The thing about games like Diablo 3 is that they can be completed fairly quickly, but what makes the game appealing is the quest to keep hunting for newer and better gear. Given that the gear drops and stats are random, it’s hard to find two items that share the exact same stats. Now the good news is that if you’re sick of the grind, Blizzard has recently announced that Patch 2.1.2 is now live.
So what’s new with Patch 2.1.2? Well Blizzard has made quite a few changes to the classes in the game in their never-ending effort to balance the classes and to make them as fun as possible. Blizzard has also introduced three new legendary gems and three new legendary items that should help shake things up a bit.
There will also be four new types of treasure goblins that will be added to the game. These include the Gem Hoarder, the Blood Thief, the Odious Collector, and Malevolent Tormentor. All goblins are expected to drop different loot and will only be available in Adventure Mode. They will also gain a special minimap icon so that players will know where they are.
Blizzard has also buffed Whimsydale to make it more rewarding, and has also improved and made changes to Bounties & Events, Nephalem Rifts, and more. There is also the addition of the “Ancient Legendary” type of item which is basically a Legendary item just with a higher stat range. The update should be available for download when you launch the game.
