Lafietafie 2 points 3 points 4 points 2 months ago (13 children) fast forward one month and the server is filled with nothing but bots. The diablo series is truly dead for both 2 and 3. A Diablo II mod inspired by Path of Exile with a global community. Diablo 2 wiki. Diablo 2 Ladder Reset explained. Act 3's most popular and dangerous place is by far Travincal which is the best place for gold finding, runes up to Ber (which is required for Enigma runeword) or unique items like Harlequin Crest Shako or War Traveler. Mephisto's also worth mentioning as this act boss also drops decent unique and set items like Arachnid Mesh or Tal Rasha's Wrappings. If I’m not mistaken, the OP is looking for people to tcp/ip with in the style of a b.net ladder reset team, not a literal actual b.net ladder reset team. That said, while I lean more toward tcp multiplay, I’d also love to hook up with some fellow forumites on closed b.net.
Ladder Reset Diablo 2 2019 Dates
Many of you are wondering what's up with the patch and the ladder reset. While I've sprinkled some information around, it's about time it was all mashed up in one easy-to-read location.The Story -Once upon a time our internal legacy development teams wanted to put some much needed love into Diablo II. Diablo II doesn't have tournaments with millions of dollars swirling about them, so it generally took a back seat to the patch development time of our other legacy titles. But one day the planets aligned, and it was finally time to give the old girl a new coat of paint and break a bottle of champagne over her bow with the release of a patch.
This went well. Meetings were held, the community was involved and polled, and an extremely long list of ideas and changes was created. That list was then cut down to changes felt to be either necessary changes, or easily implemented to ensure development time was efficient. This also went well.Not long after, the alarm bells sounded. The patch was progressing quickly, and the release was potentially imminent. Early on it was decided, and somewhat of a no-brainer, that a ladder reset with coincide with the patch release. With the patch progressing well, a potential release of two weeks was estimated, and as always this is the exact amount of forewarning given to players and the community before a ladder reset.
Ladder Reset Diablo 2 2019 Date
An announcement was made quickly and immediately to ensure a full two week notice was given. There are many reasons for this standard two-week notice, not the least of which is that most players don't understand the meaning of ladder and non-ladder, and how a reset affects their characters. Following any reset our support departments are flooded with issues related to the change of their characters, so we attempt to inform beforehand and avoid any unnecessary confusion.This was all well and good, the community was excited, and the developers were having fun and enjoying being able to work on Diablo II again. Then, as it tends to do, reality struck. (Work had to be swiftly and immediately realigned and has and continues to be focused on addressing issues for a different title to resolve a very serious issue.The Now -The Warcraft III patch is now on the Public Test Realm (PTR) and testing is progressing. Once that patch is released work can shift back to Diablo II and the 1.13 patch, and we'll be working to getting that patch up on its own PTR as soon as possible. This could be a matter of weeks.
Once it's up and in a testing state for all of you, it's then going to be a matter of ensuring the features are good and it's a solid patch. The more people we have testing the patch and providing valid feedback, the better the patch will be, and hopefully the quicker it will be released. So that's my challenge to you. You've been waiting a long time, you want an awesome patch, you want a reset. To get all that, we need good solid testing and feedback, reproduction steps for bugs, detailed descriptions of issues or errors, etc. So once this goes live on the PTR, I expect some crazed-youruinedtheeconomy-testing.

Seriously not one person on the team could be bothered for 30seconds to post 'hey something big came up, expect delays'I love the fact that Blizzard is straight up and honest with its customers, rather than being completely silent like 99% of gaming companies out there. A couple weeks wait is better than nothing at all.QFTand perhaps consider the fact that they're still supporting a game that's just had it's 9th birthday. Haha most developers don't even last that long. On July 01 2009 10:45 Irrelevant wrote:I just love that it takes blizzard two month to give the community even a heads up that something was wrong.

A couple weeks wait is better than nothing at all.Thats nice that theyre usually good about communicating, but it still doesn't make up for the fact that this d2 patch deal was screwyI don't know if you've played diablo2 before, but the ladder and nonladder trading economies are completely different. Announcing a ladder reset basically makes the ladder realm dead and unplayable in terms of the trading game (nobody will buy anything, and all prices become extremely volatile).It's 100% fine that something came up and the patch was delayed. However, the fact that blizzard took 2 months to simply post a forum update is ridiculous. Literally, a 5-10 word forum post would have saved the entire diablo2 economy from becoming unplayable. Diablo2 is an old game but it still has paying customers, its not like they have completely zero obligations to the community.If blizzard said starcraft2 would be released in july, and then nothing happened (not even a verbal update) until september, people would be pissed off. This is the same thing on a smaller scale. On July 01 2009 10:45 Irrelevant wrote:I just love that it takes blizzard two month to give the community even a heads up that something was wrong.

When nothing is said, they get a little angry. On July 01 2009 10:45 Irrelevant wrote:I just love that it takes blizzard two month to give the community even a heads up that something was wrong.

Ladder Reset Diablo 2 2019 Release
I'm still not willing to throw them under the bus for it though. On July 01 2009 21:51 Empyrean wrote:Are those final three 1.11 runewords ever going to be released?maybe soon, but im sure theyd need to balance it.yes, to whoever talked about economy. The economy on nonladder will always stay the way it is but on ladder, when blizzard said 'reset is very soon' a lot of items that were once expensive were just 'eh, whatever, let this go for 20 pgems' or whatever. And a lot of people use the site with the funny gold, the economy change is even far greater. Im glad blizzard is doing what they are, but their mistake was announcing it too early then saying oh fuck, we need to delay bc its not ready. I hope they nerf some of the skills in the new patch though.
