Has this been confirmed elsewhere? Just odd that it isn't on diablofans/etc.

It's just a patch for a game. No need to "confirm" anything.
The lead producer Mayberry and BlizzPro on Twitter just tweeted it. No more confirmation needed in my opinion.
He gets better, don't worry.I'll probably check it out to see if my Witch Doctor got more or less awesome. WD is so much cooler than everything else in that game, they better not have fucked him up in RoS.
Can somebody explain or point me to an explaination of loot 2.0? Also if someone can fill me in on what they fixed post launch that'd be great.
I'm one of the people that played the game a gross amount at launch and then never touched it again. I'd love to get back to it if the changes are compelling.

Loot 2.0 works in concert with the AH removal to basically make you more likely to get loot that is actually good for you. Anything you craft uses this, and something like 5% of all other drops use it, such that it CANNOT have stats that aren't useful for you (There are still stats you might not like as much, but it's amazing how much less likely a bad item is when it can't have STR INT DEX VIT GOLD PICKUP RADIUS as all of its mods).
As far as post launch, Presumably you already had seen nephalem valor, that's going away in 2.0 but it was a post launch thing. PAragon levels were added a while ago, kind of a grindy additional levelling mechanism for post max level fun, gives you bonus stats when you get one including magic find and gold find, in RoS that is changing so that it raises infinitely and gives you more meaningful upgrades in the form of runspeed, reduced resource costs, crit, etc. It's VERY similar to badass ranks in borderlands 2 if you've played that.
They added monster power difficulties, and reduced inferno in general greatly. Mobs at appropriate difficulties don't tend to one shot you like they used to, and build diversity is much more lax than launch D3 (Barbs don't go tanky anymore for instance typically). In general it's more fun like Diablo should be, less punishing in stupid ways. they reworked legendaries, added tons more, just generally made 'fun' items. Added uber bosses which you fight by farming keys, kind of like the uber tristram stuff in D2, and those give you mats to make a really nice XP gain ring for alts or mains.
The xpac itself is adding a lot of other stuff, but this is just basic things that were added post launch.
Your loss.Fool me once...
Not buying the expansion or downloading the game to test anything out.
Their patching method is shit. Taking forever to fix gamebreaking crap.
I'm almost certain I'll have an issue with the loot still that they could have spent that past 6 months stalling on.
As someone who quit this game shortly after my second campaign playthrough, is there anything I should be doing before RoS launches? I have the CE preordered but am really out of touch with this game.
Bring it. I can't believe that after 215 hours I still want to play more. Best playing ARPG ever.
The PTR was up for everyone for awhile, even without the expansion patch 2.0 is pretty fun. I'll be playing this tomorrow.
Path of Exile is super near and dear to my heart--love that game to death...but there was always something about D3. I've put in 1k hours in each of those (quit D3 over a year+ ago) but there always felt like something missing in PoE compared to D3. Combat wasn't nearly exciting/flashy, but it had much better loot. Now D3/RoS has cleaned all that up.

Link does not work, what time is the patch?

Wait, me a bit confuzzled. The auction house doesn't get destroyed till reaper of souls, yet they're implementing loot 2.0 already? I thought the point was that the two were mutually exclusive.

After 150 hours at launch, I just don't know if I have any more Diablo III left in me.
Does this come with all the newly revised legendaries?

D3 on PS3 owned. Any word on when they might port this over? I look forward to the new class and areas.
