Wow. I wonder if it's just bug fixes for newer systems or if they'll address old bugs like the Fend bug.

Also, mods have ascended beyond the tools and do straight asm edits and dll injection now. It's highly unlikely d2r is going to allow you to do what median xl and to a lesser extent Project Diablo & Path of Diablo have done.
Official word is that DLL injection stuff isn't a goer due to modern Battle.net's increased security, but they're moving a bunch of previously-hardcoded stuff out into data files for modders to play with so hopefully it won't be as big a problem.

The one thing I hope they fix is the framerate. D2 runs at 20 something fps and it really stands out on non-crt monitors. Even when it reports it's running at higher fps it's not really. If they added a way to lock animations to the 20something fps they exist for in classic but render world/screen updates at 120+ fps it'd be amazing and worth $40 alone. Already d2r seems to have issues with contrast, impact, etc compared to the original but it lets you go back to classic graphics so provided they do everything else right it should still be awesome.
Official word is that they're doing just that - gameplay logic still runs at 25fps, but the HD graphics etc. animate at a modern framerate.

 Technical Alpha Info for the remaster

TLDR: Invites to the first public alpha test will be sent out to folks who pre-registered on the website starting 7am PT Friday. The test will run until 10am PT Monday, and will let you play Acts 1 and 2 in single player with the Amazon, Barbarian and Sorceress. Save imports and fully-offline play are disabled for the test, and the FMVs are still the old ones as placeholders. There's no restrictions on video recording or streaming, and there will be more public tests before release.
