Gotta say, I like some of these changes. Seriously.

Magic Find will be independent in co-op. No more wheezing other people's MF juice. Elite packs will be weaker, and white mobs will get a slight increase in HP. Also, DPS for the last few tiers of weapons will have a greater chance at rolling high. Currently, finding a weapon with high DPS is next to impossible. Another change is they're beefing up 2 hand weapons, which was sorely needed. Besides crossbows, it's rare to find someone still using a two hand weapon. They're slow, and their stats don't get a boost in affixes to compensate for their slowness. They should hit harder if you swing them slower, etc.

Also, reducing repair costs of high-end items by 25%.

P.S. We’re getting rid of the Invulnerable Minions monster affix. <--- YES!

Skills for all classes are receiving buffs, too. I definitely like this approach, rather than nerfing the few good skills everyone is forced to use.

Sounds like they finally got the picture. The updates make the game sound playable again, but I still won't be going back to it.

I might actually try playing again. maybe.

I have a set weapon for your mage to use, Sed.

Such a pusher.

Get out of this thread, hater!

lol

I might start playing again too.

This game just felt so broken before :*(

They definitely nerfed it into the ground. Took out all the fun stuff and ultimately punished the players because of the botters.

Someone has to stay in here and equalize your misplaced love for a game that is simply filling the gap until Borderlands 2.

Diablo 2 started out much the same way. It doesn't keep being played to this day, because it started out good. It wasn't until it's LoD expansion pack, that players started enjoying the game.

Hmm. Must be why I don't play it today.

Oh wow!

Puzzle Ring (Ring) - This ring gives heroes a chance to summon a Treasure Goblin when they’re hit. The tooltip will be something along the lines of: "This ring sometimes calls forth a Treasure Goblin when you are hit."

…I bet that will prove to be entertaining during a boss fight.
