Exciting shrine changes are coming to the PTR!

As an aside, we realize XP shrines aren't useful to players who are P100. I want to acknowledge the issue but you won't see any changes to address this in 1.0.8. We also realize that the MF/GF 25% from Fortune Shrines is small relative to the 300% you already have when you are P100. Again, something we could look to improve in the future, but not in 1.0.8. For 1.0.8 we're only going with the change to exceed the cap.

Is act 4 going to be worked on? It seems like a lot of players were interested to play this act but many comment that its still too bare.
We're still tuning density across all Acts, and this includes Act IV. We just haven't made any additional changes to it just yet.
- Leoric’s Hunting Grounds
- Whimsyshire
- Vile Caverns
- The Lyceum
- Cave of the Moon Clan Level 1
- Weeping Hollow
- Cathedral Level 1
- Cathedral Level 2
- The Storm Halls
- The Unknown Depths
- The Eastern Channel
- The Western Channel
- Dahlgur Oasis

Interesting idea. That would probably require more data storage (and UI space), but I'm happy to pass it on. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
Legendary Dyes Still in the Work
We're keen on the idea as well, and we're currently working on making dyes usable with Legendaries. As I mentioned previously, our artists actually have to go back and redo the textures on each of the Legendaries in order to make them dye-compatible, which is why it isn't a quick-fix.
When we have an update for you on this, we'll make sure to let you know. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
