Below you'll find a list of hotfixes which address various gameplay and service issues affecting Diablo III. Hotfixes are updates we make on our end without requiring you to download a new patch. Some of the hotfixes below will go live the moment they are implemented, while others may require a restart to go into effect. Please keep in mind that some issues cannot be addressed without a client-side patch update. We will continue to update this thread in the days ahead as additional hotfixes are applied.

Hey guys,

So the Web Team recently made a few bug fixes to the Game Guide. These fixes should now allow the Game Guide to pull correct data from the game.

Two high profile fixes include:
Stormshield now displaying +1 Random Affix, as intended.
Natalya's Embrace no longer displaying +170-200 as a DEX roll. This was never intended.

I'll report back once I am 100% sure the Game Guide is without error. Thank you!

As the title suggests, we're going to be reducing the amount of damage monsters do in Inferno whenever Monster Power is enabled. Before I detail what's changing, though, let me first explain why we're making some adjustments.

When we originally designed and implemented the bonus values for monster damage in Inferno, we were unaware that a bug was causing monster abilities (i.e. Rare and Champion affixes) to not scale correctly with each Monster Power level. While this bug was caught during testing and did not make it into the game, the result of it being fixed meant that monster damage -- specifically damage done by monster abilities -- was ultimately higher at MP1 through MP10 than we intended it to be when 1.0.5 released.

So, to bring monster damage back in line with our original goals for the system, we're implementing a hotfix that will reduce the scaling bonus to monster damage in Inferno difficulty by approximately 25% for all Monster Power levels.

Here are the new damage values that will be hotfixed in for each MP setting:

• MP1: 109.60% (down from 114%)
• MP2: 120.12% (down from 130%)
• MP3: 131.65% (down from 148%)
• MP4: 144.29% (down from 169%)
• MP5: 158.14% (down from 193%)
• MP6: 173.32% (down from 220%)
• MP7: 189.96% (down from 250%)
• MP8: 208.20% (down from 285%)
• MP9: 228.18% (down from 325%)
• MP10: 250.09% (down from 371%)

Please note that these changes will only apply to monster damage in Inferno difficulty. Monsters in Normal, Nightmare, and Hell will be unaffected and continue to use their current values.

This hotfix is currently scheduled to be released tomorrow morning during normal Tuesday maintenance in the Americas, which means the new bonus damage values in Inferno will take affect once the game servers come back online.
