Funny stuff with the new D2 patch
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Well I just downloaded the new Patch for Diablo 2. I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this bug. I find that my characters cannot run anymore. I can press the run key and they will make the motions, but they move at the same speed (maybe a little faster) then walking. This is very annoying for I always run, and the characters were much faster running then with this new patch....

maybe they toned down the speed of some of the fasted run abilities.
or it could just be lag.
chak, it's d2, what do you expect?
every patch fixes something, turns even more things into worthlessness and breaks about 6x what it fixed.

Got a good point. Maybe I shall take this time to curse software companies who patch their software so much that at the end of its shelf life, their programmers wouldn't be able to identify or recognize their original code under all that grafted stuff!

An observation on this last patch.
I have all character classes up to 80+ All these characters have been developed prior to the current patch. Every one of these characters is now not able to be played as they were designed to be. This patch has changed way too much. The removal of leaching ability has created a shortcoming in almost all combat characters. Multishot amazons have been effectively neutered down to pushing a wheelchair. To modify the leach and not allow manna or revjuves to be sold has changed pre-designed characters.
It appears many people will have to recreate characters or do some serious mid stream skill changes.
Although it may be interesting to create new characters to be effective with the new game conditions, I must voice my displeasure with the patch and Blizzard. It's just too much of a game change.
As I became upset after playing each of my now almost useless characters, I created a few new characters and had the feeling that I was playing a very different game. One that will take much longer to beat or that in some cases will not be a solo experience but one that will require teamwork in order to defeat many monsters.
The chaos sanctuary is now a very nasty place. All the knight are unleachable and are called "undead warriors"
Because of the drastic change in many of the characters and the general game play alterations; I would expect many very upset gamers. I would also expect the DOS attacks to once again be aimed at blizzard.
Get into a hell level game and listen to each of the high level characters describe how upset they are.
I do not condone anyone attacking or doing anything to harm blizzard. But given the public’s recent attacks on blizzard for simple changes to the game, I see this as a very big deal to those who have played the game.
Just my thoughts. I don't care either way. The new patch has made the game so different that I am actually interested in playing it again. It's like a different game.
