Quote:Well, since you brought it up let's talk a little about that. We're also planning on changing Rift Guardians so that they drop more Blood Shards for each level of Torment past the first (i.e. in Torment II+). For clarity, this means Rift Guardians would drop the same amount of Blood Shards as they currently do in Torment I, but starting in Torment II they would drop additional Blood Shards per each Torment slider tick. This change should arrive at the same time as the Horadric Cache change mentioned previously, which is currently scheduled for our next bug fix/balance patch (patch 2.0.5).*

*Before you crazy hooligans can ask this poor ol’ goatman again, there’s no ETA to share for this patch right now.

Quote:We will be performing maintenance beginning on Tuesday, April 29th at 3:00 AM PDT and we expect the service to be available again at approximately 11:00 AM PDT. During this time the game and many web services will be unavailable.

Thank you for your patience.

• "You have a timer to finish a Rift (kill enough monsters to draw out the boss and slay the boss) and the better you do, the more challenging the level that you get to tackle. For example, if you finished a Tiered Rift in just a few minutes, you’d get to jump ahead to a much harder rift. "
  
• Seasons (Ladders) and Tiered Rifts will be the major features of the 2.1 patch
  
• Seasons will have Leaderboards and Legendary items that drop only within the Seasons games
  
• When a Season ends everything transfers to your normal roster of characters
  
• Tiered Rifts will let you unlocked further Rifts as you beat one, which become progressively harder
  
• There are Leaderboards for Tiered Rifts as well as vanity rewards
  
• The PlayStation 4 version of the game will launch with everything up to patch 2.0.4
  
• Most of the Diablo 3 development team is still on board with Reaper of Souls

MasPan Wrote:[COLOR="#cc8899"]Nearly 70 on my Witch Doctor now, starting a Crusader for something completely different. Looking at some of the support skills Crusaders have and one in particular strikes me as absurdly powerful, so I'm suspicious that I'm missing something:

Judgement (Resolve) states that affected enemies have an 80% higher chance of being hit by a critical. I take this to mean 1.8x, not a flat 80% + whatever the attacker's crit rate is. Even so, given how much a 10% crit chance item can be desired, I have to wonder if there's something I'm missing that wouldn't make this the most amazing party skill ever (nevermind that the enemies would also be immobilized for up to 6 seconds).

Can anyone clarify?[/COLOR]

JoeTang Wrote:It's a flat +80%, so if you have 20% or more, while Judgement is active, you have 100% critical hit rate.

MasPan Wrote:That...sounds...amazing. Stack +crit damage gear for obscenity?

dowie Wrote:Sigh, I prety much have 2 pieces of every helltooth sitting in my storage. I've gotten 5 zunimassa helms. Waiting on shoes or ring to drop so i can use my mask of jeram again. Also gotten kadala to give me every ceremonial knife except Starmetal Kukrui Q_____________Q

If the seasonal legendaries are anything like d2 then they will be pretty good stuff. I wonder if they'll bring in runes at some point in time.

Razmos Wrote:Ooh, I always thought Rare or Legendary gems would be a good idea. It's cool and all having the 5 different varieties and their levels, but some unique gems with unique abilities and stuff would be great, especially if you can put say, a gem that releases a frost nova on hit or something onto an item. or a combination of stats INT + VIT, along those lines.
