Season 7 Spoilers

Pre-Beta Spoilers from Dev Streams Spoilers from Dev Stream #1 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 Spoilers from Dev Stream #2 TBA Closed Beta Spoilers TBA Open Beta Spoilers TBA
