Default Re: New 2.11 Patch! +OS X Patching problem

Like many things in this game I think "biggest changes" are personal opinions.. The whole list of changes is great! (before anyone asks you can get both the patch, and read the changes, at http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Illwinter/d2/6.htm )

I think that the...
Press 'f' in battle for fast forward and 'n' to skip on turn.
will be a biggy. We saw alot of people in the newsGroups saying that lack of speed control in battles was enough to make them not play the game at all.

Im guessing that
Deviation for arrows and spells has been altered
refers to aiming.

Personally Im thrilled at seeing
Cheat detection can be disabled.
although I dont see a switch for it.

I find this note important
Several weapons and some stats altered according to Saber Cherry's mod
not because of the changes but because they are willing to acnowledge that a players mod has generated the change.

lots of new mod commands and switches the
--preexec and --renaming
are eagerly awaited by the hosting people
