Long time coming! This new update for Annihilus not only brings several much needed fixes, but some new content for you guys as well.
Annihilus 1.12 Changelog:
• Fixed a nasty exploit that allowed people to drop the game server with a single action. The crashing every few minutes is finally gone! (Note they may or may not try attacking with other methods instead, we are well equipped to stop just about everything now though!)
• Voting will no longer not give Gold sometimes. Voting will always reset exactly 24 hours from your last 3 votes. Let's get back #1!
• Activity Gold reward removed, we bundled it in with the voting instead as you clearly have to be active to vote. Voting now gives 20 Gold per vote, up to 60 Gold per day.
• New high level content has been added. The 3 special Inferno zones found throughout Act 5 in the red portals now have all new Inferno difficulty monsters. They can drop anything in the game, along with a new yet rare drop, the Infernal Chest (Hell Mode only). The Infernal Chest is opened by cubing with an Infernal Key, found at the Gold Vendor for 150 Gold. The chest will have 1 Weapon, 1 Armor, and either a ring, amulet, or rune. The item will spawn Unique if its possible, so you can get any unique in these chests, including the highest level, such as Tyraels and Constricting Ring. The only unique that cannot drop is a new unique that can only drop from a specific monster in the Inferno Portals. It has a 1/5000 chance in dropping. Good luck!
• Cubing multiple runes together to upgrade them no longer requires a gem, for example 2 Guls = Vex.
• Heart of the Shadow runeword has been modified. It now gives +3 assassin skills now instead of 2, lifesteal has been removed, and 45 ias has been added. To compensate owners of the old version, we will give anybody who turns one in to me an Orb of Alchemy to make a new one, unless you want to keep the old one as a souvenir.
• All throwing weapons now stack up to 300, and should spawn at 300 quantity.
• Fixed a bug where when someone tries to spectate a spectator, it would send the "You cannot watch a spectator!" message to the spectator instead of the person trying to spectate them.
• Annihilus Launcher can now be minimized.
That is everything! When opening Annihilus Launcher it will update to 1.12 for you automatically, just be sure you have all copies of Diablo II closed. If you want to install it manually you can download the full installer on the Download Annihilus page, found at the top of the website. Please PM me any bugs you may find, or if you have any questions, comments, or concerns! Thanks to sonix for the Infernal Chest image!
