First Hardcore char I made was a blaze sorc and she died in a lag spike in Duriel's champer
never bothered remaking a hardcore after that.

My first expansion character was a martial arts assassin, got her to level 79 on open bnet after playing her through to about 50 in single player, quit as soon as I got full natalyas set plus claws.. I don't know how people get to 99 by themselves.

I lost a HC Barb around his teens, and a HC Necro in his early 20s. Gave up after that.

Yes but it doesn't seem to exist anymore - spent a while looking for it a few months back and none of the links still work :/

New patch should be out soonish - maybe we'll hear in just over two weeks (blizzcon)?

Lol, just had a D2 lan yesterday...6 of us going hardout, was still a blast because we were playing the Multires patch (only for SP or LAN).
It works a treat, just displays in whatever resolution your monitor can handle (had some issues with Vista PC's but worked around it).

Phants - obviously check this for virus's but it's the same version we were using; http://www.mediafire.com/?n3xywdqhgkj

Our D2 is ver 1.12 (not sure what latest online is)

- Removed Oblivion Knight's Iron Maiden curse.

Wasn't that the only reason to actually take care in that level?

yah that's a huge change

however, iron maiden was fucking GAY GAY GAY GAY. melee characters were basically absolutely fucked in chaos sanctuary / worldstone keep, and mercs would insta suicide over and over.

I suppose you can interpret that as challenging or needing to take care, but in reality it made it homogaymax5000

Ive reinstalled D2, with the hope that the multi res will work, but cannot get it to work properly. Searched for answers everywhere and gave up.

Patch 1.13 says "The game can now be maximized to the largest 4:3 resolution supported (hooray widescreen users)". This isnt a res fix is it? What does it actually mean before i reinstall it all again?

To me it reads like they support any 4:3 resolution your monitor will run, so on a 1920x1200 widescreen you could get 1600x1200... if your videocard drivers support that resolution.

some huge changes

- Fixed an item dupe bug.
- Blessed Hammer - No longer ignores resistances of undead and demons.
- Uber Mephisto and Uber Baal's summoned minions no longer give experience.

no duping, huge nerf to hammerdins, no mega ultra powerlevelings in uber tristram... this will make the next ladder very interesting!
can't wait

The 1.13b PTR update is now live and available for testing!

Please refer to the original 1.13 PTR FAQ for general testing information - http://forums.battle.net/thread.html...44778&sid=3000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Patch 1.13b
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

A new Mystery has been revealed!

- Adventurers of Sanctuary are hereby warned once again, that a new challenge
awaits you. Within Diablo's Bosses, spanning across the world from the
ancient Monastery Catacombs to the Throne of Destruction, is where you'll
find what you seek...


Major Bugs

- Fixed an item dupe bug.
- Video improvements for Intel Mac machines with OS 10.5 or greater.
- Fixed an issue where some players could kill other players while in town
("TPPK").
- Fixed an issue where some players could disconnect other players when
they had too many active states.
- Fixed two issues where players could stack auras in an unintended way.


Minor Bugs

- Uber Mephisto now checks for both Uber Baal and Uber Diablo to be killed
before spawning summoned minions (Before he would only check for Uber Baal).
- The game will no longer stop and then restart the game music after the
window loses and then regains focus.
- Fixed an issue where the game window would minimize when running in
windowed mode when it lost focus.
- Fixed an issue where the game window wouldn't center properly when it
was created.
- Fangskin should now properly drop loot in Hell difficulty.
- Fixed an issue where auras were not re-applied to your mercenary after
it was resurrected.
- Fixed an issue where if you had two items which provided two auras to
a mercenary and you unequipped one, the aura from the remaining
item never became active.
- Fixed an issue where the Paladin class runeword 'Principle' wasn't
having all of its stats applied properly.


Specific changes/improvements

- Respecialization is now possible! Completing the 'Den of Evil' quest
will now additionally reward 1 free respec which can be saved. Players
who have already completed this quest should receive 1 free respec in
Hell difficulty.
- Increased the drop rate of high runes.
- Support for blit scaling in windowed mode. The game can now be
maximized to the largest 4:3 resolution supported (hooray widescreen users).
- Some rare drop items now have an orange color. i.e. Runes and items
required for Uber Tristam.
- Modified the gold bank limit to be a flat cap not bound by level.
- Removed the requirements to create a hardcore character.
- Greatly reduced the explosion damage dealt by Fire Enchanted monsters.
- Uber Mephisto and Uber Baal's summoned minions no longer give experience.
- Removed Oblivion Knight's Iron Maiden curse.
- Hellfire Torch Firestorm proc rate has been reduced to 5%.
- Users can now toggle the display of text over the Health and Mana
globes by clicking on the bottom area of each orb.
- When creating a single player game, pressing the 'Enter' key now
automatically creates a Hell difficulty game if possible.
- When creating a game, each difficulty button is now bound to a unique
key: Normal 'R', Nightmare 'N', and Hell 'H'.
- The 'Enter Chat' Button in the battle.net waiting room is now
bound to the 'Enter' key.
- Added the windows system buttons to the game window (MIN, MAX, CLOSE).
- Added new command line parameter '-nofixaspect' which allows users to
not fix the aspect ratio to 4:3 when maximizing windowed mode.
This lets the game 'stretch' to fill your monitor.
- Added support for '-sndbkg' command line switch. This enables sound
in background.
- Added the following aliases for pre-existing command line options,
'-nosound', '-window', and '-windowed'.

Mines not even online. Basically back in 2008 i was on a eeePC for about 9 months so i was (very) limited to what it could do, playing d2 was good. Got to act 1 hell and kind of put it down after that, played act1/2 last year than 3 one week earlier this year, and finally 4; will prob go on to do act 5 even though it sucks balls. The game is timeless really
