Then you will not come

hard for my eyes to play on 4k display

Really now. You can maximize the window in DirectDraw mode to enlarge and scale it to your display. And on top of that, with the Glide Wrapper, you can set the resolution manually according to your needs. And you'll get great UI scaling to boot.
What is the problem exactly?

Could you elaborate on this? I remember the bug where the game crashed when entering the Arreat Summit but that was fixed pretty quickly. Other than that I can't think of any from the last couple patches that "ruined" them. If anything, releasing the patch to the entire community for bug fixing prior to a new ladder would kinda kill what makes them so enjoyable. For me, thats the initial race + new content + balance changes.

There was an invitation two ladders ago for M17 Alpha testers and I'm sure you met all the criteria, so unless you volunteered you shouldn't be complaining. ;-|

Fauzt runes dropping in terror ? Holy paladin melee skill dealing incorrect damage ?

About that last sentence - logic pls. Hope i don't have to give examples for it.

interested in seeing goodberry changes affecting treewarden.

Interested in new area's and uber remakes, not to say, in the new uniques too.

@Aspirine101 (I don't mean just you, I'm just getting fueled by your comment) were you really enjoying playing Treewarden??
I mean, to me it was looking like Thorn strike was such an Overpowered!! skill, to the point that it was feeling like cheating to me and it was taking All the fun away..
PS. I really hope for some dual wielders boost as it was already mentioned by others.

For those asking about dual wield, check my post from some time ago.

Some Druid changes:

but the new features sound amazing!

Rip wat? Just because of Goodberry nerf?

wait what

it says goodberries will be reworked, why do you think they'll be nerfed?

my comment was becuase it's obvious that treewarden damage will be nerfed next patch, cause right now it's insane ;P

kek if berries wil be also nerfed i will be on suicidewatch

I agree, it may not be a nerf.

TBH, I had always hoped that the bonus on goodberries and lifeshield were switched so that you get the defense first, then the life regen. In the early game, mostly when untwinked, getting the first charms, like TA and Butcher for example, feel harder on Druid than other characters do to low defense. Switching the bonuses with one another would really help with that.

to be honest I rather have my old lovely pummel back
i was extremely disappointed by the initial swap from pummel to thorn strike because TS was weak as hell and killed TW, so TS being overpowered was what made me love the new TW. If TS will be reverted to pummel then I actually wouldn't mind at all, but I think that's highly unlikely

Yes I agree, and from sb's screenshot it seems we get lifeshield from ennead now, and something new from BRC

Maybe goodberry + lifeshield from ennead and something completely new from BRC? hmmmm
