I was still not happy with how difficult settings worked in the game, so I completely overhauled it into a better system. -Quest Deletion is no longer possible.
-All old quest saves are automatically saved in normal difficulty.
-Normal, Nightmare, and Hell now have their own separate quest completion progress.
-By entering the world, the game now asks which difficulty you want to play. -Unlocking a new difficulty is based on the final Act 3 quest; for each difficulty, you need separate quest completion to proceed. -Uber quests can no longer be done on Normal and Nightmare difficulty; the Diamond merchant is also only available on Hell difficulty.
-Loot pool level 5 items no longer drop on Normal, only on Nightmare and Hell, with Hell having a higher chance. -Mercenaries have increased health.
*If the Player has reached character level 90, the mercenary has all resistance 75%, including damage reduced 75%.
*Mercenaries overall can tank more damage. -Potions of increased health now upgrade 1500 health and can stack up to a maximum of 2 per game instance.
*The price of potions of increased health has been increased from 2000 gold to 4000 gold.
*Potions of increased health have a level requirement now of level 90. -Potion of Defense can stack up to a maximum of 1 per game instance now. -Potions of fire/cold/lightning resistance last from 60 to 180 seconds now.

Fire/Cold/Lightning/Physical skills are nerfed and now add 30-100 damage, they seemed a little bit too overpowered stat type. The cooldown bonus stays the same.
This patch solves some oversight in previous scaling problems that monsters had in lower-level areas on higher difficulty settings.
