Lol first you say that dupe wasn't a big problem and that dupe fix doesn't do much good to the game. Then you say that there is a huge abundance in runes, you didn't figure why was it so? Maybe cause of duping? Oh yea!
Raising rune drop rate doesn't make the worth less because if they fixed duping they will be many times more rare than now. Duping makes runes worth less not increasing drop rates by 3x. As someone said "In 1.13 finding zod will only take you 200 years instead of 800", in 1.12 you can get zod quite easy sinsce they are duped so much.
Duping has been apart of Diablo's life since Diablo 1 day 1. It will always be an issue. Fixing 1 dupe bug now instead of working on actual hacks is a waste of man power and will not help the economy at all. Duping is by far second class to hacks buddy. Runes will be cheaper cause now you don't have to buy them off people and you can find them yourself so thus there will be an even greater abundance of them. Thus cheaper...supply and demand.
Howabout playing the game like it should be.. no rush, no leech instead of whining about blizzard removing a huge exploit in the game?
How about you do that exact method for oh...I don't know 13 years total? Let me know how fun it is to rerun a very boring PvM game since it's so easy multiple times buddy. They didn't fix anything yet again waste of man power. Now instead of instant level 90's we have level 90's in a few days...congrats Blizzard you wasted yet again more man power on something that wasn't breaking the game nearly as bad as multiple other shit.
Eh? No threat. This doesn't make CS any easier for non melee. There are a lot of stuff in CS that can kill anyone (conv infector etc at least in classic). Iron Maiden was only pain in the ass for melee characters. And made it really hard for melee classes to compete in high levels because they couldn't really clear the place at all, or many times slower than casters.
Iron maiden was still ok pre-LOD and pre 1.10, I don't understand why they changed the reflection amount. After 1.10 1 hit can kill you which isn't really fun if your character is built to only hit with normal melee damage. Back pre 1.09 you could do whirls in CS when you were a bit careful and didn't go all out on big crowds. Short whirls and leap attack mages first was fun and exciting. Even if you got IM you probably lost about ? hp which was fine. Now you die pretty much instantly.
Chaos is a joke without IM. What's there to fear? Amp damage? How much life you got...1000? Oh no that lower res inferno those lords do on you are deadly! Chaos is a joke and can easily be run by any class, even melee could do it before if they were smart. They should of just modified the % of damage instead of removing it totally cause now Chaos is just as I said a joke. There is no threat unless you are bad and get taken out in PvM in a game where they essentially build your character up as a god.

Eh well i've done it like that since 2000.. You can get to 70-80 lvl in one day even if you do all the quests and run by yourself or with a friend or 2 that also started a new character.
Anyways blizzard still haven't gone to the root of the leeching problem. There were no leechers before LOD because all the exp were fully shared with party and if you grouped with a character higher than 10 levels than you, your part of exp would be so tiny that there would be no point leeching. Well a lot of things were better back then, but that what they should do if they'd want to remove leeching.

You didn't even read my post? What does iron maiden do to casters that are majority in this game.. nothing. And yes I have only 600-700 hp on my sorc in Classic. I know it is easy in LoD with all the uber items you get there.. the game is a joke in LoD, in classic thers still some challenges every now and then.
I didn't say that melee couldn't do it.. I only said that why is there 2 crucial areas in game where melee can't go all in while casters have nothing to fear there. As I said 1.09 challenge in CS was great but 1.10 is pretty much a suicide.
Why would you even care about iron maiden if u get rushed to 90 lvl in 2 hours? You don't play the content, other people do it for you.
In Classic HC all you see barbs doing is being either BO bots or BO bot/corpse popper. Now that they remove IM maybe they could do something else there too.
Anyways this seasons barb have gone to CS only about 5 times once soloed the whole thing with ww and 2hander mace.. it took 20 mins to lure the monsters out of mages etc. Then I've done it 4 or something times with a pala friend, I did a tanking job with lvl 1 war cry, wasn't very exciting.. and oh infector with conv does hurt, howl was handy though. Rest of the exp came from soloing river of flame, but I think it's fun that I could go to CS some times in 1.13 with a barb when River has sucky monsters that doesn't give exp at high levels.

Only reason there is somewhat of a challenge on Classic is cause when they up'd the monsters for .10 they up'd classic as well but didn't buff Classic with items. IM does do nothing for casters which is why chaos sanc should have the mana drain skill as well so it can be feared. IM and mana drain shouldn't be casted every 2 seconds but it should be something to watch out for.

Because the Chaos sanc is still a huge part of the game and one I don't want to see pussified. Just cause I am not running the content 10000000000000x doesn't mean I don't go there every now and then for shits and giggles. This will make it alot easier to go PK chaos games with a barb tho, so thanks Blizzard! Nothing to fear for Barb PK's now.

Well, they rape mercenaries, which usually have our Infinities or Insights on them. Good-bye mercs, hello immunities, limited mana (and then you have the monsters that steal all of your mana in a single hit, like the ghosts in Chaos Sanctuary that are everywhere), etc., etc.
wtf this isnt a respec. it just adds 3 more skills... wow
Say what? What does?

Being an advent Blizzard fan for many years, I expected this patch to be a great addition to the current game. However, I was very wrong. I believe this patch has actually hurt the game more than help it because Blizzard has taken a shit on its loyal Diablo fanbase.

If you are an advent Blizzard fan you should be no stranger to haveing Blizzard Shit on Diablo or it's fans. Like I have said before, Diablo be the bastard child of Blizzard Entertainment, probably cause they didn't actually come up with Diablo and just took over the company that did. The facts are there in history, Diablo always lands last in the race. Maybe Blizzard are to busy playing Street Fighter or horrible WoW to actually make a good game beyond SC.

I agree with you for the most part. I think the patch is definitely nothing what we expected because the excitement around it was pretty high.
By the way, I see you're in Tennessee. What part? I am too; West TN!

Im in East TN. Stupid little town called Rockwood. 2hrs from Nashville or 20 mins from Knoxville if you know it.
Yea i agree with you, Diablo is the bastard child of Blizzard. I am just returning to D2 again and saw a new patch so I was like OMG! a new patch, but after a quick sweep of the forums I was soon disappointed.
If they would have fixed the bots issue, tppk, removed / changed immune monsters, nerf enigma a bit, fix more known bugs... THEN it would have lived to its expectations... But damn...
Have you all seen the post "Y'all best be trollin'"?? That guy completely destroys the patch, and Bashiok does agree with him. Its in the latest blue-tracker, i suggest y'all have a gander

Bashiok responds with "I hear ya". That's just his way of saying he acknowledges the opinion, not that he's in agreeance. I believe you misinterpreted it.
The patch definitely doesn't meet my expectations. I didn't even have that high of expectations. I was hoping for more balancing of the characters. Though, Respec'ing adds quite a bit of game play variety. Now you can splurge your points into low level skills instead of strategizing your skill tree for the later levels. The first 30 levels should be more interesting.
I expected balanced skill. Nothing done except minor change.
Too many skills are still useless to put more than 1 point in it (bad design) (example : static lv5 could be the lv20, lv1 could be lower than 25%, it will be more coveted to put more points in it).
More "gameplay" change in few skills like vengeance/conversion combined with zeal or smething like that. Fist of heaven mustn't triggered anymore when you click next to a monster (when you want escape, you don't click on monster and the spell is cast anyway !)
Many change like that it's a must I waiting for...
