Halloween Soon!

Halloween is coming. Are you ready? If you're not, well then too bad. If you are, then have a great time!


Next Week's Topic Will Be:


In light of a recent email submitted by one of our fans, we'd like to honor his humor by setting a topic closely related to his particular email: Write a funny quest--relevant to Diablo--of your own that will keep us laughing all day and all night!

Send us your stories



Now on to the feedback on last week's topic in which we asked
what you would like fixed with Patch 1.04 (Other than the obvious). Here's what you guys had to say:



From: Berman
Subject: Topic o' the week


I would like them to include a TCP/IP LAN server list. Similar to the one they have in Starcraft for the LAN game option in Diablo 2. I think It would be a nice addition and would be easily implimented without causing much of a problem.

Sounds dandy, though I'm not sure if the masters would consider doing that in a patch.

Subject: Patch


The thing I'd like to see most is a fix to the bug where, when you die as a Necro, sometimes you will still be standing there. You are still dead, but you can do nothing but go back to town. Blizzard knows this is a bug, I just hope they fix it with 1.04.

Also, your link to this feedback gose to a page that says "Foolish mortal, the page you have requested was not found. Please check the address for typos and try again. If the problem persists, e-mail us. Click here to return to PlanetDiablo." Just wanted to let you know.

Sometimes it's just lag, but Blizzard is promising a whopper of a patch!

Dead link, eh? Never heard of that one...

Patch 1.04

I would suggest that they fix hardware merchants so that the quality of armor and weapons actually keeps up with the characters.

for example a barbarian or an amazon get loads of gold but have absolutely no use of it.

I Normal level it ist OK but in Nightmare and Hell levels you only get what you find. I do find a lot of good stuff but only necromancers and paladins has the possiblity of spending lots of gold on good staffs.

Especially i would like the gambling stuff to keep up in quality.

.
Change the whole game in a patch...hmm, we aren't talking about Counter-Strike now are we?

What I'd like to see changed in 1.04

What I would really like to see in 1.04 is some way to kick unwanted players. I don't care if a host/moderator is declared, or if there is a voting system, or how it is implemented. I am just sick and tired of having to leave the game that I created because some jerk shows up and decides to start killing everyone. At present, there is nothing you can do about such situations. You can ask them to leave, but if they don't then there is nothing you can do, except leave yourself. Not a satisfactory solution.

It's been suggested before--and it's a great idea, but we unfortunately don't know when and if it will make its debut in the Diablo series.

Subject: What I would like see fixed with the 1.04 patch and a confession


I would like to see them fix the problem with the Paladin's Zeal skill. It was awesome on normal but from nightmare on it becomes useless. it gives you an attack rating boost but yet you miss with it more than with a regular attack. And if you miss with the first swing you just about always miss every swing. And if a monster walks up after the first swing you will always, always miss them, not that that stops you from swinging 20 more times. I know he has other useful skills(Fist of the Heavens not being one of them)but it just totally makes a useful skill become crap. I play with 2 other people over a lan and we have reached the 40-50 lvl range and I dropped him in favor of a barbarian. Not just because of this, my companions requested that I do so, but it didn't make it any harder to do so for sure. A little confession on my barbarian. Quite frankly I only enjoy multiplayer games now, it's more challenging and fun. Single player bores me after completing the same quests over and over again. Neither me or my companions would earn much experince with such a lvl difference and I didn't want to yawn my way through a single player game so I got a hacking program, I admit it. I changed his lvl to 50(same as my paladin was) and gave him all the attribute points and skill points that a lvl 50 would have(and put points into prerequisite skills I didn't want). Nothing more, nothing less. And his equipment is also legit stuff I got in the game. I don't play on Bnet with him, just lan, and yes they know. I know I'm evil for using the hack but you couldn't tell him apart from a non-hacked character and the joy of not having to work him up from a single player game makes it all worth while.

Fair enough.
