Diablo III developers outline plans to tweak crowd-control abilities
Crowd control effects are set to get a buff in the future of Diablo III, with a new developer post hitting Battle.net that outlines Blizzard’s plans to tackle the issue. Currently, crowd control effects have a substantially lessened power as you advance through higher difficulties, something that Blizzard intends to correct through a reworked diminshing returns system.
The new system will add a new stat to each monster that tracks its resistance to crowd control effects, a stat that is handled individually to allow for control effects to reduce in duration with increased application. The maths behind it is a delightful insight into the difficulty of successful game design, and is an interesting read as well: take a look at the full new crowd control equations right
