Game developer Blizzard finally announces in its official blog that the new 2.3.0 patch for Diablo 3 is finally released for Public Test Realm (PTR) and is open for signed up players to test its new features.
The new patch is designed for the Ruins of Sescheron, a new area ready for exploration, filled with new challenges and enemies. Moreover, players will also have the chance to access the Kanai's Cube, a new artisan option which provides a wide array of recipes which offers more choices to customize characters and powers. Another improvement to the game is its Adventure Mode, including enhancement of all the classes.
Ruins of Sescheron is a frozen wasteland filled not only with enemies but also with traps and environmental hazards which turn the odds out of a player's favour. With the entirely new area, one would be able to explore and learn more on the barbarians of Mount Arreat. The Kanai's Cube, on the other hand, is a new item which offers a wide variety of recipes for item customization and cataloguing one's Legendary powers. Some recipes include: Extract Legendary Power, Reforge a Legendary Item, Upgrade Rare Item, Convert Set Item, Remove Level Requirement, Convert Gems, and Convert Crafting Materials. In order to acquire such artisan item, one must visit Zoltun Kulle in Adventure Mode either in Hidden Cam
p, Bastion's Keep Stronghold, or The Survivor's Enclave. Meanwhile, the Season Journey interface enables each player to approach a new Season quite differently with more emphasis on individual success. This feature enables a player to track one's personal progress on the game. Each Season is divided into chapters with its respective goals and achievements. As a player progresses through the Season, milestones turn to be more challenging. A new portrait frame will be unlocked for completing the highest level Tiers.
Moreover, the crafting system was also improved for easier crafting. The Adventure Mode rewards additional Horadric Caches to players for completing bonus bounties. Each Horadric Cache enables act on specific materials in relation to the updated crafting system. Changes in combat may also be expected which grant more experience by defeating stronger enemies and such changes will also be adapted in rifts as well. New legendaries and sets may also be included in the major improvement. Finally, one of the largest updates to the game is that the difficulty levels will be raised from Torment 6 to Torment 10.
