Diablo 2 Patch 1.13c

Oh well, though, hopefully it's because they're working on Diablo 3.

My thoughts exactly. I'm sure Diablo 3 will have everything that's always been wanted to help sell and keep the game relevant and fresh. This is just to keep Diablo 2 players that are still active in the game somewhat happy.

shared-stash

What exactly is this?

Essentially, make it where you don't have to mule items between characters on the same account. There would be a shared stash for your account. They also said they would increase the stash size.

So much for a content-patch.

Fuckers.

I wanted a new patch that came out with a bunch of new shit/monsters/runewords/quests to prepare for Diablo 3.

Blizzard has failed.

Yeah, the opening paragraph of the patch notes kinda pisses me off because it made me think there was some new sort of adventure (like uber trist and the various ubers). All they added content wise is 4 items that drop from already existing bosses and only serve to reset your skills. Granted, being able to reset your skills is cool, but it's kinda late to be adding something like that to the game. They should have added that in addition to something new.

Three words: World of Warcraft.

WoW's a fucking absurdity. Just a constant gear grind. Yuck, ugh, puke.

It isn't too bad if you don't play it to "be the best". I enjoy leveling characters, and doing dungeons. The gear is a nice bonus for me, but I'm not one of those people that is running dungeons just so I can get better gear. I find I enjoy the game more that way.

Kinda like how when I play Diablo 2 I play legit through the levels rather than just getting rushed. I end up finding most of the gear I need, or enough to trade for the gear I need (if I let myself do that, sometimes I don't.)

When you turn a game into work, it is just that, work. I don't play games to work.
