Meh. New leagues seem OK, nothing special, challenges seems like a waste of development time, they don't reward us at all either, and no a "sense of accomplishment" is not a reward, it would of been better to develop a full achievement system with rewards for some things than just release this as a "test". And by rewards I mean cosmetic things, things on the same level as micro-transactions but only obtainable by completing that achievement. The new base items cool, the fact they only drop in special leagues that most people won't care about, not cool. The re-balance of HP and monster damage is a waste of time, all you have done is lower the numbers, you have not made it any easier or harder than it currently is (And please, do not fucking nerf things again for the casual moronic plague, that isn't what this game is and you have said that since day 1, it's not D3). The new currency orb seems cool I guess, just makes it easier to get good items though, again, not really needed. And the health bars are cool.


Also those challenges are fucking terrible. Reach 60 in every class? Use 1 of each map in the device? Receive 34 specific items from vendor recipes? Own a specific set of uniques?

Honestly, those challenges are absolutely fucking TERRIBLE. Abysmal even, what a joke. They are leagues because people want to compete to be #1, not level 1 of every fucking class to 60. And then you want people to use one of every map, how do you expect most people to even get the higher tier maps? How do you expect that to happen when at the same time they have to level one of every fucking class? Then there is the uniques, nobody is going to fucking trade them when they want them themselves, you would have to be incredibly lucky to find them yourself.

I'm not even going to bother playing with the challenges, the only reason to play these is the items that only drop in a specific league, which btw is a bad idea too.

It makes the game easier for newbies, doesn't "help" them. There's also a downside to it, as you'll quickly find the rares you're picking up are worthless where-as they were decent a month ago. Reminds you of another game?

"We've reduced all monster damage and have made corresponding reductions to player Life and Energy Shield passive skills."

Monsters do less damage, but you'll also have less hp to take that damage.

How does this reduce the need for hp nodes?
The way I see it, you need less hp, but to achieve that hp you need the same amount of nodes. this doesn't seem to solve anything, because overall, you're going to have to spend an equal amount of points on hp nodes than before, leaving little to no points for dmg nodes.

You've saved up the 1500 or so Orbs of Fusing to potentially six-link an item that you currently use, but are worried that if you use all the orbs you might end up with less sockets than you started with, rendering your character unusable. If you use an Eternal Orb on it, you're able to lock in your current sockets and restore them if the fusing operation is unsuccessful.
