Diablo 2 Patch 1.13 back in Development

After much work and consideration, the much anticipated (and delayed) 1.13 patch is finally...

...back in development.

Perhaps a ladder reset now would act as a good diversion and take the heat off them while they develop the patch.

I was realy hoping for this to hit soon

Holyknight30005633d ago

Believe a lof of people have been, but have hopped for something more than a small blah patch.

I really want to respec my necro in USWest cuz i put skill points by accident in raise skelli when he's a bone necro.

They need to not take out the iron maiden of Oblivion Knights and fix those damn Hammerdins. I hope the bear druids fix will make them more valid builds than a rabis wolf.

Recka5633d ago

Hmm very interesting that they are putting it back into production

Cogo5633d ago

How so. What's so interesting?

Recka5633d ago

well I suppose them pulling it was more interesting then putting it back into preoduction but still...

Redrudy5632d ago

@ cogo, well it means they are making substantial changes to it rather than tweaking with fixes. It means the strong negative reaction to it has caused them to rethink the content, or lack of.

Redrudy5633d ago

This is good news, it at least means it's going to be more than minor changes to the patch. The patch fell short of a lot of peoples' expectations.

SCFreelancer5633d ago

While I do agree with you I wonder if they are able to come up with some additionals that will ensure this patch is not disappointing. If so, how much more time is it going to take this time? ^^

Leord5633d ago

Yes, just as I said...

The thing is, I'd rather have an underwhelming patch NOW, and get a 1.14 later on...

IaMs125632d ago

Well you know Blizzard they always take forever to release a patch, almost as long as some companies to make full games as these are just patches. Look at patch 1.10 was it?

Leord5633d ago

Well, I am not sure if I am supposed to laugh or cry...

The patch notes for 1.13 was underwhelming if anything, and now we're not even getting that? :P

Cogo5633d ago

I wouldn't do eother, but I'm definitely split between what to think. I guess it depends if it;s another year fro another underwhelming set of patch notes or not.

Fyzzu5633d ago

Seriously. It's not like there's much in there.

Medievaldragon5633d ago

Ouch, this patch is really a dent in their record

Dorjan5633d ago

Not really. They promise a patch and they deliver every time. In their own time. That is their rep and they are proving it again!

Leord5633d ago

In the otherwise flawless record? lol

toaster5633d ago

When has Blizzard released anything that hasn't been polished to meet their standards?

What Can Diablo IV Learn From Diablo II

Diablo IV may be the latest entry from the Diablo series, but it can sure learn a thing or two from the iconic Diablo II. Both of these games are different and similar to each other, but Diablo II's phenomenal presence should still be more appearing in Diablo IV to make the game even better in its current state.

Diablo 2 Receives 60 FPS Update Thanks To A New Mod

A fan-run initiative called Project Diablo 2 has brought a 60 FPS update for the classic Diablo title, among other changes.

1nsomniac775d ago

Boo! Thought this was eventually a patch for diablo2 on PS5. The fact that they can’t get that game to run in quality mode at 60fps is an absolute joke!

The game is still $25 +. I'm waiting for it to drop to the actual value of the product.

Quickstrike1045d ago

I would still feel ripped off getting it for free.

MadLad1044d ago

It's an awesome RPG they did a good job to modernize.
You may not want to play it, but it doesn't mean you need to act all edgy and crap on it.

anast1044d ago

D2 is a masterpiece. I want to play it but it is still too much of an ask right now.

sourOG1045d ago

I can’t fault activision on this one. “Hostile” for the delay in recognizing their power lmao. Yikes. Good luck with that MS.

coolbeans1045d ago

This attitude is why I'm not a big fan of the MS/Acti deal: you're essentially rewarding repulsive higher-ups with golden parachutes versus absorbing talent like the inXile/Obsidian deals.

MadLad1044d ago

But the Acquisition is actually ousting these people; allowing the company to move forward.

The current shareholders, despite all the toxicity and both public and internal outcry, just voted in Kotick yet again.

coolbeans1044d ago

That's a fair positive, but part of me still hoped their misdeeds would've bit them on the ass in a more damaging way.

MadLad1044d ago

Oh, I agree.
I would love nothing more to see someone like Kotick fired on the spot with every employee giving him a kick in the balls on the way out the door.

Unfortunately the world revolves around money, and he made the company a lot of it. Thus the jackass is still around.
