And in the higher difficulties, those variables can expand dramatically. (Blue Tacker / Official Forums)
Enemy Difficulty
The enemies are indeed a bit more difficult in Normal difficulty now.
It looks like the responses in this thread are unanimously in-favor. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Unofficial Patch 15 Changes and Moderator Recruitment
In case you missed it. Make sure to check out all the changes in patch 15. Such as new AH search strings, Nephalem Valor resetting when skills are switched, class changes and more. Also don't forget we are still taking applications for new Moderators!
Beta Screenshots
In the first picture we have the
Monk using a new ability that first showed up in patch 13, Tempest Rush. Next we have the Monk again using a new version (thanks to runes) of Fists of Thunder known as Bounding Light. The yellow lighting bolt now has a chance to form and strike multiple enemies. In the last picture we have the Wizard using another ability added to the beta (level requirement lowered) called Arcane Torrent.

Posted Mar 19, 2012I voted in the Curse bracket as well.
And tbh I plan on rolling a Monk, Tempest Rush is a good skill but I'm not a big fan of the channel bit. I can see that could be a probably with packs that don't get in line with the rush and mess everything up ... wasted spirit!

Posted Mar 19, 2012Also, I was a bit dismayed at having to choose between Diablo and Tyrael so soon. I agonized over it for a few minutes before deciding that as much fun as Diablo can be, Tyrael is such an all-around awesome good guy that I couldn't vote against the angel. Sorry, Big D.

Posted Mar 20, 2012oh really now....
my eye is on you
Though if that was the last poll, I would have picked tyrael, the fact is, diablo has a better chance of winning agianst the silly minecraft characters, so voted for him

Posted Mar 20, 2012Yea although I'm guessing if you plan on rushing through probably no more than 20 hours if that. Me and my friends are doing a run from launch till whenever we beat normal no stopping, so we'll see how that goes. Hoping for 24 hours or less

Posted Mar 20, 2012Hey, now...
They're all meant to be different. Some like one play-style, for others, another. Anyway, I'm certain there'll be a WD video soon, if the griping I saw from Molster last night while playing beside Apoc is any hint.
