Below is a summary of the key updates, emphasizing the **Realmwalker event**, **rune crafting**, and **balance adjustments**.
## Highlights of Update 2.0.3
### Modifications to the Season Mechanic: **Realmwalker Event**
The **Realmwalker** event, launched in **Season 6**, has attracted extensive player commentary. These enormous world bosses, known as **Realmwalkers**, roam the map and generate waves of foes. However, players expressed concerns about the event’s slow pace, which has been addressed in this patch.
**Key modifications to the Realmwalker event encompass:**
1. **Heightened Base Speed**: The fundamental movement speed of the Realmwalker has been boosted by **15%**, enhancing the event’s dynamism.
2. **Speed Boost from Kills**: The Realmwalker’s speed increases by an extra **10%** for every wave of **Bloodbound Guardians** eliminated. If all three waves are dispatched, the Realmwalker can move **30% faster** in addition to the base speed enhancement.
3. **Accelerated Event Progression**: The overall tempo of the event has been quickened, providing a more captivating experience.
4. **Amplified Monster Spawns**: The number of foes appearing during the event has been raised, and the spawn count will not diminish if just one player follows the Realmwalker. Moreover, the Realmwalker now has a chance to summon a **Treasure Goblin**, adding an exciting twist.
These adjustments are aimed at making the Realmwalker event more exhilarating and rewarding, addressing community concerns regarding its previous sluggishness.
### User Interface Update: **Rune Crafting and Crafting System**
Blizzard has made substantial enhancements to the **crafting user interface**, especially in relation to **rune crafting**. These modifications aim to simplify the crafting process, making it more user-friendly.
**Prominent UI changes involve:**
1. **Crafting Notifications**: When crafting runes, the notification now indicates the **rune being crafted** instead of the runes utilized, enhancing clarity.
2. **Rune Recipes**: Recipes for creating random runes at the jeweler now prominently show the necessary runes, facilitating more effective crafting planning for players.
3. **Tooltip Updates**: Numerous tooltips have been revised for improved accuracy, including the tooltip for exchanging runes and gems in sockets, which now correctly says “socket” as opposed to “pedestal.”
4. **Completion Tooltip**: The tooltip for item completion now specifies that an item must be **tempered twice** before it can achieve full completion, ensuring better understanding of the crafting process.
5. **Abbreviated Damage Numbers**: To minimize screen clutter, damage figures are now abbreviated. For instance, **10,000 damage** will appear as **10k**, making it easier to monitor damage output during high-intensity battles.
These UI changes are part of Blizzard’s continuous commitment to enhancing the crafting system and elevating the overall user experience.
