Josh Mosqueira: 'Loot 2.0 is Coming'
Diablo III's Game Director Josh Mosqueira has obviously decided to be mysterious and as always he's carefully picking his words, so it's not quite clear what he means with his recent tweet 'Loot 2.0 is coming', but it certainly sounds like there is something behind this sentence. Have a look at the conversation and decide for yourself if he's just talking about the expansion or about something a bit sooner.

I feel like they've really cheated the PC players. They could have released a patch to give us better loot.

In the meantime Lylirra keeps being very active on Twitter and while there is nothing mind-blowing, some of her tweets deserve our attention:

@Lylirra Are Enchanting and Paragon Point respecs going to be intended to work as gold sinks in #D3x ?
@eikEn_ Currently, enchanting has gold/material cost (that scales, I believe). Paragon respec does not. Not finalized, so both might change! (Source)
@Lylirra Saw that skill updates are planned for #D3RoS - does this mean no more patches until pre-expansion patch? Poor Demon Hunters
@eikEn_ Currently, we have no other patches planned. That of course may change as development continues. (Source)
Quick clarification, part 1: Currently, post-Paragon 2.0 going live, losing an HC hero will not = loss of shared HC pEXP/pPoints/pLvls. (Source)
Quick clarification, part 2: Still TBD on if currently-dead HC heroes' pLvl will contribute to shared HC pLvl when Paragon 2.0 goes live. (Source)

Posted Sep 3, 2013Yea, but I don't want to get my hopes up. I'll just believe that only living characters xp will be counted, that way I won't be disappointed if they announce dead characters xp doesn't count.

Posted Sep 3, 2013Your both right! Loot 2.0 was originally hinted as coming out after Blizzcon, but it will probably be pushed back. We're looking at MAYBE december or more likely after the Christmas break.
