Diablo 3 Leaked 1.0.3 Patch Notes

[Deadgye]

The first page of this thread captures my feelings pretty well. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/top...4438591?page=1

[Weltall]

I actually either lose gold or barely break even now doing Butcher runs, and that is without dying. This patch is the worst on any game I've ever played.

This is the first time I can remember that the complainers on a MMO/Online game are actually correct and the people who disagree are the morons. Wow...

[Raldo]

So I got on and played some last night. It definitely feels more rewarding playing through act 1 Inferno. I still get my shit pushed in in the later parts of act 2, so I need to do some work. I was *definitely* getting items from breakables though, I know for a fact I got several white items and a rare from breakables.

Define what you mean by "breakable" then, because this is in direct contrast to what I was seeing last night and what others are reporting.

[Eanae]

I was getting items from breakables last night too but never anything higher than whites.

[Azull]

I am fairly sure i received items from the "pile of bones" breakables in act 2. I will confirm tonight.

[Guitarman]

Piles of bones and the black mounds (forget what they're called) in act 3 never once dropped anything. not a grey not a single piece of gold. And this was 7+hrs of farming.

I'm with the people in the thread Deadgye linked. I was so hyped for d3, had a d3 avatar for months. Then Blizzard laid this giant crusty turd in my lap. Nerfs shouldn't happen in a ARPG. Who gives a shit if some guy wants to break pots for money? The repair costs is the worst part. I can barely hold myself afloat gold-wise. I'm actually losing money more often than not with repairs. It will become a very real possibility i'll have no money to repair so i just can't play my toon. That's bad design.

This is happening to me now in 1.03, and I have put in huge hours farming with no luck on good drops. There is no reason to keep playing because I will just be broke gear and gold wise. Absolutely horrendous decision-making by this team.

[Eanae]

I don't understand how you're losing money. Was making cash as fast as ever last night on my barbarian. Even with maybe 1 unlucky death per run I was coming out with 80k profit per run minimum pre-AH sales.

[Weltall]

What in the hell are you selling on the AH? Everything I find is complete and utter shit.

[Eanae]

RNG will be RNG.

[Odon]

Can anyone explain something to me, I lost 10k DPS losing 8 IAS. When I pick up that 25% IAS Shrine now, I don't even reach my previous DPS. How the fuck is that possible?

bump

[kisada]

i think it's cause the shrines before added to your crit rate.

pretty sure shrines were nerfed to kill crit rate bonuses.

[Correction]

•Herald of Pestilence tentacle attack damage has been reduced

Well that's one change that makes me happy, at least.

[Odon]

Yeah but shouldn't I surpass my old DPS alone based on the fact that I'd be getting an extra 17% IAS?

[Deadgye]

pretty sure shrines were nerfed to kill crit rate bonuses.

That doesn't explain how losing an 8%IAS and gaining a 25%IAS results in less damage. I'll try to check out if the way IAS was added via frenzy shines changed the next time I see one.

Start a game on nightmare, act 3 last quest, the one to kill azmodan. Stack gold find and pickup radius. Run to the checkpoint right before azmo killing everything on your way, should take roughly a minute. Leave game. Resume at that checkpoint, run back to the waypoint doing the same thing, hit town, leave game, resume and you're back at checkpoint.

You should get 5-10k per run at a bit over a minute per. So somewhere between like 250k-600k/hr. It works best on dh with ferrets.

No danger, very little repair required cuz you 1 shot everything so not taking much dmg.

[Weltall]

Thank you!

[Apelila]

Holy fuck at the attack speed nerf. I went from +27 to +12. I agree with a big point made in that post, Diablo never was and shouldn't be treated like an MMO.

[Iku]

This is the shittiest patch ever exist in my gaming.

NT nerf >> That is fine. Skill was imba.
IAS nerf >> That is fine. I am not stacking IAS
Siegebreaker buff >> Reflect Damage affix. LOL. So you nerf my damage and then buff to boss to make it unkillable?
High Repair Cost >> Still get 1shot. Fuck you blood clan impaler. Fuck you ranged mob. Fuck you Soul Lasher. Fuck you Hulk Phasebeast.

Act 3 Drop Nerf >> This is probably the shit that got my blood going. WHO GIVES A FUCK IF THOSE WOW DIPSHIT CANT CLEAR ACT 1. I ran Inferno butcher so many times. I farmed act 2 goblins for hours so I can gear myself for act 3. Now that I can efficiently farmed act 3 and all the rares i got is LVL 50. WHY THE FUCK I GET LVL 50 SHITS IN ACT 3 INFERNO? WHAT HAPPPENED TO ALL THE LV60+ items? WHY THE FUCK YOU NERF ACT 3 DROP RATE? EVEN WITH SALVAGE, I STILL GET THE HELL ESSENCES. I DONT NEED HELL ESSENCES. Pre 1.0.3 patch, a bad run in azmo is actually not bad because you still get a decent amount of essences for 6 props crafting. Now a bad run on azmo is just unrewarding as fucked.

FUCK YOU BLIZZARD.

^I'm with you bro, GO IN HARD!!!!
