The gf and I just recently decided to jump back into D3 for a bit after playing some Path of Exiles for a change of pace (no debates about the two games, please). I tried to keep tabs on most of the changes since we've been gone, and I fiddled with Monster Power a bit when that was initially added to the game.
Currently, I'm at a loss for a few features I heard were implemented, but I never got a chance at the time to check them out - those are, in no specific order (actually copied from another post): Keys/Organs/Infernal Machine/Hellfire Ring/Keywardens.
Is anyone able to give a brief rundown of these features and where I can find/look for drops relating to them in game, and if thats a bit long of a request, a simple direction to where I can find that information and do some reading would be much appreciated.;)
Keys drop from special mob in act 1 to 3 and the plan for the machine drop on act 4. Those mob are called keywarden even if the last one don't drop key. You will need 5 stack of NV for a chance to drop a key and more you are up in MP the more chance you got for a key to drop. You will need one of each key to forge an infernal machine. Those machine are use to open portal on act 1 to kill a pair of uber boss. Ex: kull and siegebraker. Each pair have a chance to drop an organ 3 in total. Like the key you will need 5 NV and MP up to have better chance to drop them. With all of the 3 pieces you can craft a hellfire ring with base stat that you choose. The plan for the ring can be bought.
Now ill let the detail for somebody that doesnt write a wall of text with a phone lol !

The season is underway. Don't know if I'll make it through.
This will seem like a shameless plug (because it kind of is) but I think these will get you the information you're looking for. They should explain everything you need to know about getting your keys, machines, organs, and ultimately your Hellfire Ring.
Please let me know if there's any gaps of information I might have forgotten or if you have any questions. I'd be more than happy to give you any other information you need.

Here's info about the Infernal Machine. But the more interesting info is probably what you get from it: Hellfire Rings. It's essentially something you really, really, really want for paragon leveling (but also for leveling new twinks it's helpful). Plus, it's a lot of fun and adds some new stuff to do for the game.
What you need to do to get there?
Get the three keys from the keywarden in the first three acts. You need one key from each keywarden - they're in Fields of Misery (act 1), Dahlgur Oasis (act 2), and Stonefort (act 3). They keys have 10% drop chance for each MP level (e.g., 50% drop chance at MP5, 80% drop chance at MP8) and 5% drop chance at MP0. It's advisable to farm them at the highest MP possible, although the keywardens can be quite nasty. Oh, and almost forgot to add: the keys only drop if you have 5 stacks of Nephalem Valor.
You need the plan to forge the Infernal Machine - which is dropped by the keywarden in the Silver Spire (level 1) in act 4. It's annoying as hell there, so get a friend to go there with you at MP10 to have a 100% drop chance (again, with NV5). You only need the plan once.
Craft the infernal machine, open a new game at desired MP level with the last quest of act 1, and then you can create a portal to the ubers in the barn next to the vendor. BUT you should only go there with a full group (it's easy to find some people, for example in the LFG section of this forum) and only if you have all three portals. The encounter has an enrage timer of 8 minutes (IIRC), so you need some DPS, but you also need some survavibility because they can be quite nasty. That's why it's good to have some mighty friends with you. Every pair of ubers can drop one organ (percentages same as for keys), which is why you want to try them at highest MP possible. But if you fail, the portal is "lost".
Once you have all three organs, you can craft the Hellfire Ring.
By the way, 1.07 had some other changes, the main thing to add here are the new crafting recipes - you should take a look at them, too.

Thanks again for any info.
