Pre-Beta

Season 8 Pre-Beta Spoilers

Spoilers from Dev Stream #1

VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1903102606

  • Traps will now display icons & quantity in the upper left (like minions)
  • Recent chat log messages will be kept between games
  • Uber difficulty levels are being changed from 9 separate levels to 3 brackets (no rune, Vex-Sur, Ber-Zod)
  • Drop rate for exclusive uber items will be increased slightly
  • Shrine buffs will affect all players near the shrine when activated
  • Deep Wounds will be fixed (it is currently bugged and has a unintended damage cap)
  • Corruption Zones
    • Random zones will be temporarily increased to level 85 and enemies within those zones will have better chances to drop worldstone shards
    • Every 15 minutes, a random zone will be selected, and when a game is created, that zone will be "corrupted" for the duration of the game (only applies in Hell difficulty games where Baal's quest has been completed)
  • Infused orbs - each map orb can be pre-combined with other ingredients such as gems/runes/jewels (may be useful for saving space)

Spoilers from Dev Stream #2

VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1909176408

  • season start date revealed (Sept 22)
  • Option to lock charms & equipment within inventory (to prevent misclicks)
  • New throwing potions for cold/lightning elements, and all throwing potions now apply a small debuff to enemy resistances (highest level potions do -10%)
  • Dragon Claw will trigger all charge effects twice when consuming them (once for each attack since Dragon Claw is a dual-wield skill which attacks twice)
  • Fixed bugs with Dragon Tail, and adjusted damages bonuses from strength/dexterity for it (more heavily focused toward strength)
  • Option to show miniature icons for potions of each belt slot above the main 4 slots (alternative to having the belt open and all 16 large slots visible)
  • Blade Shield will no longer reduce durability (this means it will trigger "on striking" effects instead of "on attack" effects) and it will have a bit more range
  • New unique item (work-in-progress): energy-themed ghost spear (concept and artwork by AerinOboros)
  • New unique map (work-in-progress): "fallen gardens", small secondary zone "diamond gate" where the boss will be (made by Alma)
