Like in my title, changes are coming. There are many changes coming to Diablo 3 in the near future. In patch 2.3.0, there are lots of interesting stuff that are going to be in the game. I think the most interesting change is the Kanai's Cube. Kanai's Cube offers the chance to remove a legendary suffix from an item and be able to be used as a passive legendary power. This will not only make a character more powerful but also it could also make many builds more viable. Because of Kanai's Cube and the power creep that is in the game right now, there are going to be more torment difficulties added to the game. I hope Blizzard doesn't just focus on the players DPS stats because even with the new difficulties, I fear that many characters in the game won't have the defensive stats needed to clear the higher torment and greater rifts (which is especially relevant to those that play hardcore). For example, right now I can clear a greater rift 44 on my demon hunter but even with all my defensive stats (I have about 52 million toughness) I don't feel safe clearing a level 44 rift. It is very possible to one's character especially in a high greater rift so easily because you can take so much damage in a very short period of time. If Blizz does keep increasing the monster power level, the gap between the softcore and the hardcore players will become more larger (the softcore players won't have to worry about defensive stats at all ie. glass cannon).
The Vancouver Canucks are making some big time changes to their hockey club. I know in the off season, the team's goal was to get more younger. There were rumors of trading a goalie and also some of their defense men. Well, they just traded Eddie Lack to Carolina for a 3rd round draft pick and a 7th round draft pick (seriously?). I personally don't like this trade at all, they should have traded Ryan Miller instead. Also, the team is looking to trade Kevin Bieksa. This I don't mind as much because there are several d-men that are looking to crack the Vancouver lineup. Well I don't see much other changes to this team so I going to predict that Vancouver will probably make the playoffs next year but have another short playoff run.
Finally Team Canada lost to England in the Women's World Cup today :(. Even though they made some horrible mistakes that cost them goals, I thought the team played very well today. It will be interesting to see how Team Canada progress after this World Cup since many players on the current team are going to retire. The future looks pretty good, there lots of young players that currently playing on this team, although they probably won't be another Christine Sinclair.
Well even with all the changes happening, I wonder if the changes will make any big impact at all. I like all the things that are coming patch 2.3.0 but I wonder if that will solve the problems that is in the game right now. Like I mentioned in my previous blog, once everyone gets to experience all the new features, they might just get bored after 2 months of playing the new season. Same goes for the Vancouver Canucks and Team Canada. Changes are happening but will it make a difference at all?
