This has to be a joke, patch 1.13 is a MAJOR disappointment...
Edit: It has to be a joke, I mean come on. The big mystery thing is a re spec amulet??? Wtf??? Does anyone at Blizzard even play Diablo 2??? I mean, you can't keep 2 entire sets for two different builds in your inventory so why make this re spec thing so big? The quest is fine but the amulet is rediculous. Especially when they build it up in the same way they built up Uber Tristram
WOW. Very disappointed. I know its an old game but does it really take this much time to make small changes to such an old game. Is the programing of this old game that complicated that it takes so long? Considering how much stuff they put into games like warcraft you would think they would put a little more into the game to help us out untill D3. Im sorry but i shake my head in disappointment :confused:

It didn't take that much time. If you read the news about the patch delays, they specifically said that their Legacy team that works on patches on the old games were moved from doing D2 patch to doing Warcraft 3 patch.
So only blizzard knows how long they actually used time for the D2 patch, because since june or something when they announced the major bug in Warcraft 3 they worked on that and it took a long time.
I always thought that Iron Maiden made the Chaos Sanctuary a unique place to be! Kind of gave you a sense of things to come (fighting Diablo, duh)! Little saddened by that!
Iron Maiden was a great thing, but blizzard fucked up it in 1.10, they made it reflect 10x more damage than before, which made it really stupid to do anything in there with a melee character.
pre 1.10 you could do whirlwinds in Chaos Sanctuary if you were a bit careful. You did die if you stupidly did long whirlwinds through huge crows of monsters and got iron maiden during it. After 1.10 you can almost die in 1 normal attack if you happen to party with pala for example

Here I am, one day after the patch lets out, anticipation burning, about to wet my pants...got the classic beta to pop up oooh yay!! Here goes nothing! Man this download is taking a while!! I wonder what cool stuff they added! Lets go check out the Test Realm forums...
What!?!?! a New Mystery??? Oh BOY! Ok cool, no more baal runs sweet. Um hmmm ah yes dupes got fixed, botting, hmm botting is that out idk man this mystery will be awesome. Hope it is a new area or mini boss or maybe a new SET!! *Checks back on the patch dl status* 53% omgomgomgomgomg
I look at the forums some more, and to my dismay..... I see "major dissapointment":confused: say what?? Cmon theres a MYSTERY!

Look, maybe we're jumping the gun on this and maybe there's more to be found within the patch after more than a few hours of gameplay. Maybe after initial beta the "mystery" is more and there are some tie-ins.... but from the looks of it this was a huge disappointment. I think expectations were high because people saw it as Blizzard "reawakening" D2 in anticipation of D3; and breathing new life into the series we haven't heard from in a decade. Atleast that's how I felt. Almost as if "Aww shit... something BIG is going down if they're releasing a new CONTENT patch!".
But that doesn't seem to be the case.

Not sure how many of u have downloaded the patch to check it out but i just did and i killed andy figuring she would give my something good (by the way this is on my single necro lvl 84) but she dropped this thing called twisted essense of suffering. Obviously new item and it is orange so im gonna try to get 3 of them and transmute them ill see what it does and post back.

Get them all from the Act bosses, transmute them, and you get a respec amulet.
I would have to say, I'm a bit disappointed too...I was honestly hoping for at least something new...like new items, some new quests or monsters or something. I will still play it though.
I'm no expert on game development, but would it make sense that they could add more stuff after (or even during) testing? I mean this isn't the final product, right? If this is all they've got for all that time (and hype) seems kind of a waste.....
What is wrong with increasing high rune drop rates? I find that to be awesome. I have played D2 for many many years but have never found more than 5 highrunes.
Oh wtf, I misread it... How the... What... eh? Fail?
I must be tired or something :confused:

Well people should think it like this:
How many game companies do even this much to their 10 year old games?
