Battle.net announces
details about the upcoming version 2.4.2 patch for
Diablo III. This will
bring changes to adventure mode, new and updated items, UI changes, and new
difficulty levels, as they are turning the Torment up to XIII. Here's what they
say:
New Difficulty Levels
With new power comes a desire to test your strength. If you’ve sharpened your
weapons on Torment X and are ready for new challenges, you’ll be happy to hear
we’ve added Torment XI–XIII difficulties to the game, and filled them with
progressively better loot—so get out there and wreck face, nephalem!
New and Updated Items
As with previous patches, Patch 2.4.2 brings updates to many Legendary and Set
Items and also adds a few new items and Legendary powers. Here are some of the
items we’ve updated, and don’t forget to check out our PTR patch notes for all
the details.
User Interface Updates
Finally, we have a few changes to the user interface. Those who enjoy taking
screenshots will soon have a hotkey that hides the in-game UI for cleaner shots.
We’re also adding unique pylon minimap icons to Nephalem Rifts and Greater
Rifts, and a unique icon for the Menagerist Treasure Goblin.
Adventure Mode Changes
We’re also sweetening Adventure Mode rewards, starting with Nephalem Rifts.
You’re now guaranteed a Greater Rift Key when completing any Rift, with a chance
to get a second (or even a third) key as you increase the game’s difficulty.
We’ve also adjusted drop rates for Infernal Machines, with a 100% drop chance in
Torment IV, and an increasing chance for a second machine to drop as you go up
in difficulty.
