some patch ideas

[Cruciarius]

here are a few patch ideas i have:

1) we all know about the friend list. some of us even have it full. how about increasing the friend list limit to 30 or 35? this way, i'll actually be put on some friends lists, since all my d2 friend's have their lists full. :cry:

2) add another list. the squelch list. i'm tired of having to re-squelch people, every time i play d2. give us a squelch list, so we can perm squelch people (until we remove them from the list, of course).

3) expand the anya personalization quest. she lets you put your name on an item, which after words, decreases the items trade value. how ever, i think the trade value would increase, depending on name of course, but also if we were able to color the item. lots of unique items, are colored. i'd love to be wearing say...a black nigma.

if not adding this to anya's personalization quest, then maybe adding it to some other quest?

4) ever since the 1.10 patch, d2 has seemed to have more lag, for me. also, back in 1.09, i could kick ***, take names and all while listening to my favorite tunes in itunes. however, with the patch of 1.10, i cannot listen to my tunes, while playing. IF i get itunes and d2 running together, d2 is painfully slow and my music pauses on occasion. release a 1.12 patch, which fixes this and the lag, please.

5) do something with crafting. like maybe able to get + skills on crafted armor. back in 1.09, i had a necro decked out in crafted items and he kicked butt. now, all i ever see crafted is rings, ammys and gloves. i'd also love to see class specific crafting. :thumbsup:

6) expand act 4. it's far too short and needs more. maybe this could be where the colorizing of items can take place?

[LordofAnnihilation]

I definitely agree with expanding act 4, but keep in mind that all of act 4's quests are worthwhile, unlike, say, act 3, where you can skip 3 or 4 of the quests. Also, for v1.12, they need another new challenge for players. They've definitely got something going here when they made DClone, and now Uber Trist. Why stop there? Cram every super unique in the game into one area. Now that would be challenging. :P

[Cruciarius]

i wouldn't mind if they are useless quests or not.

heck, we could have some portal open, after killing d and then have some other forge, where we need to smash his soul stone. double forge! :thumbsup:

How about the secret duck level? (http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=439973)

[Cruciarius]

that secret duck level would be in D3, as mentioned in that thread. :wink3:

i just thought of how colorization could be worked into a quest. natalya is in act 3, up until a certain point, then she vanishes (last i knew anyway). how about add more to act 4 and have her appear at some point, in act 4. she sends you on some quest for say...some ninja thing, like a scroll or something. in return, she'll color an item for you. i know i'd do that quest, no question about it. walk around with an enigma, but have it black, like corpsemourn or maybe green, like leviathan. it'd rule and add more value to some items, i think. :jig:

you're really bent on that quest aren't you? ;-)
didn't your parents buy you enough coloring books as a kid? :rolleyes:

[Cruciarius]

yes, they got me coloring books. :grin: you wouldn't like to colorize an item? like maybe change cerberus' bite to blue or turn leviathan to red. then nobody would know what item you were wearing, unless you showed/told them.

[Nimbostratus]

I'd love to be able to change an item's color. Some of the uniques just look so horribly ugly with their current colors. Vampire Gaze would look so much better if it wasn't green...

no, i think it would be cool if we could do that...i was just giving you crap cuz you seem so bent on being able to change the color of an item ;-)
Of all the things to worry about.....j/k :grin:

[FiReY ToOtHpAsTe]

ya.. a bigger friends list would help and squelch list would be nice to..

[Evrae Altana]

Changing color sounds nice. Now my hammerdin won't have to wear the ugly green hat anymore :rolleyes:

[Orphan]

Bigger friends list? I think the real issue here is the people that are socialising when they should be killing some monsters (that's the real question) :tongue:

Seriously though, I'd be happy if the personalise quest:

- Allowed you to de-personalise an item
- Allowed you to overwrite an existing personalisation
- Have the option to tag on the character's title*
- Put the personalised name next to the runeword name, rather than the item name

*Though I prefer the classic titles to the expansion :/

[Yokomohoyo]

how about a quest that could let you end the game for real j/k
how about an option that could let you keep your realms character to single player but not the other way around?

[Triekje]

expand the anya personalization quest. she lets you put your name on an item, which after words, decreases the items trade value. how ever, i think the trade value would increase, depending on name of course, but also if we were able to color the item. lots of unique items, are colored. i'd love to be wearing say...a black nigma.I like this idea alot, just with a simple cube recipy orso... then u can really personalize a character...

Wirts leg + 3*PGem (same gems ofc.) + Item... Then style points will go skyrocketing! :grin:
Then it's just like classic al about stylepoints :cool:

How about the secret duck level?Already exists in dungeon siege... though there it's called "the secret chicken lvl".... would still be fun though... when u kill a duck feathers have to fly around your screen :jig:

bigger friends list GIB!!!!! i really need this!

Squelch list Gib Gib Gib Gib... needs to be unlimited... because i got a major list off people i wanna squelch...

how about a quest that could let you end the game for real j/kthere already is one... selling the D2 cd..... most off us failed till now... :tongue:

[BehindEnemyDeadlines]

I quite like the colour idea. I hate the personalisation reward full stop though. I mean it's utterly pointless really, esp if it devalues your item. I don't I think I bothered to claim it in NM. It would be nice if the runes you get given for that other A5 quest upgraded as you went through the difficulties. They could give you the runes for sanctuary in hell or maybe NM and it would still fit with the dialogue. They could give you the rune for spirit too perhaps but I'm not sure how the dialogue goes so it might not work. It would be really good if there was some way of auto organising the inventory so you didn't have to keep swopping items round to make them fit. It would be great if there were some godly items with devilish penalties for using them. I thought the concept of mallice was great, 100% OW at a price. CTC of an equivalent spell to gester in Diablo I would be cool too. i'd definitely open all the serverside content up for SP in a new patch...well maybe not the 1.10 world event cos you'd never sell enough SOJs but the uber quest and the runewords. Fix all the damned bugs! Make it so you can switch a weapon and, if you have no shield on switch and the weapon is one-handed, the shield will stay equipped and active. maybe make it possible to gamble runes. in the gambling window there could be a misc option that would give you anything from bolts and keys to a zod, depending on CLVL and rediculous odds against of course. Gambling in the cube would be a good alternative. There could be a drop all button for those who run round with full inventories and drop stuff to pick other stuff up. Just my two cents.

[Cruciarius]

i'd also like to see those shamans added into the countess' tower. it would add a little annoyance to the tower, which would make it take a bit longer to get through. :shocked:

this would possibly be a d3 thing, but i'd love to be able to have a quest where i make my own set. something like crafting, but have it give bonus mods, if wearing more items. hmm...now that i think of it, expand crafting. make so if you personalize a crafted item, it becomes part of a "set". it would of course have a limit of 3 items (1 per difficulty).

[BehindEnemyDeadlines]

To make your own set! Now that would be cool! if only it was the substitute for the personalise quest.

[Chanri]

You know what 1.12 need?
*Less runewords.
*More uniques
*Cow farm for levels again (just like patch 1.09) :grin:
*Balance the class types (ex. Fire sorc, Javazon, etc.( Bowzon sucked after 1.09....)

[Cruciarius]

i hope 1.12 has...

- no new rune words. we have enough.
- more uniques, including a large unique charm, since we have small and grand. also, ones that rival the "godly" rune words.
- use the act 5 variant town (check the LoD box, if you don't know what i'm talking about).
- another set for druid and asn. they both only have 1 set each, while others get more.

doesn't the torch count as a large unique charm ;-)

oops. your right. how could i forget about the torch? thats one of the items i'm ISO. :rolleyes:

Not everyone keeps the box... Do you have any pictures of it know anywhere I could find one?

[Cruciarius]

i did a quick google search, but couldn't find any images of it. i'll see about scanning it sometime, if i can locate my box (i know i kept it).

anyway, it had the entrance of the town on the top right side, instead of the top left side. i don't really remember much else about it, but i know their was more that was different.

[Cruciarius]

i did find my box, however, i got the battle chest. it was when buying D2 and LoD separately, it showed an alternate Harrogath layout, i think. i know i held the box and it showed the NPCs in different locations, than what is in the actual in game Harrogath.

i think it's a bit odd that i can't seem to locate any pictures of it, using google. or even any sites mentioning it. maybe i didn't look hard enough, but i know the package did show an alternate Harrogath.

if anyone has the expansion package (not the battle chest), please look it over and look closely at the images on it. also, if you could, scan it or take a picture of it, so others know what i'm talking about. :cool:
