Patch on Live Patching Servers

A live patch has hit the live patch servers. Usually when this happens before Tuesday it means the patch should go live on the next Tuesday. However, we have not seen a maintenance post yet, so it is still up in the air if we will see the patch this week or not.

I heard from somewhere, think from Rhyker youtube the patch will be on the Feb 9.

Feb 9 is a good guess IF patch come together with Season 2.

Some think it's crazy to patch in the middle of season 2... especially this patch which has so many game-changing stuff. People worry about leaderboard, achievement, etc

But I say... screw it! Give us the patch NAO!

what will you do now?
i'm thinking of converting trial key as much as i can by using DH since he can be lazymode now. biggrin.gif

NO! Trial (should) still have significant XP buff compare to live. Do it later, gain more XP! sweat.gif

ps: another very important changes in 2.1.2:

The "Monster Kills grant X experience" affix is now multiplied by game difficulty

I have Monster kills grant +1018 experience... this is actually my best secondary affix after single resist...

new patch... still the same game. ancient item is basically just a lazy design so we have more same stuffs to farm with higher stats. what's next? grandfather ancient items with higher stats than ancient items so prolong the game longevity? 

DH got redesigned because it's not the "way" to play the game for dev. Barb got redesigned because someone complains that barb drags all the mobs away and he can't keep it up and has nothing to kill - so dev says ok, nerf it and let barb join the 3000% dmg party!

so you have +1018 exp gear... t6 gives you 1600% which means multiply by 16.. so you get 16k exp.. let say you kill another 1 million mob (you have killed a total of 6 million mobs now - nothing personal, just for an example).. you gain 16b exp.. which is not even 1 paragon level at 750+.. great!

not to mention with the introduction of ancient items (MOAR STATS!), the +5 main stats on each paragon level is very very insignificant.

the devs are just lazy or simply put diablo 3 isn't a game that generate revenue for them to care much.

will people still be playing and enjoy the game? sure, at least we have something new to farm, but nothing really to be excited for.

that's very negative way of seeing things. although i agree to most of your points, i choose to think like this:

ancient item = great! finally some gears that can be real upgrade.
skill changes in DH - emm i don't play DH. i heard it's pretty engaging...
skill changes in Barb - personally, i like it, i party with Reakor barb before... so...
skill changes in monk - good, more ways to play.
+xp scale with game difficulties - it's a bonus! even if this shorten my xp farming for 5%, that's awesome!
ancient items diluted the value of paragon point - well, i still prefer having ancient items than having none tongue.gif
something new to farm, incremental patch = exciting news for me, we've been sitting on 2.1 for 3 months now, it's getting old...

2.1 to 2.1.2 should be just a minor patch... good to see some good stuff.

on related news, haven't heard much from the senior dev such as Josh, Travis and Wyatt. they could be enjoying their holiday, or (again positive thinking tongue.gif) are working on Expansion 2!

So in new patch the undisputed champion will get every rune effect of frenzy when equipped, but my lightning barb currently wearing Thundergod's Vigour. Not sure if the trade off is worth it.  sad.gif

Yesterday night i manage to farm the undisputed champion belt, i plan to keep un-identified till the patch come.  brows.gif

it does not work that way, only new drop after the patch will have the new effect

Ohh typo, i corrected the post, it should read like

Annonying mobs such as Anarch and Corrupted Angel are not now easier

From changelog:

Anarch
Maximum dash range has been reduced
Now has a short dash that will be used at close range

Corrupted Angel
Maximum dash range has been reduced
Unholy Shield has been removed
