Diablo 3: Preview - Adventure Mode

The 2.3 patch to Diablo III will be bringing big changes into the game. In the latest preview of some of the larger pieces of the game to undergo the developer "knife", adventure mode is in the spotlight.

To begin with, crafting has been slimmed down, both in terms of the number of reagents needed to craft items and in the number of recipes to which each crafter has access. The driving force, according to the team, is to make all materials viable for crafting across the levels and to make created items more meaningful and useful.

Bounties will only be available in one act at a time. Once completed, a new bounty in another act will appear and continue to do so as long as players are in a game and even repeat at times. Devs want players to cease having to exit the game and restart simply for a chance at an act-specific bounty.

The Realm of Trials has been removed and the following changes are in place for both Greater and Nephalim Rifts:

Let’s start with the biggest change that you asked for: the Realm of Trials has been removed from the game. To accommodate this huge change, we’ve reduced the number of Greater Rift keys down to a single, universal type. These new keys are used at the Nephalem Obelisk to enter any level Greater Rift, up to one higher than the highest level you have previously completed (though if you totally crush a Greater Rift, you can still move up to 3 ranks at a time). In addition, we’ve removed Rift Fragments from the game. Nephalem Rifts are now open to players of all levels and difficulty, requiring no special key to access.

Infernal Machines do not have to be crafted any more and  the recipes have been removed. Hellfire amulets, when crafted, will have a guaranteed socket.

    My friend is addicted to video games, he farmed me some sick gear so I can carry his alts through t6. His witch doctor leveled 47 times in one run, it took about 5 minutes of just sitting and doing nothing while all the leveling announments were made. He went from 1 to 47 in about 35 minutes, at the end of the third rift he was level capped. I don't know if the gear he gave my crusader is bis but holy cow can I dish out the damage, I can use arakats champion non stop too, it's like hulk mode 100% of the time

    thats a really fun crusader build, question is how did he give you the gear?

    he dropped it near his chest and told me to pick it up and put it on but if I stop playing to give it back to him, he was dead serious too

    Soon™   

    I have seen posters say later this month but really we don't know.

    They stated that they wanted Season 3 to be 4 months long and that started on April 10th, the 4 months are up on August 10th which is next week, on top of that we have the downtime of moving the stuff that was on Season 3 to the non season then Se4son will start, so we are typically looking towards the end of August for Se4son, so not long to wait really.

    I just hope they listened this time and agreed that 4 months is too long and 3 months is more than enough for a season, players start to dwindle off and do something else while waiting for the next season to start.
