Please note that he also said explicitly that it is not a guarantee! Don't get your hopes too high yet, folks!It's coming along. We're still in the process of refining and testing the changes going into the patch. Work is progressing, we haven't stopped working on it or anything like that.
As far as information of what's being changed in the patch, almost anything we're working on now could be removed. Testing could deem any change unworkable and we'd have to remove it. By releasing any information on possible changes we'd be raising expectations that the change is guaranteed to make it in, no matter how many disclaimers we place on it. That said, one change we're planning is to increase the stash size to 12x10. As I said it is in no way a guaranteed change. Any number of reasons could mean it will not make it into the final patch. But enjoy the breadcrumb maybe?
Thoughts? Comments? I'd love more inventory space, personally. Cuts down on mules
(On a side note, I think it would be a good gesture for everyone to add some rep to sssupply for finding this tidbit first!)
Anyway, I really can't wait for this patch, I hope it's big. =] I hope that they just do this one update, and reset ladder. Then after the first few people reach a high level, new patch that renders most modern classes useless. =] That would be funny to see all the no-life's precious work lost. =]
I have to agree here. Sure blizz takes the time to get things right but they should also have, over the many years, gained experience to know how long things take. By not announcing what is in the patch we don't know if they are horrifically off estimate because they last minute added tons of stuff or because they are just slow and/or lazy. I'm thinking it's the latter.
I hope we all agree that a content patch on a 10 year old game is amazing but if this is indicative of d3 dev time then we are all in for a painfully long wait - even considering it's "farther along than you think"
I'll wait until the patch is released to judge if I owe blizz an apology or a whole lot of qq. The sad thing is that no matter how much blizz jerks us around we all still buy and play to no end d3. Why? Because you simply cannot get the blizz experience anywhere else.
yeah blizzard, come on already jebbus....
i can never get over myself... sorry... cant beat this... gamma11 > east
Sheesh they're taking their time
Blizzard really suck with setting a time. Their 'its done when its done' policy means they shouldn't even bother
I bet he regrets saying 'late april' now
As the final update for Diablo 2 (99% likely), I sure hope this hits the spot - Balancing wise
They said it could be released by late april in mid april. Gone from a 3 week estimate to probably 10 weeks.
If there's no chance in hell (excuse the pun) that it will come out in late april, why say it?
i just want all the skills to be useful and immunities removed so any added onto that is pure awesomeness x3
