Next Diablo 3 Patch Info Incoming

Posted 8 January 2013 by Rushster

With the recent news that Diablo 3′s PvP Team Deathmatch is now defunct in its current form, we’re eagerly awaiting news of the next patch and of course more PvP information. According to a Tweet made today, that information could be coming very soon. The next few days in fact.

We’re still busy working on the details, but we’re hoping to have it out in the next few days. :)

What are your hopes for the next patch and PvP in the update?

Thanks KrakenReloaded.

  • I hope they enable the code for dueling that was present in the game at launch 8 months ago so we can run around one shoting each other. No seriously… anything would be better than logging in to farm Act 3 one more time.

      I hope they got a new direct though USB drive anal **** feature, cause D3 players did not get enough of assinvasion…

    • i’m gonna give act 2 a shot, are packs still spawning like crazy in the vault of the assassin in desolate sands?

    One of the top things I’m looking for is some improvements for crafting. It’s nothing short of useless currently. I’d like to see more improvements to 2-handers as well. Outside of Skorn, they still suck.

  • First I just want to know what they’ve been working on the last 3 months :o

    Then I hope for the OWE nerf so we can be done with that. And also hopefully a reason to play other acts than act 3 plus some incentive to play a bit multiplayer. Perhaps a reason to go beyond MP0 for farming…?

    • LOL what makes you assume they have been working the past three months?

      Myself I will be happy just to see this patch come out this year at this point.

    • lol yes, let’s nerf the monk who is already the weakest character…

      • Better that they do it now than continue to just say they will do it eventually in each patch. I have been a monkplayer myself from the start and am still, tired of waiting for something that they will do eventually.

    • They already told us what they had been “working” on the past several months. They were fiddling with PvP battlegrounds and PvP damage trying to get them to turn into something playable. Obviously you wont get the see any of that work in this patch. I’m sure they worked on other very minor items that will be ready to go but short of dueling and minor fixes that won’t impress anyone I wouldn’t get your hopes up. Major things like items sucking, lack of build diversity, farming Act 3 getting old, crafting being totally retarded, and group play still sucking CERTAINLY won’t be touched this coming patch. Some of those probably won’t even be fixable with an expansion pack.

    • a wild optimist appeared. optimist uses common sense. Blizzard dodged.

      • Thanks JamesL for this awesome list.
        And thanks WhiteGiant for a bittersweet laugh.

    • Identify all and MP in public would go a good length to improving multiplayer for sure. Add in some way to label the game’s purpose (e.g. Alkaiser001, A1 woods fields) and you’re on your way. Ever made a public game on the last quest and try to get people to run different areas? It completely blows their mind.

      And they could improve A4 alot by just letting NV carry over. Doing Heart of Sin and leading into A4 with 5 stacks would be nice. Then just increase mob density and scatter some more trash mobs around. If hell has invaded heaven, there should be giant groups of demons right? Oh, maybe any type of event or random dungeon/tower. Now I’m asking alot.

  • Btw, “next few days” is just another way to say “soon”. So expect to wait for a while for this update :D

  • judging from what they have done so far i wont get my hopes up.

  • I’d like to see an Arena mode where players could challenge and wager IGG or even the gear they’re wearing (sort of like racing for pink slips). And in this Arena mode you should be able to spectate and also wager IGG on the fighters as well.

  • Only thing I care about is some sort of revamp/relook at A1, 2, and 4. Its ridiculous that doing anything other than the same few areas of act 3 is not only half the xp, but incredibly more tedious (trees I’m looking at you). If they increased mob density and tweaked a few of the more obnoxious monster types the game itself wouldn’t be bad at all. And of course doing something to make it even mildly worthwhile to fight sub and act bosses would be a bonus.

  • Remember when they said “the next few days” 2 weeks ago! These morons at Blizz are just trolling now.

  • Soon they will say they said soon too soon.
