Nevalistis is a bit more active on Reddit than here. Latest comment there from 2 days ago says:
“We’re working on seeing how many fixes we can compile to issue a larger patch for testing and if that’s something we can manage within the PTR time frame. I won’t know for sure when/if that’s happening until a little later this week, but I’ll keep the community updated once I’m more certain.”
Edit: Well this aged worse than milk… what the heck are the chances that I was beat by Nev by 1 minute on the first post in a week…

Thanks Nevalistis. 
If Blizzard could reset the leaderboards that would be very helpful to see how things are performng (e.g., the bug to wizards is skewing the solo/group GR clears).
Should I interpret this as that after this upcoming patch things like functionalities of the new sets are locked in? Because when patch 2.6.7 went live, many things were a mess since we couldn’t test them properly before they went live.

Dude I feel you, I don’t touch Reddit, so thanks!
I’d rather you tried. In fact maybe you should have tried sooner lol!
Correct. We’re actively trying to avoid a similar situation to 2.6.7. That’s both why we had the longer testing period and tried to squeeze in an extra PTR patch.
Just sent off the patch notes for approval. Assuming all goes, well, we’re hoping to deploy it tomorrow (CAVEAT: as with all things PTR, there’s always a possibility it gets delayed to next week).
I’ll try to keep ya’ll updated should things change drastically.

Do patch notes only get released with the patch, or is there a possibility that we’ll get to see the notes today and the patch comes tomorrow?

Are we going to see a Leaderboard Wipe on the PTR to have a better chance to see the changes in effect?

2.6.8a Or 2.6.8svr incoming.
As a developer of a heavily server-depended game, I understand how hard it is to squeeze all the data gathering, balancing, modifying, building new patch and internal tesing in such a short amount of time. So, big respect to the devs, and keep up the good work!
P/s: How can’t I include links in my posts?

Oh Diablo god(dess), give us poor DHs a little bone to chew in this patch…
Just do LB wipe so we can test stuff out again
Write the link as you would normally, then highlight the entire link, then click on the </> button on the formatting bar at the top of the reply window. This will transform your link into preformatted text and make it acceptable to the forum.
We won’t be able to click your link, but we can copy-paste it in our browsers.
Any update by chance? Inquiring minds need to know! Hehe
Their work day is just starting.
