This converts the charge system to a "stage" system where your attacks are based on the amount of charges you have or the "stage" you are on and cycle from stages 1-3 and repeat. Finishers are no longer required however if you use one you will cast every stage of every charge you have generated.

Notes

Since D2r ladders will also be 4 months long, PD2's S5 is being delayed until about halfway through the D2r ladder (D2r ladder scheduled to begin April 28th) in order to stagger the reset dates going forward. Since it's been ~4 months from the beginning of S4 and the next season won't be for a while, this mini-league with a twist will be available to anyone itching for a reset.

This means that a curse cast from a unit with increased max curses will allow other units to apply curses up to that limit (E.g., a necromancer player with 2 max curses casts a curse on a monster, if their mercenary casts a curse on the same monster it will stack up to the necromancer's max curse limit) Paladin Thorns synergies increased from 18 to 20% Blessed Aim Attack rating base reduced from +80% to +60% Attack rating per level reduced from +20% to +15% Now provides +5% deadly strike base Now gains +1% deadly strike every 2 levels Might Now grants allies ½ of your personal bonus instead of ⅓ Might damage per level bonus reduced from +25% to +20% Concentration Attack rating base increased from +25% to +50% Attack rating per level increased from +5% to +10% Enhanced damage bonus per level increased from +12% to +15% Now has a ½ penalty for its enhanced damage bonus to allies Fanaticism Enhanced damage per level reduced from +18% to +15% Charge Now gains up to +60% increased melee splash radius based on the distance traveled Will always charge in melee range instead of doing a normal attack “Charge bug” has now been fixed Zeal Now gains +20% melee splash radius on it’s second attack and +40% on it’s third Sacrifice Sacrifice has been reworked: It now causes the killed monster’s corpse to explode after a delay dealing 5% of the monsters health and 150% of the overkill damage dealt to the monster. (This means if you deal 130 damage to a monster and the monster has 100 health then the overkill explosion will deal 5% monster health + 45 damage) This damage is dealt as half physical and half magic

Prime evils will have an aggressive diminishing return however crushing blow will still function all the way to 0% health Reworked throwing potions Throwing potions will now reduce enemies resistances for a short period Two new types of throwing potions have been added for the cold and light elements Added the ability to lock your equipment and charm slots Updated to the newest version of D2GL (Made by Bayaraa) This should fix issues for AMD users Added a new help screen that can be found by pressing H in game Added the ability to infuse a map orb or a stack of map orbs by combining the ingredients with them (This allows you to use just the infused orb alongside a map to complete the recipe) Enabled the recipe to reroll 2 white arrows into a white bolt or vice versa Shrine buffs will now be provided to all allies within proximity Your most recent messages will now be kept within your chat log (L) even when swapping between games When making player reports please include any associated chat logs Fixed mercenaries not activating multiple auras when you change equipment Added a new belt status feature that allows you to monitor the items within your belt The unique TP/ID tomes (Horadric Almanac & Horadric Navigator) now have a very low chance of dropping anywhere (fixed - wasn't mentioned) MAPS Reduced the drop rate of unique maps by 40% Added a new unique map "The Fallen Gardens" which has an increased chance to drop jewels as well as the boss dropping a Rainbow Facet Map Health Prefixes and Suffixes have had the following changes Health bonus tiers rescaled from 10-20% / 20-30% / 30-40% to 5-15% / 15-25% / 25-35% Associated experience bonuses have been increased from 5-6% / 6-7% / 7-8% to 6-8% / 8-10% / 10-12% Reduced the weight of health prefixes and suffixes by 50% Reduced the chance of the Gheed event selling high level items Kadala's Heirloom can now be found on single player Fixed a bug that allowed lower level than intended players to enter maps Increased the drop rates of Horadric Scarabs You can now use a stack of orbs of destruction on multiple maps at a time (fixed - reverted) Guardian of Fate map event monster can no longer be revived Zhar's Sanctum Reduced Heirophant's Blizzard level in Zhar's map 'Hidden Waterways' from level 17 to level 14 Negative all resistance modifier reduced from -30% to -20% to -10% Health modifier increased from 10-30% to 20-30% Stygian Caverns Reduced the size of the "Warlord of Blood" unique map by roughly 20% Fixed a bug that would cause the Warlord of Blood Boss to get stuck outside of the boss arena The "Warlord of Blood" unique map will now only drop corrupted items Stronghold of Acheron density increased by 55% Health modifier increased from 10-30% to 20-30% Dungeons Base experience bonus increased from 40-50% to 60-70% UBERS Reworked the difficulty scaling of Diablo Clone and Rathma into three Tiers Tier 1 is the easy difficulty and cannot drop a rare unique item (Can still drop an anni) Tier 2 is the regular difficulty, can drop the rare uniques and requires between a Vex-Sur to be combined with the Vision of Terror / Voidstone Tier 3 is the hardest difficulty, can drop the rare uniques at an increased rate and requires between a Ber-Zod to be combined with the Vision of Terror / Voidstone.

Season 9 Anarchy - April 12th 2024

Patch Notes S9

Patch Notes Document (Reddit Thread) GENERAL CHANGES Permanent summons will now save between games (This excludes things such as reanimates, revives and ravens) Note: Your summons level is determined by your skill level when entering the new game Separated NHD to be for each missile id + owner combination This means players / traps will no longer cancel out each other's damage when dealing damage to the same target For additional information on Next Hit Delay check out the following link: https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php/Missile Increased sprite limit to prevent "Shenk bug" This bug happened when too many sprites were on screen at once causing things to become temporarily invisible Rewrote a large portion of the server code Reduced volume of menu music Updated player count modifiers for HP from +50% per player to +70% Reduced delay to re-enter town portals (75 frames to 15 frames) Increased the maximum hit chance to 100% The chance to hit above 95% has harsher scaling with attack rating This also means that ignores target defense stats will now grant 100% chance to hit on non boss mobs instead of 95% Added additional melee hit range when checking for damage dealt This should cause melee users to miss less when they attack at max range and a monster walks away from them Interacting with locked equipment or locked charms will now play the "It's locked" sound effect (for real this time) Added strings for other languages Prevent transmute when both a regular key and a Skeleton key are in the cube Prevent cow recipe transmute if the portal is already open Added the follow chat commands for players to check some character statistics (This works on single player as well) Note: These stats are applied to whoever deals the killing blow .kills all (shows total monster kills on the character) .kills bosses (shows total andariel, duriel, mephisto, diablo and baal kills) .kills maps (shows total map boss kills) .kills dungeons (shows total dungeon boss kills) .kills dclone (shows total diablo clone kills and tier 2 diablo clone kills) .kills rathma (shows total rathma kills and tier 2 rathma kills) .kills ubers (shows total uber tristram kills) .kills ancients (shows total uber ancient kills) .kills players (shows total PvP kills) .deaths (total amount of deaths on the character) .played (total character play time) Adjusted exp penalty for levels 20-24 New scaling uses the old up-to-level-24 formula until level 19 instead, and from level 20 onwards we use an adjusted formula based on the vanilla level 25+ formula, that primarily allows better leveling in normal difficulty zones but does not grant much extra experience for higher difficulties until you reach level 25 as in the vanilla game Added a new character bound seasonal achievement aura to any player who reaches level 99 This also works for characters in Single Player The top 3 players of their class will still get account wide versions of the auras infused with lightning Half Freeze Duration now changed so 2x Half Freeze Duration works like Cannot Be Frozen Increased gold stash limit from 5m to 8M Increased player inventory gold limit to 1M, regardless of character level Removed cooldown on skills in town Runes will now always drop in their stacked form Hellforge will now drop stacked gems and runes Changed A4 Light Mercenary skill Holy Nova to Holy Light Multiplayer Added GS selection buttons to the Create Game screen The description textbox will now only be used for game descriptions again Added Difficulty filter buttons to the Join Game screen Added the option to filter by game server by using "gs:" (Thanks @GenjisRevenge) To filter only Game Server 1: gs:1 To filter multiple Game Servers: gs:1,2,5 The Filter textbox on the Join Game screen can now be tabbed into and out of The game list will now start filtering on the 1st character entered, rather than on the 2nd Fixed a bug that caused the game list to be empty when pressing backspace in the Filter textbox Website Game account password reset now available (in your user settings page). The security checks for this are fairly rigorous so be sure to open a website ticket if it rejects you unexpectedly. Dashboard view is now the "home" page when logged in Added a "find similar" functionality when creating listings in order to get price checks Added a "builds" functionality allows you to take a snapshot of character builds so you can save a cool build before deleting them and reusing their name New feature being tested (soon to be released) where you can set your saved filters to auto-notify you in discord when a new matching listing is posted. You must have Discord integration set up for this to work (do this in the user settings page). Loot Filter Item Level/Affix level will now only show on relevant items Glide specific colors will now use their non-glide counterparts when in ddraw mode (previously these would have all been grey) The Settings menu can now be closed with the Esc key (Thanks @Kanzeon) Fixed several crashes when item names were too long and alt was pressed Fixed a crash when an item description was too long Fixed a crash in the gamble screen when using left click to buy an item Fixed a bug where items that should have been filtered were incorrectly shown after going through a portal (Thanks @Kanzeon) Fixed a bug where the item description could cause the item name to vanish Fixed a bug that caused black item text to use the wrong color Fixed a bug which caused item names using Glide colors to get cut off prematurely (Thanks Kanzeon) New %CL% keyword (short for "conditional line") which works the same as %NL% except is ignored if it's the first or last part of a name/description (Thanks BetweenWalls, Kanzeon) New %LBRACE% and %RBRACE% keywords for "{" and "}" symbols so they can be used in descriptions (Thanks BetweenWalls) EQUIPPED now applies to equipped mercenary items too (Thanks BetweenWalls) Removed extra trailing/leading space from magic items that didn't have both a prefix and suffix (Thanks BetweenWalls) Fixed a bug which caused some items to crash the game on mouseover Reworked loot filter condition evaluation which increases performance by 1.4x-2.6x, depending on the filter (Thanks exiledagain) Reworked item rename functions to be cleaner/more performant (Thanks Kanzeon) Pointmod-capable regular (white/gray) items can now use one %NL% in their name (fixed - wasn't mentioned) Bug Fixes Fixed next hit always misses (NHAM) This bug caused the next attack/cast after being put into a recovery frame to always miss (Things like hit recovery or block would trigger this bug). This should cause melee in particular to feel much better than previously Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause corrupted Kadala's heirloom to vanish Fixed a 1.07 bug that prevented champion/boss monsters from being blue & purple Fixed an issue that caused high CPU usage in the main menu Fixed a bug causing random characters to show up after a socket corruption D2GL Updated from v1.3.1 to v1.3.3 Reverted to the original level entry notification text (e.g. "Entering the Rogue Encampment") (Thanks @Kanzeon) Hide the quantity display on items with unlimited quantity (Arrows, Bolts, etc.)
