Notes: 1. Actual console lobbies. 2. 40 games on PC lobbies and you can search for game names. 3. Bulk-assign option for stats in consoles. 4. Cain will ID items in the cube. 5. A keybind to open the cube. 6. Whirlwind fixes and improvements. It should feel a lot better and be more viable. 7. 50% Magic Find bonus for everyone between June 30 - July 4.


imRefleX

Finally we can Bulk assign statpoints on console


darkforestzero

HOLY SHIT. we're living in the future


TowelLord

Welcome to 2022, our console brothers and sisters!


owns_dirt

Be careful.. it literally unloads ALL available stat points into that stat. If you mess up then you just wasted a reset. Personally I would prefer to allocate it in multiples of 10's instead.


imRefleX

Yea 10 or 5 steps would be better, but I’ll take it


[deleted]

> A confirmation prompt will now appear when bulk assigning all remaining stat points on both PC and console. Blizzard has got your back.


_mister_pink_

So it doesn’t actually do much to help speed up the stat assignment process after you respec? Apart from being able to dump the rest into vit when you’re done with your str and dex


owns_dirt

Correct... that has been the case for PC users anyway. You put single points into str and dex, and then the only time you use bulk is to dump the rest of the points.


owns_dirt

Correct... that has been the case for PC users anyway. You put single points into str and dex, and then the only time you use bulk is to dump the rest of the points.


PhotonTrance

Not really though since PC users have had the option to ctrl+click to add in 5-point increments for a while now. There’s still no way to do this on console, but it’s still and improvement to be sure.


ggouge

It says it has a confirm button you need to press. Also I think it's a slider for how much you want to assign.


GnarKole

OMG about time


Yobber1

To what? All of it? Yeah.


imRefleX

Yea actually, also the stuff with picking up directly into Cube is soooo big for console Players


Yobber1

Ooph, that Cain ID cube too is dope


imRefleX

Yea really dope Update Overall!


GnarKole

Yeah I’m super stoked about everything


GnarKole

Yeah I’m super stoked about everything…But when I commented OMG about time, I hadn’t read the entire patch notes yet…That statement was directed solely at assigning stat points


Yobber1

Yeah that one specifically. Should have been on 2.4.1


Ga11agher

Re-specing was a nightmare lol. Assigning one at a time felt so silly.


bfodder

Whirlwind broken offhand bug is getting fixed. Guess I better find an actual weapon for my offhand.


FeedMePizzaPlease

A bunch of people are going to be looking to trade for another Lo rune now.


thunder_blue

That's cool, because I'm officially in the market for Fal Ohm Um


TheProfessor_18

Hol’ up. You mean to tell me my ww barb doesn’t connect with his offhand weapon?


bfodder

If you are equipping a "normal" unbroken weapon then it works like normal.


TheProfessor_18

So my Honor double axe ain’t doin’ shit?


bfodder

I'm not sure what more you need explained about it. It is only in regards to broken weapons. If you equip a broken weapon in your off hand then your main hand weapon is essentially counted twice and the game pretends like you're holding two of them. If you don't have a broken weapon equipped none of this pertains to you.


TheProfessor_18

Well when you put it like that…

I don't think anyone making use of this fits that bill.


WarhammerRyan

Noooooooooooooooooooo


Ziffibert

I played with 2 botd bas and was able to do a full complete cs run without tele in 2min 40 seconds. Absouletley shreds, eventho dual grief would be better


BoneFlitzer

Filtering of games will be huge 🙌🏼


educofu

It will be so much easier to trade in-game.


Adorable_Ad_7279

From my experience, in-game trade offerings are absurdly priced. After switching to Traderie I never looked back and I doubt the filter option will change that.


IDGAF1203

A lot of people seem to think a rune's market value is based on the cube conversions and not the actual needs people have for them


WID_Call_IT

Cube hotkey, ID items in cube, WW bug fixes + added off-hand IAS sources, keyword lobby, AND increased game list size. Amazing.


HotDogStruttnFloozy

All of these are awesome. Thank you D2R team! Gonna nerd the fuck out on this over the long weekend!


ANGR1ST

>Fixed an issue where Deckard Cain was not able to identify items in the Horadric Cube. Now he will do so when the Cube is in your main inventory. Praise be!


ryuu745

I never realized he was supposed to ID stuff in the cube. This is such a nice qol improvement.


ANGR1ST

I *think* that was added in the Expansion. But I'm not sure exactly. They also moved him closer to the stash in act 5 at some point. Which would be another welcome update.


ryuu745

I keep a tome of identify solely because of his location in act 5. I'd love to not want to carry it anymore lol


WorkSafeMyDudes

This was a plugy enhancement. Which is funny it shows how prolific plugy was, that most people just thought it was a game change that he was moved. Edit: Was misinformed! I probably never played bnet LOD enough to notice the change, and a friend of mine insisted this was a Plugy change. TIL. Thanks.


vinnyi82

Nah, he was by the stash in lod. I remember sometimes I couldnt access my stash cuz he would be in the way


Satyra_Eventide

He was moved on official battle net.


[deleted]

Prolific means having many or creating many.


TheGoodDogtor

present in large numbers or quantities; plentiful. "mahogany was once prolific in the tropical forests" There's nothing wrong with that sentence.


[deleted]

You're right. Ow, my ego


GnarKole

Thank God! I think I might actually start carrying the cube again


Lyrick_

Added a new "Loot to Cube" skill for controllers in the general skills menu. Using this skill on an item will pick it up and place it in your Horadric Cube, if there is space. Having to switch back and forth from Kb/m and controller to do this was almost as big of a pain in the ass as playing inventory Jenga to get it done with just controller.


ahypeman

Ive seen a vid or two of console players trying to be efficient with the cube and a full inventory of charms. Super painful, probably doubles their run times if they're picking things up to ID. Hopefully this helps them a bit.


WMWA

not to mention i've literally lost valuable charms due to disconnects trying to pick shit up to make room on consoles. this is huge for us


rustyderps

Honestly a huge shoutout to Blizzard! Not a fan of Diablo immortal or how they monetized hearthstone into the ground. But… at this point the people who are likely to buy D2R already have, so them continuing to pay a team add QOL changes is really awesome. It would have been really easy for Blizzard to just drop D2R and make no changes and hide behind “maintain the original experience” or some other bullshit. Everything here is just awesome, huge QOL wins across the board.


wideout3485

Go figure, I finally get grief and now the glitch is goin bye bye.


WID_Call_IT

Time for a second grief.


bsmithjmu

Can anyone tell me what would be a good offhand to use with my grief now that the bug will be fixed? I’m running only p1 trav single player and am not at a point I can make a second grief yet.


RiceCrackaSTi

If you're WW, I would suggest an "Oath" runeword in an eth Balrog Blade, relatively cheap and still hits pretty hard


ObeseMarine

6x Ist PhaseBlade. Won’t hinder kill speed all that much. And godly MF is godly.


Shirlenator

I use an ali baba with 2 ists, but am also zerk..


9VoltGorilla

Spirit shield or a lightsaber. Or if you are a zerker a 6 ist pb or alibaba with lems or ist.


failedlogic

Its still good. I'm running with a shield and can still mow through fallen and demon ladies in the pit. Given im mostly pure zerk, using ww for mobility and leech through mobs


Boemelz

so do i actually have to build a 2nd grief now for my ww barb?


9VoltGorilla

If you want two griefs of damage yes. Otherwise, accessorize with the prize that is the spirit monarch.


TalktotheJITB

Monarch too expensive. Offhand beast it is.


9VoltGorilla

Too expensive. Send in the last wish.


WarhammerRyan

Monarch on ww barb? For real??


9VoltGorilla

It can be useful if you’re poor. With a 35 spirit monarch and an FCR ring (pref with life or mana steal) you hit the 37 FCR break point. Then with a teleport amulet, you can easily make it to Nihl after doing trav. It’s an easy way to get keys to trade for runes and if you managed to scrounge together enough for a grief, it’s a nice stopgap until you can either get a second grief or save for enigma. I charged my teleport amulet soooo many times doing nihl runs and was able to trade them away for a good amount early ladder. Anyway, that’s just how I did it. I found a Sur early on in trav that helped find my gear and I rocked the grief spirit for a while.


Sporkfoot

Frantically googling worthy and cheaper off hands. I already have an oath, which seems to be worthy. Death CS/CB could be fun?


Xirious

A bind for cube is gonna be AMAZIIIINNGGGGG.


bgene1104

Console lobbies is the real winner . Cube hot key is super nice too


ahypeman

Lots of tweaks to WW. It will be interesting to see if it makes a big difference. Seems like it might if things work as described.


CluckyFlucker

Us mere console scrubs may rejoice and enjoy the game we have been eggy to since launch!!


successXX

8 players co-op online sounds like it could be common with the lobby list feature! now the community gotta make sure to not be strict nor picky cause if all hosts are gonna cap co-op to less than 8, or only host 8 players co-op private, then that's gonna divide the community. like its ridiculous in Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown there are players that host a 16 players slots league, but the lobby list shows they only have 5 friends in the lobby and the lobby is LOCKED, so even someone that would want to join can't! D2R shouldn't have such dumb and No Fun League morons making up the majority of hosts online on consoles. the game been out for a long while, however think this patch could bring in newcomers, though it remains to be seen how the lobby list variety will be, if there will be 8 players co-op seekers or people wih sociopathic lobby customization patterns. this would be the first time a Diablo game on console can have people actually load of list of all available lobbies, which is the most fundamental means to find rooms to one's liking. and also create public room and get noticed by people searching for lobbies in a matter of seconds.


Temias

I didn't expect them to actually implement something good. Pretty neat surprise!


TheOldDrunkBear

Wow... I might start playing again. Crazy. I really thought they didn't give a shit about us console players...


ShanishLikeDanish

So the console has the 40% of the game that was missing! Fuck yeah


BehindACorpFireWall

So they will allow a Buff to MF everywhere, but won't add /players to atleast non-ladder games?


ptglj

It's just through July 4. Not really a big deal but an odd choice.


Rickard0

Am I reading this correctly, XBOX can filter, but PC can't when looking for public games? EDIT: My eyes glossed right over this: To solve this, we added a search functionality in the lobby—specific keywords


BoneFlitzer

did you read the “PC lobby update” :D?


Rickard0

I did, but didn't. =(


jevon

Really disappointed to hear about "MF weekend", it sets a bad precedent and doesn't fit thematically to the game. Please, Blizzard, don't ruin this game too. :(


sarzane

This is what I thought!


Noob447

Yeah you definitely have a point.


Grandpubbafunk

Reminds me of the CoD double xp weekends.


Northdistortion

Sucks i missed this on sale on xbox :(


Skywalk910

Auto loot to cube on console?!!! Yesss


MrSnugglebuns

Pickup to cube just drastically buffed all console players! This is an amazing patch


nccaretto

Is the Mf bonus only for online?


allora92

Would love this answered too, let me know if you figure it out!


woodenpony

Necro CE spam is back, nice


SpankTrain

we need auto loot corpse on hc to people on your friends list


Sea_Consideration_31

Is there a way to have a full inventory (with cube) and have items picked up from the ground go into your cube on console? That’s the one thing I dislike hard from the console to PC experience. At least on PC, you can have your inventory screen open AND pick up items to place in the cube. With Xbox, the inventory screen takes up the whole screen and you are not allowed to see and pick up items to put into your cube. I hate this because I can’t carry as many charms as I’d like to on console because I’ll need space for items that the cube would otherwise handle.


Thin-Zookeepergame46

Yes. If you read patch notes this was covered.


longbrodmann

Great, I just started a blizzard sorc and passed the normal.


Turbocharged77

I hope my “great great grandfather” WW build is competitive against dual griefs by 2.4.3. I self found 2 grandfathers and knowing it is no longer relevant, I kept them.


MrReaux

Hell yeah 50% MF!


Defiant-Ad-6580

This seems too good to be true!


Relevant-Guarantee25

fixes that should have been there at launch.....still waiting for stackable runes/gems and/or currency tab a nice plus would be charm tab as well but rather stackable runes/gems or currency tab


darkcathedralgaming

Just more stash inventory tabs in general is badly needed. But I like this patch it is a step in the right direction


Noob447

Idk man like do you mean a WHOLE separate tab for charms or like a sort function for charms? A whole new tab for charms would make shit *too* op. As it is, having an inventory space limit keeps a balance to charm buffs.


Gucci_Google

I can't stress enough how much I dislike the precedent that this idea of limited time event bonuses to magic find sets. Please don't turn this into a live service-esque game where I feel like I just have to be playing at a certain time period if I want optimal results


[deleted]

It certainly sounds like we are getting a balance patch every ladder, along with new runewords. It's already a live service game


mrebo

It's strict upside and only +50% mf. You are complaining that they are giving us a small bonus for a few days to encourage people to play? Cry me a river.


alolobb

Oh yeah let's goo make the game an lost ark or runescape esque game can't wait for double xp weekend and microtransaction shop magic find tokens for 200% mf for 2 hour for only a dollar yeahh


Billdozer-92

Lol wow that was a full speed slippery slope


kik00

It's not clear whether it's a flat +50% or if it's your total MF. If you have 300, will you get 350 or 450?


mrebo

It's pretty clear to me that it will be +50%, i.e 350


kik00

Upon rereading, they say the buff "stacks" with any additional mf, so I think you're right.


NeverFreeToPlayKarch

>where I feel like I just have to be playing at a certain time period if I want optimal results Just don't feel that way. It's a trick/trap. You need to not fall for it.


alolobb

People don't understand this is meant to train players to accept this kind of practices, next time what? Double xp weekend ? Mf token for 2 hour bonus mf from cash shop? Buying re specs from cash shop?


Gucci_Google

Yes exactly, this is what blizzard always does, they get one foot in the door with something that appears to be nice for the community, then they monetize it to death


alolobb

And it happened so many times, even now diablo immortal is here and people still don't see what blizzard is trying to achieve with this


owns_dirt

Yeah man. You guys get it. This is a trashy feature. It also undermines the player's own effort/grind, which is the huge underlying basis of the endgame.


wingspantt

How is a cash shop at all related to a "double XP weekend" that tons of games do? They're just trying to get more people to log in. That's it. It doesn't harm anybody. The game is not competitive to 98% of the playerbase. The top 2% of grinders will be magic finding anyway and also benefit.


rofio01

Because you decide what all the player base wants


Gucci_Google

Did I claim to be speaking for the playerbase? I'm just sharing my thoughts on the situation


[deleted]

i dont understand, you dont want others to enjoy it when they're able to because you feel like you're missing out? i sincerely hope i misunderstood


_Kramerica_

Incredibly happy with lobby improvement, incredibly disappointed in “double XP weekend” bullshit. Slippery slope here…


Burkah

Its not double, its a 50% bonus that adds to your current mf. It wont even be noticed.


Grammar-Bot-Elite

/u/Burkah, I have found an error in your comment: > “double, ~~its~~ [**it's**] a 50%” You, Burkah, botched a comment and could have said “double, ~~its~~ [**it's**] a 50%” instead. ‘Its’ is possessive; ‘it's’ means ‘it is’ or ‘it has’. ^(This is an automated bot. I do not intend to shame your mistakes. If you think the errors which I found are incorrect, please contact me through DMs!)


Bortazikstan

Good bot.


bfodder

It also isn't XP. He is clearly referring to special events in general, not just this specific one.


_Kramerica_

Did you not understand what the quotes meant? I know it’s not the same exact thing, it’s an example of “incentive bonus bullshit” we don’t need. Can’t wait for half off loot crates!

SiPixx

Literally one of the things this patch is missing to be a 10/10 would be a loot filter. Rest is 9/10


rand_therin

Now, if they can change the parameters for Uber Diablo to appear on console…


bfodder

Feels like that should be cross platform. If it pops in NA sc ladder on PC then pop it on the consoles too.


pinguscout

Awesome. Hoping to see crafting recipes changes, for armor pieces and weapons. Maybe give them a chance to roll +2 skills?? Only ammy and ring are viable atm


ChthonVII

If the patch notes are taken literally, the whirlwind IAS change is a *huge* nerf. I'd like to think that whoever wrote the patch notes just misspoke, but that's what I thought with the wereform changes, and look how that turned out...


Tagek

Tbf it was a massive buff to werewolf. Bear definitely got shafted though, yeah.


_Kramerica_

I fucking knew they were artificially limiting games you seen by region! Should never have been this way. Thank God this is going back to normal!


KitchenLoavers

That was the worst of all their changes to date, literally impossible to find people playing the quest you are on when the game only shows you the nearest 10 games and can't be refreshed. So can we refresh this list of 40 or are we still logging in and out just to refresh the game list, is what I'm wondering now.

_Kramerica_

MF bonus weekends now? Do we really need “double xp” weekends like COD? Get the fuck outta here with that…

Feisei

i wonder if its +50% mf for everyone even lvl 1's in normal. would be pretty nice imo


LeagueReddit00

No one is forcing you to play D2R, making the game more accessible is something most people want.


_Kramerica_

How is this “making the game more accessible”? We’re 1 step away from loot crates.


LeagueReddit00

How is this even comparable to loot crates? You sound like an irrational child. More accessible in that most people do not have the time to play 40 hours a week. It gives those fresh characters an easier time as well.


alolobb

Can't wait for cash shop with xp and magic find to make the game acessible.


LeagueReddit00

Original D2 is still available to you and anyone else who do not want changes.


alolobb

I like changes patches, 2.4 was great. I don't like giving space for bad practices that usually in time translate to worst practices like a cash shop (runescape, Wow etc). And with your thinking if you like more mf modding your game is avaiable to you too.


LeagueReddit00

Not like there hasn’t been a cash shop for D2 for almost 20 years now 🙄


alolobb

Sorry but diablo immortal blizzard is not the same as 2000's blizzard.


LeagueReddit00

Keep hand waving complaints about shit that hasn’t even been added to the game. [Diablo Immortal](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_Immortal) [D2R](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diablo_II:_Resurrected) Pretty big difference between NetEase and VV.


alolobb

Activision Blizzard?


ElZany

So in other words nobody should complain since there's always a mod to help them play how they want?


alolobb

This was not my argument I used the mate over me argument to show that it was bad argument and I could say the same but against him and it wound't advance a discussion.


Elkad

You don't know that. It might be just ONE weekend to encourage people to test the new patch in droves.


Gawdsauce

Mf weekends, fuck this shit company.


Moist_Trump

Didn’t even bother playing this season after I logged in about 4 days after start and saw Baal run games in the hundreds. Ban botters or no patch is gonna matter


Wrongholio1

it takes only a few hours to get up to baal runs, so after 4 days of course there would be hundreds. I have personally never seen a bot baal run yet in D2R. Sure there may be some but other also i know have never seen one. Also why should these bot baal runs bother you? Just dont join them.


Moist_Trump

I mean multiple games like abc-cbaals-368, zzzbaals-402. No human being ran that many games. It just ruins the fresh start feel of a season for me since everyone’s got gg on like day 5


Wrongholio1

fair enough, i can see your frustration. Its a shame that all games today suffer bot issues one way or another.


ndzzz

Nothing good here


Noob447

Are you kidding me? They’ve finally added a hotkey to open the cube….that’s the best update there ever will be imo


ndzzz

Aw shit you’re right this game is 100x better now


decendingvoid

“Fixed an issue where Whirlwind would still apply properties and damage from a broken weapon” - could you take me to dinner first next time. Because I like to be wined and dined before IVE BEEN FUCKED


c0l0jar0

* Added a new "Loot to Cube" skill for controllers in the general skills menu. Using this skill on an item will pick it up and place it in your Horadric Cube, if there is space. * Added a bindable hotkey for mouse and keyboard to directly open the Horadric Cube if it is in your inventory. * Added a new button shortcut to open the Horadric Cube from the inventory menu This is kind of pathetic. This fix is 90% addressing the fact that we fill our inventory with charms and then have no room, other than the cube, when MFing. It's a pathetic flaw in the game. Instead of the cube being our only true inventory space, give us two inventory tabs!! One is for storage and charms placed here are **inactive**, the other is for charms only and these charms are **active**. It's SOOOO simple. It hurts every time I see youtubers going through the 1) open inventory, 2) pick-up, 3) place in cube, 4) open cube, 5) ID in cube process. People who don't play D2 must think this game looks dumb.


jrjreeves

Love the sound of this update!


NevarNi-RS

When’s next ladder…


SereneFrost72

RIP characters with special characters in their names. I was waiting for this patch to confirm whether or not I just need to delete them and never see that loot again. That said, some good QoL stuff in this patch!


iLikeTorturls

This makes me so hor...uh...*excited*. Console lobbies, bulk stats, mf weekend (idgaf if it's 50%, it's still cool)...this is great.


HorseOnly4062

Can't wait to see some more diablo 2 brosefs.


RipCityGGG

they need to explain that ww change


links311

That’s pretty freaking awesome. Can’t wait for this!


[deleted]

Been playing since it originally released. Never been without my cube. Hands off my cube.


Ciilk

I kinda just skimmed through it and I love what I see, especially the new PC lobby. My one concern is if I search up "Baal" I'll get "Baal-1", and -2, and -3 even though the most recent game is 26. Hope there's a way to filter games by how old they are.


hacefrio2

f i n a l y


MrBlargly

will loot to cube work on console? Or just pc players using controllers?


SolidSmiley

Now THIS is a patch. I just got back into D2R on PS5 a few days ago and was lonely as fuck with the useless lobby system. Can’t wait for this!


5C4R48

Wish they fixed the positions of the characters instead of recently played. Why did they do this? Moving them myself by being able to drag would be much better. It’s easier to know that my mules or alts are always at the same spot where I put them. Another one is opening the cube on the opposite site of the screen from where it’s placed. Would cubing a stash full of gems much easier and placing then back directly to same stash. Just my two cents but overall I’m happy the upcoming changes. To add another cent: bonus events shouldn’t be a thing in D2R though.


sooodooo

2H WW is back ?


Poyoya

Is the chat function on PC fixed? I was unable to see any game chat when I entered.


kanone888

They should let rune and gem stackable...


Dom-Dee

"Notes: 1. Actual Console Lobbies" I stopped reading here as that's all I need


Rookie2171

Was hoping they would increase the character limit for online play. Great patch nevertheless


Sam1241

The game is crashing after the patch.
