Communites are more basic, providing similar functionality for smaller groups of friends who might all be in different clans. Legendary loot that drops for any player in your clan is broadcast to everyone to see and salivate over. Clans are more structured, with the ability to set officers, messages of the day, and so on. The points are now account-wide, so even a level 1 character can take advantage of your bonuses if you want.Īiding in organizing co-op are new social features such as Clans and Communities. You can also reset your point allocation whenever you like, in case you need a boost. Want extra attack speed? Need to boost your elemental resistance? Go right ahead. While Paragon levels are still accumulated after you've maxed your character level, rather than simply giving small core stat upgrades and a boost to magic find, you'll now put points into a series of four skill trees to boost whatever your character might need. The Paragon system has received a complete overhaul. Besides, with the new “bound to account” restriction, the only way other players can trade you for legendary gear is to be in the same game as you. Since Nephalem Rifts require keys to open, it's more efficient to have as many players as possible in your game each time you open one so everyone maximizes their loot potential. Players can split up to complete bounties alone, but all players in a game get credit and completion rewards, so things get done a lot faster. Killing the boss earns you a good deal of loot, and a pretty sizeable stack of Blood Shards.Īdventure mode also allows for some more meaningful co-op than simply playing the campaign together. Killing monsters in a rift begins filling up a meter on the right side of the screen, and once you fill it up, a random boss shows up. Rifts can have some surprising elements, such as encountering a room filled entirely with treasure goblins, floors of the adorable monsters from Whimsyshire, or even a fabled zone populated with bovine enemies. During your adventures, you'll also receive Rift Key Fragments that grant you access to Nephalem Rifts, which are challenging, randomized dungeons filled to the brim with elite monsters.
