The following is the beta version of our Diablo II 1.10 patch text. Due to the size of the 1.10 patch, this list is not complete, and it may contain a number of errors. Corrections to this list will be made as errors are reported by beta testers and confirmed by Blizzard staff.

Thank you for helping beta test the Diablo II 1.10 patch. This has been our most successful event on the Battle.net forums; we read and value your feedback and help very much. We know you're very excited about seeing patch 1.10 live on the Diablo II realms, and we're working to make that happen as soon as possible.

1. Increased difficulty for high-level players to reduce future exploitation of the game system

Made monsters tougher

• Beefed up monster difficulty in Act V, Nightmare, and Hell difficulties. This was accomplished by improving monster stats (hp, defense, etc.) and by boosting their AI/behavior in NM and Hell difficulties (that is, by making decisions more often and by simply moving faster).
• In Nightmare and Hell difficulties monster damages have generally been increased -- dramatically in some cases.

Reduced the effectiveness of Experience runs, power-leveling, and leeching

• Added randomized (especially ranged-attack) monsters to Act V -- e.g., Burning Dead, Imps, etc.
• Reduced the Experience attached to all Act V monsters in Normal, Nightmare, & Hell difficulties.
• Reduced the HP of (Act V) Barbarian soldiers in Nightmare and Hell difficulties.
• Increased the rate of occurrence of Unique monsters in Hell difficulty.
• Reduced the party member Experience sharing to 0 beyond a maximum distance of about 2 screens from the monster death. This prevents low-level characters from joining a party and then staying completely out of harm’s way while still getting Experience.

Increased the Experience penalty for Clvl 70+ as follows:

• Clvl 1 -- 69: 100% Experience
• Clvl 70 -- 99: 95% -- 0.49% Experience (approximately exponential decaying)

• Reduced drops from the most-run SuperUnique monsters, ThreshSocket and Pindleskin.
• Cut Experience and reduced drops in the Cow level.
• Randomized the monster populations more thoroughly throughout Act V in Nightmare and Hell difficulties, including the addition of ‘guest monsters’ from other Acts.
• Increased the number of Unique monsters in each area and difficulty.

• Improved the attributes for newly-dropped (post 1.10) Rare Armor, Helms, and most Weapons.
• Added over 100 new Elite Unique Items, of which 29 can be found only in Ladder games.
