Thanks for the check-ins so far! We appreciate any time spent on this.

Please stop spreading lies. I personally like Flame Blades variant of Firebird gazillion times more than the idiotic Mirror Images. And I’m not the only one.
The Mirror Image skill was never intended to be an offensive skill but rather a defensive one.
Mind you, I would’ve preferred that MI variant stayed a viable option. However it needed a heavy nerf regardless.

Checked Stash (even though this wasn’t necessary), in-game Mail, Inventory and equipped items. No Soul Shards or Embers transferred to PTR non-Season.

No, nothing needs a heavy nerf. Things might require tweaking. Not axing it.
If it’s really problematic it shouldn’t have been released to public in the first place.
Blizz alienates its customers by giving them nice toys, and then taking them back.
Bad customer relationship management.

Heavy nerf in this case means bringing it down to the same level with other builds. Heavy nerf does not mean axing it.
The Firebird MI needed a heavy nerf. That’s a fact. Cutting its power down to one quarter would’ve achieved that. The original nerf cut all FB variants to one quarter, that was idiotic and thus was reverted. I also think cutting pets from proccing the FB damage is also unwise, just adjusting it to 25% of total FB damage would’ve been better. That would’ve left other FB variants untouched and MI variant viable. That’s a heavy nerf without axing anything.
Also a reminder: nerfs are a very necessary part of balancing. If you keep just buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing and buffing … you’ll end up where D3 is now, in a hideous state.

Soul shards in hero’s weapon and helm - didn’t transfer
Soul shards in follower’s weapon and helm - didn’t transfer
Soul shards in Stash - didn’t transfer
Embers in Stash - didn’t transfer
Seems to have worked just fine.

All clear.
As for suggestions on how to transition the shards: follower-only-socketable. Not necessarily with their PTR stats, but it’d be nice to have something strong for the followers. I’m a party player, but I understand how frustrated people who prefer single player mode can get.
Don’t drop this on us without an explanation
Season 24 hasn’t stopped today as described.
Please clarify?
It’s the season ON PTR

Yes, please remove this. Knock down our damage but do not completely destroy the build and all of our hard earned items. Some of us like actually being wizards and not tanks!
All Soul Shards disappeared.
Particularly the great level 3 in my DH Shadow helmet!! :^(
Entire stash disappeared and is empty. All items acquired are gone except those equipped.
Augments do not apply. After PTR end, had gems and Legendary Gems but augment did not work on first attempt. It took the gems, left the legendary gem and did not apply. was a 110 Legendary, 3 green and did not work several times on different equipment.
No can do…busyyyyy…
That explains why I don’t see soul shards any more.
DOH!
As with the others, no residual shards in stash, inventory, or items.
Would it be possible to start wiping the PTR server when the PTR ends?
- I believe most players do a PTR Copy anyway.
- Some players, like me, prefer to create a new Seasonal PTR Character to test the new Season.
For players who wish to only test the new Season, especially with multiple Class builds, they’ll need available Character Slots. Don’t make us have to spend time deleting Characters to make room.
Thank you!
