Curse Weekly Roundup
The gaming world has been overwhelmed by Halloween and to give you the exact details on that is this week's Curse Weekly Roundup. Check the video for lots of info on World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2, Minecraft, League of Legends and many, many more games.

[arconic]

well that would probably explain why i haven't seen the watchtower since the patch.

[Freezard]

Different sounds for identify and town portal.
Explosion range of the Possessed and family visible.
For some people (like me), FPS drops in Rakkis Crossing and vs Maghda.

Overpower makes a new reset sound, much more loud.

[Angzt]

Not only has the Watchtower been moved but it had its layout changed as well:
Before the patch, the first level was tiny and only contained a shrine and 2-3 trash packs while the second level always had a resplendent chest and up to 6 (from my experience) elite/champion packs.
Now, both levels are evenly sized and each of them tends to contain 1-3 packs. The resplendent chest is no longer guaranteed.

Because of this and the new, much longer way from the waypoint to the Watchtower it's nowhere near as good a farming spot as it used to be...

[Bananaramaaah]

three of these things can be found in the patchnotes:

-events got unique monsters added - this was in the notes. they did it, because an event would otherwise grant 2 stacks, i think.
-character reordering - this was in the notes.
-watchtower relocation - this was in the notes (but it had to be posted about, because i think a lot of people read over it and are still searching northern highlands)

thanks for the news

There is another change which I think is not listed in the patchnotes (correct me if I'm wrong, but I could not find it):

When in game, in the upper right corner of the screen, the game now displays you difficulty level (along with monster level when enabled)

the monster power is obviously new, but the difficulty level wasn't there before, i'm certain!

[djlard]

Yeah that new Fan of Knives is nerfed. It is less effective, because it makes only one hit...

Another unwritten changes:

-There is your banner in single player (even if it is for nothing) on the really bad place.
-Jar of Souls event is 100% guaranted in one tomb
-When Jar of Souls finish its time, rest of skeletons are not automatically slain.
-Vendors in act1 are bugged or something, because sometimes they have only weapons and repair (inferno)
-There still can drop items ilvl 57 in inferno.

No, this is not true. It's more that Jar of Souls or the other event is a 100% guaranteed event.

[SpNiz]

I've gotten ilvl 57 follower item, both scoundrel and templar. And a 54 enchantress ilvl item..

[Rvo2099]

Witch Doctor's Corpse Bomb now shows the explosion radius too.

[duckwilliamson]

Chargers now throw forward a light blue graphic warning where they're charging (saved my life in HC in inferno ice caves as he was charging from off screen).

[Kinch]

Witch Doctor rune Manitou (spirit barrage) now destroys environment objects such as barrels, doors, etc.

[overneathe]

Thanks a lot for all of these guys. What we've managed to confirm we've added on top. And if a screenshot was possible we added one as well!

@duckwilliamson
Could you perhaps throw a screenshot of that? Can't seem to find that blue light. :<

It's in Southern Highlands, but that was mentioned in the patch notes.
You'll find it along the ridges of the zones, exactly how it was in the Northern Highlands.

[asdfywea]

Well, i noticed that arcane enchanted, if they cast an arcane beam and die before it starts spinning, the beam disappears. I'm not sure if it also disappears when is already spinning, haven't kept an eye out for that really

[StuRedman]

Vendors do not sell trinkets (rings and ammis) anymore.

[aljung]

The different runes of  Electrocute of the wizard have more distinct colors (they used to all be the same)
The different runes of evasive fire (DH) look slightly different.

I've noticed a few people mention this but I haven't had the "luck" of finding it for myself. Every time I check vendors in Inferno they always sell their rings and amulets. Could you tell me the specific vendor you've noticed?
