Upcoming Diablo 2 1.13 Patch

I downloaded D2 from battle.net using my old key and now for some reason it says my version is corrupted and I can't play on b.net >.< whats up with that?

nvm,

UAC was making this happen.

I just installed D2 two days ago in preperation for a new experience, I'm excited about it!

I agree, physical damage builds have become nearly useless, they need to get rid of all the elemental/magic damage emphasis and PLEASE bring back hell cows! Hell Cow runs >>>> Baal runs
 
lol I just started playing again last night for fun. added lazenby's mod which makes the game all new with different skills, trees, and sets. Good times.
 
You couldn't have posted this like 6 days ago when that thread opened 'eh? Can't post suggestions now, and most of the ones I see are "OMG make items more godly and drop more often!"

Pointless...
 
All they would need to do is fix duping and purge any duped items and I would be happy. I hope they have seriously addressed this problem in D3.
 
Still TBA for D3..

Might have to fire it up again. Have not played in a looong time. :)

Good to see that the game is still active.
 
Most of Blizzards multiplayer games are still alive and well. Not sure about Warcraft 2 though, haven't played that online in forever. Diablo 1's population fluctuates in the hundreds, but you can still manage to play with people. The rest though, Diablo 2, Starcraft, Warcraft 3 always have atleast tens of thousands of people playing at any given time.

I thought as much, as the "rest" are very good games. To me, and quite a few others, at least. ;)

Blizzard and Valve will be the ones online forever it seems....
 
I would like to see a Multi-Resolution patch that works online, D2multires doesn't work online.:(
 
nice.. just grabbed the old DII disks and installing right now... wooo how does it work on Vista64? any issues?

i think only runes are still heavily duped, Baalbots have pretty much made item farming easy enough so that there are way more legit items in circulation. bots are more of an issue than dupes.
 
playing when the ladder resets is the best time to get into D2 because everything is fresh and no one has access to all the duped items/runewords. at this point and time it's lame logging into Bnet because everyone is running around with high runes and their respective runewords...
 
Its been sitting in my battle.net account for ages now. I never got into it and I doubt that a new patch will change anything.
 
wow... fired up diablo 2 again for the first time in ages... looks like poo on my westy 37 @ 800x600... playing that for a little bit then playing lotro is like such a contrast it's laughable.. *sigh* well, maybe I will try the hi-res mod..

there is a high resolution mod?

the resolution limitation are seriously annoying, especially on high resolution screen...

I wish they have add it to their new patch and actually fix the dupe problem....it gets annoying...

I am running vista 64 and have had no issues with D2, even with the Multires exe to play in 1680. You should be good.
 
I play D2 in a window (800*600)

the window size is tolerable on my 22" (res 1680*1050) outside of occasionally mousing outside the D2 window
 
So long as they fix the "realm down" crap while you're trying to magic find... I'll be happy.

They're trying to discourage people from running bosses and super uniques close to WP's over and over in quick succession for drops, that's why they implemented that. They tried adding more regular unique monsters in the game to encourage normal play, but it failed horribly.
 
People who are using the Multires patch for Diablo 2, could you post pics of what it looks like?
 
I'm amazed they're still releasing patches for a game released almost a decade ago.

Blizzard still updates Starcraft

I wouldn't be surprised if D2, SC, and WC3 player populations are still competitive with current non-MMO multiplayer games due to low sys reqs and bnet.
 
Why not, the game is still alive and well and will be i am sure even after D3 is comes out.

it is smart, it keeps people interested and i am sure they have sold plenty of new copies of D2.
 
D3 isn't coming out anytime soon, so might as well keep on playing Diablo 2.
 
I can't figure out how to get D2 to play in windowed mode. I installed the multires 'patch'. Anyone care to give me a hand?
 
If they patched in higher resolutions, I'd be all over D2 again. I know we can use a 3rd party tool to do it, but I want to play on Battle.net. That really should be one of the first things they patch if they're doing enhancments. Then they need to ad the ability to respec!

They didn't allow higher res because they claimed that it was an advantage that not every player would have, because of the fixed camera. Remember, when this game was being originally developed they didn't even plan to have 3d acceleration, that's how long ago this was.
 
I tried playing D2 again last week and it was unbearable after playing WoW since 2004. While the 800x600 resolution is god-awful, the fact I can't turn my camera angles sucks even more.

Which is valid. However, that was then -- they could easily go to 1280x1024 and everyone will be able to play it!

No doubt, but it would also kinda change the way the game is played, which is something they don't really want to take on at this point.
