Reverted a change made in 1.08 that, while correctly calculated distance, caused unintended gameplay issues.

You can scratch those classic or Carbon URL's of these patches. Mac Classic was for Mac's that ran classic Mac OS 8 and 9 on PowerPC based Mac's while Carbon was an API that allowed most apps that were developed for classic Mac OS 8 and 9 to be re-compiled to run on earlier Mac OS X systems (both PowerPC and Intel based). The Carbon API was fully depreciated as of OS X 10.8 back in 2012. Whenever they release the new OS X installer, it will be for the most current API's; thus why it will require OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and 10.11 (El Capitan). 10:28 AMPosted by Does that mean 10.9 and earlier versions won't be supported or it is an issue that they are fixing? It is probably a conscious decision to not support 10.9 (Mavericks) since later this year, it will end up being 3 versions out of date where Apple stops providing patches beyond security related ones. So part of this is not entirely Blizzard's fault and has everything to do with Apple with their yearly OS upgrade cycle and constantly changing/depreciating API's as well as quickly dropping support for 'older' OS X releases.

It's why I finally just caved and bought myself a Windows gaming rig because the same issue is going to happen with OpenGL (which Apple's version is woefully outdated) versus Metal (which will require supported graphics hardware which is mostly from Mac's manufactured since 2012; I myself have a 2010 6-core Mac Pro running 10.9 but upgrading to a GPU that is Metal compliant would've cost almost as much as my Windows gaming rig (that Mac GPU would've only offered a fraction of the performance of the one in my new system). And I was fairly adamant on not going down that path again of dealing with two platforms; I just got tired of dealing with having to jump through so many hoops with my Mac when it came to games. A bit frustrating since Apple is on such an aggressive upgrade path with hardware and software, but it's a testament to Blizzard that they are making such a great effort to keep their games playable on modern platforms. I'm currently downloading the installer(running painfully slowly, I might add)and look forward to being able to play D2 again, and hopefully, Starcraft will follow soon, as well. Even though I'm enjoying both D3 and SC2, it's still fun to boot up the older games, because even with dated graphics, the gameplay in both games is still solid. I think that's the reason why people still want to play them; At a time when most games eventually just die out, people on Battle.Net still want to play 16-year-old games, and you just can't say that about many games or game companies.

I'm more concerned that Apple, once again, doesn't seem to care much about games on the Mac. OpenGL development is so woefully out of date, and Metal seems to have created more problems than it's solved(no Mac version of 'Overwatch,' Frontier dropping support for 'Elite Dangerous:Horizons' because OS X currently doesn't support compute shaders), so Mac users are again looking at an uncertain future for games. But, hopefully soon, I'll be bashing little pygmy heads in the jungles of Kurast to ease my pain. Cheers, guys. If we play D2 to any reasonable degree, we get locked out of the game due to a too high an activity.

This is a bot protection system but regular players suffer from it the most. I forgot what they call it (in game) but you get banned from the game for several hours up to 24 hours.

It is ridiculous and unwarranted. Not sure what is going to change with this patch. Players have developed a regimen of staying in every game at least 3 minutes before exiting again (as with muling) just to avoid the high-activity ban. This is to reduce the number of games you are joining in every span of time. With current player levels, it is impossible that this play style would put too high a load on servers, so it is likely to say that it is just a measure against botting, or, more likely, the spammers that join public games constantly. But those spammers are there anyway and the players suffer for it.
