Diablo 2 Patch 1.13c
Reply
Posted 2010-04-12, 10:34 PM
Apparently this came out a few weeks ago. I hadn't heard a thing.

Patch Notes said:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Patch 1.13c
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new Mystery has been revealed!

* Adventurers of Sanctuary are hereby warned once again, that a new challenge awaits you. Within Diablo's Bosses, spanning across the world from the ancient Monastery Catacombs to the Throne of Destruction, is where you'll find what you seek...

Major Bugs

* Fixed an item dupe bug.
* Video improvements for Intel Mac machines with OS 10.5 or greater.
* Fixed an issue where some players could kill other players while in town ("TPPK").
* Fixed an issue where some players could disconnect other players when they had too many active states.
* Fixed two issues where players could stack auras in an unintended way.

Minor Bugs

* Uber Mephisto now checks for both Uber Baal and Uber Diablo to be killed before spawning summoned minions (Before he would only check for Uber Baal).
* The game will no longer stop and then restart the game music after the window loses and then regains focus.
* Fixed an issue where the game window would minimize when running in windowed mode when it lost focus.
* Fixed an issue where the game window wouldn't center properly when it was created.
* Fangskin should now properly drop loot in Hell difficulty.
* Fixed an issue where auras were not re-applied to your mercenary after it was resurrected.
* Fixed an issue where if you had two items which provided auras to a mercenary and you unequipped one, the aura from the remaining item never became active.
* Fixed an issue where the Paladin class runeword 'Principle' wasn't having all of its stats applied properly.
* Fixed an issue where the Paladin's Charge ability would become locked out if Holy Shield faded while charging.
* Fixed an issue where the Barbarian's Leap ability could become locked out if they were hit when they started to leap.

Specific changes/improvements

* Respecialization is now possible! Completing the 'Den of Evil' quest will now additionally reward 1 free respec which can be saved. Players who have already completed this quest should receive 1 free respec in Hell difficulty.
* Increased the drop rate of high runes.
* Support for blit scaling in windowed mode. The game can now be maximized to the largest 4:3 resolution supported (hooray widescreen users).
* Some rare drop items now have an orange color. i.e. Runes and items required for Uber Tristam.
* Modified the gold bank limit to be a flat cap not bound by level.
* Removed the requirements to create a hardcore character.
* Greatly reduced the explosion damage dealt by Fire Enchanted monsters.
* Uber Mephisto and Uber Baal's summoned minions no longer give experience.
* Removed Oblivion Knight's Iron Maiden curse.
* Hellfire Torch Firestorm proc rate has been reduced to 5%.
* Users can now toggle the display of text over the Health and Mana globes by clicking on the bottom area of each orb.
* When creating a single player game, each difficulty button is now bound to a unique key: Normal 'R', Nightmare 'N', and Hell 'H'.
* The 'Enter Chat' Button in the battle.net waiting room is now bound to the 'Enter' key.
* Added the windows system buttons to the game window (MIN, MAX, CLOSE).
* Added new command line parameter '-nofixaspect' which allows users to not fix the aspect ratio to 4:3 when maximizing in windowed mode. This lets the game 'stretch' to fill your monitor.
* Added support for '-sndbkg' command line switch. This enables sound in background.
* Added the following aliases for pre-existing command line options, '-nosound', '-window', and '-windowed'.

So basically, there's a new item which is created when four other new items are transmuted in the cube. These four items drop from the act bosses in hell difficulty. Andariel and duriel drop the same one, and the other three each come from the three brothers. These have approximately 1/10 chance to drop (it's actually like 1/11 or 1/13 or something but whatever). As far as I know, the individual items do nothing, but when they're transmuted together they create an item that allows you to reset your skill points as if you hadn't ever spent any. In addition to this method of resetting skills, you can also reset your skills once for every time you do the Den of Evil quest (once per difficulty) by talking to Akara after-the-fact.

Oh, and there was a ladder reset.

It's about time! People have been wanting them to do this for so long and years and years and years have gone by and now they finally do it! Good to hear Blizzard.. even if they make it in the form of a bunched together item-drop combination.

Unfortunately, they didn't deliver on the shared-stash that they said would be in this patch. There are a lot of fundamental things they should add/change, really, that on the surface don't seem like they would be that hard to implement. I mean, they claim they have a whole team working on Diablo stuff, even Diablo 2, however the amount of changes in this patch for the amount of time since the last patch is pretty lame. Oh well, though, hopefully it's because they're working on Diablo 3.

My thoughts exactly. I'm sure Diablo 3 will have everything that's always been wanted to help sell and keep the game relevant and fresh. This is just to keep Diablo 2 players that are still active in the game somewhat happy.

What exactly is this?

Essentially, make it where you don't have to mule items between characters on the same account. There would be a shared stash for your account. They also said they would increase the stash size.
