Patch Features

New Feature: Banner System

As is is until now, the banner allocates only a ping on the minimap and has no further ingame uses wasting a lot of its potential.

The priest of Ivgorod have blessed the the holy banners of all the noble warriors of Sanctuary with special powers that reflect their carriers prowess and worldly wisdom boosting allies' courage and resilience and bestowing the power of summoning on it.

A placed banner now allows a player to portal right onto the banner instead of the corresponding character. This will allow to portal to a location outside of melee combat for example or spawn in a safe zone with its owners heavily immersed in action. This option is available from the start

Each character is now able to create 4 different game affecting banners that are being saved with that character and do not transfer to other characters. Those banners will give specific benefits to all allies in an area of 18 yards for the duration of 6 seconds. The first of these banners will be unlocked with paragon level 1, the next at paragon level 25, 50 and 75. The cooldown for these banners will be 120 seconds and can not be reduced by items or skills.

The effectiveness of these banners is dependent on the % of acquired achievements.

The Blessing of Thunder
+5% lightning and arcane damage
+15% total damage
+20% dodge
+2.5% life steal

.

The Blessing of Light
+5% fire and holy damage
+20% all resistances
+600 life per second
+10.000 life (heal)

.

The Curse of the Fallen
+10% cold damage
+20% armor
-20% Damage to enemies
-20% attack speed to enemies
-40% movement speed to enemies

.

The Blessing of the Wind
+ 10% poison damage
+15% attack speed
+50% crowd control reduction
+50% resource regeneration

.
Players are able to choose which to unlock. Each player will be able to decorate each of the 4 banners differently for each character. Only one banner can be chosen before entering a game. Changing a banner has the same influence as changing a skill. If the area of effect of two banners overlaps, only the values of the last banner placed will have effect.

General

Monster mobs are arranged in a more challenging way now. Groups consist now of soldier, blocker, healer and summoner type monsters with an increased AI

Monster density has been increased to allow for more balanced monster hunting throughout all acts

It is now possible to use waypoints to all previous areas that are unlocked by quests and acts allowing travel between areas of different acts

Added more randomization to all areas

Added more random dungeons or sublevels to all areas

Added more random micro events spawning champions, unique or rare elite

Added 2 more main areas to act 4

Experience for miniquests and ingame achievements is increased to compete with normal mob farming

Books will give increased experience throughout the difficulties and can be picked up 4 times (once in each difficulty). Some people like to gain experience by actually learning something about the world, who are we to argue

Added more lore books

Primary weapon damage is now calculated only by base weapon damage, min-max damage and % damage as used in and for many melee related attacks and skills

Additional damage on weapons not only affect the weapon type and enhanced the base damage, but is always dealt as independent damage regardless of skill effects, attaching itself to each attack and adding the desired slow, burning, poisoned, shocked, etc. effect

Casting and attack animations now always use (show) the weapon equipped

'Share Gold' option will now be available for group play allowing shared gold drops and pickup. gold will then drop in an increased amount by the total groups +%goldfind bonus and then automatically allocated to all players depending on their +%gf bonus at pickup

Tyrael will now identify items after escaping from the Butchers dungeon. He will take 10 Gold for each rare item and 1500 gold for each legendary to identify. As we know from reality, god needs money, and so do 'fallen' angels

Added a second 'color' option to items making it possible to alter the base tier look of an item to another tier, for example making an archon helm, look like a leather cap or leather boots like chain boots. Normal coloring will still be possible

Second 'backhand' weapon slot 'w' has been added allowing for different weapon and skill setups to improve ingame action, built diversity and enable quick adaption to different situations. Switching fades out all skills for 2 seconds like being frozen does

Added the option to swap skills with your f-keys to your right or left mouse button. We still don't know why the most innovative feature of Diablo 2 got lost and did not make it into its successor

Increased the active skill slots to 12 (from 6) and reallocating them to the f-keys. Only 10 can be used for skills, 11 and 12 a reserved for 'place banner' and 'town portal'. Basic attacks do not count against skill allocations to keys
This is done to create more viable builds with a fun character and and extravagance flair without the most expensive gear in SC and HC. This way we allow players to add one or more fun skills for more enjoyment or for more specialized situations. We don't feel that we are going to offer players more exploits to create overpowered chars (those who desire to do so already are) we rather want to encourage those players who are at the moment sacrificing fun for survivability or effectiveness due to lacking 'high end' gear to be able to play as they wish or have to play solo, because they are not 'well enough' equipped to play with 'luckier' friends. This way we can guarantee them to continue having fun by offering more options and tweaks with lesser gear and adding the feel to their char that has been missing due to the restricted selection.

Added another potion slot

Added friendly fire to environmental objects like falling blocks, crumbling walls, exploding barrels etc.. Life loss is base on % actual life and can never kill a player - but learn to beware

.
Battle.net

Public game creators will now be able to name their games, but be restricted to create one such game only every 10 minutes

Graphic effects have been reduced to allow 6 player into one game

Chat rooms/channels are now available for friends to meet, you are even able to password protect them

Added /f command to whisper to all friends in the friend list at once, dearly missed for welcomes and goodbyes as well as general questions and calls to arms

Weapon damage increased from 100% to 120% and the chance from 40% to 50%

.
Passive Skills

Arcane Dynamo

Also adds +10% to arcane skill damage

Blur

Also adds +10% movement speed

Cold Blooded

Also adds 20% to cold skill damage

Crafting

Enabled the Jeweler to craft target gems in one go without manually upgrading lower level gems first, skipping all steps in between for the complete amount of ingredients and gold

Upgrade costs in gold for gems above flawless square are halved for the hardcore community

Crafting costs in gold for all crafts are halved for the hardcore community

Upped all base stats for level < 60 crafts

All level 59+ crafts can roll item level 63 stats

All crafts have the option to choose 2 stats and exclude 6 stats for an extra of 20% gold and resource costs

Class specific stats can no longer roll on common items unless 'checked' for

Further crafting rules will be applied, similar to these suggestion:

Items

+% elemental damage will no longer effect non elemental or primary weapon damage

Added minimum stat roll to all items to 33% of max possible stat once rolled for the item

Added the possibility for a second resist on items. Single resist will roll to max 60%, a double roll (counting still as one roll) will be max 45%

Class-specific items get an extra roll minimizing loss of common stats to character specific attributes, which are lowering the values of those items until this moment

With the new min-max vs elemental weapon fix, most weapon damage values are lowered and balanced out to lower level weapons, making a transfer from level ilev 50 to ilev 63 smoother and lower level weapons less worthless and 50+ legendary more useful

Requirement reducing affixes are capped at -10

Added another potion type, that increases life regeneration over time

Added the stat 'piercing' to some legendary items increasing or giving the chance for projectiles to pierce enemies and hit further targets

Adjusted a lot of Legendaries to the new system

Fixed a few set boni, e.g. Tal Rasha's set boni to Intelligence, +% elemental damage and damage reduction; Inna's Set 2nd set bonus to from 0.33 to 3.3 Spirit generation, added an extra single resistance base roll to all armor set items and a socket to the weapon and more

Weapon Fix:

.
http://eu.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6525032503#3

Off hand stats as well as weapon stats for topazes will be changed to offer more diversity and tweaks for faster builds with lower damage, life steal options, combat resistance and fix the unusable 'attacker takes damage' attribute

Amethyst - off hand: Reduces resistance to melee attacks by 1% (chipped) to 10% (marquise)

Emerald - off-hand: Reduces damage from ranged attacks by 1% (chipped) to 10% (marquise)

Ruby - off hand: Melee attackers take 2 (chipped) to 680 (marquise) damage per hit. Damage is increased by strength and dexterity damage multiplier

Topaz - off hand: Ranged attackers take 2 (chipped) to 680 (marquise) damage per hit. Damage is increased by dexterity and intelligence damage multiplier

Topaz - weapon: Increases attack speed by 1% (chipped) to 16% (marquise) and adds +1% (chipped) to 3% (marquise) life steal

.
Monsters

Monsters now have high resistances to certain damage types. The main and first resistance is always fix to the monster type/class, the last will be random
In normal elite packs will have 35% absorb to a single damage type and 20% to two other damage types.
In nightmare all normal monsters will have the same absorb as elite in normal, all elites will have 50% absorb to a single damage type and 25% to two other damage types continuing in hell with changed to 75%/50% and in In Inferno to 85%/50%

Base monster life will be reduced by 20% due to the 'black' weapon fix and implementation of resistances

.
Elite

All elite packs gain life regeneration of 0.5% maximum life per second

Attack speed of elites will no longer affect the cast rate of affix powers

Monster skills and stats do no longer amplify each other if they are of the same damage type

Elite monsters (elite rare, champions and unique) will have their affixes edited and gain certain immunities related to their affixes

Arcane - Lays Arcane Mines, like the Wizards Arcane Torrent Rune, which are spammed like Frozen crystals

Avenger - gains 'Cannot be Feared'

Extra Health - unchanged

Fast - gains 'Cannot be Slowed'. Fast affix does no longer affect the cast rate of affix powers

Fire Chain - gains 'Cannot be Immolated' (take fire damage over time)

Frozen - gains 'Cannot be Frozen' - champions no longer spawn asynchronic, only the leader (unrecognizable to players) has the affix. 'Leader' marker jumps to next champion after being killed

Health Link - gains 'Cannot be Leeched from' (no life on hit)

Illusionist - Illusions have their own life, which is no longer subtracted from the original. Fixed an issue where the Illusions of Blood Clan Sorcerers were able to shield other monsters

Jailer - gains 'Cannot be Charmed/Confused'

Missile Dampening - Reduced incoming ranged damage by 20%

Molten - gains 'Cannot be Immolated' (take fire damage over time)

Mortar - affix will be fixed like it was in 1.05, in the way that they can't hit closer then 12 yards of casters location, no matter how close to a wall, other object or target he is

Plague - gains 'Cannot be Poisoned' (take poison damage over time)

Reflect - gains 'Cannot be Leeched from' (no life steal). Fixed all issues where automated, summoned or non-direct attacks would reflect damage like Storm Armor, Hyrda, Followers, Meteor, Minions etc. to the character

Shielding - remains technically unchanged, might be called 'Shift' and visually changed from a shield to becoming translucent

Teleport - is less often triggered but gives 30% melee damage absorb for 1 sec after having teleported

Waller - Walls from champions elites will always leave a gab between them preventing imprisonment in tight areas

.
Bosses

All bossfights will start very dark and increase in illumination equivalent to the damage dealt to the bosses showing the effect which the great evil have upon the light. And when they diminish so will the darkness

Added environmental objects to bossfights, that may either help or hinder the fight making it more challenging or giving a tactical advantage

Each bosses first kill will now guarantee a legendary drop in each difficulty. First kill counters will be reset once the patch goes live

The fight against The Butcher is now much darker and in 2 phases

Belials 2nd phase is more challenging and darker, as is the 3rd

Amzomdans fight will now consist of 3 phases and be more challenging and darker

The warden in act 4 now has a chance to drop a random key

Diablo will now spawn 3 phantoms in the Realm of Terror in a single game and 2 phantoms in a party game. Additional shadow creatures and terror demons will spawn in the 2nd and 3rd phase

.
User Interface

Added 'Damage' value to the main character window for base damage min-max without critical chance or speed boni, which is used for almost all skills offering a better chance to understand its influence and allow a more efficient overview to tinker with new builds

Added 'Critical Damage' value to the main character window to show the actual min-max damage dealt when an opponent is critically hit

Added an averaged resistance value to the main character window. The detailed view will only show the % absorb from now on as it does with armor. Mouse-over the absorb will show the flat value. Done to add consistency

Added more buff timers and arranged buffs to the left, debuffs to the right and shrine buffs to the center facing right. this allows for 7 buff, 3 shines and 3 debuff total

.
Options

Added a transparency bar for graphic effects (current state = 100%)

Added a saturation color bar (current state = 100%)

Added an option to turn off plasma effects (gates, fires at Rakkis Crossing, flying fireballs etc.)

Added option 'Normal', 'Reduced' and 'None' to all visual skill effects. Character animations will be the same, all extra effects will either be normal, reduced in size and visual intensity or none existent at all delivering the game the realism you decide to have

Adding menu options to turn off the minimap, chat menu and character icons, hotkeys have been added to give quick access if needed

FYI - These changes require M$ in dev costs. The product managers will not approve it. These chages will not see the light of day even if they were a boxed expansion worth $30-$40.

Do you have to suggest anything CHEAPER and effective? Activision is poor, and can't afford to fix D3 by spending M$.

If you had CHEAPER and more effective suggestions you would be a game designer, and your changes would be *REAL* patch notes, in a game instead of this PI-In-the-sky forum post.

Please I beg you, WAKE UP.

Changed to: Your resistance to all elements is equal to your second highest resistance

This one is SO stupid man. How could I even do that? Add +295 to fire ress, and 294 to cold and I will have 294? This is stupid solution.
I got a better one: Add + 25% of armour into OwE
Pacifism: boost your ress(all)for 50%(+ the old effects)
And now you will have 2 skills to choose(We will have the same almost the same ress from these two skills but we will have to choose between armour and damage reduction during stun etc).

@ gnosis: Ah, genius, haven't thought about that, patch 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1.04, 1.05, 1.06 and now 1.07 fell from the sky, costing now money and time or any effort at all, how could I not see this. You are so right, I better delete this post and except the awesomeness of a mediocre game.

@ Burbon: Making choices is so, how can I say this ... dough, my bad.

It is meant to fix the OP of OwE and it does very nicely, you have to focus on 2 resistances instead of only one, while other classes have to focus on all 6, really a bad nerf and so unfair for the monks. Also considering that single res can roll twice on items, a very silly idea, I am really sorry to have ruined all monks °°

The skill changes you describe are so powerful, that they will result in must-have choices and are worse then OwE is at the moment. +% to armor is one of the strongest attributes in the game, because it is so difficult to accumulate for all classes except Barb - and there is a reason why Energy Armors and Warcires +% resist bonus was lowered way below 50%.

And you should notice that I haven't touched those, even though I miss them badly In HC and has lowered my survivability so far, that i can't play beyond mp0 at the moment with my chars which dropped from my main chars to 3rd grad fun chars. This is not about my personal taste or favorite class or skill, this is about objective balance and build diversity, stop with your my monk, my build, ruin all ... silly, stupid, selfish and dumb. Look beyond your own desires if you want to argue, otherwise keep away and enjoy the result of other peoples work (or missing work).

Dude, I don't care about other classes. Wizz got his barrier, DH is DH(NOT MELEE FIGHTER like monk), barb got highest armour and medium ress so what is the problem?

What does Microsoft have to do with diablo 3 dev costs? And how do you spend "Microsoft"?

@ Izzo: You're trolling right ? I am sure he meant millions of dollars, not Microsoft. Could you please edit your post, leads away from the thread discussion. ;) Thx.

wow, its nice, some things are good some things arent. but to sum up - its great work. i doubt that theese fixes that youre suggesting will all be aproved, but the devs should consider to "use" some of your ideas in future patches :)

P.S. Nice job, keep it going :)

Thx, though I am rather curious about the things you consider not so good, there is always room to improve or others peoples point of view and experience to consider.

Some things were clear way before release, some are months old, others just surfaced recently, a lot are my experiences, most are common discussion issues and many are from the forum and based on ideas and concepts of other involved players.

Author, seriously, get a life ^^

You seem to have forgotten that Blizzard have said, time and again, that if they touch this passive, they will do it in a way that does not invalidate the monk's gear. This solution would do just that, and would in effect cause 90% of the monk community to rage-quit, independent of any other changes they do.

All other classes have skills (passive and active) that raises resistances substantially. WD and Wiz gets a lot from their main stat as well. OwE in its current for is not in any way or form OP as it is now.

stop doing stupid topics with your dreams. This dont change anything because devs dont change anything.

AMEN!
