New leagues info and discussion.

Info from the new video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxxSuuPnESM#t=25m10s

New softcore league - Domination: Shrines appear within the gameworld, surrounded by strong enemies granting them auras or spawning ground ice/fire. Players can touch the shrine, at the risk of being near the stronger enemies, to gain the benefits of the shrine for 30 seconds and move around the buff, spreading around ice/ice yourself or giving an aura to yourself and fellow players.

New hardcore league - Nemesis: No shrines, but new rare boss monster mods. Nemesis rare boss mod examples include exploding on death, resurrection as a spectre or reflecting projectiles. Reminiscent of Diablo 3 magic/rare monster mods. Supposedly, rare monsters can only have 1 Nemesis mod on them and are particularly noticable.


Just wanted to make a thread to have everyone discussing the new leagues in one spot. I like what I see of shrines!

great, another reason not to play melee ...

So in addition there will be "Rogue Exiles" in all 4 leagues?

I am looking forward to some hardcore nemesis fights

They're confirmed to be a part of the base game, so unless they're specifically removed like some items were in the past leagues, I'm gonna assume they'll still be in the new leagues.

cant watch the video atm, but is there any increased dmg/movement speed etc for monstes this time? or only the rare monster mods?

Supposedly there's no other modifiers on nemesis other than the stronger rare monsters.

Did Chris explicitly say that there are no other modifiers? It's possible he was just listing one of multiple changes.

No confirmation, but rare boss mods were the only thing mentioned about nemesis and I can imagine they'd like onslaught to be unique to itself rather than the baseline of what every new league needs to be.

That doesn't sound interesting to me at all. Hopefully, there will be more in new leagues.
