8 June Diablo 3 Hotfixes

Posted 9 June 2012 by Elly

A quick update from Blizzard regarding the latest hotfix that’s up and running.

General

  • In cooperative games, monster damage will no longer increase when additional players join the game. Please note that monster health will still scale based on the number of players in a party

Bug Fixes

  • Tyrael no longer has collision when he is your active follower
  • Pots of ashes in Act I and vases in Act IV will now drop less gold when destroyed
  • Fixed a bug where players could turn in the same quest repeatedly and always receive rewards as though they were completing the quest for the first time

That last one I’m surprised didn’t get caught before now, before open beta I would have thought. Cheese on a stick.

All the previous patches and hotfixes from the beginning of time can be found on DiabloWiki.Net for reference.

  • Heh, they are just going to patch every path to riches. Wow, they really don’t want you grinding for cash.

    Glad the internet wasn’t as gossipy back in D1 & D2.

    • The gold nerf was to address bot farming. So Blizzard fixes the Quest exploit and makes botting much harder and people are complaining???

      go figure….

      • This is kind of like the crime bills that get passed in the US which do absolutely nothing to stop crime. I have not complained once about the inferno/elite mob difficulty. I said to myself, I’m not good enough so i need to get some new stuff thus its time to grind previous territory for gold. Now they nerf that thinking that bot farmers are going to go extinct. I will still farm obviously and simply hit different areas. Perhaps my gold per hour goes down a few- no biggie. But to say that this is great because you/blizz “think” its actually going to impact gold bots is a laugh.

  • Blizzard has nerfed out all legitimate means of farming enough gold to buy gear. Diablo 3 is now officially on my “this game sucks” list. Bots are still in the game farming away and chat bots advertising their sites in the general chat forum. Blizzard is either too incompetent to stop them or just does not care.

    You can’t advance through inferno without buying gear from higher acts. Bleh. Too few viable endgame skills/builds. Bleh. Torchlight 2 come out quickly!!

    • If you are spending hours on end breaking urns and vases then you have already exhausted this game and it’s not fun to you anymore. Move on instead of grinding for virtual items.

      • hi, you must be new.

        welcome to diablo, the game thats NOT SUPPOSED TO END.
        if you exhaust a diablo game something is wrong. very wrong.

        hmm, well … i guess its grumpy and me who are new. please introduce us to this broken disney trading sim.

      • You underestimate the power of the slot machine.

      • Exactly.
        I don’t understand you people… the strongest part of Diablo 3 are probably all the awesome skills and skill runes you have… but instead of testing them all out you’re mindlessly trying to grind Inferno, which is far from being fun as you admit yourself…

    • Really? People get mad for exploits to be fixed?

      • DEAR FLUX:

        Please bring the ability to downvote back. Also, allow downvoted comments to get buried please. We get changes that are really good for the game, changes that the fans have been complaining about, and what happens?

        A long list of trolls saying how bad the game sucks now, and that they are going to quit…………

        Honestly, you people disgust me. :|

      • except it wasn’t an exploit

    • They are already addressing the fact that you can’t progress in inferno without buying items. When the next patch is released (hopefully soon) you can get lvl 62 and below items from act 3-4 hell, and lvl 63 and below items (the highest in the game) from act 1 inferno, which is pretty easy. Those who are stronger and can to acts 2/3/4 can farm faster, but anyone can do act 3 hell and get enough gear to confidently step into act 1 inferno, and then farm any item in the game. It should have been like that at launch, but Blizzard isn’t perfect.

  • “Fixed a bug where players could turn in the same quest repeatedly and always receive rewards as though they were completing the quest for the first time.”

    I KNEW it was a bug, darn it!!!

  • Not a bad game but something’s lacking.. finished inferno a week ago and im already bored. Cant believe it didnt even last a full month

    • What did D2 took three days to complete hell?

      • cant say i remember man.

        i was playing offline and i FOUND my own items, so it took quite a while.

        two weeks, one month, who cares. what matters is that i played that game – despite all its flaws, bugs, build useless rendering patches, rerolls, you name it – for about 11 years.

        and D3? im in act one hell. and i am really bored. i took my sweet time, tried to find my own items… and now after only 50 hours i am not feeling like i even want to start the game.

        my pet WD is basically useless. sure i could reskill him. i actually did, about a dozen times.
        and you know what?
        that made my WD even more bland and boring. i cant even remember his name. i sure know my battletag though.

  • Its funny how they call the gold drop nerf a “bug fix”…

  • I love how in the interviews and events leading up to D3 release all that fat ass said was “its soooo cooool” about this feature and that feature. Meanwhile the game sucks so bad and yet they are nerfing every possible way that keeps the re-playability factor there. The quests are boring. The dialogue sucks and its pretty cheesy. what the hell is with the cut scenes every 2 minutes and the end game? Laughable at best.

    Yea im pissed. So what?

    • QQ much? Go play Deus Ex.

      • gogo fanboy defense!

      • Actually I have played Deus Ex. And guess what? i LOVED it. It did not disappoint me after the long hiatus of the series. It lived up to EVERY expectation. Besides what does my name have to do with Diablo 3?

        QQ fanboy, go burn some dvd’s

    • You bought it. You played it. You don’t like it.
      It’s okay, but that’s just like your opinion, man.
      After 1 month, these whiner comments are getting really boring.
      It’s like you’d buy a burrito, what just doesn’t taste the way you imagined it and you’d keep complaining about it to your friends for over a month. Just imagine how effin’ bored would they be about you.

  • Also they forgot to add that Tyrael damage was nerfed becouse Siegebreaker farm was too easy…meanwhile bots make 400k/hour looks legit ;)

    • Yes, this hotfixes look uncomplete.

      I noticed that the spawn rate of treasure goblins (ActII/Ancient Path) has been reduced (feels like twice less).

      Also it seems they removed the bug where if you are in hell actI for example, you can start a solo quest in nightmare actIV, then leave game, then public game and then you find yourself with the hell actIV game, it was very convenient.

      Some others mention Tyrael dps and ActIII quest 1 for powerleveling, anybody can find a complete list or a source ?

  • “Fixes” = further evidence that what was shipped was not a tested game, but a late stage beta build. Still, the game can be developed, hopefully for the better.

  • If you don’t like it GTFO kthxbye

  • Cheese on a stick? :O
