| Post subject: | Patch Reset |
I read a post from Pious that mentioned the Reset has been delayed another 2 weeks. Now honestly i dont care if it happens tomorrow or a day before diablo 3. Ill probly still play after the reset. However the reset/ patch was initially set for something like august 1st if i remember right? We're entering the 2nd month for this "hotfix" (that was what it was supposed to be if everyone remembers correctly) What I'm trying to say is the servers are all but ghost towns when I get on to play. I even resorted to trying SC again (shudders at the lack of skill some people possess) Is this High res dilemma really worth it in the end...If only 15 people remain to enjoy it? |

yes it has taken longer. yes the servers are not as populated while things get sorted. when it resets, the latter will very likely be solved. i personally know of several people that won't play d2 until there is some hires version...they seem to have more patience than most around here. |

I personally don't mind the fact that the reset got pushed back another 2 weeks. It kinda sucks not being able to play HC right now due to the lack of players, but I'd rather them release a patch relatively free of bugs and exploits than release it before it's ready. Until the patch comes we'll all just have to be patient. |

Considering its probably going to be a patch that will stand for 6 months if not longer it will be a good idea to get things sorted out now anyways. |

D3 has had many dev team changes over those years.. Are u implying we are gna have the same issue?  All im saying is this was initially a small patch to fix some op things and has snowballed into alot more.. Is it gna continue snowballing or are we near completion? |

| Post subject: | Re: Patch Reset |
I mean.. seriously.. don't you have other things to do? It's not such a big deal of patch is delayed. I understand the server is dead but there are things that need to be addressed/sorted out and it requires time. I'd hope D2 is not of that much importance that a dead ladder before a reset Oh... I read your post wrong JnDmX. Ignore the above. lol the servers are always dead before a reset. When a reset occurs population shoots up like crazy. It's how it always is. |

All im trying to get across is something that was supposed to be small has turned into something much more. For the better? Probably. My concern for gameplay is balance. Always will be. Just unsure even with testing, how you can keep balance in check with so many changes. |

Just unsure even with testing, how you can keep balance in check with so many changes. I'm kinda with you on this one. I'm eagerly awaiting the new patch and content, but at the same time a little reluctant about some of the bigger changes. It's just hard not to notice both Blue's patch and this one started out as mostly tweak patches, and have steadily grown into something that has the potential to change the mod big time. I guess in my case it's mostly just fear of the trainwreck of 1.3a repeating itself. The patch should turn out fine though I think. At least this time around Mancer is working with us here&there and like most I trust his judgement on his own mod. It's also not really fair to compare this time around to Blue's when we have several times the manpower, and several respected old timers(even Terry himself) all keeping each other's changes in check. I'm also trying to keep in mind while Blue's patch was lackluster in many regards, I still played the hell out of it and enjoyed it. So it isn't like we have these massive shoes to fill. I can only really see the patch moving forward in a positive direction from here. |

People need to quit suggesting shit last minute then -.- |

| Author: | Lee [ Wed Aug 31, 2011 12:54 am ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Patch Reset |
Suggesting shit the last minute wasn't the problem.. It was sheer laziness of people not testing anything in SP. Everything needed testing including the amp/boss physical nerf. Again Fury druids decimate every single thing in the game as I've predicted. It took me 10-20 min to test this. No one wants to spend time doing it on SP. I raped Hell Diablo with 75% leech. I used two juvs. Killed him in 15-20 sec only with 28k AR. 30k would be the ideal. But still people are talking zeal bugs/ar and irrelevant stuff rather than admitting the fury druid is going to be op as hell. Don't know what more tests you want. Simple kiting and you can smoke any im boss because the kill speed is notoriously fast. Smoked all 3 seals in less than 3-4 juvs. The guy who stuns is fucked up damage wise or something and his stun rapes you. If you want a more realistic test I'm sure you can do it with UDie2. This was pretty realistic though. I had no fire abs and not even using a rare eth tmaul which can get 3 cb, right? A doubt a barbarian could abuse through IM like a fury druid, however, because you can cast IM while your WWing and which you instantly dead. It's single target attacks that are able to kite and dodge the IM. Thats what I did the whole fight. I just attacked moved attacked moved and made sure IM didn't kill me. It doesn't take godlike skill to do that. I imagine meph would go down just as fast probably 2-4 juvs and some mana pots and Duriel maybe in 20-25 or even 30 due to his smite. |

The majority of the testing was done to check the points that were put up as changed. Pious tested a lot of melee builds on single player. I don't think you realize how much was done while you were on vacation. Testing was done just no one tested Fury. Making it D2SE compatible slowed it down. High Res slowed it down and now Low Res High Res fix is going to slow it down but it will be worth it. |

Oh well I had the assumption not much testing was done. I guess I was wrong. In any case everything else looks good. Tested nado druids they don't actually kill that fast @50 nado and max amp. They seem pretty balanced vs bosses. Don't think there's be many other problems. |

I'm sure a zealer will rock pretty good. DragonScale is pretty gg. You just need war runes.. that kinda sucks and a good 1h wep. ETh rare zerker I suppose. Hitting ds is a little harder now though if u go eth rare. Max DS anyway. What builds were you testing? Like Hammerdins? |

I just arrived here a few days ago, and dont know what have been done till now or anything. But good things deserve time, and delaying something few days, months if it is for good is always good. Also, this is a free project developed by ppl on their free time so just for this matter none should blame them for delays or anything. I assume it's being done what i has to be done, huh?  Good work with it^^ |

One thing I did notice, when using BA the passive LL doesn't show on the char screen. Turn BA off and it shows. Is that a bug? I had switched to BA to boost my AR a bit more on a sac/healer. |

It's a peculiarity of how blessed aim works... It doesn't seem able to do a self bonus only while active (only while not active). To make it give the leech bonus while active would probably mean giving the leech to the entire party. |

Okey so that ladder reset has been pushed back a little by this new update patch, so can we get a new date for the ladder reset? or are you guys still planing on releasing more shit before the reset? |

No this will be the final beta. Personally I don't think this 2nd beta really needs to take 2 weeks myself. Things should be finally cemented to an acceptable state now. |

It's coming soon (likely sooner the blizz's trademark soon). I'm not making a judgment on whether the process has been slow or not. I'm just saying if you're waiting for the day when people stop making demands (i.e. a reset), you're waiting for the day people stop caring about the mod. You should be happy with this kind of passion for the mod. Who wants to play/support/update a mod nobody else was interested in? |
