"We're in the process of working on Diablo II
content patch 1.13, and we want to try to include the Diablo community's most important changes in our production schedule. To achieve this we're asking for your input on what you'd like to see in this patch. However, we're making it a bit stricter than a full-blown wish list.
If you were to get an advance look at the patch notes for Diablo II 1.13, what is the one patch note you would want to see?
Our goal is to get an overall sense of the single most important request from every member of the community. We want as many posts as we can get for the largest cross section, so if you have friends who used to play Diablo II or just don't frequent the forums as much as you do, let them know this is here so we can get their '#1 patch note' too.
Please be mindful that we're not going to be able to make every change mentioned, but hopefully with your feedback we can prioritize and do our best to cover as much as possible.

I don't think so. Blizzard knew perfectly well what they did when they announced Diablo 3, and they know perfectly well what they do now as well. I just think this is their way of preparing the playerbase (read: the world) for the new Diablo.
No, this is not wow....
Actually, WoW does not have repeatable quests with random boss mobs (as far as I know). And the item rewards for soloable quests in WoW are almost exclusively crappy, and not random, which is surprisingly unexciting.
What he's suggesting was done in Mythos at one point, and I liked it there.
It would be nice, as a result, to see the neglected dead end dungeons get a few new bosses who are worth killing.
The top 3 that I've seen, and I liked...
1. Being able to Respec. This one is undoubtedly my favorite, hopes it would trickle to single player.
2. Shared Stashes between account.
3. Bigger Stash.
[Edit] Sorry did not see the main thread, my apologies... Don't wish to clutter.
Think i'm gonna have to dust of the cd and log on to my d2 account again...... btw whens this patch come out?
i could be considered long time retired.. it's been about 2 years since i played daily for more than 3 months
but i've been back every 4-6 months and i play until i can't take the cheats anymore.. and can't bare to log in.
when your every goal in playing is diminished by other people's ability to achieve the same things with much less effort due to cheats it just drains the fun out of playing.
yes i can play (1-3 months) for the sheer fun of playing but then long term goals emerge and those are the ones that exist on such a unfair playing field.
not to mention that you feel like something that is so dear to you.. in my case it's my favorite game.. is so corrupted that it's just painful to witness.
so whatever.. i would never NEVER have stopped playing d2 if they kept on top of the cheats and hacks.
and it might even be hard to drag me away from d2 to play d3 if they fixed those problems now.
i've played on and off for 9 years (6 of those being obessively on) ..when you say you've "done it all" i'm sure you haven't. there's always new things to try and new goals to pursue.. even if it's just with a new ladder or new people
also maybe where you play cheating is low, but i'd venture to guess it's just because of a low amount of people playing total. if you don't think new content won't lure all those cheaters back to play (even for a short time) you're kidding yourself.
just with 1.12 with No new content and just the ladder reset i saw about 3/4 of the people i knew from earlier seasons return.
(btw if you're curious to see what a cheater infested community looks like despite a low population, play a day of public games on hardcore uswest)
but anyway everyone's entitled to their opinion and i'm sure you've had your say in that thread as i've had mine. so it's up to them on how they weigh them
edit: also if you consider the impact of this d2 patch in regard to d3..
with so many macros and cheating programs for d2, wow (any popular online games) ..along with g15 keyboards etc.. it seems almost impossible for anyone to make a level playing field anymore.
however, i think a level playing field is critical for d3 and they should start the attempt with a level playing field on d2.
2. Kill the adbots
3. Rust Storm!
4. Fix overpowered builds
5. Synergize ALL skills in each tree
Thus, there would be no such thing as godly ^^
omg this would be my DREAM.
WTF??? That is insane. If they did that, I would most definently try to achieve a high score.
I wonder if 1.13 is coming with another ladder reset...? They did do a few patches without resets. Then again, it'll be a year come spring since the last one. Maybe they're going to try to get back to the "reset-per-year" idea.
The one big thing i would like to see is another challenge like chaos trist that cant be beat by one person, and i actually have an idea for that. Ok so there can be 8 characters in 1 game. What you should do is take all 7 character classes and put them in a challenge with uber diablo that way so it is 8 on 8. Now each character class has the best items that that character class needs ie: enigma, hoz, shako. I would like to see a summon necro in the challenge, a hammerdin (duh), Ice sorc, trap sin (do i need to specify), barb with battle orders and ww, druid... hurricane i guess and a light javson. Now this next thing might fix a few things. My idea is that each character is wearing the best armor they can get. Now when u kill that said character they will drop one item that they are wearing. Example: the pally will be wearing an enigma and the drop rate for that will be low probably. Now what i think u should do with enigma is take it out of the game so u cant make just so that it drops here. Another thing (sorry this is a lot but i was thinking last night on what i wanted lol) the standard of heroes and some other item (i was thinking maybe an organ for each charater or somthing) gets transmuted into the horadric cube and up pops a portal for this place. For uber diablo... not sure what he would drop maybe a charm even better than the hellfire torch.
Just some side things i would also like to see.
New Uniques/Runewords/ GOOD set items.
sharded stash
fix bugs/hackers/spam bots/and bots
Well thats about it. I would really appreciate it if ppl would say whether they liked my idea... or not.
Thanks a bunch blizzard for making a game that is addicting almost 10 years after its realese and still coming out for patches of it
