Bonus

Looks like players purchasing Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm will be rewarded (at least) with an achievement
It also looks like players with old sets like Natalya's Wrath will be rewarded with an achievement. Blizzard trying to create
collector's items to preserve their value of the Diablo 3 itempool? Clever.

Diablo 3 Deathmatch - Data mined

Here are some interesting finds I managed to pick up from Diablo 3 files. Here you will find information about the ditched
PvP mode for Diablo 3 (Deathmatch) and some very uncertain future patch predictions supported by these datamines.

Why would you be interested in this? There is a high chance Blizzard will reintroduced some (or most) of their ideas in
some other concept of matchmaking, this kind of behavior has been noted for years in the scene and is to be expected
here as well. Rumors at the end of the thread are there just to bring out discussion, they are not just very improbable but
also potentially very old.

Sources are listed under the corresponding *.stl filenames. STL is short for Stringlist which in other words means lines
of text that are displayed (or meant to be displayed) in-game. You can view the filetype documentation here.

[Guide] Puzzle Ring Goblin Farming

The 1.04 Puzzle Ring has a chance to summon a Goblin when the wearer is hit. A lot of aspiring goblin farmers want to know how it works to gauge it's value. Here is what I've found by testing as well as a guide on how to use it with your MF group.
Current Function:

• The Goblin spawn has a 15 min internal cooldown
• The cooldown expires even if you aren't using the ring (So put it on, kill the goblin, and take it off for 15 min while you use a better ring)
• The cooldown is applied to the character and not the ring
• The goblin spawned will be a 1st act goblin of the game difficulty (I.E. in any act of inferno, an act 1 inferno goblin will spawn)
• The inferno goblin can drop ilvl 63 rares (I've picked up a few myself, don't know if it can drop ilvl 63 set/legendary however)

I found that the cooldown is applied to the character who was wearing the ring when the goblin spawns by wearing 1 Puzzle ring, spawning a goblin, then wearing a 2nd Puzzle Ring. With this information I present this guide for goblin farming groups.

Group Farming Guide:
Instead of all 4 players in the group using a Puzzle Ring, a group of trusted friends can swap 1 ring around to spawn 4 goblins per 15 min. This way only a single goblin spawns at a time and can be easily handled, and the initial investment is much lower. I have tested this with a friend, and can confirm that a single ring will spawn multiple goblins within the 15 min cooldown when shared among the party. Enjoy!

Have everyone in the group equip the ring once prior to starting the run. Equipping the ring seems to start the initial 15 min internal cd.
