The disruptive powers of excessive national fecundity may have played a greater part in bursting the bonds of convention than either the power of ideas or the errors of autocracy.

No more loot drops. Instead you can use your gold in the new D3 store for lootboxes.

Season 15: Boon of the Horadrim Begins 9/21

Season 15 will continue the experiment we began last season with a new seasonal buff. This time, for the duration of Season 15, all Horadric Caches earned from bounties will be doubled. This means that each time you complete a full set of five bounties in an Act, you will receive not one, but two Horadric Caches, for twice the bounty rewards!

There are a few things to keep in mind with this effect:

The bonus cache does benefit from difficulty level; it is essentially as though you completed twice the bounties.
The rewards inside the Horadric Caches are otherwise unaffected; drop rates or the amount of individual rewards have not been altered.
The bonus cache earned from Challenge Rifts is not affected; this is a separate type of cache.

Here are the sets granted by Haedrig’s Gift in Season 15:

Barbarian – Wrath of the Wastes
Crusader – Roland’s Legacy
Demon Hunter – Unhallowed Essence
Monk – Raiment of a Thousand Storms
Necromancer – Bones of Rathma
Witch Doctor – Helltooth Harness
Wizard – Tal Rasha’s Elements

Conquests:

Returning for Season 15 is Sprinter/Speed Racer, where you’re challenged to complete all of Diablo III’s campaign from Act I to Act V at level 70 in under 1 hour!
Next, we have Avarice/Avaritia, where all that glitters is gold—that is, if you can complete a 50 million gold streak outside of The Vault or its Inner Sanctum.
Boss Mode/Worlds Apart is a different kind of race; destroy all the bosses in Diablo III at max level on Torment X before your 20-minute timer ends!
A fan-favorite for those who enjoy unconventional builds, The Thrill/Superhuman requires completion of a Greater Rift level 45 to be completed Solo, but without any Set items equipped.
Finally, Masters of the Universe/Masters of Sets stretches your class set knowledge by requiring a Mastery Rank completion of 8 different Set Dungeons; get ready to start collecting!

I was born and raised in China, lived in Japan, and now hold a US passport.

I am wrong in every way, all the damn time.

Ask me about my tattoos.
This means, what, six reforges per bounty run? It could be worse.

Which set is best for speedfarming, maybe UE?

And I guess Rathma for pushing GR (group) - what about solo? Rathma again, I guess?

It's hard to care about seasons or to feel like I am missing out on anything when Path of Exile does entirely new gameplay modes and mechanics each season. Blizzard, who is vastly bigger and wealthier, puts the bare amount of effort in this game and that's really disappointing.

I realize D3 is low on ActiBlizzard's priority list but it would be nice if they would just go "gently caress balance, infinite resources and no cooldowns!" for a season or something.

If you want speed farming, go DH. Basically jusy need the free set + one weapon to get going.

Marauder DH will always be on the list, I've just never given Crusader any time.

And I'm an idiot who only likes Firebirds if I'm playing wiz and Zuni's if I'm playing doc. Which doesn't let me push very far but I have fun so :colbert: Would like to see those two reworked tbh. Tal's and Helltooth just don't appeal at all.

I feel like it's a given that Diablo 4 will be a lot more like PoE or Hearthstone wrt how Blizzard supports it post-launch. Things have changed a lot since 2012. The real question is whether they're going to reveal D4 at this year's Blizzcon or not :thunk:

They are going to announce a Diablo 2 remaster but the hitch will be that the only way to get it is to pre-order the ultimate digital deluxe version of Diablo 4 for $120.

I don't they'll announce anything this year. D3 for switch comes out during blizzcon so that'll be their Diablo news that buys them another year at least. :v:

honestly I'd be surprised if the reasoning wasn't something like 'a big blowout season would make regular gameplay in the next season feel a lot worse, killing off a bunch of what's left of the playerbase'
