Hi All,
From a quick read of the listed bugs fixed, there's no mention of the Betrayers affix being re-introduced. So I'll assume that it won't ever drop using the bugfix patch.
It is believed that this and a few other rare affixes were removed by the developers for balance reasons. Reasonable assumption. However, the bugfix patch re-introduces items like Hermes Sandal and Revenant items that couldn't drop in the original game. How do we know that these items were not purposefully eliminated for similar balance reasons?
Have you (the bugfix creators) considered re-introducing those rare affixes on the rare chance that their removal was actually a BUG, not a balance fix?
I admit I'm only bringing this up because I really want a Betrayer weapon. For fun!
As an alternative argument ... the balance of the game IS affected by the bugfix because things now work the way they are supposed to. Devs doing balance adjustments were attempting to balance a buggy game. Maybe if the game wasn't buggy, they wouldn't have made those balance changes and may have left these affixes in.
