In this week’s news, Diablo III, Diablo III, Diablo III, and Diablo III. Also, Diablo III.
Today, we bring you new news of Diablo III, with a list of hotfixes already released for the game, and other new news of a patch dropping next week.
The list of hotfixes – made server-side – include a pretty extensive number of bug fixes and gameplay changes, featuring (minor spoiler warning):
Monsters
- Mehtan the Necromancer and his skeletons can no longer be used to kill other monsters which have been kited to their location before or after the “Restless Sands” event.
General
- Players will now receive an error message when attempting to remove a gem from an item with no sockets (rather than disconnecting).
- Players will now properly have their casting interrupted when attacked while performing resurrect on a fallen group member.
- Resolved over 30 game and service crashes affecting players.
Items
- The chest spawn in the Town Cellar in Alcanus has been changed from a 100% chance to spawn a Resplendant chest to a 50% chance to spawn a Normal chest.
- Players can no longer dual-wield two-handed weapons.
- Equipping a shield on a follower as a demon hunter will no longer disconnect you from the game.
Encounters
- Players will no longer remain invulnerable to attacks after defeating Diablo.
- Players can no longer become stuck during Diablo’s Shadow Grab ability if a player blinds Diablo while Shadow Grab is being cast.
Quests
- Act I
- Players can now always interact with Karyna during the quest and quest step “Trailing the Coven : Talk to Karyna” when they resume from a save.
- Act II
- The Enchantress will now always appear during the quest and quest step “Shadows in the Desert : Disrupt the Hidden Conclave.”
- Act IV
- Tyrael will now always be present for the in-game cutscene during the quest and quest step “Prime Evil : Climb to the Pinnacle of Heaven in the Silver Spire.”
A number of class balance tweaks have also been introduced, which you can read at the link below.
“Moving forward, additional server maintenances will be required — and sometime next week, we plan to release a game update in the form of a patch that will further address client issues and apply additional bug fixes,” said community manager Danielle “Nethaera” Vanderlip on the Battle.net forums.
“We also wanted to let you know that we’re still looking into the best way to address the achievements that some players lost in the hours following the game’s release. While we don’t have any concrete details to share with you just yet, we will have more information to share in the weeks ahead. We appreciate everyone’s patience as we work to improve stability and usability for all players.”
Blah blah blah. Just increase the Legendary and Set item drop, please. I’ve played, like, hours and haven’t found a single one.

If you check the stats of the high level legendary and set items, you wouldn’t want them. They are pathetic compared to some of the high lvl rares and blues. Check the best legendary bows/xbows/hand xbows on the D3 site and compare them to the top rares on the AH…one I saw was 1300+ DPS! Legendaries aren’t close to that.
