Seasons

Developer comment: One of the most common themes that came up in player feedback regarding Season 18's buff was that the Will of the Church of the Three perk was sometimes broken. In Season 19, we changed our approach to developing bonuses and took it to the next level: we experimented with new elements of game mechanics, introduced the possibility of increasing the power of heroes, and made fights more unpredictable. The gameplay will be somewhat similar to Pandemonius, and players will need to decide if they want to get a bonus for a specific kill streak or if they want to constantly destroy opponents and keep the effect going. (Most importantly, realizing the ultimate kill streak bonus in Greater Rifts, for example, will be tricky.) The rewards for longer kill streaks are getting more powerful, and we can't wait to see how players can put them to good use.
Added buff for Season 19, Season of Eternal Confrontation.
- Pandemonius
  - Players will have a cumulative effect throughout the season that will last longer 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 stacks increases movement speed and damage by 50% and 100%, respectively.
  - In addition, after making a certain number of kills in a row, the player releases a special power that deals damage, which depends on the level of the hero and the level of difficulty or the level of the great portal.
    - 15 Kills: Explosive chickens stalk and destroy targets.
    - 30 Kills: A large Ice Nova freezes enemies.
    - 50 Kills: Corpses fall from the sky.
    - 100 kills: the hero creates five huge energy vortices.
    - 150 Kills: Dark Geysers form under the feet of enemies.
    - 200 Kills: Treasure chests fall from the sky.
    - 300 Kills: Ring of Fire sets everything in the area on fire.
    - 400 kills: Meteorites fall from the sky.
    - 500 Kills: Angels descend from Heaven and help you on the battlefield.
      - Angels no longer destroy Portal Guardians in 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 Season Journey will receive two new rewards: the Portrait of Valor frame and the Angelic Greedy Goblin (pet).
Embrace Lilith: This exclusive pair of decorative wings will be given to all players who purchase virtual tickets. Long live Lilith! (Only in the PC version.)

Items

Developer comment: In Update 2.6.7, we're starting to introduce new class sets for all heroes in Diablo III. In Season of Courage, we'll be focusing on two classes that embody the power of light and deal their respective damage types. We are talking about a crusader and a monk. You'll also see the return of old and new Legendary modifiers that will pair well with the new class sets. We conducted a survey among players to find out which skills are least used in current development options. We hope you want to evaluate new gaming features as much as we do. Additional class sets will appear in future updates, so if your class hasn't received updates yet, don't worry - they will definitely appear!
You will also notice that a lot of barbarian items have been changed in this update. While we'll be adding a new class set for the Barbarian at a later date, we've heard the war cry of the Barbarian fan base and made a number of changes based on extensive player feedback. While not all offers were created equal, a detailed analysis of the players 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
- 2-Piece Set Bonus: Electrocuting Arrows from Hand of Heaven have a chance to cause Hand of Heaven to be cast again. Hand of Heaven attacks empower the Crusader, increasing the damage of Heaven's Fury by 100% for 5 seconds. No more than 3 of these effects can be applied at the same time, while their indicators are multiplied.
- 4-Piece Set Bonus: On hit with Hand of Heaven replenishes 5 units. anger and reduces damage taken by 1% for 5 seconds. The effect stacks up to 50 times.
- 6-Piece Bonus: Increases Hand of Heaven damage and Heaven's Fury by 10,000% 20,000%.
- Developer comment: Thank you for your feedback and for participating in PTR update 2.6.7 testing! We decided to tackle Heaven's Hand because of the players' requests and because we feel it has conceptual value and adds depth to the gameplay. Certain stats will be adjusted in the future as needed, but overall we're happy to be able to add a bundle to the game that many players would love to use!
New Monk Item Set: Standard of Justice
- 2-Piece Bonus: Slashing Wind gains the effects of all runes and the hero's movement speed is increased by 5% per stack of Slashing Wind.
- Bonus from four items from the set: Each enemy in Slashing Wind increases your movement speed by 5%. The effect stacks up to 10 times. Hitting enemies with Hurricane's Rush reduces damage taken by 50% and increases Spirit regeneration by 50. in sec.
- 6-Piece Bonus: Attacking with Hurricane Swiftness while hitting a target more than 30 times in a short amount of time while Slashing Wind is active will temporarily increase the area of effect. Slashing Wind damage is also increased by 10,000% 15,000%.
- Developer comment: Thank you for your feedback and for participating in PTR update 2.6.7 testing! Many Monk fans have asked for more damage reduction options and better integration of Hurricane Rush into the class's skill system. We hope that these changes will allow players to implement a more resilient and attractive development option that allows them to grind hordes of vile demons into dust at the expense of the sacred power of justice.
- Hand of Heaven has a 100% chance to trigger twice.
- Increases the damage dealt by Hand of Heaven by .
- New legendary property: When Slashing Wind hits only one enemy, its damage is increased by 100%.
- Developer comment: Due to changes to the Standard of Justice set, this item is no longer needed. We've removed it for now, but perhaps it will appear in the future (or get another legendary property).
- Whipping Wind can stack up to 6-7 10 times.
- Additional legendary property: Slashing Wind damage is increased by 250-300% 600-800%.
- New legendary property: Hitting enemies with Hurricane Rush will trigger Hurricane Strike, with both skills dealing 500-600% more damage.
- Decreased the damage bonus of Shattering Wave that increases with attack speed.

Rejoice noobs and nerds, mages and tanks, fans and cheaters - Diablo 3 update 1.0.7a has been released for the European region.

Attention! Download add-on 1.0.7a only after the release in your region. If you have an Asian or US version of the client, please wait until it appears for your region. If you have a European region, then you will not be able to play on other servers.

Change in classes:

Fixed bugs with the Sundering Stream spell cast while in Archon form, and fixed Frost Ray, Meteorite, Energy Whirl, and Sunder which allowed twice the amount of magical energy to be restored during critical hits.

Satellites:

Fixed errors when using the "Focus" skill by the caster, and no longer causes an error.

Fixed an issue where players were unable to proceed further in the quest when other players entered or left the game during the "An Audience with the Emperor: Speak to Ashira at Caldeum Gate" stages.
Fixed issues that caused the game to end incorrectly (crash).
The player will no longer die from damage over time after being moved out of the Burnt Chapel Ruins.
Brutal and Assault Beasts no longer reflect damage dealt by pets or minions.

What to expect in the next update:

Duel between players.

Now, who wants to test the power in battle with the rest of the Nephalem, there will be such a wonderful opportunity! A new zone has been added to the world of Diablo 3, in which any player can challenge others. This zone is intended exclusively for duels. After talking with Nek Brawler, who is located in the New Tristram tavern, you can get to this location. Each battle will be in the "every man for himself" format, and players in the amount of 2 to 4 will be able to participate in the battles.
The effects of Nephalem Valor will not be removed when transitioning to different acts.
The automatic pickup radius of health and gold orbs has been increased to 3 meters for all players.
The time required for character resurrections will no longer increase if characters die multiple times in a row.
Increased the amount of experience that the player receives depending on the strength and level of monsters on Inferno difficulty.
Players will now spawn in the city after logging in, instead of at their last save points (you can teleport to the last save location using the portal).

When canceling items that are associated with the PayPal system, an error message will appear.
Stash compartment icons will now display correctly when refreshed and viewed in the Auction HUD.

In the open game, it will be possible to set the power level of the surrounding monsters, in the drop-down box that will appear when players join the open game.
Adding a "Report Bot" feature.
In the user interface, the function of displaying information is connected: how many players are online

A new material, Demonic Essence, will be added to the game.
New content is tied to the player's account. They can be obtained from bosses and monsters on Inferno difficulty. It also has a small chance for the player to receive it at the end of the events, and the player is affected by the Nephalem Valor effect.

This is not an exhaustive list, and none of the options is final. This is a quick look from the developers at the tasks related to the game that need to be solved at the moment. Let's hope that the information provided will go into the game and add more balance and convenience to the players. In the end, almost all the ideas that developers are currently working on have come into being thanks to the players.

Nephalem, not long to wait! The first Reaper of Souls update is on its way, and we are now preparing to open a test game world so that you can evaluate all the changes in practice. Soon you will be able to bite into the novelties with a crunch! And today we will briefly talk about all the important changes so that you know what awaits you in the test world.
Please note: This is a preview. It may not fully cover the changes that will appear in the 2.1.0 update, and the features we are talking about may change during testing and further development. Some of the illustrations show parts of the game in development and may differ from the final version.
Table of contents

Seasons

As with Diablo II, players will now periodically have the option to restart the game by returning their characters and artisans to the first level. Participation in seasons is rewarded with exclusive rewards and unique legendary items that appear in each new season. Plus, once you start climbing the new leaderboards, you'll quickly get the hang of it and be tempted to face off against other players in conquest, achievement, and running through the great Nephalem Rifts.

Left: seasonal crusader is ready to join the battle.
On right: a full overview of your seasonal characters can be seen in the character profile.
conquests
At the beginning of each season, you will be able to get "conquests". These are special achievements tied to the season (in addition to the regular achievements that are already in the game). Behind each conquest there is a challenging goal, which depends on the gameplay and the level of difficulty: some conquests are easier, others are more difficult. This can be anything from killing Malthael at Torment VI level 70 to completing all Acts I through IV in an hour. Conquest deliberately emphasizes different playstyles.
Conquests go to those who rush: the first 1,000 players to complete a Conquest in a given season will be immortalized in the leaderboard of their region. Now we plan to offer 10-15 unique conquests in each season, and for each of them there will be a separate leaderboard. But regardless of whether you get into the rating or not, achievement points are also awarded for completing the conquest. They will count towards your total points this season.
Are you not up to the seasons? Please!
If you're not in the mood to start over from scratch, then fine. After all, seasons are purely voluntary. At the end of the season, new legendary items from this fall into the list of regular, non-seasonal, loot. In addition, non-Seasonal characters can participate in Greater Rift leaderboards, which means you can face off against friends and other players in your clan.

Great portals

Greater Rifts (formerly "Rating Portals") are special Nephalem Rifts that allow you to fully evaluate the effectiveness of your combat equipment and its suitability for your level.
How to get into the great portal?
To access the Greater Rift, complete a regular Nephalem Rift on any difficulty. If you defeat the Portal Guardian, he will drop the Great Nephalem Portal Key. Similar to Portal Stones, this key can be used to open a Greater Portal while at the Nephalem Obelisk. When the Greater Portal opens, your companions will need to use their own Greater Portal Keys to join you!

A special key is required to enter the great portal.
Construction of great portals
Although great portals are a type of Nephalem portal, there are several major differences between them. This is how the great portals are arranged.

Your progress is measured by a timer; a record of killed monsters is kept.
Most monsters do not drop loot. All of it is transferred to the guardian of the portal.
This way you don't have to sacrifice good loot to get through the portal in record time.
Killing different monsters fills the progress bar differently. The stronger the monster, the faster the indicator will fill up.
In the great portal, you will not be able to resurrect next to your body or in the city. This can only be done at the last savepoint.
- Please note that now if you are killed in the Greater Rift on Heroic Difficulty, your hero will not be able to resurrect.
You will not be able to use Player Banners to teleport if the target player is in a Greater Rift.
The difficulty level of the Greater Rifts increases gradually and does not depend on the difficulty level set in the game settings (Master, Torment I-VI, etc.).

If you manage to complete the Greater Rift before the time limit expires, you will advance to the next level of difficulty. And if you show just a brilliant result in time, then you will generally be transported through several levels at once! If time runs out before the end of the passage of the portal, the race will be interrupted, and your best result will be published in the leaderboard.

The progress bar in the Greater Rift looks a little different.
It shows the relationship between passing and efficiency.
Legendary Gems
Greater Rifts are a difficult challenge, and solid rewards should be awarded for completing them. Therefore, we are introducing Legendary Gems into the game - special rewards, the power of which can increase as the game progresses.
Legendary gems are still in early development and will not appear in the PTR right away. In a nutshell, these gems will give your hero special legendary abilities when placed in a specific slot of equipment. They can be "developed" indefinitely through the passage of other great portals. The better you perform in the great portal, the more likely it is that your gem will become more powerful. We will tell you more about this innovation as we develop it further. Nephalem Portals
The changes will not bypass the regular Nephalem portals either. For example, the progress indicator when killing a monster will be filled in the same way as in the great portals. In addition, we plan to slightly change the mechanics of entering all portals. Previously, all players needed Nephalem Rift Fragments to enter. However, we have slightly reduced the requirements: now you only need one fragment to enter the portal.

Ranking tables

Players have a lot of reasons to compete with each other, and you need to view the results quickly and conveniently. Therefore, update 2.1.0 introduces a new important feature - leaderboards.
Greater Rift results, Seasonal Achievement Points, and Conquest results for a variety of playstyles are displayed here. In this informative table, you will find detailed information and compare your score with that of a friend, a player from your clan, or other players from your region. Each rating table has its own criteria for assessing progress.

In the rating tables, you can compare your achievements with the results of friends and other players from your clan.
Evaluation criteria in each table are different.
Greater Rift Leaderboards
There are separate leaderboards for Normal and Heroic Greater Rifts. In addition, seasonal and non-seasonal leaderboards will appear in the game. To help our users diversify their play style and compare their results with those of other players, we have developed the following categories of leaderboards:

single player for each character class (barbarian, demon hunter, crusader, etc.);
groups of 2 players;
groups of 3 players;
groups of 4 players.

Seasonal Leaderboards
Some leaderboards will be purely seasonal. For example, Conquest scores are only tracked for Seasonal players, so there are no leaderboards showing Conquest scores for non-Seasonal players. The same applies to seasonal achievement points. Also, since Conquests and Achievements are account-wide, the corresponding results in the leaderboards will be displayed without reference to normal or heroic mode (although some tasks will require you to play in a specific game mode).

Combat Changes

Of course, with so many competitive elements in the game, we are forced to rethink the mechanics of each class so that all players have an equal chance of achieving the goals of the next season. We won't go into too much detail right now, but instead will present you with a couple of examples of changes made with the future in mind. We will be experimenting with these changes in the open testing phase.
Agility and survivability
The first major change will be to the agility of Monks and Demon Hunters. Dexterity provides survivability bonuses quite different from those given by Strength and Intelligence. The dodge stat provides less protection than armor or damage resistance, and does not work at all when facing plague monsters and petrels. We want to leave the tank role to classes like the Crusader, but we want to achieve this at the expense of their class skills and not at the cost of lowering the survivability of Monks or Demon Hunters.
Therefore, agility will no longer affect dodge chance. Instead, for each point of dexterity, the character will receive one point of armor. With that in mind, we're changing the Monk and Demon Hunter skill mechanics, but you'll have to play the test game to find out the details!
Treatment
The next change will affect the treatment. Currently, the amount of healing received through equipment does not matter much, since the lion's share of the restored health comes from health spheres. We want gear to have a stronger effect on healing, so we're lowering the amount of health regenerated by orbs and buffing mechanics such as health regeneration on damage and regeneration speed. This change will also have a positive impact on situations where the player spends more time fighting each enemy, and therefore requires more healing - for example, when increasing the difficulty of the game or level while passing through the great portal.

waste pits

Greater Rifts and the Seasons system play a major role in this update. But we are trying to update other elements of the game so that you do not get bored with the adventure mode.
The sewers, the sewers of Westmarch, were planned to be added to the game in Reaper of Souls, but this zone of the game was not quite ready by the release of the expansion.

In the Sewers, you will encounter - and battle - with a variety of creatures.
Nevertheless, we liked the appearance and atmosphere of this dungeon - the oppressive environment of dampness and decay. So we've tweaked the Sewers, and now it's a new randomly generated dungeon. It can be accessed through normal and greater Nephalem portals (during the passage of the portal, you may randomly end up in one of the levels of the Sewers). We hope you enjoy it there!
We're going to add a few more new things to the game... But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Soon you will see everything in the PTR!

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

Update 2.6.7

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