Diablo 2: LOD patch 1.10 released today!
Well who knew it?!? They finally released the damn patch. It's been in the works for what seems like forever. The folks at Blizzard must have sacraficed a whole flock of lambs and sold their souls to Diablo himself.There's just too much new to post it here so you can read up on the complete info here: http://www.blizzard.com/support/?id=mdt0763p.
They haven't released a stand alone copy of the patch yet. Right now the only way to get it is to download it inside the game. After it's installed it's a crapshoot getting logged into battle.net. Everyone is getting Realm Down messages.
Like I said there's just too much new to talk about however the one thing I will discuss is the new anti-cheat system they've been working on.
quote:
Implemented a new system to detect and delete 'duped', 'hacked' and other erroneous items from the inventories of Realm Characters as they are loaded.
So far it seems to be hit or miss with this new system. Lots of hacked and bugged items have been deleted but there are reports of legit items dissappearing too. However no one is sure how many of these claims are real or just upset people. Some bugged items still exist so it's not fullproof. Plus all the duped items are still here. Although I read someplace they haven't turned on the duped item deletion yet.
They better turn it on soon if they can. Otherwise I'm going to laugh at all the people that sold off their stuff thinking it was going to disappear!
Now stop reading this and go play people!
