Below is a list of changes in the latest update 2.6.7 for Diablo III. Differences from the version used for PTR testing are marked in red.

Update 2.6.7

Note: Changes will affect all versions of Diablo III - PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC - unless otherwise noted. Please note that only PC and Mac users can participate in the PTR testing.

General

• Greater Rift stones can now be collected automatically.
• A California Consumer Privacy Act notice has been added to the Privacy section of the Settings menu. Details about the California Consumer Privacy Act are provided (console only).

Seasons

• Developer Comment: One of the most common themes that came up in player feedback regarding the buff of Season 18 was that the Will of the Church of Three bonus would sometimes stop working. In Season 19, we changed our approach to developing bonuses and reached a new level: we experimented with new elements of game mechanics, introduced the ability to increase the strength of heroes, and made battles more unpredictable. The gameplay will be somewhat similar to Pandemonium, and players will need to decide whether they want to receive a bonus for a specific kill streak or whether they want to constantly eliminate opponents and maintain the effect. (Most importantly, achieving the maximum killstreak bonus in Greater Rifts, for example, will be challenging.) The rewards for longer killstreaks will be more powerful, and we can't wait to see how players put them to use.
• Added buff for Season 19, Season of Eternal Conflict.
  • Pandemonius
    • Throughout the season, players will receive a stacking effect that extends if the hero deals damage or kills monsters within 5 seconds of each other.
    • Each effect increases movement speed by 0.005 and damage dealt by 0.001%. The maximum increase per 1000 effects increases movement speed and damage by 50% and 100% respectively.
    • Additionally, by completing a certain number of kills in a row, the player will release a special power that deals damage that depends on the hero's level and the difficulty level or Greater Rift level.
      • 15 Kills: Explosive chickens chase and destroy targets.
      • 30 Kills: Large Ice Nova freezes enemies.
      • 50 kills: corpses fall from the sky.

      • 400 kills: Meteorites fall from the sky.
      • 500 kills: Angels come down from Heaven and help you on the battlefield.
        • Angels no longer destroy portal guardians with one hit.
      • 1000 kills: ???
    • Effects are tracked for the entire group as a whole: only one effect can be active at a time, regardless of the number of players in the group.
• Players who complete the entire Season Journey will receive two new rewards: a Portrait of Valor frame and an Angelic Greedy Goblin pet.
• Embrace of Lilith: This exclusive pair of decorative wings will be received by all players who purchase virtual tickets. Long live Lilith! (PC version only.)

Items

• Developer Comment: With Patch 2.6.7, we're starting to introduce new class loadouts for all heroes in Diablo III. In Season of Courage, we'll be focusing on two classes that embody the power of the light and deal that type of damage. We are talking about a crusader and a monk. You will also see the return of old and the emergence of new legendary properties that will go well with the new class sets. We conducted a study among players to find out which skills are least used in current development options. We hope you are as eager to evaluate the new gaming features as we are. Additional class kits will be coming in future updates, so if your class hasn't received new updates yet, don't worry - they're coming soon!
• You'll also notice that there are changes to many Barbarian items in this update. While we'll be adding a new class set for the Barbarian at a later date, we've heeded the war cry of the class's fans and made a number of changes based on extensive player feedback. While not all proposals were created equal, detailed player analysis helped us decide on the changes implemented in the update. Thanks to the players who kindly and constructively shared their thoughts with us. Your help was very useful to us, and we are grateful to you for your thoughtful and well-thought-out suggestions!
• New Crusader Item Set: Aegis of Courage

We decided to take on Fist of the Heavens due to player demand and because we felt the skill had conceptual value and added depth to the gameplay. Certain stats will be adjusted as needed in the future, but overall we're happy to be able to add a kit to the game that many players would love to use!

  • Developer Comment: Thank you for your feedback and participation in testing update 2.6.7 on the PTR! Many Monk fans have asked us to expand the damage reduction options and better integrate Hurricane Swiftness into the class's skill system. We hope that thanks to the changes, players will be able to implement a more tenacious and attractive development option, allowing them to grind hordes of vile demons into dust at the expense of the sacred power of justice.

Yesterday, Activision Blizzard released its next quarterly report to investors. The company talked about its successes in the fourth quarter of 2019, shared bits of information about the current state of affairs and plans for the near future.

Testing of update 2.6.8 for Diablo 3 will begin on February 6th, but the list of changes can be found now. The key features of the patch and the main goal of PTR 2.6.8 are to test the new sets for the Barbarian, Sorcerer and Sorceress, as well as test the new seasonal effect.

Activision Blizzard in an official press release announced the conclusion of a multi-year strategic partnership agreement with Google. The agreement provides for the exclusive right of YouTube to broadcast all e-sports tournaments and events of Activision Blizzard.

Pancho Production continues to release videos about characters important to the plot of Diablo 4. This time we have the story of Rathma, a veteran of the War of Sin from the first generation of nephalem, the son of the demoness Lilith and the angel Inarius.

In light of the imminent release of the PTR 2.6.8 update, the Diablo III developers have published an overview of the upcoming changes. Special attention was paid to the balance of classes in the great portals, gameplay for individuals and groups, as well as various “unusual” mechanics.

A reddit user under the nickname zomprd, who had previously developed modifications, decided to create a web application - a prototype of Diablo 2 Remastered from the resources of the original Diablo 2. Using a neural network, zomprd updates and improves animations, scales the interface and sprites of the game.

Diablo III is celebrating the series' anniversary. In honor of this significant date, the beloved annual event “The Fall of Tristram” has returned to the game, stylized as the first part of Diablo with a special pixel filter.

Since the plot of Diablo 4 will be connected with the events and heroes of ancient times, the Pancho Production project decided to expand our knowledge about the demoness Lilith and the angel Inarius, tell about the creation of Sanctuary and the subsequent War of Sin between Heaven and Hell.

The traditional winter sale has started in the Blizzard Battle.net store. Until January 7, you can purchase most current Blizzard and Activision games with up to 75% discounts, as well as a virtual ticket to BlizzCon 2019, some in-game items, bundles, and add-ons.

The unique effects of the 19th season of “The Eternal Conflict” led to another exploitation of mechanics for the sake of records in the great portals. The problems have already been fixed in the new update 2.6.7b, and violators will have their records removed and punished.

The second part of the article about system design in Diablo 4 from David Kim, lead systems designer, has been released. This time we were told about equipment, the principles of its development, affixes, attack and defense parameters, as well as what will replace the system of ancient legendary items.

The Blizzard Battle.net store has launched its annual Black Friday sale. Until December 2, you can purchase most current Blizzard and Activision games with up to 50% off, as well as a virtual ticket to BlizzCon 2019, some in-game items, bundles, and add-ons.

Players love to scold Blizzard. People generally like to criticize what they love. But Blizzard usually quickly releases patches that make you return to game worlds again and again. I don’t know if this is the secret of popularity WoW, but it is thanks to patches that the public often returns to Diablo 3. Each major update not only removes annoying problems, but also releases a portion of content that you never even dreamed of. And the latest patch 2.1 is a great reason to return to the vastness of Sanctuary.

As one connoisseur wrote on the official Russian channel of the game on YouTube Diablo 3, update 2.1.0 takes nerdiness to a new sporting level. Can not argue with that!

Stairway to glory

The main innovation is seasons. If previously players had to compete with each other (and this is very important for Diablo) using third-party sites, a convenient environment has now been created within the game itself. In Season mode, players start with clean slate: all past experience is not taken into account by the game.

Transmogrification and recoloring allow you to modify your appearance. I advise you to create one so that the character is always visible: when everything around is burning and exploding, it is easy to lose sight of him.

Who will be the first to reach level 70? Who will be the first to knock down the final boss on maximum difficulty? Who will collect more achievement points? The first thousand lucky ones get into the rating tables, and there is a fight for a place in them.

Before the patch, I occasionally came across small flocks of greedy goblins - up to 10 pieces. Nowadays, for some reason, such gatherings do not occur.

The first season was not without its problems - for example, people reached the maximum level three hours after the start of the season, which killed all the intrigue. But those holes that players used for super-fast leveling have already been discovered and repaired, and next season everything will not be so simple.

In addition, players are attracted not only by glory - during the season, special “legendaries” drop out, which are not yet available in a regular game. At the end of the season they will begin to fall out there too.

Stybr is a unique goblin monster: he doesn’t even give change, he just runs away as fast as he can.

By and large, the seasons are not good for the clothes and the competitive element. Something else is important. The game in the early stages is the most emotional: you constantly receive rewards for your actions, and enemies constantly rain down the most useful things. In addition, the characteristics of skills change from patch to patch, so leveling up a character of the same class at the start of sales Reaper of Souls and is now noticeably different. Abilities that were previously useless suddenly become relevant.

But from Westmarch to the southern seas, the army of fetishes is strongest!

For example, now there is a terribly popular reaper-sorcerer build (I’ve already built it before), with which even the maximum difficulty is not terrible. But another reaper is boring, so I decided to “collect” a sorcerer-summoner, instead of whom hordes of his henchmen fight. And I suddenly liked this build even more. If it weren't for the season, would the players dare to experiment like this?

Portal Majesty

How to get pro players to compete with each other? What super task should I set for them? Blizzard came up with the concept Great Portals— dungeons that must be run at speed. This is where the “Steed” skill comes in handy for any crusader! If you destroy a certain number of monsters and the boss within 15 minutes, you will be able to enter a stronger portal. The higher the level of the portal (there are 100 in total), the better the reward. In terms of difficulty, Torment 6 corresponds to approximately 25-30 levels of Great Portals! Naturally, Blizzard has tables with the results of the fastest passage of the most brutal portals.

The portal guardian is almost defeated, now the main thing is not to get hit by a rockfall.

Another innovation associated with portals is legendary gems. Each of these stones (there are 14 of them so far; can only be inserted into rings and amulets) has a unique property that can be developed. But there is a catch: after passing the Great Portal, you can either open access to the next one or improve the stone.

At level 25, the gem gains an additional property that turns such stones into perhaps the most powerful items in the game. And, most importantly, they fit perfectly into a variety of builds, making them even more effective.

The choice is difficult. But, in any case, improvements to gems depend on the level of the portal, so it is always beneficial to advance further.

And, of course, the Great Portals are rich in legendary clothes and bloody shards needed for powerful legendary sets. Where would we be without this?

Goblin World

Most of the description of patch 2.1 is devoted to changes to class characters and various set sets. Now each class has the opportunity to assemble builds for types of damage (fire, cold, lightning, poison, etc.) and increase damage by 15-30% due to clothing. Previously, this system was the privilege of wizards and worked on other characters only by accident. Now each class has “favorite” types of damage and combinations of skills for them.

A separate topic is the changes in monks: this class again began to shine not only as a “tank” and a source of buffs for the team, but also as a full-fledged slap-maker. Now I want to play as monks, and not just take them into the party for reasons of “I’ll support my comrades with prayer.”

After killing a goblin, a portal opens to his home world. One of the main innovations!

Well, the highlight of the program was the introduction of the world of greedy goblins. Now, when killing greedy dwarfs, there is a chance (about 1%) that the portal through which the shorties full of trophies are trying to dump into their native dimension will remain open. And inside there are mountains of gold and precious stones and a meeting with Baroness Greed, mistress of the goblins. Personally, I have not been as delighted as this location by any other place in Diablo 3. In addition to the unique gem and legendaries that fall from the Baroness, you take away about 20 million gold from there...

We enter the world of goblins and wake up the Baroness!

This chest also makes a funny click when you click on it. Try it!

Finally getting the attention it deserves legendary ring Hellfire. Firstly, the ingredients for it now drop out to the whole group or to no one at once. Secondly, from them you can assemble not only a ring - the use of it is now doubtful - but also the extremely useful “Amulet of Hellfire”, one of the properties of which is a random passive skill for the corresponding class. That is, if it falls out required property, the character will have five passive skills instead of four.

As a nice addition, there is a rainbow goblin, after killing which a portal opens to the miracle valley, a smaller version of the miracle country.

* * *

Diablo 3 does not get tired of “pumping up” and does it like a good online game. Each patch not only corrects errors, but also introduces something new to the game.

Patch 2.1 is that rare case when the developers tried to take care of every player, regardless of why they bought the game. Even if you've already played enough Reaper of Souls- this is the perfect excuse to play some more.
