Ok, so for those of you who stuck around, here's a sneak peak!

This map is called the Abandoned Old Hospital, loosely based around Singapore's Changi Hospital. That place is said to be the most haunted location in Singapore! The level design is maze like, and heavily inspired by Gui Da Qiang.



Like Changi Hospital in Singapore, this map is located in Seaport itself. No boat ride necessary!



As for the monsters, there are 3 main types, with 2 of them having elemental variations:



The map and monsters are mostly done, but we still have a bunch of balancing to do. If you're interested in beta testing this new map, head over to our Discord: https://discord.gg/eKmg6sV52u

As much as this image gives some D2 nostalgia, it made things a real pain! That is why we finally introduced the Loot Filter! The filter can be customized, more details here.



Other changes this patch (0.306 & 0.307):
-Fixed force pull and other knockback effects not working correctly.
-Small performance optimizations to offscreen items and creatures.
-Fixed player misses not colored grey.
-Reduced enemy avoidance scaling.
-Increased hell gate skip price and reduced sell value of items.
-Added check to automatically teleport player to town if saved map is invalid.
-New arenas for temple hell island map.
-Hell island portals bigger and spawn away from boss original spawn point.
-Tweak to AI/minion responsiveness.
-Fixed creature tinting when loading a game.

Up Next

We're also beginning to work on new content, so the update after this might take a while longer.

Thanks for playing!
