Achievements

• A new feat of strength has been added for adding the World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria Collector's Edition to your Battle.net account. The achievement awards 2 sigils and 1 accent for your banner.

im crying over the attack speed nerfs, so hard. so much for breaking 2.0 aps

after patch all my attack speed items combined will provide the same as one does now.

[LeftAnswer]

No word in this about them smoothing out the difficulty gap between inferno act 1 and inferno act 2. I hope they still do this. As for the IAS nerf, at least they announced it ahead of time so that you you didn't spend 10 billion gold on an ias item and then the next morning find its worth less than half. I personally do not use any ias items so it doesn't affect me any.

[ghettopimp]

im honestly hoping this flys under some peoples radars, and they see a post patch 9% ias set of gloves and throw it up for cheap. I'm gonna need better gloves and a retarded good ring to get up to 2.0 a/s after the nerf

[LeftAnswer]

Scheduled maintenance tomorrow. Could this be it?

[ghettopimp]

  • Fixed a bug with linking items with socketed gems in chat
    
  • Fixed a bug where vendors would occasionally not have any items for sale
    
  • Fixed a bug where selling more than 12 items to a vendor and then buying back 1 of those items could cause multiple items to disappear from the Buyback tab
    
  • Fixed a bug where swapping a 1-slot item (i.e. a ring) with 2-slot item (i.e. a weapon) in the second or third tab of a player’s stash would sometimes cause the 2-slot item to be filtered incorrectly to the first tab

sorry to triple post, but i dint wanna add too much clutter below the patch notes in my last post.

My thoughts on some changes:

Quote

Skill Rune – Nether Tentacles

• Tentacles will now only hit each target once

sucks, probably needed, but with the IAS nerf and this hitting the same patch, my DH is going to be pretty lame now

Quote

added enrage timers and affixes on bosses (too much to fuckin quote each one)

belial is now pretty much pointless to farm, ranged will now have trouble with siegebreaker, since they cant let tyrael tank all the damage,

  • Mortar monsters can now hurl projectiles farther, but their minimum range has also been increased by 100%

the majority of these changes make life far easier for melee classes. mortar is now only a problem for ranged, and all the pussy ass ranged bitches you now have to spend 10 minutes chasing around the map wont be so much trouble

Quote

• Unique monsters in Hell and Inferno difficulty are no longer guaranteed to drop two Magic items when slain
  
• Weapon racks will no longer drop weapons 100% of the time
  
• Destructible objects no longer have a chance to drop items, and will only have a small chance to drop gold when destroyed
  
• 
  Magic Find will no longer be considered when looting objects in the environment such as chests, barrels, vases, pots, and corpses

im guessing there were alot of people doing no combat full mf gear chest runs in act 3/4.

I actually really like this change, especially combined with the changes to crafting and drop rates. These changes hopefully will provide a decreased supply in gold (due to gold sinks and nerfs to farming methods where the goal is purely gold), combined with an increased supply of act 3/4 items that arent just high dps magic weps.


The combination of enrage timers and lowered damage makes me believe that barbs and monks are now going to need to fit more dps into their build to be truly effective in inferno

[LeftAnswer]

Has anyone had a chance to see how the difficulty of acts 2 3 and 4 have been changed by this patch? I am looking forward to trying it out tonight.

[killen4fun]

I have played some 2.. It is ALOT better now.

The bugs that spit bugs, no longer 1 shot me with 900 resist. getting hit by all 4 little bugs will take about 50% of my hp

[Sage]

Thank god, those little fuckers are annoying. Finally got rid of my stockpile of low gems. 30k for max level crafting now it seems, is a lot less steep than the previous 50-90k. I'm not sure if it's worth it though. Given how specific stats need to be.

Good to hear!
All I read is complaints on the battle.net forums.

My only concern is how high they made repair costs. From what I read it jumped to ~50,000 for most level 60s which seems steep.

The ias nerf doesn't affect me as I had no ias gear on my wizard and all of the ias gear I picked up on mf runs I sold a day ago in anticipation of this patch. (Its not like blizzard didn't warn us.)

Actually the top level gems are still 30-50-90k

Lefty yes the repair costs are complete BS now.. costs me on average 20-30k to repair

Found some information on hidden patch changes:

Quote

• Whimsyshire Pony Bottleneck was fixed
  
• Act 1 Cultist Ritual easy Champ kill nerfed
  
• Zombie bears now bugged
  
• Command per second lowered and disconnecting people for spamming commands too fast
  
• Monster walls now correctly block certain abilities like Evasive fire/Archon beam/piercing orb/etc. EDIT: Archon still shoots through. Piercing orb never did. Evasive patched.
  
• Elite mob that used to spawn to right of Dahlgur Oasis is now purple monster that does not grant NV.
  
• Magic weapon no longer duplicates its effect on your character sheet display (it used to stack double)
  
• Elite mobs often regen to full health if kited just outside of your view on the screen
  
• Elite mob reset timer lowered
  
• Clouds in Whimsyshire fall under the same chests/destructible objects loot nerf (could be deemed as expected from patch notes, but left here to let people know anyways).
  
• IAS is nerfed more than 50%. 50% nerf is the best case scenario. For most items its around 60% and for weapons it is higher (as high as 75%).
  
• IAS items did a re-roll on stats in their category. You could have a high roll in the range of the original category that re-rolls low on the new category range.
  
• Act 2 nagas before waterlogged passage replaced with a single named elite.
  
• Dank Cellar Sarkoth now fights
  
• Event in Festing Woods changes spawn locations now, and sometimes won't even appear
  
• Belial powerleveling patched
  
• Goblins gained immunity to barbaian's hook when portaling away
  
• Mythic potions drops nerfed? Could be related to destructible items
  
• You can no longer force the same instance of a map by reloading a game. It will randomly pick a map every time. If you want the same map you'll have to load up several games.
  
• Whimsyshire staff plans changed from 1 gold cost to 50k gold for hell. 100k for inferno. nightmare =15k
  
• Certain popular crafting recipes ninja nerfed to higher costs. Such as Seven Sins and all pieces in Sage's set.
  
• Dank Cellar goblin runs nerfed
  
• Gold spammers muted/banned better
  
• Act 3 pop-up mines no longer do 400k damage to enemies. They now do about 50k.
  
• Monk spirit regen has changed to a cap of 6.18, probably in an attempt to stop people from doing things like unlimited spirit rush builds.
  
• Diablo didn't used to spawn a shadow in Phase 2 for any dead players. Now it spawns a shadow regardless of whether they are alive or not.
  
• Iskatu loot nerfed even more. Now he might drop nothing or a single white.
  
• Smoke screen no longer usable while frozen despite other skills being enabled. Conflicting reports. Some say yes, some say no.
  
• Cemetery elite changed to purple mob (no NV)
  
• Half price potion vendor in Act 1 removed from game
  
• ctrl + r bugs and only shows 0 framerate

Extracted from:
http://www.reddit.co..._for_patch_103/

I noticed "Act 1 Cultist Ritual easy Champ kill nerfed" so it made me look for what else they changed and didn't tell us about.
This also explains why my dps went from 29k to 24k but I didn't notice any change in my killing power. (Magic weapon no longer duplicates its effect on your character sheet display (it used to stack double))

Also, the comments in that thread amused me... here are some of the better ones:

Quote

Look, more hidden nerfprints

Quote

I wish Nerfs didn't ride single file to hide their numbers :(

Quote

He worked his hands to the bone, to bring you these hidden nerfs.

Quote

I've got a right good list of nerfs for you this fine day.

Quote

All of my nerfs have almost no DPS left on them...

Quote

Quote

I will just take these nerfs off your body when you die.

No offense.

Quote

BY ALL THAT IS HOLY, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THOSE NERFS OVER THERE?!

Quote

Quote

the FPS ticker (ctrl-R) displays a constant zero for me now.

The FPS now stands for Fun Per Second. The display is accurate, don't worry.

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH




Anyway, yeah this is information that SHOULD NOT be hidden. Like seriously what the fuck is blizzard doing. They're fucking up hard this time around.

[ghettopimp]

i find all the QQ on reddit quite hilarious personally.

dont have exact quotes but

"my DH wearing nothing but +dex + ias blues sucks now"

"i kept stacking attack speed on my monk and it feels slow now"

"i suck at this game so i was farming vases, but now i cant. RABBLERABBLERABBLERABBLE"
