Repair costs have been increased for item levels between 53 and 63
Magic Find will no longer be considered when looting objects in the environment such as chests, barrels, vases, pots, and corpses

Crowd Control Reduction from items and skills will now reduce the percentage value of Slow, Chill, and Attack Speed debuffs rather than reducing how long the debuff lasts

For example: previously, if you were debuffed by a 60% slow that lasted for 2 seconds while wearing gear that provides 20% Crowd Control Reduction, your movement speed would be reduced by 60%, but only for 1.6 seconds. Now, the same amount of Crowd Control Reduction will reduce the Slow effect to 48%, but the effect will remain for the full 2 second duration.

Bug Fixes

Items level 50 and above will now display their item level in the tooltip
Damage Over Time (DoT) skills will now properly benefit from items with the +Critical Chance affix

Please note that this fix will only affect new Legendary drops. Existing Legendary items will be addressed in a future patch.

Fixed a bug with linking items with socketed gems in chat
Fixed a bug where vendors would occasionally not have any items for sale
Fixed a bug where selling more than 12 items to a vendor and then buying back 1 of those items could cause multiple items to disappear from the Buyback tab

Diablo III finished on Inferno using Hardcore character
Diablo III community manager, Bashiok, has confirmed the world’s first Diablo III completion on Inferno difficulty with a Hardcore player. Video – with potential spoilers – through the break.



A Diablo III player named Kripparrian has completed the game on Inferno difficulty using a Hardcore barbarian, he received a little help along the way from a wizard named Krippi.

Inferno is the hardest of Diablo III’s difficulty levels and Hardcore characters suffer perma-death when they are killed, so this is no mean feat, especially as it was achieved prior to patch 1.0.3 being applied which made certain items more readily available from loot drops.

The video below features “Kripp and Krippi” taking on the game’s final boss with a voice-over explanation from a triumphant Kripparian.

[PetrifieD-]

Μπράβο Blizzard! Μετά το 1.0.3 έχω πολύ ανεβασμένα ms ανά συχνές περιόδους. Τι κάνανε πάλι; Τι να πω; Κάτι τελείως σωστό δεν μπορούν να κάνουν; Μόνο προχειροδουλειές αυτό το παιχνίδι...

[Plisken]

Μόνο προχειροδουλειές αυτό το παιχνίδι...

Δεν εχω ακομα πληρη εικονα μιας και μετα το patch εχω παιξει μεχρι τον SK. Αλλα μεχρι στιγμης το μονο που εχω δει να διαφερει ειναι τα υπερβολικα repairs που πληρωνουμε.

[PetrifieD-]

Ναι όλα τα λεφτά εκεί θα πηγαίνουν τώρα. Αν δεν πέσει κάτι καλό να πουλήσω με βλέπω σύντομα ταπί από τα repairs. Το είχαν πει ότι θα τα αυξήσουν στο lvl 60.

Diablo III hotfix increases high-end loot drops in Hell, Inferno modes
Blizzard has issued a hotfix for Diablo III which increases the chance of high-end loot drops by monsters in all Inferno acts, and acts 3 and 4 in Hell mode. The chance of looting level 63 items have also increases significantly, and bosses are now guaranteed one Rare item at the least for players with four stacks of Nephalem Valor. If a player has five stacks of Nephalem Valor, bosses will drop at least two Rare items.

Diablo 3 hack causes over $10,000 worth of damage!
The Diablo 3 RMAH is making people a lot of money, but none so much as the common hacker. A relatively simple exploit was uncovered in the last few days which have allowed enterprising exploiters the world around to purchase expensive items on the auction house for peanuts, harming legitimate users in the process. We have left some technical details intentionally vague.

It works quite simply, within Diablo 3 you can put items up for auction with either a buyout, or a flat bid system. The hack will then allow people to buyout an item for the value of its bid, which is quite frequently much much lower than the worth of the item. ‘The hack is very easy to replicate’says one of the hackers ‘it’s just a matter of switching values within the client, tricking it into thinking there is a buyout when there is none there’
Over the course of four hours, I spoke to five different people who were using the exploit, two of which who confirmed it to me via streaming video. Every single person who had used it had made over $2,000 to themselves, in addition to the money they had already made from the RMAH before using the hack.

A few had stated they got the exploit working on the gold auction house, allowing them to bypass Blizzards review period for transactions. With the price of gold within Diablo 3 already at Blizzards artificial minimum of $2.5 per million, and externally at trading sites like playerauctions at $1.7 per million, they’re able to easily turn that gold into $$ minutes after purchasing the items.

Since starting to investigate this exploit over 24 hours ago, various sites have been reporting on it and public methods have been made available, increasing the overall number of people using this exploit, and the loss in income, gold or otherwise, that legitimate Diablo 3 users are experiencing when an exploiter buys their item for its current bid.

Blizzard are no doubt aware of the issue, however there is no notice as to when it would be fixed, and people complaining about it have been left without a blue post confirming there is an issue… considered Blizzard’s standard operating procedure when dealing with something that could potentially give them a loss in income. Will there be refunds? No. Will people get any kind of compensation? No. Will exploiters still have profited? Absolutely.

For now, please be aware that putting an item up for bid with no buyout will leave you vulnerable to this particular exploit. Hopefully this is due to be hotfixed soon.
