Did they announce anything as far as which patch it would start on?

Nope, likely something close to the current patch

Maybe a pipe dream but i was hoping for somwthing wow classicesque where we could play through the patches for a set amount of time

Sure, but the reason why most patches iexist is to rebalance/fix bugs. Doesnt make sense to me that they would roll back to the age of 40% life boosting shakos when they rust stormed them all

i totally get what you were saying, i'm just telling you no. if they decide they'd rather have things work that way at the cost of losing things like synch then it will be a decision they make on purpose, they know how big it is to the game's history of pvp so it's not a decision they will make lightly and then have to tell thousands of ppl "oops it was an accident. we didn't know if we did that you'd lose a pvp mechanic utalized for 2 decades."



they will be starting from the current patch 1.14d or w/e.


you guys rly should all just watch mrllamasc's video, not one of these questions posted would need to have been asked if this topic just started with a link to his vid lol.

You dont get what im saying at all. Blizzard explicitly said they will be updating the game so that it is more modern and secure from hacks etc. One of the biggest exploits in the history of this game is the fact that client side and server side can have different representations of a chars Fixing this would unintentionally kill desynch but make the game harder to exploit programmatically

i get what you are saying 100%, i am just telling you that they will not "unintentionally kill desynch" because i guarantee you that they know if they make client side and server side match up 100% of the time that it will kill synch.

it would be a choice of theirs, do we keep something important to the games history at the risk of letting the game be more hackable or do we get rid of it, period. nothing will be unintentional. i think you are actually the one who isn't getting my point. there are also ways to work around this to where they make the game completely unhackable and still keep synch, whether you believe that or not though the fact remains, they won't "accidentally" kill synch in order to make the game unhackable.

when you say that it makes it look like you think that blizz has no idea that this bug is there or how it is there or why, and ppl have been using it for 2 decades. idk maybe we are just getting mixed up on word play when we rly both feel the same way, maybe you define the word "accidentally" differently than i do, :shrugs:

I did watch that and they said nothing about wsg if Im not mistaken?

I know the underlying engine will be identical but I thought the whole premise of wsg and desynch in general was differences between the client and server. If the servers are all being updated Id be surprised if wsg was the same, if it exists at all.

kyu convos in a nutshell

Exactly. The spirit of d2 is still intact via the chars etc, but the infrastructure would be modern i.e. no syncing discrepancies
