Josh Mosqueira: Diablo Team Focused on Patch 2.0.5

Diablo III game director Josh Mosqueira took to Twitter to talk about two upcoming patches for Diablo III. His tweet (seen above) mentions the work being done by the Diablo III development team for patch 2.0.5, and the future big content patch 2.1.0. Here's a look at that, along with Blizzard posts about bug fixes that are on the way.

Check out the Diablo III Future Patches guide for all the information known about the upcoming patches: the bug fix and balance patch 2.0.5, and the big content patch 2.1.


The tweet contains 3 different ideas:

1. The focus of the Diablo III team has been on patch 2.0.5.
2. The work is also going well for the big content that will be in patch 2.1, which is Tiered Rifts and Seasons.
3. Patch 2.1 will go to the Public Test Realm, and he is expecting a lot of player activity to test those out.

None of this is new, but it is great to hear that the development of both patches is going well.


There are many bug fixes scheduled for upcoming patches. Two different issues will be fixed in an upcoming patch (probably patch 2.0.5.) The problems are when the Diablo III client freezes up slightly, and a delay before items show up after they are dropped. Here are the details from the QA Blizzard support forum moderator.



The legendary Strongarm Bracers has a bug with the Critical Hit Chance that is a guaranteed item property. Level 70 versions of the bracer normally roll between 4-6% Critical Hit Chance. As seen in the example above, if that property is rerolled with Enchanting, it instead can go to the very low 1% chance. This will also be fixed in the upcoming patch.
This next week will be a busy one for Diablo III, including the two-year anniversary of the game's release. You can follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or via our RSS news feed for all the latest Diablo III news.
