- Fixed a bug that causes certain Barbarians to crash other players' Diablo II client
- Fixed a bug that allows a character to stack the auras from Dream and Dragon dozens of times.
- Fixed a bug that allows neutral and partied players to PK you by quickly warping to town and clicking hostile.
OH wait those last 3 ESSENTIAL fucking MAJOR BUGS AREN'T EVEN MENTIONED?
What were all the delays about then? Skill rebalancing in basic table files in the patch_d2.mpq file that any simple modder can do in 1 hour. Great.

what do you mean if that's all, what other company other than MMO's are still patching a game they made almost 10 years ago? Blizzard has no obligation to keep patching, but they do it anyways. |

Pretty weak patch imo, all that bullshit about how they were requesting players' most wanted feature, and the rampant bugs, exploits, and botting going on.
It's nice that they still give this game attention, but they should be, it's still one of the most popular games given its age.
But if they aren't even going to patch important things, or even anything major that they were fanfaring all this time, then I'd rather they didn't waste time doing useless shit.
But seriously, all this ridiculous delay and time just for this weak list? Something is fishy here. Unless they only have 1 guy working on it, and only once a week, for only 5 minutes that day. Then it makes sense.

Bump !
So, I accidentally found my old Diablo 2 disks and it has the serial on it, so I went and registered an account on battle.net, and then downloaded the client (lol) and installed it.
But there is no resolution changing option ! Do I need tthe fucking expansion to set it to 800x600 ?! Godamn shit !
It looks like bullshit (I'm at v1.12)

Thats why blizzard is such a successful company. Look at that game. Almost 10 years old and they are still working on it. Not just fixing bugs, but fixing balance issues as well.
Sure, they also sold their soul when they joined the MMO industry with WOW, but I will still buy every one of their games, even if that means eternal damnation.
If just other companies would also support their games like this.
