 |
|
Diablo 1.13 Beta realm test is on
Read below to use it.
http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=21730644778&sid=3000
| Quote: | “We traveled for an eternity...” - Marius
Travel no longer my friends - the Diablo II 1.13 Public Test Realm is LIVE!
Q: How do I begin testing on the PTR?
A: When you start Diablo II change your Battle.net gateway to “ClassicBeta”. When you log in the 1.13 patch will be applied to your game and you can begin testing the changes made in the patch. Since it's a new realm you'll need to create a new account.
Q: I don't see the ClassicBeta realm in my gateway list!
A: Log into one of the other gateways first, then back out and the classicbeta realm will appear.
Q: What if I want to play the normal game again?
A: Simply choose any of the other (non-PTR) gateways. Your game will be reverted to version 1.12 and you’ll be able to play on the live realms as normal.
Q: Where are my characters?
A: The PTR realm is separate from the live realms so your current characters aren’t carried over. You’ll need to create a new character to begin testing. But, cheats are enabled and you may use the following cheats by typing them into chat while in a game:
Gold # - Will provide the amount of gold specified
Level # - Will increase your level to the number specified
Waypoints 1 - Will activate all waypoints. You must still reach an act before that act’s waypoints will be unlocked with this cheat.
Q: What happens to my characters once the PTR testing period ends?
A: They remain on the PTR realm to be removed once the test ends. Characters on the PTR realm won’t transfer to the normal realms.
Q: How long with the PTR run for?
A: As long as we deem necessary to ensure the patch and changes are solid.
Q: Where can I give feedback and what kind of feedback do you want?
A: All 1.13 PTR feedback and bug reports should ONLY be posted in the Diablo II Test Realm Forum here: http://forums.battle.net/board.html?forumId=20601702&sid=3000
• All post should have a subject line that clearly describes the bug or feedback being given
• Use the search feature to ensure a thread doesn’t already exist before posting
• When reporting a bug include as much information as you can, including steps to reproduce it if possible
• Any non-constructive posts may be deleted and the poster’s privilege to post revoked
• This is a chance for you to ensure the 1.13 patch includes changes and balance tweaks that you think would lead to a better overall experience. Getting the information to us in a clear and logical way helps us understand your view and makes it easier for us to collect feedback for any potential updates to the 1.13 patch before release.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Patch 1.13
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new Mystery has been revealed!
- Players of Hell Difficulty Realm games are hereby warned once again,
that a series of new and challenging tests await you! The answer lies
within Diablo's Bosses, which span across the world from the Den of Evil
to the Throne of Destruction...
Major Bugs
- Fixed an item dupe bug.
- Video improvements for Intel Mac machines with OS 10.5 or greater.
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.
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.
- Nightmare/Hell WilloWisps champions/uniques have had their damage greatly reduced.
- 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.
- Updated two Act 5 mercenary names to Klar and Tryneus.
- When creating a single player game, pressing the 'Enter' key now automatically creates a Hell difficulty game if possible.
- When creating a 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 windowed mode. This lets the game 'stretch' to fill your monitor.
- Added support for '-sndbkg' command line switch. This enables sound in background.
- Added support for '-nosound', '-window', and '-windowed' command line options.

I tried it, and didn't have fun as usual.
I think I'm done after this ladder, I might start playing Aion I'm not sure yet.

Eh, test realms always blow.
Wait until the patch actually comes out.
By the way, I love that they took pallys down a little bit.
I fucking hate Paladins.

when u say take pallys down. u just mean hammers right??? i don't understand about the
No longer ignores resistances of undead and demons.
does that mean there are monster or w/e that are gonna be immune or have resist to the hammers? how we gonna do quick rushing then? i used to rush with my orb sorc but she kinda sucks. i would have to see about getting back on my old acct lvl 88 sorc. i built her right except she has no items.

that really sucks. i just learned how to do skills like a year ago, stats like 6 months ago. and finally built a gg hdin about 2 or 3 months ago. and now they are going to rid of it. ofc they have to. i am not allowed to keep up with anyone else.
d2jsp was made back in like 02 or 03 and i didn't find out about it till march 09.
i just found this site about maybe a week before i joined and i didn't fill out a line when i first found the site. and then i was busy.
watch they are going to make a new char for diablo 2 lod. and then everyone will know how to make gmaster. god master.
lol, just got a reminder on my celly. my depoist for my old apartment has to be in the mail today and if its not i am taking my old complex to court. they forged my signture. if i have to take them to court and i win ill don8 to forum here.

Raising others to Paladin's level would have ruined the difficulty of the game.
In my opinion, pallys need to be shut down completely.
30k Defense with Max Block without putting at stats in dex, is pretty stupid.
Just sayin'.

True, pally's did need to get that nerf.
But oh well, d2 isn't going to get any better IMO. It's like what 11 years old now? More even.. |

I meant any instead of at.
But, I think you got that. 
And it could still get a lot better, they just need to work on it instead of worrying about WoW.
