    posted a message on More Hopes Dashed, 1.13 Delay Going Strong
    Quote from "Zhar" »
    Well I'd hope so, this long in the making I'm expecting more than just balancing.

    Anywho, I'd expect that Blizz is really working towards retooling most of the game, just remember how radical the changes were in 1.11 (synergies).


    1.10 was were they introduced synergies not 1.11. All that did was give us ubers, crap runewords and random bug fixes.

    That's why you have a merc with some open wounds. Prevents them from regenerating.


    Its a hell of a lot easier just getting a wep with prevent monster heal... Like the unique ogre ax which i cant remember what its called.

    Well its called bonehew and u can get the damage up to 6k if u do it right.

    On the subject of the auras i think that it is gonna make some difficulties if the monk is the only one that can give party buffs (minus the barb) But i think that if the witches doctors summons function well enough like the necro's summons then a summon build could be a tank. Wizard... well even D2 it didnt give any bonus auras yet they were the second most popular class because they were able to deal out great damage and rush through things quickly. Most likely the wizard in d3 will be able to do the same thing and dish out good damage but i cant remember if they can teleport or not someone can say somethin bout that.

    I'm not trying to hate but this really isn't news (or new information). It just seems like there is such a lull in anything really newsworthy that forum history, bad blood between ownership and historical interviews from someone who is not currently involved in Diablo development have become frontpage news.

    Again, I'm not saying this isn't an interesting read but does it really merit being frontpage material?


    Hey i thought it was interesting enough. it may not be d3 but it is d2... thats good enough for me

    Basically D2 got a lot of the basics down that is now in every single MMO or RPG. But they only got the basics they didn't find tune it.

    And yeah some problems with D2 at least I think.

    -Everyone has the same build now days
    -Everyone wants the same gear
    -All magic, rares, and most sets or crap
    -REPETITIVENESS who the hell wants to do 100k baal runs just to get to 99.
    -In my opinion runewords pretty much ruined the game since thats almost all that gets duped now days.

    I will probably buy Sc2, cheat my way through the campaign, then play around with the editor for a few years :P


    LOL same here i usually cheat 1 time through the campaign on any rts then go back and actually beat it without cheats.

    I didn't know that they were added later.


    Yeah runewords are not even available in D2 classic probably y its so much harder. And with LOD blizz released patch 1.09 and the runewords and added more with 1.10 and 1.11... although 1.11 runewords suck.

    But on the subject of cheating. Players8 is on battle.net closed technically even though you just don't see it. Cause when 1 person enters the game u know "Diablos minions grow stronger or something like that" thats just basically players2 going into effect. In my opinion using it on single is not cheating. For me i CANT play with out it in effect its harder without it then with really cause by the time i hit baal im already lvl 40 after doing all the quests. Nopickup is just something to help the player and as u said emilemil it has to be something that alters gameplay significantly and goes to the players advantage.


    While Hero editor is cheating cheating can be fun for you. Doesn't mean that the other person likes it. Since its only available on single and open bnet and the ppl who play on their anyway are almost always cheating i don't see the big point of worrying about it since you probably have never even played on open (i know i haven't).

    Duping, Maphacking, Botting. You can all do that on bnet (cept maphacking i think cause i friend of mine recently got banned not sure if it was just the program he was using). Duping is what really screws u over. Since the entire economy basicaly depends on duped runes (and still does to my knowlege but its been half a year since i played on ladder). Botting is annoying and thats about it. If your gettin good xp from fast baal runs thanks to a botter don't complain just get the xp and laugh if you hear that hes been banned.

    I define cheating as anything that is changing the gameplay from whatever is default, which is the case.



    Does that include mods like median xl which change the entire game basically. And just somethin bout duping i've accidently duped a perfect nagel while me and my friend i shit myself when it happened.

    Playing solo is so insanely boring in D2 that I never cared to even try single player :P


    May not be as fun but it sure is a lot harder not being in a party. Most of the time when i do ladder i play by myself anyway till i hit baal.

    Yeah u can do the ubers just not the d clone. I've gotten the keys before but just trying to kill the lessers guys (duriel,izzy,lilith) was a pain.

    There is one easy way to fix that btw. When doing a quest like the reward Anya gives you, or Hellforge, do them in a seperate game.

    Create a new SP game so everything you've done so far is saved and all you have to do is talk to Anya or go to the hellforge and smash the stone.

    Go do the quests, if the reward is shit (which is almost allways the cause - I've probably once goten a usable item from Anya) do a backup of your characterfile (d2s) before saving and exiting game. Just rewrite the file over the newly saved so it resets to the old one, and you get another chance of geting a good reward.

    Some might consider this an exploit and cheating. It is an exploit, yes, however it is just considering all the trouble one has to go through in hell only to get a reward equivalent of a Countess drop in normal.

    And this works for everything, crafting in the cube, imbuing uncommon white items, questrewards and so on. Gives you unlimited chances to get 'that' item.


    I've heard of backing up your file and doing that but im to lazy to ever try it (technically i've done that but i had to make a backup and full restore my comp damn viruses)
