[Epiphany]

Hi,

Not sure that this affects too many people here but I think a few may be interested.

Oh no my 'one' ladder char will be relegated

Significant update from Bashiok :

So yeah, we're still working on the patch. It's coming along really well. We're getting there. I can't give an estimate or date, we're expecting there to be a good amount of testing required due to the types of changes being made. We want to take our time and put out a solid patch, and that means we don't have a release date right now.

Some exciting news - and it also may be some comfort - due to the types of changes we're making we will be offering the Diablo II 1.13 patch for testing and feedback on a test realm before its release. We'll have more information about how you'll be able to help test it in the coming weeks.

Sounds like MAJOR changes coming. I'm hyped about this.

It does indeed, am impressed that they are doing so much for this game still

I'm impressed that you made a ladder character

LOL, it was for the last reset when we were doing 'clan games' for a while. Haven't really played her since tbh

 

[Pit.Sweat]

Ah, I've been in the odd few games with Pif but am back on WoW for a time. Will keep dropping into D2 - especially on a Thursday afternoon though

 

[Epiphany]

I wonder if we can muster enough enthusiasm for another clan game or two when the reset happens?

..might be our last chance eh before Diablo3 although I suspect they'll squeeze in another.

Cheers

If we can agree on a day/time am sure we can manage a few

It's coming along. We're still in the process of refining and testing the changes going into the patch. Work is progressing, we haven't stopped working on it or anything like that.

As far as information of what's being changed in the patch, almost anything we're working on now could be removed. Testing could deem any change unworkable and we'd have to remove it. By releasing any information on possible changes we'd be raising expectations that the change is guaranteed to make it in, no matter how many disclaimers we place on it. That said, one change we're planning is to increase the stash size to 12x10. As I said it is in no way a guaranteed change. Any number of reasons could mean it will not make it into the final patch. But enjoy the breadcrumb maybe?
