Blue post on official forums. Posted on 15/01/2010. http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=22418946175&sid=3000 Gee Blizz is still updating these old games. Amazing really. And the PTR patch notes can be found here. http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=21730644780
Now I know Blizzard is considered to be a special group of people who aren't as blatantly after money as others but care about their fans. But would anyone still playing D2 complain about them not updating the game? I highly doubt it, even despite this feedback they mention. In which case I don't see the point of wasting time and money on the patch. And I'm not even saying this from a "takes away from SC2 development" point of view but purely from a business one. Somebody please enlighten me why this patch is needed.
Perhaps they want each of their sections to produce tangible results? When the D2 troubleshooting team has nothing to do, they go bugfixin'?
and other companies wonder why they don't do as well. CUSTOMER SUPPORT people. oh, and FREE NEW CONTENT. i'm anxiously awaiting the Engineer class update for TF2...
