In patch 1.0.4, Blizzard will be introducing a new gameplay mechanic designed to reform DiabloIII’s endgame, according to a post on their blog. It’s called the Paragon system.
Paragon will do two things: it introduces a new, post-60 leveling system and tweaks the game’s Magic and Gold Find mechanics.
First things first: after hitting level 60, any experience accumulated will contribute to your Paragon level. Each Paragon level comes with bonuses to core stats, roughly similar to what a character would receive leveling normally.
Coming from someone who hasn't seriously played a real-time-strategy game since "StarCraft," this comparison might sound crazy, but the two early missions in the "Halo Wars" demo felt like Ensemble's simplification makes "Halo Wars" feel like a bizarre "Diablo" action game.
