Have they confirmed a release date for the new content/end of season 3 yet?

DeepT · 2015-07-29T05:09:16.000Z

Does anyone know if the legendary power sharing thing is only for the character that dusts items or is it in a pool that any character can use?

Patch 2.3 is now out for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.

It unlocks per account, separated by season/hardcore/normal. So if you unlock the passive on one character, it will be available for all of them as long as you are in the same mode.

There are some really really ridiculous things you can do with those passives.

Oh man, so much D3 goodness - thanks for the reminder!

Yeah thanks!
So much good gaming stuff happening for me today and so little time…such is life.

Yeah no kidding. If I wasn’t consumed by Path of Exile (and now Shadowrun and Pillars waiting too) I’d try this out right away. Alas, maybe next season.

I was looking forward to this, but then I started playing Grim Dawn and it totally clicked. I’m having a great time with that game.

Please, no more temptations…I can’t handle what I have lol.

If Grim Dawn was out on the PS4 then I’d be knee deep in it by now. Waiting for the full game to play on PC though.

So say we all. So say we all.

So I fired this up and took one of my Wizards up to get the whatzit cube. The recipes, mostly, require all sorts of obscure crafting materials that I guess I’ll get from rifts and stuff…eventually.

divedivedive · 2015-08-25T12:35:36.000Z

Yeah, I just gave it a go too - silly question probably, but does that little side quest have an actual end, or are you supposed to just town portal out and start combining stuff? Guess I’ve gotten too used to Diablo III giving me a big neon sign telling me I’ve completed a quest or bounty, felt like I left something undone but I didn’t see anything else to do.

They drop from bounties now, as normal rift keys are no longer required. There’s a real reason to do bounties now.

You definitely want to cube a weapon, jewelry, and armor ability ASAP. Ideally stuff that will work for everybody like Furnace.

Huh. I’ll take a look at it; right now, I have no idea what “cube a weapon ability” even means :).

Aleck · 2015-08-25T13:47:42.000Z

Did they ever patch controller support into the PC version?

rowe33 · 2015-08-25T13:48:03.000Z

I didn’t know about this Journeying thing - even more stuff to do. Can’t wait to fire it up tonight.

What’s the incentive for Blizzard to put out yet another amazing patch? If they’re planning on an expansion and trying to keep us all interested, why not just put all this in the expansion instead? And if there’s no expansion, why put this out at all? I imagine most people who were going to buy D3 have already bought it by now.

Is that even on the table? The console versions of Diablo III are specifically engineered to work with a controller. I can’t imagine they could just patch that stuff into the PC version.

So the Furnace has +50% elite damage. You pop the Furnace alongside a bunch of that new bounty crafting stuff in the cube, hit combine, the furnace is ground up, and you get “+50% elite damage” permanently added to your account’s list of weapon special abilities. From then on, you can choose to get +50% elite damage whenever you want.

You can equip 1 weapon, 1 jewelry, and 1 armor ability at a time. In addition to the actual legendary items you have equipped on your character.

It’s freakin’ awesome.

Thanks. Time to farm those crafting mats…
