This looks like a bunch of actually awful changes. Pretty surprisingly since the tone of last patch was to make everything a little better. I'll give it a go but I have a feeling I'll be skipping this season until these get reverted...

Im pretty happy with the map coverage and altars being account wide though
Yeah, that's a really good change. The rest seems so strange after the last patch though
Jesus christ what are they thinking? They nerfed the damage AND defense across the board, they nerfed CC immunity, amount of aspects that gets added is laughable, some malignant hearts are trash, but all of them take jewelery slot(imo they should've added slot to jewelery to accomodate this). Add to that the reports people make that world tiers are level locked and you cannot unlock them even if you do capstone dung under leveled.
ON TOP OF THAT they did not implement any QoL changes. Even something as simple as "refund all" for paragon board so we can try different builds easier. I don't even care about gold cost of these.
I originally played druid, got him to 82, tried both storm wolf and pulv bear builds. I wanted to try sorc if they buffed him a bit in the season, if not then Necro. Now? Now I'm not sure if I'm gonna play this season. Maybe a bit until BG3 comes out because I have nothing to play, but even that is uncertain
Seems like sorcs actually got nerfed? Not looking good for season 1 tbh
Just noticed they added Resistance to All Elements on shields for an affix but resistance is still broken lol
There are a couple of good changes like mobs running away less and nightmare dungeon loot but most of the other stuff doesn't look good.
Helltide chest change is very disappointing
