Diablo 3 1.0.5 Patch Notes Detail Survivability Changes, and Infernal Machine

Post by Dan @ 10:03am 02/10/12 | 15 Comments

Blizzard has rolled out Diablo III's v1.0.5 to their public test realm, and the always epic (or should I say, legendary) list of changes can now be found over in this official blog post.

As has been mentioned in recent weeks, the biggest changes this time around are numerous tweaks to defensive skills across all classes and reductions in monster attack damage that will purportedly result in greater survivability.

The new Monster Power system also kicks off with this patch, implementing a manner of player-adjustable monster difficulty for scaling loot returns (more details on that here), as well as a new event titled Infernal Machine, where players can access a portal to some new double boss battles with greater chances of hot loot drops.

Hit up the PTR 1.0.5 patch notes for the complete run down.

Sorry, too busy enjoying Borderlands 2.

You know, a fun Action-RPG that is not a mind-numbing grind-fest.

"Quick, everyone is leaving the game and no-one is buying it! Why!?

OMG I KNOW! We'll make it easier and reach the casual market! GENIUS!"

Meh, zero care.

Too busy playing Torchlight 2. Y'know, the game that Diablo 3 SHOULD have been.

Who would have thought Blizzard could make a game that was more popular to hate on than WoW?

Who would have thought theyd make a game that was a grind ... shock fucking horror. To be fair though the game was always going to sell well given the warm fuzzy memories so many people had of d1 and d2. Personally though its going to take a serious shift in attitude from them before i pick up another one of their games. They seem to have the same level of arrogance about their games as apple does with all its shit.

i'm still sucked into this shit.. but i'm slowly waning..

paragon 35 hardcore monk.. i see the grind ahead and just think ... why...

i did test my monk on the ptr and was able to easily beat diablo on inferno monster level 0 - so i cranked it up to mp 5 and was able to still kill large groups of mobs - so i cranked it up to 10 and even though i was killing the first pack of 10 somehow they all hit me at the same time and i died..

but yeah i saw the vid of the guy killing the mp10 elite and getting shit loot.. and thought.. wtf am i doing..

D3 was designed around the auction house instead of the other way around so blizzard can make transaction cuts on the RMAH.

This is why D3 was a complete failure.

Still playing this for only one reason a mate of mine, thats it everyone else on my list has not been on for 60+ days it still baffles me how bliZzZz could royally fuck this game up, everytime i login i point that out to my mate he isn't sick of me saying it because i think he is just as frustrated. After everyone is gone NOW they come out with the PTR server bloody idiots really are some thick skulls behind the scenes of this game.

They "DOUBLED" the legendary drops in the upcoming 1.05 patch but what is that only 1% ? just to test to see if my character was bugged (have not got a legendary since 1.03) went to normal with 300% mf all i got was a level 10 WD mask had like 11 int 1hp regen not very legendary lol and for 2 hours after nothing at all now it just makes me think how can i expect a legendary drop in inferno when they are ment to drop more in normal.

So they come out with MP10 so it would take people 10x the time to kill Diablo and the drops are exactly the same only one thing i can see in that is people get frustrated by not killing him fast enough and go buy more shit from the AH.

Don't know how much more of this game and the idiots working on it, how many more moronic ideas can they come up with.
