We’re in the process of working on Diablo II content patch 1.13, and we want to try to include the Diablo community’s most important changes in our production schedule. To achieve this we’re asking for your input on what you’d like to see in this patch. However, we’re making it a bit stricter than a full-blown wish list.
If you were to get an advance look at the patch notes for Diablo II 1.13, what is the one patch note you would want to see?
Our goal is to get an overall sense of the single most important request from every member of the community. We want as many posts as we can get for the largest cross section, so if you have friends who used to play Diablo II or just don’t frequent the forums as much as you do, let them know this is here so we can get their “#1 patch note” too.
Please be mindful that we’re not going to be able to make every change mentioned, but hopefully with your feedback we can prioritize and do our best to cover as much as possible.
Feel free to click that link and respond, since Blizzard is obviously looking to do a lot of fan requests with this patch. Patch 1.12 and 1.11 were basically bug fixes / minor additions, with patch 1.10 being the last major change to D2.
1.10 was responsible for adding in new rune words that allowed every character in the game to use the Sorceress skill Teleport, and the Barbarian skill Battle Orders. While this did take away some of the uniqueness of those two classes, overall it fixed many issues with the game by allowing the 5 other classes to actually compete, specifically the casters due to Teleport being such an integral skill.
I can't wait to see what patch 1.13 brings to the game, it sounds like they are planning on making it a fairly big deal, perhaps a last hurrah before Diablo 3 comes out? Hell yeah, I'm excited!
