Diablo 3 PTR 2.7.3 – Anteprima Blog: nuovo tema stagionale, modifiche ai Varchi Maggiori e agli oggetti

Nota della Redazione di Diablo Italia Fans
Ci siamo presi il rischio di abbozzare una traduzione per i nuovi eventi ed oggetti che verranno introdotti dalla prossima patch visto che ancora non c’è stata e probabilmente non ci sarà una localizzazione del post. Diteci cosa ne pensate delle possibili traduzioni tenendo a mente che nella versione finale potrebbero variare.

Il periodo di test PTR di due settimane per l’aggiornamento 2.7.3 inizia oggi, giovedì 10 marzo e Blizzard torna a chiedere l’aiuto dei giocatori per sedare le maree di demoni in aumento. Date un’occhiata alle note preliminari della patch e iniziate a formulare teorie su come sfruttare al meglio il nuovo tema stagionale “Echoing Nightmare” (che forse verrà tradotto in Incubo Echeggiante NdRedazione), gli aggiornamenti del bilanciamento e i cambiamenti ai Varchi Maggiori; la patch 2.7.3 PTR arriverà presto.

Nuovo tema della stagione

La Stagione 26 introduce Echoing Nightmare (Incubo Echeggiante/Riecchegiante), una sfida opzionale e gratificante di end-game in cui i giocatori combattono all’interno dei ricordi dei Nefilim caduti in battaglia all’interno di un Varco Maggiore. I Nefilim di oggi devono resistere finché non vengono inevitabilmente sopraffatti o sconfitti. I giocatori dovranno raccogliere un Petrified Scream (Urlo Pietrificato?) dai Guardiani della Varco Maggiore sconfitti per entrare nell’Echoing Nightmare (Incubo Echeggiante). Trasmutare un Petrified Scream (Urlo Pietrificato?) nel Cubo di Kanai evocherà un portale in cui i giocatori potranno entrare per affrontare gli orrori del passato dei Nefilim.

Dettagli sul tema della stagione

• Petrified Scream (Urlo Pietrificato) e Echoing Nightmare (Incubo Echeggiante) sono accessibili solo con personaggi stagionali.
• Solo un giocatore deve trasmutare un Petrified Scream (Urlo Pietrificato) per aprire un Echoing Nightmare (Incubo Echeggiante) in una partita multiplayer.
• Come in un incontro con un boss, tutti i giocatori in una partita multigiocatore devono accettare una richiesta per entrare.
• All’interno di un Echoing Nightmare, la difficoltà aumenta man mano che i giocatori avanzano nell’incontro. I giocatori possono progredire più velocemente sconfiggendo più rapidamente i mostri.
• I giocatori ricevono le seguenti ricompense dopo aver completato un Echoing Nightmare: EXP, oggetti leggendari, frammenti di sangue, gemme e una nuova gemma leggendaria, Sussurro di espiazione.
• Il Whisper of Atonement (Sussurro dell’espiazione) è una gemma leggendaria usata esclusivamente per potenziare gli oggetti leggendari antichi. Viene rilasciata in base alla performance del giocatore nell’Echoing Nightmare.

Nota degli sviluppatori
Questo è il nostro primo Tema stagionale che introduce una nuova attività nel gioco. Nell’Echoing Nightmare (Incubo Echeggiante/Riecheggiante), i giocatori vivranno un evento intenso, denso e sempre più impegnativo che metterà a dura prova la loro capacità di rimanere in lotta il più a lungo possibile. Abbiamo trovato ispirazione nell’avvertimento di Orek: “Molti Nefilim si sono fermati dove sei ora, ma pochi sono riusciti a superare le prove”. The Echoing Nightmare esplora ciò che è successo a quei Nefilim che non hanno avuto successo.

Bilanciamenti alle classi e cambiamenti

“Per garantire che i cambiamenti di classe più significativi ricevano un’ampia attenzione, ci piacerebbe che concentraste i vostri test e feedback sui cambiamenti dei set di Barbaro, Crociato e Monaco.” Queste infatti le classi protagoniste delle modifiche evidenziate da questa futura patch e uno dei nodi principali di test del PTR, che vede sicuramente come protagonista il Barbaro.

Di seguito trovate le note complete della Patch 2.7.3 PTR (in inglese), riprese dal blog ufficiale Blizzard. Oltre alle novità evidenziate troverete anche aggiornamenti ai Varchi Maggiori, sono state infatti aggiunte 3 mappe e ne sono state rimosse 2 dal pool dei Greater Rift.

PTR Focus & Details

We’ll be conducting the Patch 2.7.3 PTR starting Thursday, March 10. During this time there may be periodic maintenances, outages, hotfixes, or minor patches.

• There will be PTR-unique buffs active to help you on your journey: increased experience gains, and double Blood Shard drops. You can also buy new gear for testing from the special PTR vendor, Djank Mi’em, who will exchange Blood Shards for class-specific bags full of Legendary items that we’d love for you to test! Read down below to learn more on the new vendor updates that have been implemented to assist in the PTR experience starting with PTR 2.7.3.
• Class and Balance Changes: To ensure that the most significant class changes receive an ample amount of attention, we’d love for you to focus testing and feedback on the set changes to the Barbarian, Crusader, and Monk.
• New Season Theme Testing: We’re looking to gather feedback on the seasonal content around Echoing Nightmare.

So that we can efficiently review your posts, feedback should be provided in the PTR Feedback forum while bug reports should be provided in the PTR Bug Report forum.

PTR Testing Tips

As with our previous PTRs, this testing period is short, so it’s best to hit the ground running. Whether you’re a PTR veteran or newcomer, we thought we’d pass along a few tips to get you started.

• Because of the limited duration of this PTR, we ask that participants pick a particular portion of this update to focus on testing.
  • For example, if you’re primarily a Wizard player, consider what changes impact the Wizard specifically. What you like best, what you think may still need adjustment, and what you’d want to see in the future (even if that may be beyond the scope of this patch) are all good questions to ask yourself.
• Try to break things! Just tell us when you do so we can make sure that the patch launch is as smooth as possible.
• When providing feedback, focus less on a solution and more on your experience. How did the changes make you feel? Was there something “off” that you noticed? Did something seem wrong or insufficient? Suggestions are always welcome but identifying the issues themselves is most important.

Patch Notes

Di seguito troverai le note della patch per il prossimo aggiornamento di Diablo III, Patch 2.7.3.

Table of Contents:

1. Seasons
2. Greater Rift Updates
3. PTR Updates
4. Item Changes

1. Seasons

New Season Theme: Season 26 introduces the Echoing Nightmare, an optional and rewarding end-game challenge where players fight within the memories of Nephalem who fell in a Greater Rift. Today’s Nephalem must stand their ground until they are inevitably Overwhelmed or defeated. Players must collect a Petrified Scream from defeated Greater Rift Guardians to gain entry to the Echoing Nightmare. Transmuting a Petrified Scream in Kanai’s Cube summons a portal that players can enter to face the horrors of the Nephalem’s past.

Season Theme Details:

• Petrified Screams and the Echoing Nightmare can only be accessed with seasonal characters.
• Only one player is required to transmute a Petrified Scream to open an Echoing Nightmare in a multiplayer game.
• Similar to a boss encounter, all players in a multiplayer game must accept a prompt to enter.
• While within an Echoing Nightmare, the difficulty scales as players progress in the encounter. Players can progress faster by defeating monsters quickly.
• Players receive the following rewards upon completing an Echoing Nightmare: EXP, Legendary Items, Blood Shards, Gems, and a new Legendary Gem, Whisper of Atonement.
• The Whisper of Atonement is a Legendary Gem used exclusively for Augmenting Ancient Legendary items. It drops pre-ranked based upon player’s performance in the Echoing Nightmare.

Developer’s Note: This is our first Seasonal Theme that introduces a new activity to the game. In the Echoing Nightmare, players will experience an intense, densely packed, increasingly challenging event that stretches their ability to stay in the fight as long as possible. We found inspiration in Orek’s warning, “Many nephalem have stood where you are now, but few succeeded in overcoming the trials.” The Echoing Nightmare explores what happened to those Nephalem who did not succeed.

Developer’s Note: We wanted to improve the Greater Rift experience through quality of life updates, balance changes and addressing community feedback. We reviewed all of the maps and monsters that appear in Greater Rifts and reworked the probabilities overall to make sure players spend more time with the content they enjoy. Less spaghetti and more chickens.

4. Item Changes

Barbarian

• Legacy of Raekor (4-piece Bonus): Furious Charge gains the effect of every rune and deals 1000% increased damage. For every 1% Life you are missing, the damage of your Ancient Spear is increased by 2%.
• Legacy of Raekor (6-piece Bonus): Hitting enemies with Furious Charge increases the damage of your next Ancient Spear by 5500% and causes it to release multiple spears from its target. This effect stacks and is consumed from each released spear. This can only consume a maximum of 5 stacks at a time.
• Arreat’s Law: Weapon Throw and Ancient Spear deal 150-200% increased damage.
  • Weapon Throw generates up to 25 additional Fury based on the distance of the enemy hit.
  • Ancient Spear refunds up to 25 Fury based on the distance of the enemy hit.
• The Three Hundredth Spear: Increase the damage of Weapon Throw and Ancient Spear by 150-200%.
• Skular’s Salvation: Increase the damage of Ancient Spear by 150-200%. If your Ancient Spear – Boulder Toss hits 5 or fewer enemies, the damage is increased by 100%.

Developer’s Note: We reworked Raekor’s Legacy to give the set its own identity. It felt natural to the team to infuse the charging fantasy of Raekor’s Legacy with the Barbarian’s ranged skills.

Crusader

• Thorns of the Invoker: The attack speed of Punish and Slash are increased by 100% and deal 67,500% of your Thorns damage.
• Norvald’s Fervor: Gain 200% increased damage while using Steed Charge and for 5 seconds after it ends.

Developer’s Note: Norvald’s Fervor is overperforming across multiple sets. We want to bring its power down, but we are Increasing the utility of Thorns of the Invoker to compensate.

Monk

• Bindings of the Lesser Gods: Enemies hit by your Cyclone Strike take 150%-200% more damage from your Mystic Ally for 5 seconds.

Developer’s Note: We’re happy with the gameplay of Inna’s Mantra Monks, but the Fire build is overperforming, so we removed the Fire Ally bonus from the Bindings of the Lesser Gods.
