Not even gonna try and bash the D4 team now, but PTR is not looking good for what’s to be expected in S5… #OddNumberConspiracy
What’s everyone though on maybe scracthing season 5, extending PTR with some hotfixes in the middle, and gain 2 months of development time on what’s in PTR + Expansion and drop the mic on expansion release? Maybe even have another PTR before expansion release…
Personally I think it would be the way to go by the look and feel of the PTR, and thinking into consideration S5 will only be 2 months, but what’s your thoughts?

It doesn’t matter what forum users think about this. It won’t happen.

Yeah, this isn’t going to happen. They don’t want to lose that battlepass money. Instead they will bandaid as much as they can. Most of their efforts will probably go into making that new endgame content better and nerfing the helmet interaction. A lot of class builds will probably still feel bad. They will throw some more bandaids on that in the mid season patch. Same builds will likely still feel bad. Expansion will launch and the new class will be super op so that a lot of people play it. The next season that will end up nerfed to the ground too.

Band aids aren’t going to help this mess, this PTR is the worst I’ve seen from this dev team and that’s saying something because it been mostly bad

I know they won’t. I’m pissed off that is what they do. They nerf class stuff based on interaction with gear stuff. Bandaid. They buff with stupid 2% buffs that don’t do anything and call it a day. Bandaid.

It also doesn’t help that the forum users always blame the devs, completely ignorant to how this happens.
As a dev (not a game one, thankfully), I’d rather they just push it out so I can read crying after; revenge suffering!
Who else is to blame, can you enlighten us on who is writing this horrible mess of code where nothing works right?

Does it really matter if it’s PTR or Live? Either way, we’ll have to wait on the D4 teams very slow turn around for patches.
We can’t even test the ptr because nothing works as intended lol, we are literally testing bugs

You have nearly 4k posts.
Put your free time to some use and Google (ChatGPT would work too tbh.)
Hint: how does the chain of command in businesses generally work? If you’ve gone up to director or higher level, you’ll have an idea.
Also, to any of you messing with PTR…you are literally doing someone’s job for free. I find this amusing af. Game companies are known for abusing developers, but no one mentions the customers that get roped in lmao

Chain of command has nothing to do with the code in the game, since you like Google maybe Google what a CEO of blizzard does. And just to add typing is easy for most of us I’m sorry you find it hard to string a few words together, and yes I’m doing a job for free Neva I wanted to game to be good I’m sorry
I have a WPM of 130 on average.
I’m only on here to laugh and poke fun of ignorance. Also I remember you with nearly 4k posts. How’s the…what was it? 3 houses? 3 cars? A few kids? lmao

Memory is failing also never said I owned 3 houses, I own 1 and I do have a family… So what’s your point? Again typing is easy, maybe take a class
I think the concept of infernal hordes is cool but the powers you get vastly underwhelming from what I saw starting out.
That is the 2nd PTR for D4 ever and ppl call it worst D4 PTR ever as there were already 200 ptrs.
Btw a PTR is to test things. Even the greatest %&€ show is possible on a PTR. That is the reason a PTR exists.
If nothing is better before the PTR ends, you can moarn.
And if nothing is fixed before S5 comes, you can cry.
And you would have every right to shout and cry.
But after 3 days PTR do you really think, Rogue kills lvl 200 trash mobs ormages with crown and pants toast the pit boss for 9999999999999999999999dmg?
That will be changed.
The only sure thing is, that barbs will dominate forever and do barbillion of dmg.
(I hate playing barb so don’t blame me)
It’s been a year and the same problems still exist, what are you talking about?
This might be the first PTR for the D4 team, but not for Blizzard.
Correct, a PTR is to test things, not grind for the chance to test things. There are so many issues with the Uniques atm, and not even all of them are available. Though we’d have to grind to find one to test them if they were. During a one week testing period.
There is no fixes planned for S5’s PTR, and there were none for S4’s PTR.

S5 is designed to be so bad that the expac will be marketed as the 2.0 version…

well the main problem i see now is the expansion!
if season 5 is this bad! i wonder what season 6 is and the expansion state is!
they will have to release the beta/PTR for the expansion 3 weeks into season 5 and this big of a update i think they will need more then 1 week of testing!!
because as we see it now! it is clear the devs do NOT TEST the game out~!
and when i say Devs i do not mean the top dogs! i mean anyone that is in character development should be putting a ample amount of time testing builds!

I’m not going to wait for Blizzard to do something. I’m pulling the cord myself and skipping season 5. I encourage you all to do the same if you don’t like what you see on the PTR.
