2.2 Patch Notes

---

   Annihilus 2.2 Changelog:

   • The Worldstone Event has been added. This includes 7 new Bosses with all new Spells and Attacks.

   • The Final Boss of each Act has a chance to drop a colored Worldstone Fragment.

   • The Item Filter system is now customizable! We have a new default filter in place to not hide Organs among other things, but you may hide any item by simply mousing over it and pressing "Delete". You can un-hide it by mousing over it and pressing "Backspace".

   • You can now lock / unlock your cursor to your Diablo II window by pressing Alt + F1.

   • The iconic items "The Grandfather" and "Tyrael's Might" have been buffed. They are quite rare and very popular and their strength did not match their reputation. This will not affecting existing items.

   • Death Spear has had it's Shout Synergy % increased to 14%, up from 10%. It was pretty strong in PvP but not so much in PvM, this will make it better in PvM but did not change much to PvP damage.

   • Death Spear now gains Attack Rating Per level, as it had less chance to hit than a normal Attack.

   • Lowered the HP of all Dreamlands Bosses, but they now have a 50% chance to Evade attacks and spells.

   • Stitches HP has been slightly lowered.

   • Basket of Organs is now on the Gold Vendor for 120 Gold. The basket will contain 3 random Organs (Azathoth's, Cow King's, or Uber Tristram Organs).

   • Infernal Chests no longer have a chance to contain useless items such as Quest items (Horadric Staff, Khalim's Flail, etc) and throwing potions.

   • Infernal Key's cost has been lowered to 75, down from 100.

   • The Cow Queen's Horns (Shako) has had its Life per Magic Find % changed to Vitality per Magic Find %, as it was not actually granting Life due to a bug. This change will apply to existing items.

   • Goka Uln's aura on Clay Golems now properly lowers enemies Magic Resist instead of increasing it. This change will apply to existing items.

   • Manald Heal now properly summons a Solar Creeper when hit. This change will apply to existing items.

   • Fixed an issue where some players could not see the names of the Effect Stones on the Gold Vendor.

   • Fixed an issue where the window would be moved to the center of the screen everytime you leave a game in Windowed mode.

   • Fixed an issue with the launcher where you could get errors when trying to switch to Full Screen mode. We now use 1 file for both Full Screen and Windowed Mode to prevent this, no more file renaming!

   • Fixed an exploit allowing people to teleport to any level in the game by interacting with an object.

   Patch 2.1 Hotfix 2 changes were moved to this patch as well:

   • Othuyeg's Thorns has been replaced by Holy Shock, and now has a 50% chance to cast Level 40 Nova when he is hit.

   • K'nar'st's Ribcage Life / Mana based on time has been replaced with a flat roll of 400-500 Life and Mana. This is not retroactive and unfortunately will not affect existing items.

   • Fixed an issue where R'lyeh and Tristram could sometimes overlap, causing the game R'lyeh was opened in to crash. This also applies to other levels that sometimes overlapped.

   • Sand-Dweller's Firewall skill level has been lowered. It was lasting a little too long!

   • R'lyeh Treants no longer use Vine Attack as it was causing lag. It has been replaced with Poison Nova.

   • Lowered Diablo Clone's physical resistance to 95, down from 100.
