D3v2
,no edit summary
Diablo 3 version 2 (or D3v2) refers to the radically-updated (and improved, in the opinion of most) version of the game that debuted in February 2014 with [[Patch 2.0.1]]. The game state prior to this patch is often referred to as [[Diablo 3 vanilla]].
D3v2 introduced numerous significant game changes, including [[Loot 2.0]], [[Paragon 2.0]], major rebalances to to many of the character [[skills]], an overhaul of the [[combat]] engine, [[clan]] and [[community]] support on Battle.net, and much more. All of these system changes (and many more) are also present in the Reaper of Souls expansion pack.
The fan enthusiasm continued post release and saw many more players active during the weeks leading up to Reaper of Soul's release on March 25, 2014. ==Legacy== The version 2 paradigm was carried over into Reaper of Souls and has been modified and enhanced in many patches subsequently, all of which move further away from the original launch version of the game. In 2014 at a Blizzcon panel[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-2014-panel-evolving-reaper-of-souls], the developers discussed the major changes they'd made to many of Diablo 3's original features, and why they felt these changes were big improvements. That panel was expanded in a very self-critical presentation by Game Director Josh Mosqueira at GDC 2015.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/josh-mosqueira-diablo-3-presentation-gdc-2015]
