Three new Treasure Goblins have made their way into the realm of Sanctuary. Riches await for those who can catch them!Other interesting changes include the additional seasonal rewards, a revamped loot pick up mechanism, the removal of regular health potions in favor of a bottomless health potion, and the addition of a wardrobe in each city where players can make cosmetic changes among other things.When crafting gems and items, the entire quantity will now be crafted at once
You can now increase your Blood Shard cap by achieving a personal best in Solo Greater Rifts
Two new Legendary potions, two new Legendary gems, and dozens of new and revamped Legendary powers have been added
Several sets across all six classes have received significant improvements and new Barbarian, Demon Hunter, and Wizard sets have been added to the game
Many of these changes seem quite drastic and sound like they may make quite the impact on the game. It will be curious to watch the reaction of the player base to these changes, especially considering that many of these changes come from their feedback to Blizzard.
