GENERAL

  • Developer Comments
    • Players were finding that pulling monsters from extended ranges to a single point on the map and crowd controlling them onto that spot was the most effective strategy, especially in group play. Not only does this cause server performance issues, but it is a stagnant, non-interactive way to play. These changes are targeted at making crowd control more situational, ensuring individual contributors in a group can add to the damage of the party more frequently.
    • Gold rewards have been adjusted. The primary gold sink at the end-game is Empowered Rifts. We want to maintain a general ratio that when you are running Greater Rifts at a particular tier, you can empower approximately 1/3rd of them. Due to the rate at which gold rewards from Greater Rifts and empower costs were scaling it made the gold reward from Nephalem Rifts, Gilded Barons and The Vault feel insignificant by comparison. Lowering the growth rate of gold costs restores the relative value of these other activities while maintaining the ability to empower approximately 1/3rd of your Greater Rifts.
  • ​New difficulty levels, Torment XI-XIII have been added to the game
  • Gold rewards have been adjusted:
    • Greater Rift 26 and up has been rescaled to a flat 3% increase per tier
    • Torment VII-XIII has been changed to match Greater Rift reward scaling
    • The cost to empower a Greater Rift has been reduced to match the new gold reward rate
    • The amount of gold dropped by the Gilded Baron Treasure Goblin has been reduced
  • Knockbacks now apply a flat 40% increase to crowd control resistances
  • Monsters cannot be knocked back if they are over 65% crowd control resistant
  • Powers that apply knockbacks continuously, such as Black Hole, can bypass this resistance if they already knocked a monster back successfully. These powers increase the crowd control resistance by 20% per knockback instead of 40%

CLASSES

  • Developer Comments
    • With a plethora of Hatred spending attacks available to the Demon Hunter we want to find a unique role for Spike Trap. The redesign gives players more control on where and when Spike Trap damage was done using a mechanic unique to it. Using a Hatred spender to detonate opens up the capabilities of Spike Trap by allowing players to time their damage just right.
    • We’ve adjusted several skills which provide buffs to groups. Taken together, these changes should encourage players in groups to contribute damage to their party, while also encouraging a more healthy variety of group compositions. For more information on this change please see this forum thread.

ITEMS

  • Developer Comments
    • With Haedrig’s Gift, Blood Shards and Kanai’s Cube, the need for the Magic Find stat has diminished since the game’s original release. Replacing the Magic Find property with Resource Cost Reduction made sense. We expect the Topaz will hone some existing builds and open up possibilities for some new ones.
    • In addition to being one of the least popular gems, Invigorating Gemstone had a mechanic that was simply unappealing to many players. Our goal with Legendary Gems is to supply unique tools that complement a build. A gem that increases your healing is truly invigorating!
    • When reviewing items for this patch, Twisted Sword stood out as needing a revision. While we want items to feel powerful, we also want the gameplay style associated with the items to be fun. We heard loud and clear that using Twisted Sword to stack Energy Twister in places where the tornado did not move was effective but boring. We’ve made adjustments to Twisted Sword to prevent this from occurring.
  • Socketing a Topaz into your helm will now provide Resource Cost Reduction rather than Magic Find. This grants the same percentage bonus as Cooldown Reduction and caps at 12.5%
  • Bottomless Potion of Chaos
    • New Legendary Potion
      • Teleport to another location when used below 40% health
    • Graphical and sound effects have been added to the teleport

Neverwinter Nights 2 Updates And Patches

ADVENTURE MODE

  • Developer Comments
    • The experience rewards for the actual completion of a Nephalem Rift felt too low, reducing the feeling of accomplishment for defeating the Rift Guardian and closing the Rift. This change is aimed at ensuring that the bulk of your reward is earned upon completion.
  • Infernal Machine drop rates have been adjusted:
    • Torment levels V-XIII have an increasing chance for a second machine to drop
    • There is now a 50% chance for a machine to drop on Torment I increasing to 100% on Torment IV
  • Nephalem Rifts
    • Greater Rift Keys are now guaranteed from any Nephalem Rift and increasing the difficulty now increases your chance of getting a second or third key
    • Greater Rifts
      • Some of the Experience earned in a Greater Rift has been shifted from killing monsters to the reward for closing the rift. The overall amount of Experience earned should be roughly the same
