Diablo III Patch 2.4.2 First Look

The folks at Blizzard have released a first look at their next patch for Diablo III, which will include new Torment difficulty levels up to XIII, new and updated items, updates to the user interface and changes to the adventure mode.

The last two in particular deserve to be covered in more details:

User Interface Updates

Finally, we have a few changes to the user interface. Those who enjoy taking screenshots will soon have a hotkey that hides the in-game UI for cleaner shots. We’re also adding unique pylon minimap icons to Nephalem Rifts and Greater Rifts, and a unique icon for the Menagerist Treasure Goblin.

Adventure Mode Changes

We’re also sweetening Adventure Mode rewards, starting with Nephalem Rifts. You’re now guaranteed a Greater Rift Key when completing any Rift, with a chance to get a second (or even a third) key as you increase the game’s difficulty. We’ve also adjusted drop rates for Infernal Machines, with a 100% drop chance in Torment IV, and an increasing chance for a second machine to drop as you go up in difficulty.

A more in-depth changelog for the PTR version of the patch is also available for your perusal.
