The dev blog spotlight falls on system changes, Legendary item improvements, magic find update, class changes and of course the patch notes ”shortly before the update goes live.”
”The Diablo III developers have been hard at work on some exciting new features and updates for the game,” posted Blizzard on the official Battle.net forums.
”Many of you have asked for more details, and we’re busily preparing several developer blogs filled with information on what’s coming in patch 1.0.4.” The studio will also put some work behind ”some interviews and developer chats surrounding patch 1.0.4, and we’ll be sharing those on the Diablo III front page.”
Here are the preview plans for 1.0.4 as they stand:
• System Changes, by Wyatt Cheng
Senior Technical Game Designer Wyatt Cheng is preparing a high-level summary of some of the system changes planned for 1.0.4
•Legendary Item Improvements, by Andrew Chambers
Senior Game Designer Andrew Chambers is working on a blog detailing all the ways we’re making Legendary items stand out.
•Magic Find Update, by Jay Wilson
Following up on earlier discussions, Game Director Jay Wilson will be providing an update on how Magic Find is evolving in patch 1.0.4.
•Class Changes, by Wyatt Cheng
Wyatt will also be providing a preview of the changes we’ll be making for each class in 1.0.4 (and the philosophy behind those changes).
•Patch Notes, by Lylirra
Of course, this is all building up to the actual patch 1.0.4 release, and we’ll be releasing the full patch notes shortly before the update goes live.
