Please find the leaked patch notes below. Do not ask me to disclose the source. I do think the notes are promising however.
General
- server stability increased
- login server stability increased
- offline mode is now available, when starting the game one must have an active internet connection for the selected act to be generated, when leaving the game one must have an active internet connection allowing attained loot to be verified. If a player is not online when leaving the game, verification is done upon the next log in. Verification may be skipped, resulting in attained items being unavailable until verification
Auction house
- auction house can now be accessed through the menu while ingame
- maximum limit of items for sale increased from 10 to 25
- the search option now allows to select up to 6 affixes
- auctions can be cancelled at a cost of 15% of the auctions price
Settings
- "no whites" setting added under options - gameplay, enabling it will no longer show non-magical items which drop during the game. Gems, tomes and various other items have been made magical to accomodate this setting
- "lock skill" setting added under options - gameplay, while enabled skills cannot be changed
Gameplay
- drops in inferno are all required level 60 with according stats, resulting in fewer loot drops of higher average quality, more appropriate for the characters at this level of difficulty
- reduced inferno mob damage by 30%, mob attack speed and magic speed have been increased by 10%, resulting in less damage spikes while maintaining a similar yet slightly lesser level of threat
- monk and barbarian reduced damage increased from 30% to 50% to compensate for their lack of options to avoid damage while dealing it
- increased the chance of set items and legendaries dropping from boss mobs. After internal discussion, we decided the most epic enemies should result in the most epic loot
- disabled elite packs spawning with a combination of affixes which make them unbalanced
- nephalem valor will now persist after leaving the game and resuming the same quest, as we feel it is inappropriate to punish players for being disconnected or taking a break
- fixed a number of exploits allowing certain classes to farm content without risk
Artisans
- "add socket" is now available from the gemcrafter, the cost is determined by the items required level and statistics
- higher level blacksmiths will now offer repairs at reduced cost
- a new alchemist artisan is now availble, allowing health potions to be combined in various ways to create superior potions
Monks
- breath of heaven and serenity heal base values reduced by 10% with an added 10% of players maximum hitpoints, offering scaling with gear
- mystical ally hitpoints, avoidance, and resists changed from static values to 75% of the main characters values, offering scaling with gear
- increased base runspeed by 10%
Other classes are soon to receive similar adjustments in order to bring class power to similar levels
Developers note: creating a great online game is a work always in progress. These are the first set of changes aimed to improve gameplay experience for all players.
Please continue to provide feedback on your experience with the game, so we can work together on making Diablo 3 the game we all love to play.
We would like to thank our community for their understanding and valuable feedback
