====Spoilers from Dev Stream #1====
VOD: ?
VOD (2023-03-25): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1775372320
* New D2GL graphical improvement options (in-game menu to enable/disable different features) - Shout out to Bayaraa for making this
** 60 fps (visual only, doesn't change breakpoints)
** HD text/cursor
** HD minimap in upper right
** other options
* DPS counter can be toggled from the settings menu (persists between games) and the DPS now automatically resets after being outside of combat for long enough
* Regular (white) maps can now be stacked
* Ohm Rune now gives +45% enhanced damage (was 40% in s6)
* Stacked materials should be able to have innate descriptions now (may mean lootfilters need to be adjusted)
* Blessed Aim now provides slightly less attack rating, but also provides deadly strike (5% base DS, +1% DS per 2 levels)
* Poison Strike now has Bone Armor as a synergy instead of Poison Nova
* Fixed "increased melee splash radius" (e.g. Tiger Strike, Frenzy, Werebear, Humongous)
* Charge now gains up to 60% increased melee splash radius based on charging distance
* Charge now hits correctly instead of being replaced by a basic attack when in melee range (charge bug should also be fixed)
* Leap Attack will no longer reduce durability, will have slightly more aoe, and will do less damage
* PvP merchants now sell "Dueling Mana Potions" which work normally in PvP arenas and cost very little gold
* Other potions no longer work in PvP arenas
* New map events
** Gheed appears and sells 5 random uniques for 1 million gold each (can be affected by "reduced vendor prices", any unique can appear and the chance for each unique is customized independently of normal gambling chances - currently, each base is weighted by the number of uniques it has, and then if a base has multiple possible uniques, normal weighting applies)
** A special altar will appear that will have some kind of in-map quest (currently a work-in-progress) and reward a new item which can be cubed with map items to give them "map contains a random event"
* All trading should be centralized on the tradesite now that it's working well - discord trading channels will be disabled and the old tradesite will be taken down
* ?

VOD (2023-04-01): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1781876641
''Tentative date'' for s7 is currently April 28 (actual date will be announced next week)

** The default difficulty (level 0) will be lower, but the exclusive unique equipment items won't drop (Annihilus & Tainted Worldstone Shard will still drop)

*** difficulty level 2 - Ohm
*** difficulty level 3 - Lo
*** difficulty level 4 - Sur <span class="omod"><s>(currently same difficulty as previously)</s></span>

* ?
* New passive Barbarian skill "Deep Wounds" which increases the chance of inflicting open wounds and adds additional damage to open wounds, currently has Grim Ward as a synergy
* Many items that have a chance of inflicting open wounds will have a new stat which adds additional damage to open wounds (reminder: enemies inflicted with open wounds take physical damage over 8 seconds)
** Examples spoiled: [[The Meat Scraper]] (50% chance of OW; +[85-125] OW dps), [[Gut Siphon]] (33% chance of OW; +[350-400] OW dps), [[Messerschmidt's Reaver]] (20% chance of OW; +[250-300] OW dps)
* New "curse resistance" stat which reduces the ''effectiveness'' of enemy curses (currently capped at 50%)

* The current "curse duration reduction" stat (only reduces the ''duration'' of enemy curses) will now cap at 75% instead of 100%
* The base duration of monster curses will be reduced
* Mind Blast changed from dealing pure physical damage to dealing a mix of physical and magic damage (currently seems to be about 30% magic and 70% physical)

* Spirit of Barbs now has a synergy (Carrion Vine) for anyone who wants to invest more into thorns damage

** Attack 2: +20% melee splash radius
** Attack 3: +40% melee splash radius
* Feral Rage will no longer add melee splash radius (since Fury does instead)
* New unique maps
** can drop rarely or be gained via corruptions (map corruptions will sometimes tranform the map into a unique)
** 2 unique maps this season - both will be T3 maps and have one or more unique modifiers (in future seasons, additional unique maps will also be made at T1 and T2 levels)
*** '''Zhar's Sanctum'''
**** has 2 charm-themed modifiers: Map boss drops skill charms, Monsters have +[2-5]% chance of dropping additional charms
**** contains 3 portals that lead to smaller miniature map zones (Hidden Waterways, Colonnades of Madness, Counselor's Causeway) where each zone will have a portal at the end, and a random one will lead to the boss: Zhar, the Mad
*** '''Stygian Caverns''' uses an entirely new tileset reminiscient of the caves from Diablo I and has a second zone within it (Stronghold of Acheron) with the boss: Warlord of Blood
* Affix changes (for magic/rare/crafted items)
** Many weaker affixes won't appear on higher level items

====Lootfilter-Related Notes====
{| class="non-table mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"
Mid-season S6 updates you might've missed (see [[Item Filtering]] for details on these):
|+ <h3 style="display:inline; border:0px; padding:0px;">Lootfilter-Related Notes</h3>
* An update broke '''GEMLEVEL''' and replaced it with '''GEM''' (both work in s7)
|-
* New '''MAPTIER''' condition
|
* New '''AUTOMOD''' condition (similar to '''PREFIX''' and '''SUFFIX''')
* New "between" operator '''~''' (tilde symbol) which can specify '''PREFIX''' and '''SUFFIX''' ranges ('''>''' and '''<''' didn't work well with them)
* New '''MULTI#,#''' condition for STAT values that have multiple layers (ctc effects, skill charges, skill groups, auras, reanimate effects)
* We realized '''%STAT-#%''' output keywords have been available all along (renamed to '''%STAT#%''' in s7)
* We realized '''CHARSTAT#''' conditions have been available all along
|}
New s7 features and improvements:
|}
* Hidden gold will now automatically be picked up
* Items names can now use '''%NL%''', so long as the item is identified and its quality is magic or greater
* Added Reload Config to the in-game settings menu
* Added '''EDEF''' which will filter Enhanced Defense
* Added '''EDAM''' which will filter Enhanced Damage
* Added '''GEMLEVEL''' (same as '''GEM''')
* Added '''SOCKETS''' (same as '''SOCK''')
* Added '''%MULTI#,#%''' output keyword, and alternatively-named keywords which each do part of what MULTI can do: '''%SK#%''', '''%OS#%''', '''%CLSK#%''', '''%TABSK#%'''
* Added output keywords for named stats: '''%DEF%''', '''%LIFE%''', '''%MFIND%''', '''%RES%''', etc.
* Renamed '''%STAT-#%''' to '''%STAT#%''' (now matches the input condition)
* All valid conditions will now work with the 'between' ('''~''') operator
* Conditions with negative values should now work more intuitively (prior to this change, something like [REPLIFE>10] would also match items with negative Replenish Life, like Soul Drainer)
Item codes for new items:
* '''t51''' - Zhar's Sanctum (unique map by Alma)
* '''t52''' - The Stygian Caverns (unique map by Aerlynn)
* '''cm2f''' - Hellfire Ashes (stackable "Hellfire Torch" ingredient for Voidstone recipe)
* '''pvpp''' - Dueling Mana Potion (equivalent Super Mana Potion, for PvP arenas only)
* '''iwss''' - Catalyst Shard (adds "Area contains a random event" to maps, drops from new "Altar of the Catalyst" map event)
Bug fixes:
* Fixed a bug with 1H that prevented it from applying to Hand Axes
* Fixed a bug with EQ2 using the wrong armor group (it incorrectly referred to ARMOR instead of CHEST)
* Fixed a bug with EQUIPPED which caused items in the shared stash to be incorrectly considered "equipped"
* Fixed a bug with SHOP that would sometimes cause the condition to incorrectly return true
* Fixed a bug with GEM/GEMLEVEL that prevented unstacked flawless/perfect from filtering properly
* Fixed a bug with Enhanced Defense and Enhanced Damage sometimes returning 0
* Fixed an issue with MINDMG, MAXDMG, & STAT21-24 that would incorrectly filter on base min/max weapon damage instead of +min/+max damage bonuses
* Fixed a bug with PRICE that would cause the condition to incorrectly return false in certain cases
Patch notes which may be relevant for lootfilter authors:
* White maps can now be stacked
* Ohm Rune 40% enhanced damage increased to 45%
* Um Rune +25% open wounds reduced to +20% in weapons, and also has +40 open wounds damage per second in weapons
* Zenith, Pride, Last Wish, Destruction, and Beast can all now be made in staves
* New skill: [[Deep Wounds]] in Barbarian passive skill tree (skill code currently unknown)
Beta issues (may or may not be fixed for s7):
* '''MAPTIER''' doesn't apply to the new unique maps (they should be tier 3)
* These characters currently don't display correctly with the new HD text: ¬, ÷, ±, ¤, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_hyphen soft hyphen] (doesn't show up on wiki)
