In between releasing new updates and the Real-Money Auction House, Blizzard has implemented an array of hotfixes in Diablo 3, eliminating some glitches, while removing an exploit that allowed Monk characters to infinitely stack a damage buff by using the Combination Strike ability.

Diablo 3 came out last month and, since then, developer Blizzard has kept on releasing updates and patches for the game’s client, while implementing hotfixes on its servers.

After releasing patch 1.0.2c yesterday, the studio has now revealed a wave of hotfixes, aimed at removing some of the glitches that were caused by its own servers and not the game client.

From a problem with achievements, to issues with followers or exploits, quite a lot of things were solved by Blizzard, so check out the full list of hotfixes below.

General - In cooperative games, monster damage will no longer increase when additional players join the game. Please note that monster health will still scale based on the number of players in a party

Bug Fixes

- Players can no longer gain achievements they have not earned by joining a Public Game with someone who has earned those achievements - Monks can no longer infinitely stack the damage buff from Combination Strike by changing weapons. - Tyrael no longer has collision when he is your active follower and his damage has been reduced - Pots of ashes in Act I and vases in Act IV will now drop less gold when destroyed - Resplendant chests will no longer spawn in the Underbridge - Fixed a bug where players could turn in the same quest repeatedly and always receive rewards as though they were completing the quest for the first time Expect to see a new patch tomorrow, when Blizzard debuts the Real-Money Auction House feature for Diablo 3 players in Europe, as well as a much larger update 1.0.3 that’s set to appear later this month.
