'm quite happy with the changes. No more firebug, no more instadeeds due to off-screen IM, and with the increased rune drop rate I may actually find a high rune after a decade of playing.
 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

New uniques (or mixing up of the existing ones) and runewords I think is needed to bring more people to D2.

Removing the +1 teleport from Enigma is a key player request that was missed in this patch. Also elimination of the ADbots seems to have been missed as well.

Also, changing which monsters spawn in which area would be good as well.

Just my 2cents!!!

I guess they got too many replies with threats to cut off their... err, Enigma if they did that.



 
Re: Are you happy with the changes ?

There is the problem of retro-fitting all the existing Nl Enigmas. If it's not done, their price will skyrocket and only rich players will be able to pvp properly. If it is done, the owners of those Enis will not be very happy campers. I can see why they left this can of worms be; however the lack of real bug fixes and botting fix is inexcusable. If I wasn't shaking from D2 withdrawals, I'd steer clear of the game from now on. Clearly the end is looming for D2; I suspect that 1.14 will be the last patch and that these will be the patch notes:

"* Added back the cd-in-drive requirement (for your own good&protection)
* NPCs no longer sell manapotions (it was a bug and now working as intended)
* Cold Mastery now removes immunity from monsters (cause, like, cold r00ls lolz)
* Buffed hammer dmg 50% (to compensate for the earlier nerf)
* Zod runes are now purple instead of orange (just for the hell of it)

Enjoy the new patch; see you in D3 in 2013! -Kisses, your man Bashiok"
