Ahhm ok, i guess i need to explain the delay. As mentioned above my cat not just has fleas but the flu. Shortly after i got sick and spent most of my time on the toilet so there was no time for development left.
The little time inbetween i worked on rebalancing all class-sets. I was almost done, and it was a pretty huge excel-sheet with all the details.
But all of a sudden my personal computer started making strange sounds and shortly after my hard drive was dead.
I tried several recovery progamms but none of them worked, so the file is gone and ther is no way to recover it i think.
I know GoD is strong atm and many classes wish to receive some buffs for their sets. With the lost sheet and the little time left i think i have found some approach.
The Ashara-Set will receive a huge buff:
The followers are now up for almost 80 % of the time and received buffs. The Templar follower now has a mixed Skillset between Barbarian and Crusader.
The Scroundrel now can also shoot Primary Abilities (Whatever your char used last) for 20.000 % weapondmg while he is strafing around.
The sorc now casts hydras which deal 15.000 % weapondmg and have piercing - attacks and black holes.
The followers will also be active in Multiplayergames and all 3 of them can be active at once.
Each follower can now be Equipped with 13 Items like your Mainchar and all Legendary Affixes are working on your follower.
As your 3 Followers should be able to outdps your class by far, any classes should feel similar now. Balance fixed.
I hope you like the aproach. PTR will be up in 3 weeks
Did I miss something? Was there an official response stating that S21 was being extended? Feel like it should be about time that we see S22 patch notes and a S21 end date announcement.
I did see that a CM mentioned that a D4 update was coming first then the next is the S22 patch notes. When is this D4 Qtrly update coming out? I know there’s players still enjoying S21 but I’ve been playing since Day 1 of Season start and its getting a bit boring. I want something “new”.
I don’t think we’ll see the Diablo 4 quarterly update till around the 30th of this month. However, if we do get it earlier than that, then I’ll be more than happy about it.
On top of this, we would like to note that we plan on extending PTR testing timelines prior to each new season going forward. This will result in a slightly extended season, and will allow for 2 weeks of PTR testing for the community along with an additional week for the team to implement and work feedback/changes in before the season begins. The intention here is to make sure we can apply as much feedback as possible from the community during these PTR timelines while also giving us a good amount of time to test these changes before they go live.
However it was only fairly recently stated that the next D4 quarterly update will come before the next patch notes.
Wow that’s a very small announcement hidden in a Double Bounties post. And that paragraph seems a little confusing. Past 2 - 3 seasons we’ve been having 2 week PTR with 12 days downtime between season end to season start. Now it’s 2 week PTR and 7 days downtime between seasons? Isint that less time? It says “going forward” so like are seasons not 3 months legnth anymore? Whats the new legnth? 4 months? 5 months? 6 months? Really wish they were more specific.
Yeah, it’s not exactly clear on some things. However what I understood is that in addition to the 2 week public PTR there will now also be at least 1 week internal testing after PTR closes before the patch gets finalized.
Since the patch notes are not yet out and PTR not announced, S21 will be at least 4 months.
I’m just glad that the seasonal theme isn’t another stack accumulator, or just a random legendary power (pretty dull imo). This one might be pretty good; a bit early to say of course.
