Quality of Life
The following quality of life changes have been made in Path of Diablo (in progress).
General
- No cheats, bots, maphacks, multiclients, and third party programs (kindly check the official FAQ for details)
- Dozens of stable regional servers have been added (many paid for by the community)
- Trade website has been added with excellent functionality
- Global chat has been added
- Character account limit increased to 18
- Players can now see (join) games at lower difficulty levels (not just the current difficulty)
NOTE: This is a very friendly server quite different than Bnet. Try to look out your fellow adventurers (you will very often find others do so). Players can be banned for griefing or otherwise egregious play.
End-game
- High runes now drop in a more linear rate (but are still very rare) to help with forging of high tier runewords due to the absence of bots and dupes
- Certain areas have been increased to ilvl 85+ to increase farming options
- Challenging new end-game content continues to be introduced, see Dungeoneering and [1] for details
Inventory Management
- Inventory size doubled (with charms only becoming 'active' in the lower half, to prevent balance issues)
- Stash size increased
- Perming games now only requires 30 seconds
- Loot filters have been added
Other in-game improvements
- A 'Move Only' command has been added and is assignable to left-click to prevent unintentional monster targeting
- Slaughtering the Cow King no longer prevents creation of the Cow Level in future games
- Shrines can be active simultaneously (and no longer overridden by becoming cursed)
- A handful of monsters (e.g. dolls, gloams) have been slightly modified to limit specific instances of previously unavoidable deaths in Hardcore mode
- Several skills and affixes have been renamed for clarity
