Diablo III 1.0.3a Patch Released

Blizzard Entertainment’s action RPG threequel received a v1.0.3a patch this morning, which addresses some game crashes, fixes some exploits, marginally decreases durability damage, and more. The notes:

Classes

• Witch Doctor
  • Bug Fixes
    • Zombie Charger
      • Skill Rune Zombie Bears
        • Fixed a bug where Zombie Bears were unable to attack targets on slopes
        • Zombie Bears should no longer become stuck on objects with which they shouldn’t have collision

Items

• General
  • Equipped items will now take “wear-and-tear” durability damage at half the previous rate
    • Please note that durability loss as the result of normal combat is different from the 10% durability loss characters will incur when they die. Equipped items have always suffered durability loss while fighting, and we are simply slowing the rate at which the loss occurs.
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a bug that was causing Unique monsters to not drop the appropriate amount of loot when slain
  • Fixed a bug with linking items with 3 gem sockets
  • It is no longer possible to create fake achievement links

Bug Fixes

• General
  • Fixed a bug that was causing the “Switch Hero” button to occasionally disappear after leaving a game while in town
  • Fixed several gold and leveling exploits
  • Fixed several game and service crashes (for Mac and PC)
