    One of the files was not updated, run Diablo II Launcher.exe or repatch your client and overwrite the files if you used the manual method.

    "Increased Unique monster density in the new level 85 areas"

    Could you be as kind to confirm if monster density is apply also to "old" 85 areas like Pits of Chaos ?

    Only to the new mentioned areas so they match the density of the regular level 85 areas.

    Thank you for keeping the community alive especially for old players that miss the feeling of playing the true diablo 2.

    Do we still have time to request new feature/propose improvements? If so, can you please consider to enable the next features?
    • auto gold pick up
    • allow multiple torches/annis in stash
    • allow multiple horadric cubes in stash
    • update holy bolt to damage demons/animals
    • remove shared cooldown for druid fire skills
    • as an alternative to Sunder Charms please cap Fire/Cold/Poison Monster immunity at 100. So players will be able to play other builds in addition to light/hammer/CE
    • transform the next areas into 85
      • Cows
      • Halls of Vaught
      • Halls Of Pain
      • Flayer Jungle
      • Tall Rasha's Tomb
      • Dry Hills
      • Sewers
      • Tristram

    got a few questions about changes of dr2 that i dont find on the patch notes that are important (at least for me)

    1: there would by a change about how NHD work like d2r, that make a few builds viable for example wake of fire trapsin
    2: other important thing, fast cast skills go to by implemented or we still need to use the skills like old school?
    3: i dont know why implement the mosaic runewords without the most important thing of that that is ''not consume charges on finish move''

    and thats all, i know that sunder and terror zone dont go to by implemented, that sound like something hard to make.

    thx for me and sorry if i write a few things wrong, i dont speak english.

    @69metal69, if there are changes that cannot be found in the patch notes that means they are not available in the legacy version but only in D2R. Stuff like the "No Hit Delay" or local cooldowns over global cooldowns are hardcoded features specific to D2R and the same goes for the "not consume charges on finishing move" attribute. Indeed, mosaic is a mediocre runeword without the latter, but that attribute remains too overpowered and the assassin received a boost anyway. The replacement attribute (Poison Damage) that matches the other elements can be subject to change in the future, and ideas on this are welcome in the suggestions category.

    That's literally a boost @R2D2V2, together with the other increased synergies. Basically, skill synergy reliance on “Lightning Fury” is being freed up, which makes the lightning melee skills a cheaper skill point alternative to build around.

    ok gentlemens, you convinced me.then I propose to change the multiple shot skill, make it like strafe in terms of damage, otherwise there is no point in changing the strafe skill and no one will use multiple shot

    • Pushed a fix on all servers for the Hustle Runeword (Weapon) as it wasn't casting BoS correctly on strike, the fix will take effect when the servers restart later on.

    Well, maybe you noticed yet that the Max Gold in stash view is not correct. It views the max gold as in battle.net but you can stash up to 30M.
    Not a big deal though but maybe you want to fix it.

    will you change the skill descriptions of the skills that you changed, or will you leave them unchanged?
