* Traps will now display icons & quantity in the upper left (like minions)

* Drop rate for exclusive uber items will be increased slightly
* Shrines will buff all nearby players when clicked
* Deep Wounds will be fixed (it is currently bugged and has an unintended damage cap of ~1024 damage per source)
* 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)

* season start date revealed (September 22)

* Fixed damage/tooltip bugs with Dragon Tail
* Adjusted kick damage bonuses from strength/dexterity (will be heavily focused toward strength rather than ''purely'' strength-based)
* 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)

* New item codes:
** Fallen Gardens (unique map) - t53

*** Infused Arcane Orb - irma
*** Infused Zakarum Orb - irra
*** Infused Angelic Orb - rrra
*** Infused Horadric Orb - urma
** Throwing Potions
*** Old throwing potion item codes will be unused but still exist. They will not have the -res% debuff however, and won't drop in the game anymore.
