The patch is finally here! Open your Launchers/Battle.net clients and start downloading the big 2.01 patch. Servers down for maintenance at the moment, but you will be able to login from about 12pm. I will definitely be on later, add me: Spaceman#2298

Here are the insanely long Patch notes: http://www.diablofans.com/news/47954-updated-10pm-pst-diablo-iii-patch-2-0-1-notes

It's too long to list here, however this patch includes; new login screen, improved GFX engine (new Reflections option), New monster affixes (6 new ones I believe), Loot 2.0 (smarter loot drops), new Paragon system, New difficulty levels (with revised monster density, monster difficulty etc.), clans and communities support (start your own Clan!) to name a few features.

Awesome! I'm really tempted to start a new play-through.
 
Might re-install the game now, I like the direction they've been taking it recently and the expansion does seem pretty cool.
 
I'm skimming through the patch notes, and I see lot of really awesome changes. This especially caught my attention:


  • The difficulty system has been completely revised
    • Nightmare, Hell, and Inferno modes have been removed
    • Difficulty is now dynamic and monsters will level up with your characters
    • There are now five difficulty settings to choose from: Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, and Torment (1-6)
      • Normal, Hard, and Expert are immediately available
      • Master unlocks upon completing Act IV
      • Torment unlocks upon reaching level 60
      • Torment level also includes a difficulty slider, offering an additional six adjustments with increasing rewards and more powerful monsters
      • Each level offers new bonuses and rewards, visible in the difficulty selection menu
    • You can now lower your difficulty setting in-game
      • However, increasing your difficulty still requires exiting your current game
      • This option is disabled in Hardcore mode
    • To account for these changes, monster density has been adjusted across all Acts
 
Downloading the game now. Think there have been enough changes to warrant me trying the game out again. :)

A finally the difficulty level choice should have been there from the start.

We going to coop again :D
 
Can't wait to play but I am leaving it till Reaper of souls arrives. Oh and until telkom decides I deserve internet again..fucking useless prats.
 
mmm... This is also not tempting me back... Mainly the loot drops...

Correct me if im wrong here, but the expansion just adds act 5 correct? and a new hero, but play wise the game remains the same just added act 5?

Hope this helps:

Reaper of Souls Features Not in D3v2.0.1

Just to clarify and establish this up front, a lot of the features you’ve heard so much about during the Beta/PTR are only found in Reaper of Souls and are not present in Diablo 3, even in Version 2.0.1. A quick list:


The Crusader class.
Act Five
Adventure Mode and Bounties.
Nephalem Rifts
The fourth passive slot (enabled at lvl 70 in RoS).
One new active skill and several new passive skills for each of the original 5 classes.
The Mystic and Enchanting.
Kadala and Gambling.
Gems above the Marquise level.

Hmm only ever finished this once, i should definitely try finish one more play through before the expansion drops also.
 
I reckon the gf and I are gonna be jamming this for hours :D
Can't wait for ROS to release, All we've been playing lately is Dota and Loadout so we need something different.

Loadout is all I've been playing, but I'm very tempted to play D3 tonight. Hopefully my update finishes by then.

So whos gna play tonight, make parties ppl :p
 
I had to choose between Dark Souls 2, and Diablo3 expansion. I chose Dark Souls 2.

The massive amount of band-with to update, I'm glad I did.
 
I was interested in trying it again until i noticed the patch size. Don't think whats left of my cap can handle that.
 
I'm having to download the entire game, so there will be no playing tonight. :)
