Patch 2.6.6 og Season of the Triune kan afprøves på PTR

Den nye patch tilføjer nye items, mange nye legendary powers samt ændringer til mange sæt-bonuser.

Patch 2.6.6 kommer til at åbne op for nye builds, da både nye items og nye legendary powers bliver tilføjet.

- PTR er åben fra 25. juli og en uge frem. Både patch og season buff kan afprøves.

- Der er ikke endnu nogen dato for endelig udgivelse af patchen på live servers, ligesom der ikke er nogen dato for start på den nye sæson.

With Patch 2.6.4, we started a new process for testing content both internally and externally that worked well for our production schedule and helped ensure that we received focused, actionable player feedback. We’re going to continue using this process for Patch 2.6.6, with a one-week PTR to test the full extent of Season 18.

We’ve acted on your feedback and we’re introducing new powers across a number of existing Legendaries that previously had none. A brand new, unique Season buff for the Season of the Triune aims to change your moment-to-moment game play right from level one, so what are you waiting for? Jump in and get a taste of what Season 18 has to offer!

PTR Details

We’ll be conducting the Patch 2.6.6 PTR over the course of one week,starting Thursday, July 25. During the course of the PTR, there may be periodic maintenances, outages, hotfixes, or minor patches.

There will betwo buffsactive to help you on your PTR journey:increased Legendary drop rateanddouble Blood Shard drops. This should allow everyone to acquire any new items (or supplemental items) that they might need for testing!

Feedbackshould be provided in the PTR Feedback forum, whilebug reports should be provided in the PTR Bug Report forum. Clearly separating these tracks allows our designers and quality assurance testers to home in on the information they need most.

PTR Goals

With another new game-impacting Seasonal buff and several beefy boosts to Legendary items, we know it’ll be very tempting to get your hands on as much as you can! To help guide your focus, here are our priorities in terms of what we’d most like to see tested.

Players pushing Greater Rifts as high as possible with the new item changes listed below

PTR Tips

As with our previous PTRs, this testing period will have a short duration. Whether you’re a PTR veteran or newcomer, we thought we’d pass along a few tips to get you started.

Because of the limited duration of this PTR, we ask that participants pick a particular portion of this update to focus on testing.
- For example, if you’re primarily a Wizard player, consider what changes impact the Wizard specifically. What you like best, what you think may still need adjustment, and what you’d want to see in the future (even if that may be beyond the scope of this patch) are all good questions to ask yourself.
Prior to the start of PTR, consider stocking up on items like Puzzle Rings and Bovine Bardiches. Having these available after you import your character can make any necessary PTR farming much faster!
Try to break things!Just tell us when you do so we can make sure that the patch launch is as smooth as possible.
When providing feedback, focus less on a solution and more on your experience. How did the changes make you feel? Was there something “off” that you noticed? Did something seem wrong or insufficient? Suggestions are always welcome, but identifying the issues themselves is most important.

Seasons

The buff for Season 18, the Season of the Triune, has been added
- Triune's Will: All abilities have a chance when hitting an enemy to spawn a circle that gives a power. Only one circle can be active at a time.
  - Power: Players in the circle receive a 100% damage bonus while active
  - Resource Reduction: Players in the circle receive a 50% discount on resources spent while active
  - Cooldown Reduction: While standing in an active circle, any skills currently on cooldown come off of cooldown more quickly
- Developer Comment:The last couple of Seasonal buffs have been focused primarily on end-game content. We wanted to try something different this Season with a buff that was more beneficial to players regardless of where they might be in their Season Journey. Triune's Will can come into play as early as level 1 and continue to make an impact on your game experience from the beginning to the end of the Season, and we're looking forward to seeing how players leverage this ever-changing boost throughout their adventures!

Items

Developer Note:There are additional specific notes below, but broadly for 2.6.6, we wanted to introduce a handful of new item powers targeted at two audiences: (1) certain classes with long-standing requests for balance/quality of life adjustments and (2) the broader player base for experimenting with Kanai's Cube. This means fewer class-specific new additions, but more additions that everyone has an opportunity to play with. We also experimented with making some of the craftable sets from Haedrig more appealing for fresh level 70's or players looking to maximize their farming runs. We hope to see some interesting new theorycrafting and tactics out of 2.6.6 and can't wait to see what the community does with this new loot!
Flavor of Time
- New Legendary Power:Pylon effects last twice as long.
The Executioner
- New Legendary Power:Attacks will slay enemies with less than (5-10%) health.
Stone Gauntlets
- New Legendary Power:Getting attacked will slowly turn you to stone... (You gain 50% more armor, but your movement speed is reduced by 15% and attack speed is reduced by 20%. This effect stacks up to 5 times)
Echoing Fury
- New Legendary Power:Slaying enemies engulfs the wielder into a Frenzy. (Killing enemies increases your attack speed by 15% and movement speed by 5%. This effect stacks up to 5 times)
Squirt's Necklace
- New Legendary Power:While not taking damage, your damage is increased by up to 100% and damage taken is increased by up to 50%.
Messerschmidt's Reaver
- New Legendary Power:Reduce the remaining cooldown of one of your skills by 1 second when you slay an enemy.
Mortick's Brace
- New Legendary Item:Wrath of the Berserker gains the effect of every rune.
- Developer's Note:If you played during the Patch 2.2.0 PTR, you'll recognize this as an item that was later removed from the game before it went to live servers. At the time, Mortick's Brace gave too much power for a single item slot. However, the power curve of Diablo III has changedsignificantlysince then and we're comfortable with bringing it back.
Spite
- Note:This item can be crafted from the Blacksmith and is not a normal loot drop
- New Legendary Power:Non-cleaving Gargantuans gain the cleave and chilling effects of the Humongoid rune.
Legacy of Dreams
- New Legendary Gem:
  - While you have no set bonuses equipped, every Legendary item you have equipped increases your damage dealt by 3.75% and reduces your damage taken by 2%. (Max level 99)
  - Rank 25: This bonus is doubled for Ancient items.
- Developer's Note:The end game opened up significantly with Season 17's Legacy of Nightmare's buff (and the community was clear about how much these new options were appreciated), but wanted to make this addition a more permanent fixture in a more streamlined way than simply making it baseline. This Legendary Gem should open that path up even further and at more opportunities than just late game Greater Rift pushing.
Crafted Sets
- Note:The following sets have been significantly revised from their existing level 70 counterparts. Items crafted prior to 2.6.6 will continue to exist in their old forms but willnotbe updated after the patch. In addition, after the patch, the old recipes will no longer be available to craft and all players will need to re-acquire these recipes by finding the plans again through Horadric Caches or by killing Odious Collectors.
- Sage's Journey
  - A Belt has been added to this set.
  - Haedrig the Blacksmith now automatically learns how to forge this set at Rank 12.

Spændende!

Jeg snakkede også med en kammerat om, hvad de mon ville gøre med næste season buff, om de måske ville fortsætte med at køre ringe/amu buffs (fx CoE eller Endless Walk på altid)... Vi tvivlede begge på at de ville gå tilbage til de mindre indgribende buffs (som fx double treasure goblin spawn). Men det er sjovt så at se, at de har taget det i en helt anden retning og tilføjer helt nye gameplay elementer.

Også fint med buff til det normale LoN build.

De nye leg powers - Morticks er selvfølgelig vild. Derudover synes jeg Squirt's, EF og Messerschmidt's reaver ser potentielt mest interessante ud.

For EF vil jeg gerne se hvor lang tid buffen varer...
For Squirt's er spørgsmålet også, hvor lang tid der skal gå hvor man ikke tager skade. Men det ville da være interessant til et party/summon build tænker jeg. Eller skal der meget range til.
Reaver er nok kun til cuben, men det kunne måske være i stedet for In-Geom for visse builds?

Flavor of time kunne måske bruges af builds der alligevel "bare" bruger hellfire amulet, men det er jo selvfølgelig langt mindre consistent end en permanent buff fra amu.

Bestemt en spændende patch. Lækkert at se, at de stadig smider nyt ind i spillet.

Jeg er lidt mere lunken ift. season buff. Der er vel egentlig også nogle builds, der ikke vil kunne drage ret meget nytte af de tre typer 'bobler' - f.eks. WW barb.

Der kan jeg sgu bedre lide buffs, der ikke dikterer positionering af sin character.

Og så havde jeg lidt håbet, at de ville afskaffe RoRG eller i hvert fald LoN-ringene og gøre buffa fra de sidste to sæsoner til noget permanent.

Derudover forsøger jeg som hardcore-spiller at tænke mig til et build, hvor Stone Gauntlets måske ville være en game changer på hardcore. Er der nogen, der har afprøvet dem endnu og bemærket varigheden af effekten?

Umiddelbart ser det ud til at REAVER kan bruges på sin follower (enchantress), total win!

Har afprøvet EF i cuben og det fungere rigtig fint til et WW build. Men der er så mange fede changes i 2.6.6 og også en del som jeg overhovedet ikke havde set komme

( Man kunne jo gøre sig de tanker at de "nurser" lidt om deres community frem til en forhåbentlig reveal af D4 soon

)

Men det bliver en spændende season som jeg ser meget frem til.

Jeg har spillet en char op på sc season PTR så hvis nogen vil have et bette boost, så skriv endelig

Det er jo heller ikke alle classes, eller playstyles, der havde lige stor gavn af LoN kan man sige.

jeg synes måske ikke buffen i sig selv er så super fed, men mere det at de er villige til at lave ændringer der ikke allerede er "en del" af spillet. Jeg synes tværtimod ikke det gør noget at der kommer et lille ekstra element i forhold til optimal positionering - så længe buffen er stor nok - og ja, selvfølgelig nogle builds der ikke kan bruge det, men...

Jeg synes selv det er fint at de hellere vil prøve at buffe LoN builds, i stedet for bare at gøre LoN passiv permanent. Om den legendary gem er nok er så spørgsmålet.
