[[File:Season_9.gif|x300px]]

== GENERAL CHANGES ==
* Permanent summons will now save between games (This excludes things such as reanimates, revives and ravens)
** Note: Your summons level is determined by your skill level when entering the new game

* Separated NHD to be for each missile id + owner combination
** This means players / traps will no longer cancel out each other's damage when dealing damage to the same target
** For additional information on Next Hit Delay check out the following link: https://www.theamazonbasin.com/wiki/index.php/Missile

* Increased sprite limit to prevent "Shenk bug"
** This bug happened when too many sprites were on screen at once causing things to become temporarily invisible

* Rewrote a large portion of the server code

* Reduced volume of menu music

* Updated player count modifiers for HP from +50% per player to +70%

* Reduced delay to re-enter town portals (75 frames to 15 frames)

* Increased the maximum hit chance to 100%
** The chance to hit above 95% has harsher scaling with attack rating
** This also means that ignores target defense stats will now grant 100% chance to hit on non boss mobs instead of 95%

* Added additional melee hit range when checking for damage dealt
** This should cause melee users to miss less when they attack at max range and a monster walks away from them

* Interacting with locked equipment or locked charms will now play the "It's locked" sound effect (for real this time)

* Added strings for other languages

* Prevent transmute when both a regular key and a Skeleton key are in the cube

* Prevent cow recipe transmute if the portal is already open

* Added the follow chat commands for players to check some character statistics 
** (This works on single player as well)
** Note: These stats are applied to whoever deals the killing blow
*** .kills all (shows total monster kills on the character)
*** .kills bosses (shows total andariel, duriel, mephisto, diablo and baal kills)
*** .kills maps (shows total map boss kills)
*** .kills dungeons (shows total dungeon boss kills)
*** .kills dclone (shows total diablo clone kills and tier 2 diablo clone kills)
*** .kills rathma (shows total rathma kills and tier 2 rathma kills)
*** .kills ubers (shows total uber tristram kills)
*** .kills ancients (shows total uber ancient kills)
*** .kills players (shows total PvP kills)
*** .deaths (total amount of deaths on the character)
*** .played (total character play time)

* Adjusted exp penalty for levels 20-24
** New scaling uses the old up-to-level-24 formula until level 19 instead, and from level 20 onwards we use an adjusted formula based on the vanilla level 25+ formula, that primarily allows better leveling in normal difficulty zones but does not grant much extra experience for higher difficulties until you reach level 25 as in the vanilla game

* Added a new character bound seasonal achievement aura to any player who reaches level 99
** This also works for characters in Single Player
** The top 3 players of their class will still get account wide versions of the auras infused with lightning

* Half Freeze Duration now changed so 2x Half Freeze Duration works like Cannot Be Frozen

* Increased gold stash limit from 5m to 8M 
* Increased player inventory gold limit to 1M, regardless of character level

* Removed cooldown on skills in town

* Runes will now always drop in their stacked form
* Hellforge will now drop stacked gems and runes

* Changed A4 Light Mercenary skill Holy Nova to Holy Light

=== Multiplayer ===

* Added GS selection buttons to the Create Game screen
** The description textbox will now only be used for game descriptions again

[[File:S9PatchNotesFile1.png]]

* Added the option to filter by game server by using "gs:" (Thanks @GenjisRevenge)
** To filter only Game Server 1:  gs:1
** To filter multiple Game Servers:  gs:1,2,5

* The Filter textbox on the Join Game screen can now be tabbed into and out of

* The game list will now start filtering on the 1st character entered, rather than on the 2nd
* Fixed a bug that caused the game list to be empty when pressing backspace in the Filter textbox

=== Website ===

* Game account password reset now available (in your user settings page). The security checks for this are fairly rigorous so be sure to open a website ticket if it rejects you unexpectedly.

* Dashboard view is now the "home" page when logged in

* Added a "find similar" functionality when creating listings in order to get price checks

* Added a "builds" functionality allows you to take a snapshot of character builds so you can save a cool build before deleting them and reusing their name

* New feature being tested (soon to be released) where you can set your saved filters to auto-notify you in discord when a new matching listing is posted. You must have Discord integration set up for this to work (do this in the user settings page).

[[File:S9PatchNotesFile2.png]]

=== Loot Filter ===

* Item Level/Affix level will now only show on relevant items

* Glide specific colors will now use their non-glide counterparts when in ddraw mode (previously these would have all been grey)

* Fixed a bug which caused item names using Glide colors to get cut off prematurely (Thanks Kanzeon)

* New %LBRACE% and %RBRACE% keywords for "{" and "}" symbols so they can be used in descriptions (Thanks BetweenWalls)

* EQUIPPED now applies to equipped mercenary items too (Thanks BetweenWalls)

* Removed extra trailing/leading space from magic items that didn't have both a prefix and suffix (Thanks BetweenWalls)

* Fixed a bug which caused some items to crash the game on mouseover

* Reworked loot filter condition evaluation which increases performance by 1.4x-2.6x, depending on the filter (Thanks exiledagain)

* Reworked item rename functions to be cleaner/more performant (Thanks Kanzeon)

* Pointmod-capable regular (white/gray) items can now use one %NL% in their name <span class="nmod">''(fixed - wasn't mentioned)''</span>

=== Bug Fixes ===

* Fixed next hit always misses (NHAM)
** This bug caused the next attack/cast after being put into a recovery frame to always miss (Things like hit recovery or block would trigger this bug). This should cause melee in particular to feel much better than previously

* Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause corrupted Kadala's heirloom to vanish

* Fixed a 1.07 bug that prevented champion/boss monsters from being blue & purple

* Fixed an issue that caused high CPU usage in the main menu

** Corruptions remain the same density modifier values

* Added recipes for cubing 3 maps of the same tier (any map of same rarity and tier e.g. three magic Tier 1 maps) into 1 random map of the same tier and rarity
* Fixed the Cartographer's Orb recipes to allow any combination of maps of the same tier
