Ruins of Sescheron: Ancient Goatmen
It’s not quite the return of a long lost NPC, but another cool set piece in the new Ruins of Sescheron area is a Goatman-themed version of the classic Diablo 2 battle against the Ancients.

Is Arcane Enchanted Bugged?
Is Arcane Enchanted bugged? Or broken? Or in need of change? How does the damage from the rotating Arcane Sentries work? How should it work? My experience is that the damage is the same no matter which part of the rotating needle is touching your character. Of course the tip is moving much faster than the center, relatively speaking, so the exposure tends to be quicker if you’re further out. That’s kind of the whole point of the Elite ability, after all. To add some variety and denial of area and force players to reposition, etc.
