We’ve all gotten a piece of gear that was almost perfect but just happened to have a single rubbish stat. The stat changes with Enchanting and the appearance altering Transmogrification are welcomed additions, particularly the former. While these new loot improvements aren’t dependent on Reaper of Souls, the new artisan Myriam Jahzia does offer some powerful new options. With the closure of the auction house it’s actually become thrilling again to run through entire zones just to hunt those elusive legendaries and artisan plans. There are still a significant number of duds cluttering inventory space but overall Diablo III has been given a new lease of life.
There had been an enormous improvement before the expansion but with the amount of chests, armour and weapon stands dotted through Act V’s zones, it’s a paradise of riches. With the new Loot 2.0 system and Smart Loot – all those item drops are now far better on average, with a whooping great decline in the number of trips needed back to town. In fact Reaper of Souls feels as if it includes more events than the entire original Diablo III campaign the maps are certainly much larger. All the new zones hide a lot more nooks and crannies to be discovered, and they include a few mini-dungeons usually featuring a special event.
It’s also plagued with health draining swamp water. It’s then followed by the sharply contrasting Blood Marsh, which is a festering swamp littered with boggart ambushes and traps that fling you around. West March itself is full of crowded streets that hide small courtyards and winding paths in a darker palette reminiscent of Diablo II. The new zones in Act V are a welcome break from everything we’ve been through in Diablo III. You’ve the world of Sanctuary at your feet. Tyrael enlists our aid along with the new beginnings of the Harodrim.
Malthael has returned and seized the opportunity to conclude the Eternal Conflict once and for all it’s just that Sanctuary is kind of in the way. It was no quiet entrance to be sure, as already it had a profound effect before actually delivering anything exclusively tied to it.īlizzard introduces a new villain with Reaper of Souls as Act V includes the area of West March, which until now had only be referenced through ambient ramblings from dusty journals and the occasional backstory jibber-jabber from two of the companions. The Reaper of Souls expansion has heralded much change in the Diablo III landscape and before it even arrived it swung its scythe at the old ways of loot drops, gear stats and even plunged the auction house into oblivion.
