However I maintain that I am not an expert dueler and you should remember that when you read my guide.Ī warning: this guide involves lots of planning. Unlike my previous guide, I will have suggestions given to me by other players for PvP as well as PvM. The purpose of this guide is to create a character which will kill cows in a flash, but at the same time be able to kill anywhere in Sanctuary, Hell Chaos Sanctuary included.
They would have also followed through on their promises of game maintenance (eg, runewords etc.) Conclusion: they're less committed than they claim.This guide is an introduction into Javazons. In short: if they cared as much as they claimed to, there would be regular patching of security problems with the game, and the cloned and bugged wreckage of the online economy would never have been an issue. In absolute terms this is a non-trivial amount of money, but it does sort of pale in comparision to the ongoing profits Blizzard are making in new sales. Until the recent round of QA testing, it seems they've had one employee working on it for the last 18 months.
Diablo 2 maphack 1.09 Patch#
The 1.10 patch stuff though, I concede, has been taking resources that Blizzard didn't have to commit. Oh, save they they did promise regular new runewords, craft recipes and the like that never did eventuate. Again, while it would be nice if they did more, this is all we can really expect. while touting the secure on-line play as a feature, it really does seem reasonable that they should be obliged to do exactly that. Given they're still selling the game, making a profit on it etc. With the exception of the new features in the 1.10 patch, Blizzard do seem to have done the bare minimum possible to keep Diablo II running on Battle Net. To reiterate: very occasional account purges are not a very effective way of dealing with the problems of Battle Net. While they claim to be addressing the problem of cheaters, this claim is belied by their actions. Regarding the rest of your comment though, Blizzard really haven't done much at all for the game since since 2001.
of course they're not obliged to care (though it'd be nice of course.) If they don't care, but claim that they do in press releases, then it is a bit hypocritical, which is generally regarded as a bad thing.
More importantly, they're demonstrating that they care about the people who are still playing by getting rid of cheaters and providing better customer care than some of the companies running MMORPGs which you actually have to pay monthly fees to play. In short, Blizzard cares more about Diablo 2, a product over two years old that is now being sold at discounted prices, than most companies care about games in their first month of release. Even more relevant, Blizzard is STILL trying to address the problem of cheaters as is clearly evidenced by THIS STORY. During that time, they've also been provided with new special items, enhancement and correction of unbalanced skills and repair of the serious playability bugs that existed.
Diablo 2 maphack 1.09 Offline#
Since the game's release, people have been able to play through the entire game easily offline (in other words, no significant bugs that prevent such), they've been able to do matchmaking on AND they've even been able to play games hosted on servers. Now, I'll examine whether or not they do indeed care: The fact that they haven't conjures up various conspiracy theories, or (in my opinion the more likely option) demonstrates that they really don't care that much about the problem despite their press releases.įurther, the two years without a patch, despite the myriad insecurities brought to light, gives further evidence of a lack of caring.įorgive me for asking, but why SHOULD they care? Diablo 2 has been out for three years and the expansion has been out for two.
