===Pre-Beta===
Line 49 ⟶ 53:
====Spoilers from Dev Stream #1====
VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2085940286
* League Name -- Anarchy: April 12 start, open beta April 8-10, closed beta March 30 - April 7
* Crafting infusions will be staying, but will be treasure fallen event exclusive item
* Treasure fallen loot table changes from crafting season (i.e. can drop higher runes) will stay minus puzzle pieces, but will no longer spawn in LoD
* Next Hit Always Misses bug fixed (was common with Zeal
* Melee hit checks simplified: will do an initial target range check to move character into hit range, and then the secondary range check is more lenient if monster moves after initial target
* Reduced volume level of main menu music
Line 61 ⟶ 65:
* Necro Poison Dagger poison cloud larger
* Increased maximum sprite limit in game, will no longer have graphics go invisible when too much is on screen (aka Shenk Bug)
* Added commands for player statistics
* Top 3 99s, DClone Tier 2, Rathma Tier 2 all get account
* TBA changes to Dungeon Boss farming
* Skills no longer have a cooldown when in town - summon QoL when starting a run
Line 69 ⟶ 73:
* Uber Tristram house cheese is gone, players and monsters can no longer go in the houses
* Pally Charge now hits non-namelocked monsters; would do a ghost attack that would miss if a monster was not namelocked
* Standard of Heroes now only dropped from Uber Ancients, no longer drops in Uber
====Spoilers from Dev Stream #2====
VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2092631267
* Base density of all maps increased 50%; reduced density from (non-corruption) affixes by the same amount --> less map rerolling because base density will be higher (higher floor, same ceiling without corruptions, higher ceiling with corruptions)
* Added descriptions to map orbs for base game in case you are not running lootfilter
* Can filter games by difficulty in game menu
* New UI when creating a game - buttons for selecting game server instead of typing GS in description

* Blood Golems will have open wounds damage per second
* Druid Arctic Blast now causes monsters to "shatter" in cold AoE upon death
* Reduced delay to re-enter town portals
* Removing rune cost requirements for higher tiers of uber fights to improve accessibility; cubing the uber item by itself will cycle between difficulties
* Work in progress: rebalancing defense values on all armors - leaning towards reduction on lighter armors, increase on heavier armors (higher strength requirements will generally mean higher defense)
* Investigating making summon level auto-scale to player skill level to prevent snapshot abuse (still undecided)
* Evaluating dungeon improvements - want to make more group-oriented and incentivize
