If you could highlight some of the big changes the team has made to the gameplay balance from the start of PTR to now before you head off for the weekend it would be appreciated. Nothing exact or written in stone, just the gist of it. Thank you.
One thing to consider, most meta have a zbarb that bring everything together, that most likely have area damage, to do something like, greater rift 150. SO I would probably not have a clone that spawns that shoots fist of heavens in a pack of 80 mobs. Spend your research elsewhere, like you seem to be fond of doing.
I’d love to at least hear that something is being done to keep a few Wizard builds viable, even if details are to follow.
Could you clarify whether reasonable itemization/balance changes have been made in the background we aren’t aware of? I think it would be a collective sigh of relief.

Why you cannot deliver anything on this PTR.
Week 1 testing should have been followed up by Week 2 nerfing sader/buffing weaker sets.
Now you achieved nothing, nothing other than it was a, promised, 2 week PTR.
We are going LIVE in a week with this. Sader & Sader meta for non season.
The good news is we should be getting a PTR update today (Monday).
Nope. Not even close.
There’s usually at least a couple of weeks from PTR ending and the patch tested thereon being pushed to live. Blizzard have also previously stated that going forward they want longer between the end of a PTR and going live. I wouldn’t expect 2.6.10 to hit live before Tuesday, November 10th.

What’s the time in their office?
PTR 2.6.10 is up and tentatively scheduled to be down by 10/20. Once it goes down we’ll share updates on our blog (title), general discussion and close down the PTR section.

PTR is still broken for a lot of users. Also why not test any changes? Seem kind of pointless.

My guess is that there won’t be any major changes done (besides probably some number adjustments here and there).
first i cant login duo to code395002 and now its gonna be shut down. lol
so I guess if it is due to come down tomorrow then if you are still having 395002 errors then you are done with ptr…have to wait until it goes live
What about all the users locked out due to 395002 errors when retrieving heroes?

This makes me panic a little. Blizzard, traditionally, is TERRIBLE on hitting the mark and which fixes are made. Eeeeeep.

If that is the case then why am I and others getting 395002 error when loading the character list.
I have reinstalled, restated, reset my network and still the PTR is unplayable at present.

Can you clarify on whether the PTR is concluding on 10/20 or just going down for further updates? It seems like having players test any balance updates before they go live would be a good idea.

I can. He describes it as permanent: The PTR will be taken offline and the forums closed down.
