Main article:. Players of 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 monsters during an active world event.

Changed the text color for Blizzard Representatives in Diablo II chat. 1.11 • Patch 1.11b • Patch 1.12 • Patch 1.13c • Patch 1.13d. Diablo Wiki is a.

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 ) 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, and difficulties. This was accomplished by improving monster stats (hp, ac, etc.) and by boosting their AI/behavior in Nightmare 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., etc. Increased the Experience attached to most Act V monsters in Normal, Nightmare, and 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 Character level 70+ as follows: Character level 1 - 69: 100% Experience Character level 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 monsters, and. Cut Experience and reduced drops in the. Randomized the monster populations more thoroughly throughout in Nightmare and Hell difficulties, including the addition of 'guest monsters' from other Acts. Increased the number of in each area and difficulty.

Diablo III

The highest 19 Rune upgrades are usable only by Ladder characters. 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.

This prevents declaring Hostility and doing immediate damage to the unsuspecting. Prevented 3rd-party hacks from treating background objects as a. Enforced a 10-second delay between declaring Hostility and using a Waypoint or to leave town. Ears and other items dropped on the ground by players (even in town) are deleted more frequently, and even when on the same screen as players., and items persist longer. The attribute 'Hit Slows Target' has been limited to no more than 50% slowing when used in PvP. Fixed the bug that prevented a hostile player from targeting a equipped with a 2-handed sword.

Throwing an no longer crashes an opponent. New Battle.net features. Introduced a new Lobby. Players now start in the lobby where they may decide to enter battle.net chat as before or to simply create/join a game without entering chat. Added the ability to recover a forgotten/stolen account password via email registration.

Added a new command '/mail accountname' which sends a message directly to the account's registered email address. An 'expiration date' is now shown with Realm Characters on the selection screen. Introduced a new Ladder System for those who prefer to play free from any characters who may have participated in past item duping or hacking. To use this new feature, a player places a check in the Ladder box upon character creation - in the same way that Expansion and 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, all 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 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 or skills above level 33., and monsters can no longer be created as nearly invincible, that is, with.

This patch went live on June 17th, 2008. Known Bugs. Bug: When the user tries to connect to with its Diablo 2 installation, the error message 'CDkey Error: CD-Key Intended For Another Product' is prompted and connection with Battle Net is lost. Cause: User has overwritten some of the MPQs in the Diablo 2 directory instead of copying only the missing MPQs from the Diablo 2 CD.

Diablo 2 1.12 Full Patch

Solution: Uninstalling and installing Diablo 2 again and copying only the MPQs from the CD that are not present in the Diablo 2 directory. Patch Notes 1.12 -Patch 1.12 - Downloadable Installer Support - If all required Diablo 2 '.MPQ' files are installed on the hard drive, the game will no longer require the CD to play. For users that originally performed a 'Full Installation' and wish to run without the CD, all '.MPQ' files should be copied from the Diablo 2 CDs to the Diablo 2 directory. Most users will only need to copy D2Music.mpq from the Diablo 2 Play CD and/or D2xMusic.mpq from the Lord of Destruction CD. Mac users will need to copy these music files and rename them to 'Diablo II Music' and 'Diablo II Expansion Music' respectively. Anyone who did not perform a 'Full Installation' will need to re-install from CD again to ultimately play without the CD. In this case, a 'Full Installation' is required, followed by file copy step noted above.

Bug Fixes - Fixed an incompatibility between Rosetta and OpenGL mode on Intel Mac. Patches.
