Tons of new screenshots in the press kit this year, so many that we’re breaking them up into several posts. First up here are a bunch of shots showing off how Seasons and the new UI will look on the Console. Plus some shots showing an improved inventory with crafting materials integrated right into the interface. No more stacks to juggle!?

If you haven’t had time to level up a character on the PTR, one of the fun new additions to the 1-70 has been the usefulness of the blacksmith. As you level him up you can quickly gear your low level character with wildly overpowered weapons and armor. As it stands currently the level restrictions for crafted gear have disappeared, making it much easier to outfit that new character and much less of a chore. While this quickens the pace of the game, to me it doesn’t seem to cheapen it as you don’t bypass much ,and it still is a much longer time commitment than sitting idly by in a torment 6 rift. However it looks like this is not an intended change(though I hope otherwise)courtesy of Nevalistis-

Anyone with much experience playing a level 70 character soon learns that Marquise gems build up into huge stacks. Players who play multiple classes have more use for the different flavors of gem, but eventually almost everyone (especially in Softcore, where you never lose gems and hardly anyone bothers with Amethysts or Diamonds in armor) winds up with hundreds of gems and no purpose for them.

Crafting Material management isn’t such a problem now with the removal of legendary materials, you should be drowning in stash space, right? But changes are still being requested for the handling of the remaining materials and gems. Blizzard trotted out a post they have posted a couple of times since February of this year about ideas they’ve been toying with. It’s worth repeating again, for those who missed it.

Legendary Materials were junked in the recent Patch 2.0.6. Why are they gone and how is the game poorer for their absence? Also, ladders and Patch 2.1 anticipation, plus lots of rambling digressions. Featuring Flux and Neinball.
