It’s been a while but we’re back with a new podcast! In this episode, I am joined this time around by Chris Wilson, Lead Designer/Creator of Path of Exile. As Diablo is moving into maintenance mode and PoE is pushing out content left, right and centre, I thought it would be great to chat with Chris and contrast the two games. Take a listen and enjoy.
We already know that there’s not much for Diablo this year but there are a couple of things if you’re interested. It’s probably not worth the price of a Virtual ticket if Diablo is all you’re interested but there’s at least something including a “convention-exclusive Diablo III experience” if you’re attending.
Blizzard has now opened the BlizzCon 2017 Merchandise shop for anyone wanting to pick up some merch prior to the event.
Blizzard is almost set for 2.6.1 but have issued a notice regarding Diablo 3 Era Leaderboards and they will experiment with “technology” that will allow them to lock them while the patch is deployed. This will however impact all leaderboards.
PTR testing may not be complete but Blizzard is ready to reveal the start dates for Diablo 3 Season 12 and the end date of Season 11.
We thought Blizzard might be coming to the end of the Diablo PTR testing for the 2.6.1 update but apparently not. There’s an update next week.
Blizzard continues to enhance the Battle.Net experience with more new social features such as groups, profiles, and avatars.
Blizzard has revealed this year’s BlizzCon 2017 headline musical act is Muse which is probably one of the better acts to appear at BlizzCon over the years.
Blizzard was not kidding when they said they would have nothing for Diablo at this year’s BlizzCon. Both the Friday and Saturday schedules are out.
As Blizzard continues to lock down issues and changes on the Diablo 3 2.6.1 PTR, an updates batch of notes have been released. I think it’s safe to say they are almost done with testing.
