Wait wait don’t you mean Diablo 3 ? No, surprisingly as it is, even though most Diablo fans are focused on the 3^rd version of the game, Blizzard has a announced another content update for the good old Diablo 2. Personally, I was really happy to hear this as it shows that even after 9 years there are still people interested in this game. So what’s with this 1.13 version anyway? Well, firstly I’ll begin by saying that the release date is really uncertain, as it has been moved back a forward quite a few times so far. Some say that this update may never come as it the old version of battle-net can not take all the changes. But let’s hope they are wrong and that Blizzard will find a way to add the things that they announced.

This is not a simple patch made to fix minor bugs. It is a content pack, which means that new features will be added (of course that bug fixing won’t be skipped). One important thing that will be added is the possibility to re-spec. That really is good news no?  The one thing that I did not like about Diablo was the fact that once you added a skill point somewhere,  it stayed there forever. Many times I re-made characters because minor mistakes in adding those points, so a re-spec option would be more than welcome. Another important feature will be the increment  of the stash space (again). Also, this feature was demanded years after years by the Diablo community.

Other changes may include:

• Synergy Bonus Changes
• A possible change to the way grinding is carried out after level 80-90 ( maybe no more Baal runs)
• New items

Let’s hope that this pack will be release, the date for that is not of great importance because as Blizzard’s history has shown us, they never managed to deliver a game on time(not even Starcraft or Diablo 1) but they always created masterpieces.
