Patch Changes -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Patch 1.10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mysterious World-event - Players of Hell difficulty Realm games are hereby warned that a new, challenging world-event has been added to Diablo II version 1.10. Players of Hardcore characters should be even more wary when encountering Superunique monsters during an active world event. Be prepared to execute a hasty Save and Exit, if your situation seems too dangerous. Fundamental architecture changes/improvements - The skill and monster systems are now completely data-driven. Skill balancing is simpler and quicker. Monster control/populating/creation is simpler. Although done for our needs, mod-makers should like these changes, too. A major result is that nearly any skill can be used by any character class. - A skill now may have synergy Bonuses (similar to masteries) applied by putting points into other skills. - The player stats and inventory system has been completely redone to run more efficiently, improving server performance and stability. - The collision detection system has been sped up significantly. Again, improving server performance. Specific changes/improvements - Increased difficulty for high-level players to reduce future exploitation of the game system. - Made monsters tougher - Beefed up monster difficulty in Act V, Nightmare, and Hell difficulties. This was accomplished by improving monster stats (hp, ac, etc.) and by boosting their AI/behavior in NM and Hell difficulties (that is, by making decisions more often and by simply moving faster). In Nightmare and Hell difficulties monster damages have generally been increased -- dramatically in some cases. - Reduced the effectiveness of Experience runs, power-leveling, and leeching. - Added randomized (especially ranged-attack) monsters to Nightmare and Hell Act V - e.g., Burning Dead, Imps, etc. - Increased the Experience attached to most Act V monsters in Normal, Nightmare, & Hell difficulties. - Reduced the HP of (Act V) Barbarian soldiers in Nightmare and Hell difficulties. - Increased the rate of occurrence of Unique monsters in Hell difficulty. - Reduced the party member Experience sharing to 0 beyond a maximum distance of about 2 screens from the monster death. This prevents low-level characters from joining a party and then staying completely out of harm's way while still getting Experience. - Increased the Experience penalty for Clvl 70+ as follows: Clvl 1 - 69: 100% Experience Clvl 70 - 99: 85% - 0.8% Experience (approximately exponential decaying) - Encouraged players to play in more of the Diablo II areas/locations/levels. - Reduced drops from the most-run SuperUnique monsters, ThreshSocket and Pindleskin. - Cut Experience and reduced drops in the Cow level. - Randomized the monster populations more thoroughly throughout Act V in Nightmare and Hell difficulties, including the addition of 'guest monsters' from other Acts. - Increased the number of Unique monsters in each area and difficulty. Improved various Items - Improved the attributes for newly-dropped Rare Armor, Helms, and most Weapons. - Added over 100 new Unique Items, of which 29 can be found only in Ladder games.

Closed some PvP loopholes/exploits - Terminated the casting of 'absentee' skills such as the Sorceress' Meteor, Firewall, Blaze, Hydra; the Assassin's Sentries; the Druid's Volcano; etc. when the player enters town.

New Battle.net features. Please see www.battle.net for more information. - Introduced a new Lobby.

To use this new feature, a player places a check in the Ladder box upon character creation -- in the same way that Expansion and Hardcore selection is done. Periodically, the Ladder may be reset, adding the old Ladder characters to the regular population -- who, of course, cannot play games with the new season's Ladder characters. Thus, every season each new Ladder character truly starts from scratch, as no 'twinking' is possible from older characters. - Once a player defeats Diablo, all Diablo II Battle.net accounts accessed from that computer may create Hardcore characters. Battle.net bugs - Prevented a crash when waiting in the Blizzard Tech Support channel on Battle.net. - Realm games created without a Password no longer allow players who specify a Password to join. - When a character dies during an 'Alt-F4' disconnection from B.net in Hardcore, the character icon now properly appears in both chat and the Character Selection Screen. - Corrected typos in the Options help. - Prevented players from changing their chat text color and indentation to masquerade as official Blizzard accounts. - Warcraft III players no longer appear as cloaked figures in Diablo II chat rooms. - Battle.net stability has been improved when a Diablo II character that had been designated as the operator of a private channel resigns. - Players may no longer immediately re-join a chat Channel from which they have been banned. - Barbarians dual-wielding with a Javelin now show the Javelin in battle.net chat, too. - Removed Age from the Player Profile. Major Bugs - Fixed the 'Druid Drop' bug related to equipping items which would cause players to be dropped from a game when activating Werewolf or Werebear skills above level 33. - Super Unique, Unique, and Champion monsters can no longer be created as nearly invincible, that is, with < 0 hit points. - Barbarians and Assassins who are dual-wielding potions are no longer prevented from entering a game. - A Zod Rune applied to an Ethereal item no longer reduces its durability to 0. - Characters with extremely fast attack speeds no longer erroneously miss their targets. - Summoned creatures (aka 'pets') now properly inherit the player's level to determine their monster level. - A summoned Grizzly now properly pursues and attacks its enemies more effectively. - Fury and Phoenix Strike can no longer target the casting player's hireling or pet. - Valkyries are no longer treated as monsters and erroneously assigned additional Life in Nightmare and Hell difficulties. - A Valkyrie affected by a party member's Oak Sage can no longer be killed with 1 hit. - Assassins and Barbarians with Mastery points no longer have excessive Critical Strikes applied to their melee attacks. - Oak Sage and Heart of Wolverine now function properly above skill level 20. - Poison Creeper now properly receives the PvP damage penalty. - Holy Freeze no longer slows the Lightning skill. - The curse Attract can no longer be overridden by any other curse. - Using Battle Command can no longer erroneously retain the skill bonus granted by an item after un-equipping the item. - Active level 18+ Thorns no longer makes the player character invulnerable to monster melee attacks. - Lightning and Chain Lightning are now properly affected by items with casting rate magic properties. - Using Enchant on ranged weapons now boosts the damage a variable amount. - Fireballs used against a Lightning Enchanted monster no longer make its Charged Bolts invisible. - The 3rd charge of the Assassin's Skill - Blades of Ice, now freezes the target. - Lower Resist now correctly updates the resistances displayed on the target's character screen. - Crushing Blow now works at the percentage chance stated. - Items can no longer be created with level requirements higher than 99. - A throwing item with the magic property Replenishes Quantity now replenishes if depleted to 0 quantity. - Newly-discovered Ethereal items with the magic property Increased Maximum Durability now may have the maximum durability. - The Rune Word \"Melody\" now works properly for bows. - Leaving the vicinity of a Super unique monster and returning after 20 seconds, now properly respawns the Super unique for treasure drops. - The erroneous action of the Reduce AC modifier. which had shown in the item pop-up as x% Target AC has been corrected. It now no longer sets the target's AC equal to the percentage, but properly reduces the target's AC by the percentage. The display has been corrected to say \"-x% Target AC.\" The modifier's eff
