3.1 R1 Patch Notes

[Game]

Annihilus 3.1 Update 1 Changelog:


• Several behind the scenes stability updates, potentially a massive increase in stability.

• Several changes to the UI system, such as improvements made to the Buff timers.

• Player Limit per game is now set back to 64, up from 8. Fingers crossed.

• Characters should no longer get stuck and not be able to join games.

• Khalim's Hope now spawns Nephalem Flames when taking damage, instead of killing an enemy.

• Sand-Dwellers in the Level 12 Crucible no longer cast Firewall.

• Infernal Pearls may now also spawn as a scaling 300-451 Poison damage charm.

• Necromancer's Abyss Sphere now casts Venomous Spirit when taking damage, instead of the broken Insect Swarm.

• Holy Bolt now properly shows the increased healing buff it received.

• Inferno Hephasto AI has been modified, he should no longer go invisible. (For real this time.)

• K'nar'st's AI has been modified, and should not run away as much.

• Deckard Cain's AI has been modified.

• The new Runewords SHOULD show the correct name now. Hopefully.

• Horadrim Teleport now has a different cast sound.

• Othuyeg's Eyeball now has Magic Damage % and Magic Resist.


I think that's it, if I forgot something I will add it later!

Why were uber orgs stealth nerfed? Only see one of each now? Don't see anything about it being nerfed.

That wasn't a nerf that was a fix for a bug that was accidentally created a couple of patches ago lol. Surely you guys did ubers on normal realms and know that wasn't normal?

a lot of things arent normal in this game, i thought it was an added feature. It'll take forever to get annis now :( especially with 8 player max. 9 key sets for one anni :(

Doesn't it make sense that annis should be rare for the server called Annihilus? :)

[Dante]

ye thats a bit much. especially if you dont load games, which shouldnt be required.
One the other hand it will make torch/anni something more special and valueable so hmmmm...

Perhaps adding soulstones to boss drops (DL/OMEGA/CRUCIBLE/TYRAEL etc) with a change like divines could help it.

e:This would also diversify the game a bit, away from strict order to achieve things.

e2: the suggestion was about parts you need for the soulstones, not soulstones themself, would be way over the top lol.

Yea, but it would be better to make this change right before a ladder reset. Everyone has them already and new people like me are left with people overpricing them :/

[Game]

Sorry guys, I have no intentions of changing the Uber Tristram / Diablo Clone events as of now. I would have gotten the fix in sooner if I could have. Sorry to those it has upset. Maybe I will do something with it in the future, but when I designed this patch I intended for annihilus to be much more rarer than torches.

[Dante]

oops, i didn't meant soulstones, but the parts you need for it (SoH?). I never run this lol

[Thor]

ah nice

[Lucid]

How does ubertrist actually work? Well i know you need 3x3 keys. Then doing duriel/andy/izual but there are now only one of each, right? And when i do ubertrist itself only the last i kill drop standarts of heroes. But how much do drop? Always 8 or are there less with less players? Do i need to ubertrist with 8 ppl in the game to get 8 standarts?

[Lampogriz]

Do i need to ubertrist with 8 ppl in the game to get 8 standarts?

yeah

[Dante]

Load as many chars as you can in your game. This is stupid, but can give you up to 64 sohs.

Or prepare a uber, kill all but one boss. Then go to inferno cows and let it announce publicly... :P

[Lucid]

@Dante isnt 8 sohs the maximum at the moment? I was like i read that somewhere

[rrra]

8 is current maximum

[Lampogriz]

lol no you can get 64 aswell

[Dante]

8 might have been the maximum, when game limit was set to 8 players for quite some time.
Game limit is up and you can get 64 now.

[Lucid]

lul ok thx :)
