They should ban both Paladin and Sorc for a whole ladder to see where the problems in balancing are

Seemless patch release and stable servers with no downtime.

Event name: We love Diablo!
Effect: Every player killing Diablo gets their blizzard account deleted.
Hard to say what do they mean by that. Could be something like self found who will make it first to hell baal.
Or new zones like uber tristram but only for time of event.
Hard to say what could be reward.
Maybe MF buff

Probably no special even for this fist season.
But if we look at some of the events from D3 it could be stuff like extra EXP and gold, unique items and gems or temporary buff effects.
It can be used as a test bed to features they might bring to the base game.
Is this a recent statement from Twitter/Reddit or did I miss something big in previous patch/ladder announcements?
Yeah imagine a Speedrun Ladder: 1. solo overall + 2. solo for each class + 3. 8 players teams. Basically speedrun records. Game automatically starts your timer when you enter game.
Then imagine a Holy grail Ladder: 1. solo any class + 2. solo one class only + 3. 8 players grail (Team grail, any member donates its drops)
Then imagine a “Den of Evil” quest on all areas, simply clearing whole areas, who ll be first.
And imagine the game will automatically mark it off list when you identify item.

yes in the end of the big announcement he said they will announce some ladder events soon:
“We do have some great community events and plans for the Ladder launch, which we will be revealing in the coming weeks.”

First 5 players to retweet something on tweeter will have an instant lvl 99 character.

All I keep thinking about is some sort of ladder buff, first thing that I’m guessing is a minor XP boost. After all, the ladder length is reduced versus the original game. The grind up to 99 is not what many would consider ‘fun’. I sure as hell ain’t trying to reach 99. I like the game, but not that much. 
We’ll see.

Sounds more like Dev round tables and joining streamers over anything game side, we will see though.
I just hope they focused on the core issues still plaguing the game and that could/will plague the first ladder, instead of stupid flashy publicity crap.
If they can do both, all for it. If they can only do 1 or the other, focus on making the game experience, what we expect and deserve. Hell, what was promised, deliver!

They will probably find a way to add a battle pass. So they can get more $ every ladder.

If so, you can count me out!
Here to kill monsters and find loot. Not to subscribe, not click notification bell, not help rack up streamers earned advertisement dollars, etc.
