According to blizzard poster Bashiok on blizzard forums Diablo II 1.13 – LOD Patch is coming out.  A post saying the following info states about the 1.13 which is about to be released:

Diablo 2 - 1.13 Patch

“We’re in the process of working on Diablo II content patch 1.13, and we want to try to include the Diablo community’s most important changes in our production schedule. To achieve this we’re asking for your input on what you’d like to see in this patch. However, we’re making it a bit stricter than a full-blown wish list.

If you were to get an advance look at the patch notes for Diablo II 1.13, what is the one patch note you would want to see?

Our goal is to get an overall sense of the single most important request from every member of the community. We want as many posts as we can get for the largest cross section, so if you have friends who used to play Diablo II or just don’t frequent the forums as much as you do, let them know this is here so we can get their “#1 patch note” too.

Please be mindful that we’re not going to be able to make every change mentioned, but hopefully with your feedback we can prioritize and do our best to cover as much as possible.”

Now before we wait for the Christmas Release of Diablo III, we can enjoy Diablo II – LOD Patch 1.13

  1. Adrian Watts says:

    As soon as this is released, we’ll have to update all the maphacks, bots and other software. Anyway i just wan’t new items.

  2. Naulon says:

    Fix the mana steal bug so that it does’t steal all my mana in one hit but slowly as it should.

  3. Austin Bard says:

    i agree with the mana bug, but also hostile, when some lv 78 comes in and u dont have a choice in hostility it should be like in WOW where both players have to agree, like in trading situations.
    But i really think blizzard should make a couple hundred rare items like as in south park the sword of a thousand truths, and include more sigons, and if no rare items include Griswold’s heart i need like 4 of those for my merchants, and gambling at the moment is no fun. since u cant try and get set items anymore.

    and if any of u need a free D2LOD account watch my video on youtube. my user name is soulfire292

    peace

  4. sean says:

    I would like to see new items as well, but more importantly, I would like to be able to play the Bnet missions on single player. Like Uber Trist, key runs, random Uber Diablo spawns, you get the idea. Even though D3 is coming out, D2 will never get too dusty on my shelves, and when its not on the internet in 5 years, I still may want to hook up with my bros and play land line connections.

  5. Chris says:

    I agree with the last post. I only play single player and prolly have one of the best characters you will ever find on single player (just as good as most online). To not be able to do the uber quest is dissapointing. I have done so much and just want to be able to do something new. It will also be fun to connect with a land line and play with others and do the quest with each other. Because right now you can’t in single player, hopefully you can put it in the next downloadable path(1.13) so all the good single players out there can actually use the Keys of Hate, Terror and Destruction which drop in single player but that is their only use at the moment.

  6. D Mac says:

    I want a “dump idiot” option, if you are hosting a game. Nothing is more annoying than having those spam ads pop in, and occasionally there is a PK idiot who wants to run around killing everyone… and then there are people who try to tag along and then jump in to steal the forge drop, etc.

    If I host a game, I want to be able to evict people.

  7. Wes says:

    I’d like better mods for rares. I’d suggest something that scales like…

    Of the Viper
    adds 1 poison damage per level per second. So a lvl 99 would get 99 poison over 1 second.

    Of fireballs
    Gives item a 10% chance to cast a level X fireball on attack. X= player level /4

    Basically, stronger mods for blues that scale up with level.

  8. Jmababa says:

    I like to be able to gamble nightmare & hell items @ gamble shop

  9. Seth says:

    you can play online uber trist / keys / uberD with the mods out now in single player, just do research and you will find the mods.

    dont forget to type /players8 to make the monsters as hard as they would be with a full server.

    i dissagre with the extra mods for rares… i think the game should be harder and rely on team efforts.

  10. Sinner says:

    I only want one thing An Arch Angel set… 2 hand sword, armor, helm, gloves, belt, boots, ring and ammy. THE ULTIMATE SET!!!

  11. Badboycl says:

    I think that everyone here has a good point. there are a lot of issues about the 1.12 patch. mana bug, the super super lag when enterin uber trist. i think that when d3 comes out if there arnt any new quests that people are going to be left in the dark as to what is going on in the world of diablo. Dosnt everyone want to know what happens. i also think that they should deffinatly add in a lot more items and make it a lot harder. char builds so strong u can 2-5 hit ubers. “smiters” =) there called ubers for a reason. if ubers dont feel like ubers then there not ubers. i also think that ad bots should be completly whiped from the existance of closed bnet. SSSSOOOOOOO anoying. and the hostil issue. everyone here has a good point. my main concern is the gap in the storyline. WHAT HAPPENS. is the biggest question. and lots of new items. it gets old finding the same 500 items everytime u do a baal run or something. anyways. thanks for sharing guys

  12. Huwhee says:

    The game should be HARDER!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. Mark Jackameit says:

    It would be nice to put a use to the Standard Of Heroes charm. come on, make it something cool. I think it should be something similar to an anni. It’s a waste of space otherwise. Why have a trophy when you have a torch to prove you beat the ubers (or traded otherwise).

  14. Alex says:

    I would like to see bnet runewords on single player and more runewords and balanced uniques, so that the “ultimate” equipment for each player is not the same. Ex) Always Enigma or Fortitude, ethereal breath of the dying, etc. The game gets really boring when everybody’s equipment is the same… Also, perhaps more sockets in uniques for “add socket” command in act V to make them competative to runeworded items.

  15. Alex says:

    OH! AND! perhaps increasing the maximum level to make the game more challenging and fun.. Perhaps to 200 or so. Or at least an even 100. It would make the game better to be able to advance to “epic” levels. Even if it takes forever to get there it’ll give more reason to play level 95 – 99 characters and not just abandon them when they almost reach the cap. Also More bragging rights, I guess.

  16. Jim says:

    Please fix the durability cost of suwayahs for assassins. The ww sin with chaos and fury runewords combo claws have to be suwayahs to do max dmg, but the repairs are more costly then anything you have to repair in this game, trust me. Each time I go out and duel someone especially if its a melee ( ww barb , smiter , zealer ) it takes me about one million gold to repair both suwayahs after only ten minutes.

  17. ELIAS says:

    Nobody wants the constricting ring i guess?

  18. misledran says:

    The game should be harder. Plus, as said earlier on here, an “ultimate set” would be pretty sweet.

  19. James says:

    I agree with Alex. Raising the max level seems necessary – maybe even adding an extra difficulty on might help with satisfying higher level char bored of their characters which will also equal out the higher max levels…

    considering runes, charms, uniques etc can all have + skill points, raising the lvls on skills should be an option also in addition to the respec.

    spam control…more items…more space in inventory or a 2 page stash…

  20. Starkvix says:

    Someone pointed out the smiter … way to strong against ubers, I know I have one, Ubers should only go down in a group effort. This afterall the spirit of the game. But, no one thought about if there were items dropped by say, Diablo, maybe one of his balls and another otherwise useless weapon in the hands of a mortal by Baal and these could only be used in CRAFTING super uber weapons, armour etc. All totally random what a differance it would make!

  21. Madman says:

    New items, more space in stash, increased max level, rare charms, more interesting item abilities (like chance to corpse explode enemy on killing or chance to permenantly freeze enemy), side quests (would restart on restarting game). Oh, and two handed shields :D joking

  22. number one fan says:

    11) brg back poWer builds like 1.09 nova/orb sorc (omg fun!!!)

    10) remove mana burn for MF Barb (1.10 mana burn = very gay…)

    9) add more ed % + ias % or m dmg to blue Weapons (etherial 09 cruels/160-60 ect…) fun items

    8) add magic resitance % to popular + blue items (the Way it is noW sucks)

    7) brg back coWs (seriously – Wtf Were you guys thinking With 1.10?)

    6) remove aruadin stack bug

    5) remove high % of immune monsters

    4) the druid is boring because of sloW casting

    3) put pvp dr back to 75%

    2) roll back 1.10 life leach to 1.09

    The most important item on this list:

    1) actually… just roll the entire game back to 1.09. 1.10 – 1.12 sucks balls. Fuck you guys.

    • number one fan says:

      plus no more “group effort” bull shit.

      there is a hostility button. that is the spirit of the game

      reliance isnt fun. playin God is.

      just roll the entire game back to 1.09. 1.10 – 1.12 sucks balls. Fuck you guys.

      • number one fan says:

        do not raise the max level. that isnt the problem. Its boring noW because you killed “the rush.”

        We Want to be able 2 make neW guys fast…

        “oh im sorry, I have to beat act three times again for the millionth time for my neW guy. because blizzard didn’t like hoW I (+ 100,000 other players) played the game When it Was fun; but dont stay up for me…” to his girlfriend…

        • number one fan says:

          Last but not least…

          They are saying to make it harder cause you killed the pvp game With 1.10

          kill the emphasis on skill points

          Blessed Hammer??? WtF douche bags???

          We Want dmg “right noW.” not some shit that has to build up. and We Want to be able to def from the other pvper…

          brg back 1.09 nova/orb sorc

          Make durance smaller

          We Were pissed about hacked Weapons not map hack

          We are pissed about add bots, not pindle bots

          but blizzard bans map hack, + pindle bots but not iths and add bots. WtF….Fuck you guys.

          just roll the entire game back to 1.09. 1.10 – 1.12 sucks balls. Fuck you guys.

  23. BleepBl00p says:

    no, wait,, that isnt a bad idea… make a new character that specializes in two handed shields and stuff
    kills people by smashing them or using it ass a giant fly swatter or something….

  24. Dominator_4 says:

    Yes, the 1.09 patch is the best!!! But, i think that no bots should be allowed! that would make the game harder! And , this is a more personal request, plz bring back buriza’s piercing atak. PLZZZZZZZZ
    I had like 20 friends playing this on the 1.08 and 1.09. After 1.10 I’m the only one… :S thats the fuksghu truth

  25. bradley cotnois says:

    1.you need to make mulitple uber lvls all around the same dificulty

    2.you need to take away the imune monsters some of us like soloeing( i love it)

    3. make 1 ultimate item that blows everything out of the water but you have to gamble for it and odds are reallly low to find it.

    4. make more set items

    5. make set items easier to find its more fun to have a ful set then to have bits and pieces

    6. make set charms( small charms)

    7.make the stash much bigger

    8.make a shared stash button, so we dont have to exfer our items really anoyying when you forget the password and lose your rarest items.

    9. we need more magic find its hard enough to get more of it.

    10.for one we just want to play the game, so make lots of features like a monster arena where you can just rake up the xp and get a prize if you complete the arena.

    i ment new areas not new uber lvls

    11. make the merc fully equipable and make merc sets ^__^

  26. Christoper says:

    I would like if getting to Uber diablo och uber tristram was MUUUTCH easier. its a pain to look för the right server and sell sojs. and uber tristram parts is also a pain!

  27. Christoper says:

    and one more thing. we want more stabilized char build. its to easy to die and run low on mana.
    because you changed your belt with 20% mana burn to a better belt with more def and faster run walk.
    this makes it not easy to change gear because the change you’ll suck after that is 100%. and to be stuck with the same gear all the time dont makes the gameplay so mutch fun.

  28. ddirtyd84 says:

    I’m pretty old school. Rushing is dead. I miss that. Trading is almost dead. No point to go out and find your items/ or find items to trade when any noob can just go out and buy their crap. those this are like 90% of the fun factor for me and they are on their way out. Bots need to go.

  29. eKo says:

    Wow, that’s a lot of BS that i just read… here’s what i get… (bear in mind i haven’t played D2 since 1.10 changed some minor irratating things)

    3. BleepBl00p: Dual shields… interesting and original. Why not?

    2. Blizzard: fix the bugs, don’t change the game, or, optional upgrades?

    1. Everyone else: STOP HACKING!!! If you don’t hack, they can’t ban! Imagine that.

  30. Armando says:

    i think they should bring out some side quests to get some older diablo players back into the game.

    another thing is that they should rise the level cap to about 150 ish.

    i’v been playing diablo since it basically came out. and it gets really annoying for evey char you make that you would have to re play the beginning acts all over again.

    people really need to stop hacking. that shit gets annoying when you have people who play legit and have one hacker just go and rape everyone.

    try to get some items or info from the book legacy of blood. i would suggest some quest from it.

    i suggest to update some NPC’s dialog. because hearing the same things ALLLLL over again and again gets pretty boring…

    umm probaly some minor changes to the towns.

    changes in the way char’s and NPC’s look. i think people who where the same cloth’s for 10 years straight would stink a bit lol.

    new skills.

    change the way items look. example – potions, weapons, and armor.

    if any one wants to discuss some more diablo related topics feel free to i/m me at BallistiX489@aol.com or through myspace,com/ballistix489

  31. martin says:

    when do the new ladde come ?
    :D

  32. Tropicalow says:

    I think if they just wack an extra difficulty level on (or another act)

    raise the max lvl.

    maybee more runes and more runewords and more uneque items.

    throw some beastly hard monsters around the place (like impossibe) with a realy high chance to drop something mad.

    That would keep me interested

  33. Henry says:

    Hey, guess what? It’s November of 2009 and they STILL haven’t released the patch!

    Typical Blizzard! Say goodbye to my $60 chip-in for Diablo III.

  34. Jovan says:

    fix that bug that always makes ppl get error ‘ unable to connect ‘ fix that smiter bug charge + vigor so he dont other make players lag, fix uber bug so we dont get dropped like it hapend’s time to time and plz balance paladin with other charters its just not fair… and ofc that ip finders are so boring pls make its diablo clone appear on sokme other way or just random ip or something, guy’s are scaming just to much…

  35. hirollaz88 says:

    i dont wanna see anything new at all i love the guber leveling,,i love the hdin messing with these things will completly fuck this game up really bad we people love thos kind of things why would you get rid of it why? blizzard your so fucking rediculous and i hope this fails on you so hard as to im switching to the r.o.t realm and imma start playing median xxl patch its funner than this p.o.s

  36. James says:

    I think this game needs a few things to keep interest. For one, not so much damaged this and screwed up that every time you open a chest. Why would anybody put such an item into a chest? Such an item(s) rightful place is in the trash! Put in at least a three page “private stash”, or like PlugY, a stash that can hold infinite items (for future builds) and changes of attire for different situations. Also, when you beat down an act boss, that boss should drop at least one item species specific to the character type that has just beaten him/her. Put in charms that befit the level of the player(s) finding them! There’s nothing more irritating than scooping up a charm at level 55, 65, 75, or 85 that’s 1 to mana or 1 to strength, required lvl 5. That’s a cheap shot! Make the game worth playing! Put in more unique, or at least more useful, small charms (or keep the big grand and large charms but add a charm bag that takes only two inventory spaces to put them in that will hold ten or twenty charms) that will help a player in their quest for the end game without having to hear “I am overburdened” every time you turn around. Oh yeah, and with a parting note, add the ability to find more charms (small charms) for resistances. Going into hell sucks when your resistances take a -100 dive.
