Patch 1.12b comming?

[MagicMatze]

Hiho,
Europe realm is down for nearly 3 hours and a user at indiablo.de talked about something Telia wrote in the german channel:

Good day, DII Europe community. We're proud to announce the oncoming next patch 1.12b for today's eve. Due to this there currently is a full rust-storm running, which might still take an awful while.

or is it just a fake?

I've noticed some other 1.12b references floating around today, so there might just be a 'patch'(you can hardly call 1.12a a patch, it fixed NOTHING!), so hopefully someone at blizzard did some work for a change and fixed bugs or added new features....

[Desocupado]

Probably something along the lines:
1.12b changelog
"Added in-game advertisement about the upcoming product, diablo 3"

[Nefarius]

so hopefully someone at blizzard did some work for a change and fixed bugs or added new features....

If we can't fix it, lets break it more! (tm)

Expect something along the lines of

1.) Added 10 new runewords (actually 3)
2.) Fixed a bug that allowed users to launch the game without a CD

If they really did something worthwhile then it would be a pleasant surprise, but the probability of that is approx. zero to none. If they at least fix a few of the core bugs...

[WarWolf]

It even seems they re-introduced some old bugs again, there is an old (1.10) barbarian drophack working again and maybe other things aswell. Hope they fix that stuff, PvP is no fun like this.

[Desocupado]

Let's try to get some hopes up...

1.12b changelog
-Added a new play mode, single player

As we have realized that players could not play on the hacked battle.net we implemented this new feature (we removed it on 1.10)

It still amuse me how some of you keep complain about new patches. Be happy Blizzard care to work on new patches still even those been minor compare to past.

it have been known pretty long that they are working on another patch. If this is anything bigger than last time or not that time will tell.

You have to remember most of Blizzard's resources is on Diablo III and not Diablo II. I'm sure we rather would see Diablo III be out as soon as they are ready over delay it with work on Diablo II.

2.) Fixed a bug that allowed users to launch the game without a CD

If you readed about 1.12 you would realise 1.12 nocd patch was made because of digital distributions (they did the same by the way with starcraft/warcraft).

[Necrolis]

If they're just nocding everything to make themselves richer then i really couldn't care less whether they patch or not(it only really benefits thier pockets...) plus it required nothing more than commenting out a few lines...

[MagicMatze]

The realm yesterday was down for five hours. And now its up again but no patch or something new.

Maybe it was a full ruststorm?

[CorniI]

They changed cheatprotection with 1.12 again, including some new serverside hack protection (as far as some forums say if you enter >20 games/h you can get a ban). Also all DRLG-structs changed+new ordinals. Seems like there is some sort of documentation on how to release a new patch for D2

[gogodanny]

sorry but untering >20 games per hour is ridiculous ...

i remember while I played vanilla back (well when was that ... dunno) I usually stayed in one game for more than 10 minutes depending on what I was doing.
Usually i was farming the lvl 85areas in A1 + andariel, flayerjungle + lower kurast + highclerics in travi + mephi, diablo with sealbosses, shenk, eldritch, nihlatak and pindleskin.
takes definitly more than 3 minutes to accomplish

[Necrolis]

That limit is to stop things like pindle and meph bots, i'm suprised more 'people' haven't complained, bot.net is 200k bots and 5k humans... So far nothing more has been heard on this patch so for now it looks like a farce...

I went in the other day, just to keep some characters active. 5 characters inside three minutes results in a ten minute lockout on US-East and Europe.

I look forward to any more patches, though I dare say, this sleeping demon, won't be playing online any time soon.

I have a good idea how to fix the botters, if it detects them somewhat perfectly, (Okay, that's a joke) they have to type in Pi to the 10 trillionth place in order to continue, and they also have to type it in at normal human speed.

I think that would get rid of the botters, the MHers, and so forth.
All sillyness aside, I just don't understand why people do that....
Edit: I know, it will take the average person about 50 years to do that...and the average bot 40 seconds...
