Are we planning to have the Darkening of Tristram anniversary event again this January? I don’t see it mentioned anywhere and I want to get the Butcher pet and transmogs.
It became a yearly event. So, yes. It will be back next year again. Same to Immortal king event on march…
Hey Dogzilla!
We will be bringing back the Darkening of Tristram event! You should see a blog about it soon for the holidays.

Any word on a D2 20 year event next year?

It usually starts the first week of January (the cultist pages drop from the 1st and I think the portal opens the 3rd or 4th).
While it’s not outside the realm of possibility, I honestly wouldn’t expect a new yearly event.
The Red Soul Shard Gem drop from there needs a revamp. Hey blizzard let’s improve this outdated gem. You buff all your underdog sets builds. How about to improve this gem ? His power should be based on str/int/dex amount. So according player get stronger the gem also. Thanks.

Just to let you know (assuming you don’t know already) is that there was some bugs last year with the event. I have a vague recollection that the 2018 bugs that were fixed then were the same bugs that resurfaced in the 2019 event.

Hey MicroRNA,
We remembered that from last year, and actually pulled the old ticket to make sure we covered everything this year.
I’m going to have to check on this but the Wirt’s Leg Pattern might still show up as a Magic but the item will be Legendary and will still drop “Map of the Stars”.
Either way, we’ll run it tomorrow internally and make sure everything is good to go.
Thanks for reaching out and the preemptive heads up

Crikey, you’re pro-actively testing things before they go live!
Keep this stuff up, I like it.

Surely the event is already in the game data and the date triggers the event?
Surely it doesn’t need patched in every year?
Considering the Wirt’s Leg has glitched past two events and both times needed a hotfix, I wouldn’t be surprised if it glitched again needing yet another hotfix.
Excellent.

Mostly players already runned this event. So to promote this event in one overall scale. The last boss on T16 difficult from this event could to drop one guaranteed primal from one item which the player has equipped. Reward could be done just once per year.
So evreybody already runned this event. Could to run again.
Pros:
This way a lot of more people will run this event.
It won’t be a dead content according game get older.
Everybody will get happy to have a chance to drop a primal weapon they use.
Cons:
A lot of players will whine they primal came with bad affixes (but it’s still a good thing next year they can to try again 
)
It would be nice to have something like the Darkening of Tristram for D2. Maybe one act per year or something like that.
It would be nice if we can get something like guarantee primal when we cleared it for the first time?
Also, can you make the Anniversary Tristam harder than GR100+ to replicate the feeling of the helpless like Diablo 1 for the players to clear it?
