I actually was in the same boat as you as I couldn’t find entrance to lvl 3 in Halls of the Dead but after looking carefully, I found the steps to lvl 3. It is very hard to see on the map but they should be there.
I almost missed it too the door is hard to see on the minimap now
They were not supposed to remove this kind of bugs that dont hurt the gameplay. We will all miss those eth bugged st exiles… That gambling part when cubing an eth armor or shield is lost and it was a nice part of the game, i dont like this fix.

One could say it hurts the gameplay as far as making the game too easy.
Anyone remember the dual dream stack bug? It took them a while, but they finally stopped that one. Did it hinder the player? No, well, as long as you werent on the receiving end of it. Did it hurt the gameplay? Absolutely.
I did the dual dream trick one time… Everything died in 1-2 shocks. Even Hell Baal on Players 8.

The eth bug extra defense dindnt matter that much for pvm, in the end any exile is way sufficient to run your ubers really ez. The sad part is that they removed the nex step into perfection of an item. You could have an eth exile 45@ and the massively rare eth bugged exile 45@ wich is the perfection, now that next step is lost and in terms of the itemization it is a big loss.

No, they removed bugging item as it wasnt intended to happen in the first place.
We dont need that bug honestly.
If they thought it was a bug that hurted the gameplay, it could have been removed a long time ago and it didnt. You dont need it, but it is a part of the game, eth bugged armors and shields are rare items with a nice aspect both for trading and for gambling, wich are a big part of the game.

This combined with all the other problems and changes D2R no looking good from my end. I would be surprised if they stick to the Sept 23 release date.

Omg, seriously? There are horrible bugs in game some even bad for performance and they were not fixed to this dsy. So dont give me this nonsense: they would have fix it already. It was fixed but it doesnt mean it should not. It was obviously bug.
Yeah yeah, i want to have more op char so bug making my char is good, i get that. But it doesnt change a think. Bugs are problems in game and fixing them is right way as they are often door fir other exploits.
They removed the zod bug, they could have removed this one also. It is not about op or not, it is about item diversity, about item perfection. We obviously dissagree and i wont try to convince you.

Diversity? So now will people throw away eth items without e bug? We will have same diversity and perfection, just lesser stats, thats all.
You are wrong, one thing is an eth exile and another one an eth bugged exile. To get the first one you just ahve to find an eth one with socs or one clean and go larzuk it, for the second one you have to decide if you want to gamble it to get the holy graal or you just want to keep the safe option and larzuk it, that is a part of the game that gets lost and it makes the game less diverse, this simpyfies the game.

Yes, many many eth items will now be thrown out, that otherwise would have been ebugged.
Ebug was also a means to use up low/mid runes, which now is lost, lowering the usefulness of them.
This change sucks, but as long as this is the only bug in the game, I’ll be fine with it. It makes the game a tiny bit harder, which is good, but it also renders most eth armors useless, which kinda sucks.

Come on thats nonsense and you know it, there is plenty of recipes and runewords using these runes ad gems.
I agree with point that you had to risk more before instead of larzuk, but you are making a lot bigger issue from it than it is.
And a few are lost by getting rid of Ebug, it’s not nonsense at all, it’s fact.
It’s an issue. It’s not as terrible as getting rid of quest bugging bosses, but it’s definitely not a good change imo.

Few? How many of these bug items you do per day? 
It is a massive issue as it removes from the game two of the most iso items and two of the most rare items in the whole game, wich are perfect ebug st and vortex exile 45@. You already had the perfect eth versions of them, wich are way less rare, exactly 3 times less rare (a little bit more that comes from the 4soc perfect dropped).
it wont hurt the gameplay, but it hurts the itemization of the game massively.
“offer pul need talthulptopaz”
You also lost this.

By few I mean the different recipes. Shield, Helm, Armor… those recipes are now a lot less useful.

This is a huge negative development for the game. This was a great feature, might have started off as a bug, but have been embraced by the community as a great feature and should have been threated as such. I thought blizzard was keeping all the good quirks, guess not.

Lol are people seriously complaining that obvious bug was fixed? Lmao.
It wasn’t fixed in D2 because old as hell game is old as hell and has no maintenance.
Get with the times nerds.
