Jay Wilson also explains that the reason for creating the Auction House was purely to control trading, item duplication, and other elements that were uncontrollable with Diablo 2. 'We actually took a long time to try and work out all the legal issues before we finally said okay, we think it's worth trying it. 'The reason we did not get rid of it right away when we saw it was a problem was legally we didn't think we could because it was advertised on the boxes,' Jay Wilson says. The latter was due to the Auction House being listed as a feature on the retail box, and the team was unsure they could remove it without legal ramifications. He outlined the reasons why it was added, and why it took so long to remove. Patch 2.7.5 and the Season 28 features will be added to the PTR next week, which means it'll probably be a few weeks at least before it hits the live game.Īs part of a deep dive into Diablo 3 at the recent Portland Retro Gaming Expo, the game's lead designer Jay Wilson opened up about the infamous Auction House that was removed prior to the game's Reaper of Souls expansion. The Demon Hunter's Natalya’s Vengeance set is getting a rework to become a Spike Trap set, and the Wizard's Hydra set is getting a buff too. Season 28 will arrive alongside Patch 2.7.5 which features a number of items and set buffs too. And it sounds like it has been influenced a little by Diablo 4's Paragon Board system. As a new endgame system to play with, one that will augment and power-up existing builds - it sounds awesome.

Like hundreds of Forgotten Souls and Deaths Breaths and Bounty Rewards. It's very detailed, and unlocking all Seals will take quite a bit of materials. Potion AA, 'When you drink your health potion, you manifest one of three runic circles on the ground that grant increased damage, increased cooldown reduction, or increased resource cost reduction.' Potion AB, 'When you drink your health potion, all enemies within 25 yards deal 25% less damage.' Potion AC, 'When you drink your health potion, gain a random shrine or pylon effect.' The three Legendary Potion Powers sound awesome too. 'Once a Seal or Legendary Potion Power is unlocked, you’ll immediately receive that Seal or Potion’s power and will have the ability to unlock connected Seals or Potions once you have the required materials.'

'The order in which you unlock additional Seals and obtain their powers is entirely up to you and which powers align with your character’s build the most,' Blizzard writes.
