Seasonal content is likely to continue for a long time.Accursed Towers
We’ve received a variety of feedback around one tower bonus and have adjusted both this tower and improved Cursed Shards gathering to better balance Accused Towers.
Starting with the next Accursed Towers season, the 20% increase to PvP damage provided by the Tower of Fortitude will be replaced with a bonus that provides a 10% increase to Life in Battleground, Challenge of the Immortal, Rite of Exile, and Shadow War.
Additionally, the pickup radius of Cursed Shards in PvE matches has been increased.
Battleground Queue Cancelation Penalty Iteration
The Battleground queue cancelation penalty that was introduced in a previous content update has been iterated upon. Now, players who cancel Battleground matches on the Match Found screen will incur a penalty that increases upon each offense, with a maximum 20-minute penalty where the offender won’t be able to queue.
Developer’s Note: The original penalty helped to curb some of the negative behavior we initially observed, but we felt the queuing process could be improved by making the penalty more severe for those that are determined to disrupt matchmaking.
Activity Calendar
To equip Clans and Warbands with additional scheduling features to aid in planning activities, the option to schedule an Event to recur weekly has been added to the Activity Calendar.
Cosmetics Inventory Display
The Cosmetics in the Inventory Cosmetics tab will now display rarity frames to help players differentiate between tiers.
View Equipped Cosmetics on Others
The exact Cosmetics a player is wearing and where to obtain them can now be viewed through that player’s profile via a new Cosmetics tab.
Horadric Bestiary
The chance of obtaining a new Bestiary Page is increased when offering Monstrous Essence to the Horadric Altar for the first time each day.
Bug Fixes
Gameplay
- Fixed an issue where Ancestral Weapon Properties wouldn’t take effect.
