Diablo 3 Patch 1.0.3 Bugs and Issues
Posted 20 June 2012 by EllyWith the new patch (notes from earlier) comes the inevitable issues, some of which have been acknowledged by Blizzard. There are no doubt more issues and unconfirmed changes to that game than are reported here and if you find any feel free to add them to the comments and we’ll update this news item.
Zombie Bears appear not to be acting as intended and are not working on stairways or narrow pathways. Blizzard confirmed the problems:
Unfortunately this won’t be fixed until patch 1.0.4 which has no release date.
The attack speed on Ashera’s Lock does not apply on existing items but it will on new spawns. The fix will be rolled out for existing items in patch 1.0.4.
There are reports of not gaining experience and health globes being invisible. One suggested workaround is to simply reset your password, that seems to have worked for a few people.
Cain has been sent loopy too, poor fella doesn’t know if he’s coming or going as Dgallery demonstrates in the general forum.
EDIT: Also I found a bug: when you want to join public games, you can’t change the difficulty and you don’t have access to every quest you’ve done (even some I made after the patch).
Does anyone know if the IAS on Inna’s Glory (Set pants) is fixed?
IAS bug fixes on existing legendary items is slated for 1.0.4 (whenever that comes) according to a blue post. All items that drop after the 1.0.3 patch will have the correct IAS, however.
Aren’t you restricted by level? I would think you can’t join games far below your level, and I know you couldn’t join ones above your level before. This could be a problem is your level is between difficulties or you are 60 and want to choose hell or inferno.
“There are reports of not gaining experience and health globes being invisible.”
WTF? Heezus craist! I’m scared to play [HC].
“There are reports of not gaining experience …”
noobs who have reached the level cap and don’t realize it
Please do not assume everyone else is a noob who knows nothing. This does seems to be an actual bug
The quick and eas fix for the EXP bug is to change your account password, as reported by Kotaku and most of the forums.
and this news item Niz;p
Funny that Zombie Bears would get changed when it should have been working fine, and now it’s going to be largely unusable for a long time. Big nerf (even if unintentional) to arguably the weakest class’s best skill.
Zombie bears has been doing something similar for a while on slopes. Whatever they did in this patch makes it more obvious because they are now getting stuck in the middle of wide open spaces. Guess I’m going back to getting another character to 60 rather than farming for better items for my WD.
Oh crap they messed up zombie bears.
At the while what’s needed is that they behave the same as if you are standing against a wall even in free spaces. Make them spawn before the WD, effectively increasing the range.
I almost exclusively use them that way unless I really have to and could really do without that annoying positioning.
%IAS was nerfed more than 50%. My 14% IAS ring is now 6% IAS.
Also, gold on quest rewards has been nerfed. Inferno, Act 1, Rumford, Wretched Mothers used to reward like 1600/1800 gold (and Hell was like 1200, Nightmare 800). Now Inferno rewards 800 gold.
Edit… appears all subsequent Act 1 Inferno Quest rewards are limited to 800 gold as well.
Diablo 3 has about the poorest quest reward system I’ve ever seen.
Inferno gold rewards have been 800 since before this patch, at least for me.
Well, some were 800. The Rumford/Wretched Mothers was twice that or more on Inferno. I ran it repeatedly for gold with my Wizard when it became readily apparent I didn’t have the gear/gold to do anything but the intro area of Act 1 Inferno. And when this became boring I started a Barb.
My Barb is now 60 in Act 1 Inferno, doing better than my Wizard, but now the repair costs suck. And I know darn well I got at least 1200 gold for the Rumford/Wretched Mothers quest in Hell difficultly. I don’t forget 4 digit gold rewards — because I don’t see them that often. I’m still poor.
My game wont even download the patch any ideas on what to do…… or has anyone else encountered this problem
The in-game FPS clock is broken and reads a solid 0. Blizzard said it’s a known issue but didn’t say when it will be fixed.
Not sure if bug or undocumented intentional change but champion mobs with “castable” affixes (arcane, jailer, waller, etc) now cast them much more frequently than before. Feels like nearly twice as frequently. Particularly noticeable with arcane.
Yep. Got Horde Arcane pack in the Act II Sewers. It was Bullet Hell.
