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.

applied to the league itself rather than season 4 in general, so they're listed in that category instead.

Crafters Race League - April 1st 2022 through May 6th 2022

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. Crafters Race League - will begin April 1st 10am PST, and ends April 22nd May 6th Rare/craft-focused league without unique/set/runeword items, except unique charms (Annihilus, Hellfire Torch, Gheed's Fortune) 200% experience mode in hell mode Only 35% rejuvenation potions will exist, no full rejuvenations Maps will be players 5 drops Rare items will roll a minimum number of affixes based on their ilvl (4 affixes for 45+, 5 affixes for 65+, 6 affixes for 85+) Rare items can be used in crafting recipes Map events will spawn much more frequently, but only treasure goblin and dark wanderer events will spawn Akara will sell Respec Tokens Larzuk will sell Larzuk's Puzzleboxes Anya will sell DClone/Rathma portal items (Vision of Terror, Voidstone) Diablo Clone and Rathma have had their resistances, health, and damage reduced This league will temporarily replace S4 on the live realm - S4 will resume afterward with restored S4 characters. Before S5 begins, S4 characters will be transferred to non-ladder. Race league characters will not be transferred to non-ladder. League Patch #1 (2022-04-04) Treasure fallens no longer drop map materials and now drop low runes Treasure fallens now have 63% less health Full rejuvenation potions found by find item are no longer usable Full rejuvenation potions can now be cubed to break them down to two 35% rejuvenation potions T1 map mobs have roughly 20% less health, t2 map mobs have roughly 10% less health Ancestral trial boss now deals less damage Rathma is now enabled in single player (was added last patch but not included in patch notes) League Patch #2 (2022-04-10) uber diablo / baal / mephisto resistances reduced to match the reductions rathma and diablo clone received rathma's conjured souls now have reduced resistances to match the other resistance reductions received anya will now sell uber organs and uber keys jewels now break down to 2 jewel fragments instead of 1 3 flawless gems will now upgrade to 2 perfect gems lower resist wands now spawn with 80 charges of level 20 lower resist instead of 75 charges of level 4 lower resist League Extension Announcement (2022-04-19) After a poll was taken and the majority (~60%) of the community was in favor, it was decided that the league would be extended by 2 weeks.

We will be granting an aura for the first three players to defeat Difficulty 1 (Vex) and Difficulty 8 (Zod) You can now break down a hellfire torch with a key to create stackable Hellfire Ashes which can be used for the Voidstone recipe All Diablo Clone and Rathma summon materials drop rates have been increased Monsters within phase 1 and phase 2 of Rathma have had their experience greatly reduced PVP Regular potions can no longer be used within the PvP Arena Vendors within PvP Arenas will now sell PvP mana potions which cost 1 gold and can only be used within the Arenas Meteor now has reduced explosion radius within PvP arenas LOOT FILTER New Features and improvements: Hidden gold will now automatically be picked up Added Reload Config to the in-game settings menu Added EDEF which will filter Enhanced Defense Added EDAM which will filter Enhanced Damage Added GEMLEVEL (same as GEM) Added SOCKETS (same as SOCK) Added %SK#%, %OS#%, %CLSK#%, %TABSK#%, %MULTI#,#% skill value outputs Added named stat value outputs (%DEF%, %LIFE%, %MFIND%, %RES%, etc.) Renamed %STAT-#% to %STAT#% (now matches the input condition) All valid conditions will now work with the 'between' (~) operator Conditions with negative values should now work more intuitively (prior to this change, something like [REPLIFE>10] would also match items with negative Replenish Life, like Soul Drainer) Items names can now use %NL%, so long as the item is identified and its quality is magic or greater Added %ED% Added EDEF, EDAM, FCR, AR, REPLIFE, STAT3 (vit), STAT60 (life leech), STAT62 (mana leech) to "+" condition (can be summed before evaluation) Reworked PREFIX/SUFFIX/AUTOMOD to all start from ID 1. Previously the first PREFIX was 968 (Stout) but will now be 1. Likewise the first AUTOMOD (Fletcher's) was 1645 but will now be 1. This will prevent loot filters from needing updates every time a new PREFIX or SUFFIX is added Color codes which were previously Glide-Only (%CORAL%, %SAGE%, %TEAL%, %LIGHT_GRAY%) will work if HD Text is enabled (fixed - wasn't mentioned) Bug Fixes: Fixed a bug with Enhanced Defense and Enhanced Damage sometimes returning 0 Fixed a bug with 1H that prevented it from filtering "hand axe" Fixed a bug with EQ2 using the wrong armor group Fixed a bug with EQUIPPED which caused items in the shared stash to be incorrectly considered "equipped" Fixed a bug with SHOP that would sometimes cause the condition to incorrectly return true Fixed a bug with GEM/GEMLEVEL that prevented unstacked flawless/perfect from filtering properly Fixed an issue with MINDMG, MAXDMG, & STAT21-24 that would incorrectly filter on base min/max weapon damage instead of +min/+max damage bonuses. Fixed a bug with PRICE that would cause the condition to incorrectly return false in certain cases Fixed LIFE/MANA conditions Fixed MAPTIER to properly allow negative values Fixed issue with MAPTIER not filtering for non-map items SKILLS Amazon Fend Now gains +20% melee splash radius on it’s second attack and +40% on it’s third Synergies increased from 12% to 15% Lightning Fury Changed from gaining a bolt every 5 base levels to every 5 soft Power Strike Level 28+ scaling increased from 0-31 to 0-32 Lightning Strike Chain range reduced from 20 to 16 Hits reduced from 12 to 10 Synergies reduced from 12% to 10% Evade The passive movement speed bonus now works properly Assassin Mind Blast Now deals partial magic damage Tiger Strike Animation reverted back to only using it’s main hand Can now use daggers Shadow Warrior Item quality per level increased from 2 to 3 Shadow warrior base item quality increased from 18 to 20 Reworked Shadow Warrior equipment generation so that they will generate boots to increase their kick damage Allowed inspecting shadow warriors gear (using unsummon skill to highlight the warrior and press 0) Shadow Master Reworked Shadow Master equipment generation so that they will generate boots to increase their kick damage Allowed inspecting shadow masters gear (using unsummon skill to highlight the warrior and press 0) Fists of Fire Fixed fists of fire's meteor physical damage only gaining 25% from synergies instead of 26% Fists of fire second charge nova level 22-28 scaling reduced from 30-33 to 27-33 Fists of fire second charge nova level 28+ scaling increased from 30-33 to 33-40 Dragon Claw Synergies increased from 8% to 14% (fixed - incorrectly said 15%) Damage per level increased from 15% to 25% Blade Sentinel Synergies increased from 9 to 10% Fire Blast Synergies increased from 12 to 14% Shock Web Synergies increased from 12 to 14% Blade Shield Synergies increased from 8% to 10% Blade Dance Base damage increased from 60% to 110% Base attack rating increased from 90% to 200% Attack rating per level increased from 6% to 15% Venom No longer double dips on increase poison damage% (the poison damage% will be applied on hit and not on casting venom) No longer has scaling duration from poison damage% Now lasts 1.6 seconds at all levels Cobra Strike Now has 4 frame next hit delay Poison Bolt level 22-28 scaling increased from 18-18 to 20-20 Poison Bolt level 28+ scaling increased from 26-26 to 30-30 Synergies increased from 12% to 14% Barbarian Deep Wounds Added a new passive: Deep Wounds - This passive grants the barbarian % chance of open wounds and additional open wounds damage per second Double Swing Synergies increased from 16% to 18% Frenzy Synergies increased from 14% to 15% Concentrate Synergies increased from 15% to 18% Bash Damage per level increased from 18% to 25% Stun synergy increased from 12% to 15% Concentrate synergy increased from 10% to 15% Leap Attack Synergies reduced from 10% to 8% Leap attack no longer uses durability Leap attack aoe increased Find Item Find potion synergy removed % chance for high quality reduced from 30% to 15% Scaling reduced from a diminishing return scaling from 0-50 to 0-40 Druid Spirit of Barbs Now has a 5% synergy with Carrion Vine Arctic Blast Hurricane synergy increased from 14% to 16% Tornado Level 1 base damage increased from 25-35 to 32-35 Level 1-8 scaling reduced from 8-8 to 6-8 Level 8-16 scaling increased from 14-15 to 14-16 Level 16-22 scaling increased from 20-21 to 20-22 Level 22-28 scaling increased from 24-25 to 24-26 Level 28+ scaling increased from 28-29 to 28-30 Fury Now gains +20% melee splash radius on it’s second attack and +40% on it’s third Feral Rage No longer provides increased melee splash radius Werebear Damage bonus per level increased from 12% to 15% Rabies Rabies synergies reduced from 17% to 12% Fire Claws Removed Lycanthropy and Firestorm synergies Redistributed synergy values into Molten Boulder and Armageddon Increased the base damage scaling on fire claws from 1/2/3/4/5 - 2/3/4/5/6 to 2/3/5/7/9 - 3/4/6/8/10 Added scaling fire missile creation (was flat 6 fire missiles, now it is 4 + 1 per 5 base levels (8 total at level 20)) Increased the range of fire claw fire missiles Added basic attack damage to fire claw tooltip Necromancer Poison Strike Poison nova synergy replaced with bone armor Now has a 4 frame next hit delay Corpse Explosion Synergies increased from 7% to 8% Level 8-16 scaling increased from 1-1 to 2-4 Level 16-22 scaling increased from 5-10 to 8-10 Level 22-28 scaling increased from 10-14 to 12-14 Dark Pact Curse mastery and iron maiden synergies reduced from 18% to 15% All curse synergies reduced from 12% to 10% Mana cost increase per level reduced from .25 to .125 Fixed a bug that applied increased magic damage% from items to Dark Pact twice Curse Mastery Changed to apply a "curse cap" on the monster. 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 Damage to self is now reduced by physical damage reduction Fist of the Heavens Synergies increased from 10% to 11% Fist of the heavens holy bolts now gain their proper synergy values Sorceress

Patch Notes S8

Patch Notes Document (Reddit Thread) NOTICE: Items with +X Open Wounds Damage per Second are being fundamentally changed this season. Old versions will cause compatibility errors and will need to be dropped or converted in singleplayer. GENERAL CHANGES Added a new mechanic called "Corrupted Zones" Any game that was hosted with the baal quest complete will have a "Corrupted Zone" These zones will have an area level of 85 and a much greater chance to drop worldstone shards The zone chosen on game creation will change every 15 minutes and will be server wide (An already created game will not have it's Corrupted Zone changed and will require creating a new game to do so) Crushing blow has been reworked to work at full value against regular monsters and bosses.

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.)

of the same tier and rarity Fixed the Cartographer's Orb recipes to allow any combination of maps of the same tier Map Shuffle Royal Crypts moved from tier 2 to tier 1 no longer has lightning immunes

bosses in each dungeon layout (Canight the Corrupted and The Synthetic One will remind in plains of torment) Dungeons will now be split into two wings, in order to unlock the second wing you will need to kill the first boss Second floors of dungeons now have increased density (Dungeons in general will feel more dense due to less large mobs and more "filler" mobs) You can now cube 3 dungeons into a

numerical change wasn't mentioned) Poison creeper rebalanced (lower early game damage and slightly less top end compared to open beta) Note: We felt poison creeper was too easily allowing players to run through early game content without actually engaging with anything during the betas and therefore wanted to bring it more inline with other builds Poison creeper -% enemy poison resist caps at -40% instead of -50% Necromancer Iron Golem Rework Max 1 Iron Golem, but shares the "maximum amount of Golems" with other golems.
