 Post-BlizzCon

• Campaign and Adventure Modes
  
• Campaign mode is the basic story mode
  
• Adventure Mode enables access to all acts and waypoints immediately
  
• In each Adventure Mode game, there are 25 bounties, five in each act
  
• Bounties require you to kill a named unique, complete an event, defeat a boss, etc. Reward is similar to quests, EXP and Gold
  
• Completing all bounties in an Act currently awards a Nephalem Key
  
• Difficulty system revamped
  
• The difficulty system is similar to the Console's Master levels
  
• Depending on the build, they are either named Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, Torment or Easy, Normal, Hard, Torment, Demonic, Apocalypse
  
• Monsters appear to scale to your character level (may be exclusive to Adventure mode)
  
• Nephalem Rifts
  
• Requires a Nephalem Key
  
• Accessed from any town in Adventure Mode only
  
• Completely randomised dungeon with random map layout, tile set, and monsters
  
• Kill x% of the monsters on the floor and the boss is summoned at your location
  
• Super Shrines inside that provide ridiculous buffs for 30 seconds
  
• High chance of Legendary reward at end
  
• Items
  
• (Highest tier) Legendaries are all soulbound
  
• Soulbound legendaries are tradeable within two hours of dropping in a multiplayer game
  
• Depending on feedback, this is probably the most tentative thing shown so far
  
• From what the interviews have said, Legendaries can only scale up, not down in level?
  
• Stats are divided into Primary and Secondary stats, i.e. offense and defensive/adventuring stats
  
• Enchanting cannot change a secondary stat (i.e. GF/MF/Pickup etc) for a Primary Stat (i.e. Damage, Crit Damage, Main Stat)
  
• Rares can roll skill bonuses in different slots it appears
  
• Clans
  
• Clan support added
  
• Clan roster UI, with message board/chat, and characters models shown similar to D2
  
• New Skills
  
• Barbarian - Avalanche: Large AoE DoT field (?), 30 second cooldown, reduces cooldown the more fury you spend
  
• Demon Hunter - Vengeance: high cooldown low duration (like Archon) every attack shoots bonus lasers and rockets
  
• Monk - Epiphany: high cooldown low duration (like Archon), every melee attack teleports you to your target
  
• Witch Doctor - Piranhas: Small AoE DoT field with +damage% debuff
  
• Wizard - Black Hole: Large AoE pull, 8 second cooldown
  
• Ladder is not confirmed
  

It has been confirmed that any system changes (loot, paragon) will be available as a free patch to D3C. Presumably, they intend to have a Ladder system implemented as that's a highly desired option.
