Diablo 3 Beta Patch 5 – Die aktuellen Patchnotes

Seit ein paar Tagen sind die Diablo 3 Test-Server wieder online und nun mit Beta-Patch 5 verfügbar, der doch einige teils erhebliche Änderungen in sich birgt. Zunächst föllt ins natürlich ins Auge, die Überarbeitung vieler UI-Elemente, die nun wesentlich besser aussehen. Doch Blizzard hat sich in den letzten Wochen bei der Arbeit am aktuellen Diablo 3 Beta-Patch ganz offensichtlich nicht nur auf optische Veränderungen beschränkt.

diablo3-beta-nephalem-altar_newsbild Skills, die man zuvor beliebig wechseln konnte, sind nun nur noch an einem neuen Objekt, dem Nephalem-Altar austauschbar. Dieser befindet sich nun in Neu Tristram (direkt neben Deckard Cain‘s Behausung, die nun zugänglich ist, in der sich außer mehreren Ausgaben seines Journals aber noch nichts Nennenswertes befindet), aber auch direkt am Eingang zur Kathedrale stößt man nach dem Patch auf einen solchen Altar.

Beim Spiel direkt bemerkbar macht sich auch die verkürzte Heildauer der Health-Globes, die man mit dem Zauberer doch wesentlich nötiger hatte, als vor dem aktuellen Patch. Der Grund: die ebenfalls neue Bemessung des Zauberschadens auf Grundlage des Waffenschadens. Dadurch teilt der Magier Anfangs deutlich weniger aus, als vor dem Patch, was natürlich öfter zu Feindkontakt führt. So war man schon froh, dass Griswold’s Edge – übrigens nun kein legendärer Gegenstand mehr – einem zunächst wenigstens ein paar Prozentpünktchen mehr Schaden austeilen ließ.

Da dem Patch alte Charaktere samt gehorteter Goldmünzen zum Opfer fallen, hat man erst nach Cains Rettung wieder an die 750 Gold zusammen, um einen geeigneten Staab beim Händler zu erstehen, was eine Verdreifachung des ausgeteilten Schadens und somit instant Kills zur Folge hatte. Abgesehen davon, dass es nun natürlich erst des Findens einer Waffe bedarf, um als Caster ordentlich austeilen zu können, fällt diese Änderung also bislang eher nicht ins Gewicht.

Was sich mit Beta-Patch 5 noch alles geändert hat, hier seht Ihr eine Übersicht von allen Patchnotes.

Diablo 3 Beta Patch 5 – v.0.3.1. 7728

General

All characters have been wiped. As part of this process, artisans, gold, and items (including those placed on the auction house or in a shared stash) have also been reset.

Switching out class skills will now require the use of a new feature known as the Nephalem Altar. Nephalem Altars are currently located in New Tristram, as well as in key locations throughout Act I. Clicking on an altar will open up the skill UI, allowing both active and passive skills to be selected or exchanged.
