New difficulty levels, Torment XI-XIII have been added to the game
Our moderation manager Bagstone has updated his a handy difficulty guide with in-depth info on each of them!
Gold rewards have been adjusted:
Greater Rift 26 and up has been rescaled to a flat 3% increase per tier
Torment VII-XIII has been changed to match Greater Rift reward scaling
The cost to empower a Greater Rift has been reduced to match the new gold reward rate
The amount of gold dropped by the Gilded Baron Treasure Goblin has been reduced
Crowd Control vs Enemies
Knockbacks now apply a flat 40% increase to crowd control resistances
Monsters cannot be knocked back if they are over 65% crowd control resistant
This greatly affects the use of "pulling" skills like Cyclone Strike in high GRs.
Powers that apply knockbacks continuously, such as Black Hole, can bypass this resistance if they already knocked a monster back successfully. These powers increase the crowd control resistance by 20% per knockback instead of 40%

Haedrig's Gift Sets
The steps that unlock these gifts are different this season - rather than tying the rewards to specific steps of the Season Journey, Haedrig’s Gifts are now tied to completing certain chapters.
ChaptersII, III, and IV will all reward you with one Haedrig’s Gift. In addition, Chapter IV will also be the reward step for the new Portrait and cosmetic item for Season 7.
Below you can see which Set each class is awarded for completing these Chapters in Season 7:

Graphical and sound effects have been added to the teleport
Each hit done increases healing received by 1% for 5 seconds

Torment levels V-XIII have an increasing chance for a second machine to drop
Nephalem Rifts
Greater Rift Keys are now guaranteed from any Nephalem Rift and increasing the difficulty now increases your chance of getting a second or third key
Greater Rifts
Some of the Experience earned in a Greater Rift has been shifted from killing monsters to the reward for closing the rift. The overall amount of Experience earned should be roughly the same
USER INTERFACE

Fixed an issue that caused the Fireball proc from Gyana Na Kashu to not do damage to a target if the target has previously been hit with the amplified damage of Lashing Tail Kick from Scarbringer

Season 7 F.A.Q.
Q: When does Season 7 start?
A: Season 7 will begin Friday, August 5 at 5:00 p.m. PDT in North America, 5:00 p.m. CEST in Europe, and 5:00 p.m. KST in Asia. For assistance with time zones, click here.
Q: How long will Season 7 last?
A: All seasons going forward will last approximately three months.
Q: When are the non-Seasonal Leaderboards being wiped?
A: Non-Seasonal Leaderboards are tied to what we call “Eras.” The next Era is planned to end on Friday, August 5 at 5 p.m. PDT, when Season 7 begins.
Q: Will Seasons be coming to console?
A: Some features on console are best designed for that platform, and the same is true for the PC version of the game. A large part of the fun of Seasons is the entire community rerolling heroes together at the same time. Because the offline and disconnected nature of console does not support this style of play, we do not currently have plans to implement Seasons on console.
Q: What will happen to older Seasonal records?
A: As we continue on into additional Seasons, we will no longer be able to store some personal Seasonal records. While Season 7 will store your personal bests for all Seasons to date, at some point in a future Season, we will begin removing old personal bests, beginning with Season 1. This will be true regardless of your personal participation in previous Seasons. We will have more information on this change at a later date.
Seasonal Leaderboard records are not being cleared, and will remain archived both in game and on our website.
