Yeah, I don't think that the Legacy team put much thought into this.

Yes, it's beginning to look like the initial thought on version 1.13 was "Hey, we need to put out a patch for Diablo II so they think we're still thinking about it. Find out what the easiest fixes/updates are and we can throw a few of those into a patch."
I just installed this again because of the patch news. Frankly, I wasn't expecting anything new - just a ladder reset, hopefully some combativeness against bots/dupers, and some other tweaks (like no minimize on click-away when windowed - that used to bug me like nothing else). Also taking away the resistance ignoring on Blessed Hammer should help reduce their over-powered-ness.
Not sure how much you guys will be using the test realm, but I'll play around in it if you want to. Chzn8r as usual. I just added Tyalieva and flyingmullet to my buddy list.

I wish they could have done more to combat against bots. I honestly don't expect much in new content as they're focused on D3 now, so strengthening and cleaning up the existing game should be a higher priority than adding new rune words and uniques like some many people are whining about.
I'll be using the test realm exclusively.
But after they release the full version, if they don't fix any of the existing bugs, I won't be playing without mycheattest commands.
They didn't add new runewords, they didn't balance any items, they didn't really balance any of the classes (okay, so the Paladin can't damage THREE enemies now, big whoop), they didn't fix TPPK, they didn't want to rededicate servers to DII, which means no bigger stash, they didn't fix bugged damages (Vipers are definitely bugged, even if Blizzard says anything otherwise). All they did was nominal changes, changes that wouldn't even be necessary to revert if they had actually fixed the underlying problem. Gloam's Lightning skill has a chance to score a critical hit, wtf?
Wow. Well when you put it that way... yeah, I guess I'm hoping for more.
Found a Mal Rune. I don't know what to use it for. I'm thinking Prudence in an ethereal 2Os tier 3 armor. It repairs durability.
DISREGARD THAT COUNTESS SUCKS COCKS DROPPED UM AND AMN FOR ME GONNA MAKE STONE KTHXBAI
EDIT: Mulley, if you respec to Axe Mastery, I have an Ettin Axe that I can give you. Otherwise, you can have this tier 2 unique that I found. I also have 2 Bows for your Amazon.

Oooh, I would love that Ettin Axe. I have a Leaping Barb using Axes.
Runemaster, 3Os. The ED is also on the really low end of the scale, but it's better than nothing. I got it for free from a random dude. I also cleared the sockets already with a Hel rune.
Also, I have a magic Ogre Maul that can be crafted, if you so wish for it.
wait, did they improve the rune drop rate of Countess?
She used to only drop up to Lo in Hell, and I don't know which runes they're considering high runes.
Also, unlimited gold is gambler's dream. I'm in heaven! xD
She could actually drop a Zod, because any hell level unique boss had the ability to drop any rune, however, that was assuming she dropped a rune out of her unique boss tier. As the countess, she could only drop up to lo.
I think they improved rune drops across the board, which would affect the Countess' regular rune drops (up to Lo). So far, I've gotten a Pul, an Um, a Mal, and Lem from her, all within 2 days.Originally Posted by Dignified Pauper
High runes, by definition are the runes that cannot drop from Hellforge, which are Vex and higher.
Did they datamine the new drop rates for the higher runes? It'd be laughable if Zod dropped from 0.000012% to 0.000105% or something.
There is no signature here. Move along.
I haven't seen any drop calculators or tables, yet, but it's not like it's very difficult; at the same time, it's not set in stone.
EDIT: No wait, I lied, here's one.

Unfortunately, Maxx, your predicted drop rate increase was a massive 8 times larger than the old drop rate.
