Unstacking stays the same - you can unstack your Items via the Horadric Cube.This is a nice quality-of-life change that was heavily requested.Automatic Stacking was introduced for all stackable items (Runes, Gems, etc.) - From now on, Stackable items will stack automatically when moved by right-clicking or when picked up.Mana Burn was fixed - Monsters with Mana Burn will no longer drain all your Mana instantly.This new mechanic also works with Amplify Damage.The Piercing mechanic was changed - It now works at below 0 Resistance but at 50% Efficiency.Rune drop rates are not affected by this Magic Find change!.It will also make gear a bit more scarce which should be healthy for the game's economy.This change will make Magic Find stat from Items much more useful overall.Calm down, this does not affect MF stats you get from Items, but rather the modifiers you find on maps.Maps were rebalanced - The bonuses to Experience and Magic Find, that spawn on maps, were reduced by 50% (if a Map previously provided a 30% Exp increase, it will now provide only 15% Exp increase, etc.).Map re-roll price will stay the same which will make it relatively more expensive (smaller maps = faster clears = more potential re-rolls).

This change will make Maps more dynamic.In Season 3, all Maps will be around the size of the River of Blood.Map Sizes were reduced - Developers have felt that some of the new Maps were simply too big which has led them to reduce their sizes a bit.

These are not the official patch notes, but rather a sneak-peek into the upcoming Season 3 changes. Important Note: Please remember that some of the values might still change and some changes might even be reverted. And we have prepared a full recap because of this! Below, you will find a list of all the changes that were shown, hinted at, or mentioned during Season 3 Preview Developer Streams.

If you've missed them, VODs are still available, however, these streams are over 9 hours long when combined so we'd understand if you didn't want to watch them. The recent Developer Streams have shed a lot of light on the changes it will bring to the game. It's scheduled to launch on July 23rd with short closed and open betas that will be running several days prior to the release. PD2's Season 3: Domination is finally upon us.
