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

Holyknight30005947d 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.

Recka5947d ago

Hmm very interesting that they are putting it back into production

Cogo5947d ago

How so. What's so interesting?

Recka5947d ago

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

Redrudy5946d 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.

Redrudy5947d 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.

SCFreelancer5947d 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? ^^

Leord5947d ago

Yes, just as I said...

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

IaMs125946d 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?

Leord5947d 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

Cogo5947d 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.

Fyzzu5947d ago

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

Medievaldragon5947d ago

Ouch, this patch is really a dent in their record

Dorjan5947d 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!

Leord5947d ago

In the otherwise flawless record? lol

toaster5947d ago

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

Blizzard Wants Faster Diablo Releases and More Expansions

Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.

QuantumMechanic56d ago

All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.

VonAlbrecht56d ago

Ah, more and fast - the antithesis of careful and good

Christopher56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.

Michiel198956d ago

what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.

Michiel198955d ago

i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.

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.

1nsomniac1089d 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!
