5 Min Summary of Patch 2.0

[@CatalysedCat]

well summarized, i watched most of the 30 mins rob made and you nailed what's in here, you even went over things they didn't cover, and provided the actual gameplay footage, not pictures, GG! one thing rob included though was the new legendaries, but yeah, other than that, can't think of anything much that wasn't included!

[@MattiasTheGamer]

Thank you! Yeah, definitely a lot of details I skipped, but for the people who want that, I'm thinking they can watch the longer videos and/or the blog post!

Thank you for a concise and quick overall summary!

[@vectorfox4782]

*TL:DR:* D4 is now D3.5

[@MattiasTheGamer]

Let's be honest - it has always been that 😅

[@ykwdota]

@@MattiasTheGamer No, it has been D0.5 if anything. Nothing in D4 was an overall improvement of the prior games. Now they just reverted all their useless changes. It baffles me that you guys just oh so conveniently forget all of blizzards heinous deeds, and that you never ever understand that games are not something that can be made on mass. A game is a piece of art someone imagined, not something that over 3000 developers that dont even know each other, slap together. And you all wonder why we don't get any good games except maybe from indie studios, although those dont even fill a gap in what players want, they just kinda fade into nothingness after a few months and leave no mark except a select few who reinvented or created entire genres. You always forgot all the upbringings of the games we have today, the fantastic things that were created just to be copy pasted and copy pasted and copy pasted with slight differences as if someone was copying homework and trying to make it look like they came up with it.

[@ykwdota]

And no, GRAPHICS DO NOT COUNT AS AN IMPROVEMENT THESE DAYS. Graphics are by far the least thing that make a game look good, art style and originality is what makes it good if I had to put words on it, which I hate to do as thinking in words and justifying ones opinions by translating it into words is the most uneffective way ever.

Whats your thoughts on the new change to victimize? The change to weapon dmg specifically doesnt sound grear to me. Previous: Lucky Hit: Dealing direct damage to a Vulnerable enemy has up to a 50% chance to cause an explosion, dealing 62% of the damage to them and surrounding enemies. Victimize's damage is increased by 120%[x] of your Vulnerable Damage Bonus. Now: Lucky Hit: Dealing direct damage to a Vulnerable enemy has up to a 50% chance to cause an explosion, dealing [80% weapon damage] damage to them and surrounding enemies. Victimize's damage is increased by 120%[x] of your Vulnerable Damage Bonus

[@MattiasTheGamer]

Yeah, seems like a nerf - it's certainly not going to be as strong as it was in Season 4. But who knows... with all the stats/affix/tempering changes it's hard to predict what will be "the best" :)

[@shadowfallenable]

Number 1 to saving lots of time, should be deconstructing items on the spot (without having to fast travel to the town.

[@MattiasTheGamer]

@shadowfallenable I hear you! I think blizzard (and a lot of diablo players) enjoy the occasional visit to town. It's a balance of not having it be too often though!

[@aaronbiglow6573]

Ok so not feeling the doom and gloom after seeing this. Laid out simply i think these changes are actually pretty exciting.

[@MattiasTheGamer]

All of them are positive, yes :)

[@Jon-rj2lc]

I'm concerned, so all my hard work getting triple greater affix items, tempering them, masterworking them, when the dlc goes live all my armour will be decreased to level 540 making them obsolete, so they will be 'reset' to cope with the new system coming in, so basically no point to level characters now then? I'm not ok with that, someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

[@soangry]

Welcome to diablo. Every few seasons they will make all your eternal realm gear useless.

[@ra33it69]

It said that the new glyph system is better for casuals? But im a little confused. If i have a lvl 1 Glyph, do i need to do a lvl 10 Pit to make sure i can lvl it up??? Isnt pit 1 = monster lvl 100? So it is actually harder for casuals? At least with nightmare dungeons, you can do the Tier that your build can do to lvl glyphs, just took longer. Please let me know if i have mis-understood how it works. Maybe Pit is getting a rework and Pit: 1 wont be monster lvl 100?

[@MattiasTheGamer]

Yeah Pit Tier 1 has level 1 monsters... You can do Pit from level 1 now it seems. The game has completely changed :P

[@ra33it69]

The runewords and new game modes, like the raid "Dark Citadel" are expansion only. The normal patch notes are added to the base game. And things like Infernal Hordes are base game.

[@CatenaccioBoom]

@@MattiasTheGamer thanks for the answer. So no D4 for me onwards.

Honest question: you already played for a year (assumption). Are you expecting free updates for the rest of the game's life?

@@rodafz I have 9k hours in Poe I get them every 4 months in better quality than D4 did all together in a year.

[@LoLTerminus]

question for anyone who may have the answer. what happens to your current 925 gear when this update comes out. does it move to 800 or does it become legacy like the old system when tempering released? wonder how different the stat lines will be given this.

[@MattiasTheGamer]

I think 925 with the new stat squish becomes 570. So it won't be BiS anymore. And ofc they become "Legacy" items as the affixes change etc. That's my best understanding as of right now.

I would come back and try this game again ... but at this point it feels like beeing robbed and am not interested in ever coming back. Still, nice video and nice changes to the game ! :)
