http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/6968517/Introducing_the_Paragon_System-8_20_2012
Here’s how it works:
After you hit level 60, any further experience you earn from killing monsters will begin to count toward Paragon levels
There are 100 Paragon levels
Every Paragon level will reward you with:
Core stats such as Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Vitality in amounts similar to what you’d gain from a normal level
3% Magic Find and 3% Gold Find
In addition, a distinctive increasingly-impressive border will surround your character portrait in the in-game party frame to denote your Paragon progression, with a new frame earned after every ten levels. Your Paragon level will also be visible to other players wherever your normal level is shown
Um... How do I say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE this change.Last edit: 2012-08-21 01:53:37 |

Wow, they basically added in leveling to level 160, with some added bonus on top. That's pretty damn awesome.
And holy cow, 300 magic and gold find built into your character at Paragon level 100? This progression system is exactly what this game needed.
edit: Not sure how I feel about the 300% hard cap on MF, though.

you are aware that paragon 100 will take ages to achieve? you'll easily get a few weeks of use out of your stacked mf, spare for two or three items being replaced by early paragon levels ;P |

| Yeah, I'd like to see the cap maybe at 400% or something, just so MF gear has a little bit of value in the endgame. But it looks like it will take so extremely long to get there that 99% of players wont even get close. |

Love it. My main endgame farmer is a DH with around 170 ish magic find. It's difficult for me to upgrade anything because getting slightly better stats at the cost of magic find feels like I'm shooting myself in the foot.
I felt the same way in the end with Diablo 2. I felt that they should have reduced the importance of MF on gear in D3 and it looks like they're finally going in the right direction.Last edit: 2012-08-21 02:04:56 |

| I like that this, together with the droprate boost, makes it worthwhile to kill trash - i personally like to clear an entire dungeon but it feels inefficient. |

| One thing is that the magic find is capped at 300, so the more you progress the lower the premium on mf items. Ultimately at level 100,they are useless. |

| Getting 100 paragon levels seems like impossible with that difficulty lol. 59->60 normal level is equal to 1->2 paragon level. |

| Awesome changes, but it looks like it makes mf gear ultimately useless, right? |

Ultimately, but for regular people, not for at least a few months hopefully if they get the leveling right. |

Great change. I mean, it'll affect the "fun" gameplay only marginally. But people who already grind a lot will find a it a bit more enjoyable if they see another XP bar raise.
And the less important MF on item gets the better. |
