First off the patch
isn't coming soon, it could take up to Feb. or longer, the
reason for this is because blizzard is working on many
changes, bug fixes, item adding, and more. As far as Ith, Occy
rings, wiz rings, and all that stuff blizzard has not
mentioned that they will delete them this patch. But they will
not infest battle.net forever, eventually these items will
only be found on open.
-
New Elite items will
be added, not sure how many, just know its happening. Blizzard
may make it so the items will only be able to be found on a
Ladder Character, this isn't known to be for sure either yet.
-
Something will be
done to the cow level whether it be making it so you can only
do it one time, or less exp gain, no ones sure what but
something will happen to it, blizzard has made this clear.

Blizzard Quotes
"No legitimate
characters or items will be deleted with this patch, although we
continue deleting hacked or duped items, as well as characters
that are part of accounts used to attack the Battle.net
servers."
"We are
introducing a new type of character, called a ladder character.
There will now be two types of characters: normal and ladder.
All characters created before 1.10 will be considered normal
characters. Characters created before 1.10 will not have the
option of being ladder characters. You must create a new
character after patch 1.10 is released, and mark it as a ladder
character to create a ladder character."
"Characters
created before patch 1.10 will not be able to join games with
these new ladder characters, although they will be able to play
with other normal characters that predate the 1.10 patch or
characters created after 1.10 that are not created as ladder
characters. This means that for the duration of the ladder
season - which is yet to be determined - these ladder characters
will exist in a new separate economy from the other Battle.net
Diablo II characters." |
