Well, that combined with the fact that Bashiok said work would focus on 1.13 after the 1.24b WCIII patch and then completely neglects saying that they were not working on it anymore to work on a website redesign is what irked me. They did the same thing twice.
What!!?!? A website redesign? When was it done? I didn't notice anything. That's just plain cheap .... makes me think of 4 years old starting a drawing but skips to something else because they found a shiny new penny :D. Awww blizz, the kindergarden of pc gaming :cool:.
We've waited damn near a decade for Diablo III (and the wait is worth it, I might add), so one would think we can handle a few more weeks for the next DII:LoD patch.
change that to a few more months and you'll have a release date

Working with adobe and/or java is like pushing a paper clip against a building and expecting it to move...
At this point it seems like 1.13 is a bullshit excuse of a patch that's being throw together by a few Blizzard interns or something. Seriously? If you aren't gonna make a real patch, stop pretending like you're still fully supporting the game. They aren't supporting it anymore, they're just maintaining it. I feel like they spout this crap just to keep people around longer. It's pathetic. If they keep this up, D3 might be the last Blizzard game I bother actually purchasing.
I'm not saying they aren't doing a good job developing their new games or even that they're ignoring the community, they've been doing great on those fronts, but they've also been making these false implications on the pretense that they're actually working hard on the title when they're really just trying to keep more players around until their new games are out. That's just not a smart move on any game developer's part. *cough* L4D *cough*
Wow, no increased resolution and no end game content = who gives a shit. Seriously what the hell was the point of saying this is a major patch for the game when all it sounds like they're doing is a few tiny tweaks.
They can take this patch and shove it up their ass. No way in hell this will be worth the wait and no way in hell will it doing anything to bring new life into the game. What a waste of time.
I think it was the case of "they bit off more than they could chew".
Some of the designers had great ideas to refresh an old game that just ended up either costing too much or giving them an impossible workload. That just didn't pass with the decision makers, no surprise there.
Spice D2 up, then send the workforce on D3. No need to waste that much time and money on a game that will ultimately become obsolete with the release of it's sequel. No matter how great it once was. There comes a time when we have to let go.

people should just stop checking everyday because its a waste. no bigger res and no new content, and the only thing good about it (increased stash size) apparently is the thing that's holding it back. awesome.
Well, I never would have used the higher resolution, anyway. I wouldn't want my character to be 2x2 px I was kind of hoping for more story content, though. Sigh...
This new patch doesn't seem at all exciting to me anymore. I was really hoping we'd get some new story/quest content that would help get me pumped up for Diablo 3 but I guess this isn't the case. A bigger stash does nothing for me. My interest has waned for now unless Blizzard has some kind of surprise up their sleeves. This whole process has been such a mess too what with all the delays.
Let them pleaaaase do something about the resolutions.. its been 10 years now, we don't have 15 inch screens anymore! The picture on my current 21 inch wide-view screen is stretched and pixel heaven
Its already confirmed that we won't have any new resolutions.
Well, pretty much confirmed anyway. See the topic in the D2 forum here. Sorry.
Hopefully theres some reworking of the skill or stat system... not just a bigger stash
That would be shit
Indeed the skill ans stat system in place now needs serious work, a LOT more then the stash or any other feature in the game

I wonder if they're still doing respeccing. I don't think I've seen anything about that lately.
Id say thats in there with a lot of certainty considering its easy to implement and doesnt impact the game in any real negative ways(at least i cant think of anything)
Having a billion extra characters not being played to store a bunch of stuff on multiple accounts was probably more of a pressing issue for them than the game, really. I think that's really why they wanted to do the stash. Not as much of a buttload of characters to store junk on and not actually play.
change that to a few more months and you'll have a release date
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7

If only either of those games were anything close to D3
