It’s difficult to forget Error 37 – the horrible error message that destroyed the dreams of many Diablo III players back when the game first launched. Since then, Blizzard have gone a long way in making up with their player base thanks to the fantastic, game-fixing, and all around good Reaper of Souls. The expansion has seen regular content updates which has kept many people clicking, long after release. Patch 2.2.0 is no different. It will keep Diablo III fans glued to the game for even longer, and it arrives just in time for the start of Season 3.
The patch is live on both PC and Console. Click on whatever platform you use to see a detailed breakdown of what you’ll be getting. Here are some of the highlights, as pointed out by Blizzard themselves:
- Three new Treasure Goblins have made their way into the realm of Sanctuary. Riches await for those who can catch them!
- When crafting gems and items, the entire quantity will now be crafted at once
- You can now increase your Blood Shard cap by achieving a personal best in Solo Greater Rifts
- Two new Legendary potions, two new Legendary gems, and dozens of new and revamped Legendary powers have been added
- Several sets across all six classes have received significant improvements and new Barbarian, Demon Hunter, and Wizard sets have been added to the game
These changes of course, coincide perfectly with the start of Season 3 which for us in South Africa, kicks off this Friday evening. Over on Reddit, there is a neat thread which summarises everything you’d need to know about it.
I’m excited for Season 3, and I’m happy with the new additions and changes brought by patch 2.2.0. I thought I was done with Diablo a while back, until a fuzzy friend of mine pulled me back in. That old bug has bitten me – I simply must kill ALL the things, keep my eyes peeled for that odd juicy drop, and fill that experience bar at the bottom… over and over again!
I will definitely be visiting Sanctuary more frequently. What about you? Are you still enjoying Blizzard’s mad clickathon, or have you left your demon slaying days behind?

Is this still not Offline playable? I’d love to get into this on my laptop but I have no internet connection.

I’ve actually come to accept the online part.
Allows them to do tweaks and hotfixes server side so there’s no need to constantly download the latest patch.

I would prefer to download hotfixes etc once a month or when it suits me, rather than being online to play SP. They should just have made 2 profiles that could in no way interact, one offline and one online. I have at least 3 friends who would instantly get it if they could activate at my house and play offline at theirs

The only way they could do it would be to remove all non-Season leaderboards and still keep Seasons as online-only. Online-only sucks for those who don’t have constant internet access but it prevents all the duping and savefile-hacking we see in the offline console versions (and thus why the consoles don’t have leaderboards or seasons).

I played through it twice on my PS3 before it YLOD on me. Started playing on my “work” laptop and haven’t looked back. There’s still loads of PC games in the ToysRus discount bins, haha.

Friday will be another Red Bull fueled marathon of leveling followed by a 3 hour nap and then back to finish up max level. Wizard all the way for Season 3 !

I actually got it at midnight launch, installed and played. Only problem I had was some lag, never error 37

You’re one of the lucky few back then.

yip no error 37 at launch either, was wondering what all the fuss was about at the time.

I only recently started enjoying the game (I avoided get RoS due to how crap D3 was at launch). Now, finally, it is the game we were meant to receive at launch! Great game now. Hope the patch doesn’t break my cap for the month!

I haven’t bought RoS, simply because I cannot sit and click any more…D3 filled, in abundance, my need for click click loot etc. I certainly haven’t developed another need for it, doubt that I would for the next ten or so years…

“Blizzard have gone a long way in making up with their player base thanks to the fantastic, game-fixing, and all around good Reaper of Souls”
Yet they are too stupid to make RoS a DLC for console. I bought D3 at full price when it came out, then they released RoS and it’s only available bundled, even on PS store. The least they can do is give a 50 or 60% discount, or ANY discount for that matter, to players that have the original game. Blizzard clearly don’t care about their players.

I hear you dude, here is a possible solution. I am assuming you have a ps3. Diablo 3 ultimate edition is currently R413 at kalahari, go to the dealbreaker.co.za and look for kalahari vouchers, there is a voucher for R100 off on anything over R250. You can buy the game for R313 then sell your original disc (if you bought a physical copy) and get sum bucks from that. Its more expensive for ps4 and xbone unfortunately but I sorted out my one friend with his copy on xbox 360. Hope this helps.

Great advice, I’ll try that, thanks.
I’ve tried selling my disc (ps3 is correct) online before to get some money for UEE, but had no takers. I’ll sell it at a 2nd hand store (BT Games usually gives R50-R150 per game). Then I can get RoS at a decent price 😀

No stress dude, check takealot too, they might have it cheaper there.

Oh yeah sorry, completely forgot about that. I also think it was silly that RoS wasn’t available in DLC form. PC players at least didn’t have to cough up like R599-R699 when it was released – I think it cost like R399 or something. Hopefully you’ll be able to find it at a much cheaper price now 🙂
