D2 was released 2000.
Seems like you are the mad noob. You behave like a redneck teen.
False information.
XP is crazy for 97/98.
before it’s a moderate increase.
I hope it lasts 1 month, just to see you explode.
I’m hoping PTR lasts for 2 months.

test?? and what we should test?? the terror zones? that’s easy to test by the developers, no need a whole community to test his trash “update” for free.
When they make a real update then i will test it, for now, i don’t even have any “hype” to play a new ladder.
I will play HC this new seasson, probably die 2-3 times or lose my full geared character and stop playing again, there’s nothing new, there’s no point to play ladder but fresh economy.
The main problems are still there and these developers refuse to hear them to fix them.
i can write a half book there but will be worthless until those developers hear the people.

I dislike terror zones, it will be the go to place so it’s not optional, it’s random so I might hit a terror zone I have no interest in and log out and wait for cows or chaos or whatever prime ones come around. Probably be a site tracker at some point for people to update.
Dunno very underwhelming update for me, seems like it will be a season thing, Season 2: Season of Terror, so maybe it will be improved or removed after season 2.
I applaud them for their work, and I do like changes, just feels poorly done but maybe this is just a piece of it.
The only thing that concerns me a bit is that if the zones are random and you are trying to rush someone through hell and suddenly the place where you needs to go turns into a terror zone lol
I think that eventually someone will figure out a pattern and be able to predict the next TZ.
But here’s my main concern and I would like your feedback on it.
Remember when the 1st Diablo clone event was planned? The servers crashed and a lot of people could not even log in until the event was over.
This happened again until people stop caring about annies. If popular tz like cow level, tristram, arcane, cs etc are active, players will rush to play on these hours and may cause issues for players who just want to play normally. Remember, asian server players can all migrate to EU and USA servers and vice versa

A very good point… Perhaps random TZ areas per account would be a good way to eliminate the possibility of a server load surge. 
And of course no website would be able to predict this, keeping it truly random for everyone. Which zone would be dependent on who starts the game, which it already is when it comes to character level…

I am primarily interested in there being;
- new items
- existing item improvements ( balancing with grief, etc )
- skill changes ( such as combining barbarian melee weapon masteries into one, and adding weapons block mastery for dual wield and two-hander users )
I do not have available slots for new characters ( that I would like to make), so a better leveling experience ( very much needed and welcomed ) isn’t very exciting to me.

Well it’s understandable
There is nothing to test
No QoL
No Unique rework
No skill balance
And the content in it is half baked
Terror zone doesn’t even need to be tested to know it’s missing plenty of features
Just because it’s missing the plethora of ideas that you have doesn’t mean it’s missing features. It’s a feature in itself.
People have no interest because prepared characters werent great and also there is nothing for playing on PTR.

Imagine if only there was terror zone player agency like this
Even with boring build selection people would still try to push the mechanic
I hate to say this, but I tend to agree that Terror Zones are very underwhelming, and feel after a few hours of testing, I’ve seen it all. If this is the extent of the changes for 2.5, it will be very disappointing.

I mean there is nothing for a player. You wont get anything from ptr.
Prepared characters are not good. They all have same names so its hell to group up and comunicate…
I am really losing hope that blizz can do something good with this game.
Just the fact that we have still only 20 char slots is laughable. We dont need terror zones. This game has issues which should be focused instead.

Would be a blast if they would add more character slots. 20 char slots is not enough for ladder, non ladder, hardcore and mule chars.

A lot of us aren’t bothering to extensively test something so minimal. Bring on season 2.
I tested it. Seems to work.
Now drop it on Non-Ladder so I can farm it for real!
I’ll sit in a PTR game or two with ya and go AFK.
Might organize a group later to run a few P8 on PTR, but thats so I can test other things. You’ll be able to have full control of whatever zone is active tho.
So… is it simply unknown at the start of the hour? Everyone needs to play a faster-cast-rate sorceress to zip through and find “this hour’s” zone?
That seems… even worse than I first imagined.
Shouldn’t be too big of an issue if the inflated monster levels are based off of a lower level character needing the rush…
More importantly: it can be turned off upon game creation. But this is the responsibility of the rushed person…
