The Diablo III developer blog has been updated with the news that a new "Paragon System", a way to reward top level players with a progression system that will increase core stats as well as gold and magic find. According to devs, it will take as long to progress through the 100 levels of the Paragon System as it did to raise a Diablo 2 character to 99.

Here’s how it works:

• After you hit level 60, any further experience you earn from killing monsters will begin to count toward Paragon levels
• There are 100 Paragon levels
• Every Paragon level will reward you with:
  • Core stats such as Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality in amounts similar to what you’d gain from a normal level
  • 3% Magic Find and 3% Gold Find
• In addition, a distinctive increasingly-impressive border will surround your character portrait in the in-game party frame to denote your Paragon progression, with a new frame earned after every ten levels. Your Paragon level will also be visible to other players wherever your normal level is shown

So... back to diablo 2 huh?

Too bad this piece of garbage is already shunned by the majority

As the previous two mentioned, back to Diablo 2 and no pvp yet...

/yawn

I would log in but... I took an arrow to the knee.

Sry. For real, I don't see how this helps anyone but the most avid players, even then. No new spells, map areas, bosses, items models... anything, wings even?

Certainly no PVP.

AND, PVP will most likely have to be further delayed since this will most likely unbalance whatever they had in the works.

Dang this is way cool.  The new legendary preview sounds pretty cool, now this, plus they are reworking all the skills for each class (not nerfing) to make more usefull builds. These new changes in this upcoming patch may be exactly what will bring me back to Diablo 3.

Of course yes I am still very much looking foward to the PvP patch but still, they are atleast trying very hard to improve D3.

it si a good thing that the 2% crowd is not blizzards focus or we would never get any new games or improvments from them.

That being said i find it to be a nice little game to spend some time with from time to time.

Do not be fooled son. All blizzard cares about is your cash and nothing else.

It is out of their own interest to keep this 'game' alive so people keep spending in the RMAH.

Grats to 1% of the total playerbase, the rest already left and feel robbed.
Never ever i will buy 1 more blizzard product/goodbye form a 2 decades fan.

Well, dunno about the rest of you but I'll definately come back for this if it's done right.

With the proposed system changes and the legendary items changes things are starting to look promising at last. It's a shame it's taken them so long to start getting things right.

Now, if only they'd let us know they were working on more actual content...

Let me get this straight. They are adding 100 lvl after lvl 60 - called a different name, which is basically a level gain stat wise with no skill gain, and a bonus to magic find etc.

And how is that gonna work with the fact that there is nothing pass Inferno difficulty?

Mothanos and Badaboom...

Every time there is a thread which relates to Blizzard or some of its products, they do not hesitate to come and throw dirt. I believe that this is what "hater" means. Do not believe me? Post history is your friend.
