Diablo III Patch 2.1.1 Goes Live on PC

Some Crusader and Witch Doctor skills have been tweaked!

Even thought console versions of Diablo III have been getting most of the love lately with Ultimate Evil Edition, that doesn’t mean the PC version has been left out to dry. PC players will find that a new patch, Patch 2.1.1, went live a couple of days ago in North America and did quite a bit to enhance the game as it stands today.

With various modifications to pets, character classes, items, Adventure Mode, crafting, and the various monsters we encounter in the game. It is unknown when the console versions will receive this patch in the future. Check out the full patch list below to view all the changes now added:

Legendary Gems

        Boon of the Hoarder

  •             The number of Gold piles that explode from enemies on kill has been reduced
  •             To compensate, the amount of Gold in each pile has been increased
  •             The total amount of Gold dropped remains unchanged, but this will noticeably reduce screen clutter

Infernal Machine

  •             In multiplayer games, the Key of Bones, Key of Gluttony, and Key of War will now be considered group drops
  •             This means that, instead of players having an individual chance to find a key, that chance is now exists at the party level
  •             If a Key of Bones, a Key of Gluttony, or a Key of War drops, it will drop for everyone in the party at the time

 

Greater Rifts

  •            The Rift of Trials has received numerous adjustments in an effort to more accurately assess an appropriate level of Greater Rift
  •            Large Aqueduct and Sewer maps will no longer show up in Greater Rifts

 

Kadala

        Philosophy

  •             While Kadala is doing a great job of giving players more control over finding specific items, we felt the current experience was a bit cumbersome and inconvenient
  •             As a result, we're working to reduce the frequency at which players need to run between Kadala and the Blacksmith to salvage unwanted items
  •             The cost to purchase items from Kadala has been greatly increased
  •             The chance for Kadala to drop a Legendary item has also been greatly increased

 

Bug Fixes

  •             Fixed an issue that could cause Greater Rift Guardians to sometimes drop multiple of the same Legendary Gem

 

CRAFTING

Mystic

      Enchanting

           Philosophy

  • We want players to be able to more reliably add sockets to their jewelry in order to enjoy Legendary Gems
  • We still have long term plans to provide more outlets for excess gems and more ways to farm gems that a player needs; however, since those changes are further down the road, we wanted to improve the quality of life of Seasonal and Non-Seasonal players alike by making it easier to add a socket to your Rings and Amulets
  • The cost to enchant jewelry has been reduced from a Flawless Imperial gem to an Imperial gem
