Patch 1.13 soon here!!!!

Re: Patch 1.13 soon here!!!!

Thank you kindly mwhighlander :) I understand the process and it's issue better now.

I note in the link you added that the Necro is getting some nice bonuses (not the least of which is the increase to CE) but I'm curious to see how the removal of the BG's negative drain effect will affect it's popularity.

Looking forward to the reset XD

The current changes are only a minority of what V1.13 will be.

TBH I really hope so, from the patch notes listed...or lack thereof, I couldn't imagine how it would take them almost a year to implement the changes in the post Bashiok made.

Well that's an easy question to answer as to why it took a year over of what would be a week of work to a team of professional programmers: Lack of interest, significant and extended delays, failure to "patch" errors and bugs like a patch should, false advertisement of extended content, and World of Warcraft/ Warcraft III clearly having precedence over Diablo.

Quick Summary, Blizzard feels little love for a 10 year old game that brings in little money when Diablo III is supposedly on it's way. Although I suspect DIII won't even be in beta by 2015 so I'll just have to forget DIII almost exists and go back to my old "awww I wish they made another Diablo game" state of mind.

Aye. It's clearly a case of "why bother since the players will all be coming back and giving us thier money for D3 anyway".

Right now any patches they make for D2 are a matter of customer service rather than profitable business and as I (in the corperate world) can assure you . . . that makes the project somewhat less than of primary concern :coffee:

It's more a reflection of their support to provide for their games after market sales. With what they have done to support D2, to say the least I am skeptical of D3, especially without the help from Blizzard North, the original creators of Diablo. After all ,the current blizzard working on D3 is the creators of Warcraft, so no wonder there is resemblance and I'm not a fan of Warcraft... at all.

Maybe we finally get the bigger stash. :D

I wish, but I could have sworn I heard there was a huge technical hurdle that would cause server instability or something lame like that. Regardless, I'm sure the server would be much happier if we just had bigger stashes and half the mule's. Also, it would be awesome to have a 'caravan travler' just like in Titan Quest, for both D2 and D3. That way you can stash stuff you want to save for other builds and not have to worry about muling.


 
Re: Patch 1.13 soon here!!!!

Any solution to the xfer / mule issues would be a godsend. Unfortunately, there is not enough effort or time at blizzard to accomplish this.
 
Re: Patch 1.13 soon here!!!!

Personally I wouldn't mind a horse riding/mounted feature like in Sacred Gold but it might not really be all that practical in D2.

In that link Blizzard did say that they were having issues with the stash. I don't think it's going to happen.
 
Re: Patch 1.13 soon here!!!!

No, just for the update, they announced that in early December there WILL BE NO EXTENDED STASH SIZE. And any mount/riding system in Diablo would be far from the norm and wouldn't seem to fit in, especially since you are in combat constantly.
 
Re: Patch 1.13 soon here!!!!

Ah so that was confirmed *nods*

Well no on the mounted topic the combat system for playing mounted was actually quiet simple in sacred gold it just basically gives you increased dam and you take no damage until your mount is killed and you fall on your bum :wink:

But I agree that it wouldn't fit in for D2, I just really like mounted combat lol
 
Re: Patch 1.13 soon here!!!!

That is not a legitimate way to stop the whole issue of " I can't carry all the items I want in a loot based game". Also, anyone have any REAL updates on the 1.13 patch? anything more recent than "It is live"?
 
Re: Patch 1.13 soon here!!!!

Seems the patch was re-released to PTR a few days ago (http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23393069953&sid=3000). The extra changes that jump out at me in this one are:

[BLUE="http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23393069953&sid=3000"]
- Fixed an issue where some players could kill other players while in town
("TPPK").
- Fixed an issue where some players could disconnect other players when
they had too many active states.

- Fangskin should now properly drop loot in Hell difficulty.
- Fixed an issue where the Paladin class runeword 'Principle' wasn't
having all of its stats applied properly.

- Combo points awarded by combo moves now last 15 seconds, up from 9.
[/BLUE]

Still waiting for the reset though ideally, but good to see Blizzard is still doing something :whistling:
 
Re: Patch 1.13 soon here!!!!

Oh nice, thx Orhpan. OOOOOooo combo points last 167% longer now? So they are trying to attempt to make martial arts assassins and feral rage, or whatever that skill is --- classes better? that's nice. It's also good to see something is being done as well.
