The wait is finally over as Blizzard Entertainment has announced the release date of Diablo 2 patch 1.12, also known as the no-cd patch and ladder reset. This highly anticipated update marks a significant milestone in the game's history, offering a range of improvements and bug fixes that fans have been eagerly awaiting.

So, when can players expect to get their hands on this new patch? As of today at 1:30pm EST (-5GMT), the Diablo II patch 1.12 is available for download. For those who are new to the game or haven't followed the updates closely, the patch can be downloaded by logging into the realm.

But what exactly does the 1.12 patch entail? According to Blizzard's notes, this update fixes a range of issues that have been plaguing players. One of the most significant problems addressed is the inability to bind mouse wheel input to skills, which has caused frustration for many gamers.

In addition to this fix, the 1.12 patch also resolves several other bugs and issues. For instance, Assassin traps and Sorceress Hydras will no longer teleport to players after they move a certain distance from where the skill was played or shown. This should greatly improve gameplay for fans of these classes.

Another notable issue that has been fixed is the requirement for premium accounts to play offline. With this update, all players can enjoy the game without being tied to their online status.

The 1.12 patch also marks a new ladder reset, which means that character rankings will be wiped clean and players will have the opportunity to start fresh with their characters. This should provide a welcome challenge for fans of the game who are looking to try out new builds or strategies.

Overall, the Diablo II patch 1.12 is a significant update that offers a range of improvements and bug fixes for both PC and console players. With its release date now set in stone, gamers can look forward to enjoying a more polished and refined gameplay experience. So, what are you waiting for?
