You asses don't understand because you are not Diablo players. I have logged over 200 hours at least.

People wanted this patch because there are hacked items and cheaters all over Battle.net. The new crap is trivial; all we want is a clean, fair playing environment and they failed horribly to deliver that to us.

And anybody that has been following this 1.10 patch since it's birth would have taken note at the MANY times Blizzard themselves said the patch was nearing completion and would be out any day. Hey guess what, it still isn't here.

Finally in discusion of the patch itself.
There are no new monsters, there are no new skills, and there are no new areas (assuming you dont count the *gasp* mythical world event thing). All that have been changed are skill power, monster power, monster location, monster skills, and some new items and runewords (which boils down to just editing a few words and numbers; big freakin whoop, WHAT an accomplishment). Supposedly drops have been increased. In a bad move MF was removed for bosses (items that boosted your chance to find good items no longer work on act bosses and certain mini bosses like Pindleskin).

So in conclusion what this all boils down to is deceit on the part of Blizzard North. Before this game was finished they said new items and monsters and runewords would be added to the game seemlessly. They proclaimed a five man team would constantly watch for cheaters on the realms. And most of all, they promised a HACK FREE ENVIRONMENT ON THE REALMS.

1.10? I'm not waiting any more. Blizzard, screw you.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

It's whose highest priorty?

It's one thing to stop supporting a game nobody plays, but when a fanbase as huge as Diablo II's gets ignored for all that time that's just poor work from the dev.

As Captain Hazle "Hank" Murphy would say... HOLY CRAP!

I am so gettin this right now and preparing myself for endless nights of mouse-hurling anger and burning eyes and repeated use of the quickload key.

Well maybe they should have just called it a FPS/MMORPG then... that would attract scores of uber geeks who play only EQ and CS.

Jeff Green is crapping his pants!

Anyways, the only thing that kept Battlecry II from the mainstream is the age old fact that graphics sell games. Other than that these two puppies were the best strategy games created and a third game has a very well deserved spot ready and waiting on my hard drive.

If it is a RTSS it will have seemless shifts from both perspectives, so I would not go anywhere near that title for this game. But don't get me wrong, I am not saying this is a bad thing, because I've been following this title for a long long time (That's right; you didn't ACCEPT me for the beta...) and eagerly anticipate purchasing it... at least when reviews come out. I don't agree a single bit with a company trying to claim it has created a new genre... that is for the gamers to decide.

By the way Battlezone was arguably the best game I've ever played for fun factor and utter uniqueness.

I don't know if I want to work on maps with nine billion polygons in them...

-_-

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

The only thing this is exclusive to is bit torrent, fileplanet losers.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

Maybe thats why it was so freakin huge.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

kickass!!!111

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

sounds like diablo 3d

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

Dude they ain't gonna get a lot of feedback if it doesn't even load the map you dickheads.

And hey guess what, Interstate also just came out and GASP, it has MUSIC AND A BACKGROUND MOVIE!

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

This mod lacks any polish whatsoever... it doesn't even have music or a background movie.

That, and it crashes while loading the map.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

no i mean the GAMEPLAY... like how the physics handle, how good fighting is, etc.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

Ran quite well on my GF4 at 1024 with everything but AA on... AA murdered it.

I dunno... sure it looks good, but it didn't show too much actual gameplay there. And as was already stated the ships look too alien...

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

wtf? Did you just say "crappier than IWD"?

What kind of stupid moron are you, IWD was excellent... Very good combat fest with enough of a story to hold it together. IWD2 is a masterpiece to me, also.

Man, you are an ASS to be reckoned with in stupidity.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

Who listens to gamespot reviews anyways? That's almost as bad as listening to IGN reviews.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

I too am victim to the companion bug.

**TIP TO ANYBODY WITH THIS GAME**
If you have companions, DO NOT go into the dungeon from the thieves guild in the sewers.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

affect is the verb use, effect is the noun, therefore the steering issue affected multiplayer games.

“The closer you get to being a pro, the closer you can get to the client. The knife, for example, is the last thing you learn. Ok?"

why is it 292 megs?
