Finally, Diablo 3 opened the test of Patch 1.08 on PTR. It has been brewing for a long time, and makes me feel nothing special. Whatever, go and have an experience.
First, the mouse is locked inside the window. I think this small feature should be added earlier. Demon hunter players would know that we can’t fight but only play in kite-flying style if you are in poor equipments. When it comes to window mode, it’s very easy to point outside the window in a sudden as the mouse point back and forth. The result would be very sad. Actually it’s like League of Legend, press the esc key and the mouse can move out. This should be minor design problem of the game. Perhaps only players like me would have such bad operation.
This patch is designed to encourage Multiplayer. MF and GF in a team can improve as high as 30%. Of course you can get more equipment and Diablo 3 gold. Although the ratio is not very high, it’s better compared with the original settings. Second, a reminder function added. If your teammates are in the same map or you are in the town, it will remind you when the team found goblins or elites, so you can explore the map together more easily.
If you have a good friend to play with you, a team is certainly not a problem. But when you’re alone, you can only choose system matching team in the past, and you do not know what you should do or may go far from where you want. Now a group search function added, with which you just input your keywords, such as brush keys, upgrades, PK and so on, thus improving the accuracy and convenience of the team and the interaction among players.
There are some more changes. What the players care most are changes in skills. There are little changes in roles in this version which is after a long time of Patch 1.07. In general, it turns out to be a disappointment to me. With the “Identify All” function can not change the fact that all the drops turned out to be junks. The game should lower the drop rate of equipment as soon as possible. My ideal state is most of the players are equipped with magical and rare Diablo 3 items. Legendary equipments occur only once in a month in the game. The equipment system now is terrible. But i am still looking forward to the next version.
