any body wanna guess when?

Don’t care to.

Get a handle on your desire.

It will go live when it goes live.

What are you going to do if Nev makes a post this week that S17 is being extended another 2 months to deal with patch issues?

Nevalistis teased the PTR over two weeks ago, it has to be coming very soon.

It would be cool just to get the communication. Season started May 17th. They are supposed to last around 3 months. That would be around 3 weeks from now, and still no word if there will be a PTR, be a new QOL/balance patch, be a new seasonal theme, or if they will just go green and recycle. If the season needs to be extended because they are working on something, then GREAT!, but a little communication would go a long ways.

Well if “soon” is anywhere from 6 months to 8 years for Blizzard, then “very soon” is what, 3 weeks to 6 months?

I admit, even I am getting a bit restless. Wouldn’t it be better for them to have an extended PTR this time around anyway? (last time was only 1 week, hardly enough time to balance all those barb proposals)

I will wait till next Tuesday, but if there is no communication after that, I will put my angry monkey hat on. :imp:

Actually, the last PTR, last season started out to be only 1 week then became over 3 weeks long.

So nothing is written in stone with D3 and anything can happen at any time.

If they need extra time to work on some of the Barb suggestions from Free,Rage, & Prokahn; I’m good with that.

Is this your first time dealing with the Diablo devs?

Ya, after years of “We are working to improve our communication”, you would think I would have learned by now, guess I am just too much of an optimist.

She also teased new Diablo content back in August 2018 with her pre-Blizzcon “Forges burning hot” video. Still waiting…

I don’t remember her mentioning new content for current projects, just a tease for “new projects”.

15

Do you really hope they prepare a big content worthy of PTR next patch?

16

No, I think everyone here expects small balance changes and such, like previous patch did.

This is very true. The whole point of a PTR is testing and if they find things that need more time, it is logical to extend it! I am good with that.

This is reasonable. I don’t expect anything earth shattering, but do expect some balance and item changes like normal. Some may impact builds which is always interesting to those who theorycraft.

As for a timeline. Logically we should get it within the next week-ish if we go by past release timelines. If we are lucky maybe we can get something to play with before the weekend. Not holding my breath of course!

Why can’t you read the patch notes?

About 5 minutes after I posted I was able to get in. Not sure why but the link seemed inactive when clicking on it.

Thanks for following up to see what the potential issue was :slight_smile:
