看来BN上的一些玩家对于D2的1.13“内容补丁”这一说法有些小误解。玩WoW的不会对这一说法感到陌生,因为暴雪一直在更新与发布WoW的“内容补丁”。不过其实说白了它就是“重要更新”的意思,不单是作出了些小修补,而且会有添加的游戏内容补丁。自然,修复重大bug的补丁也算这种。
Bashiok更加详细的解释了下,而且也说明了为什么还没公布补丁发布时间的原因。对于我来说,知道他们还会为D2做内容补丁已经相当欣慰了。而至于发布时间,我认为那是种奢望。

啊嗯,我想还不能说准确的发布时间。制作这个补丁的时间很紧,且不说我们已经花了许多时间在开发上,测试还要花很多功夫。程序开发就是这样的。
其实这个你们看不看都没所谓,而且我在这个帖子中的话也不会对建议收集版块上那个有72页的主题有什么影响。不过看起来有些人对补丁的说明有误解。有些人以为“内容”二字的意思是我们仅仅是要增加新的关卡或者地牢,不然就不算内容补丁了。实际上并不是这样的。“内容补丁”的意思是这是一个重要的补丁,而不是仅仅做了些小改动的补丁。当然,重要的补丁也会顺带修复些小问题。
其实关于内容和bug方面的想法你们都可以提出。我知道这说法有些模棱两可,但由于我不能向你们保证将会有什么,或者没有什么,所以不好意思了。

Diablo 2 Patch 1.13 ETA and Content
There seems to have been a slight misunderstanding by some fans on Battle.net regarding the term “Content Patch” for Diablo II 1.13. WoW fans know this, as Blizzard is making “Content Patches” all the time for WoW, but the meaning is just that it’s a “major patch, which adds content, not just minor fixes”. It does NOT mean that bug fixes are excluded, naturally.
Bashiok explains this a little bit further, as well as explaining exactly why we won’t hear of any ETA on the patch. As for me personally, I’m just surprised and glad they will make a content patch. ETA would be added luxury that I’d never expect.

Hrm, well I wouldn’t expect an ETA to be given. Development time on this patch is going to be tight, but regardless of how much time is spent on development alone, the testing could toss it back and forth for an indeterminate amount of time. Such is the fact of development and release.
Not that anyone’s going to read this, and not like it makes a difference now to the 72 page thread in the suggestion forum, but it seems the text describing the patch was misunderstood by some. Underlining ‘content’ seemed to give some the impression that we are purely looking for suggestions to add a new act, or a new dungeon, or that there wouldn’t be any changes that one wouldn’t consider ‘content’ such as fixing bugs. That wasn’t the intent. A content patch is simply a description for a patch that is a major release, and not a patch that only makes minor corrections, fixes and tweaks. That doesn’t mean that those corrections, fixes, and tweaks aren’t also what we were looking for though.
The ambiguity therein of what that means specifically to the bugs and content you all have in your noggins makes the head swim, but that’s about as well as I can put it without promising one thing or another.
