Patch notes

These are the official patch notes for version 2.0.3 released by Grinding Gear Games.[1]

New Microtransactions

Divination Cards

Unique Item Rarity Rebalance

  • Rare and super-rare Unique Items now drop four times as often. While still difficult to obtain, we feel that the interesting builds enabled by these uniques should be available to more players. Uniques from previous leagues (available through Zana) have not been made more common.
  • Goldrim, Brightbeak, Storm Cloud and Wake of Destruction have been moved to more-common rarity tiers.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a client crash with Torchoak Grove that was introduced in the 2.0.2 patch.
  • Fixed a client crash when selecting the quest to kill the Bandit Lords in the Quest Panel.
  • Fixed a client crash when using Vaal Lightning Strike on a Frost Wall.
  • Fixed a bug where some of the effects created by Lightning Warp would disappear if the skill had too much duration reduction.
  • Fixed a bug where Spark projectiles wouldn't be created if the user was casting them while facing a wall and standing too close to that wall.
  • Fixed a bug where using Raise Spectre supported by Spell Totem would result in you being unable to move or use skills.
