Diablo 3 Patch 2.1 Hotfixes and Bugs
Blizzard has confirmed some issues with Diablo 3 patch 2.1 Hotfixes and Bugs. First up is an issue that cropped up time and again during the PTR… not enough dudes in a Nephalem Rift.
Diablo 3 Achievements Display Bug
Some players are reporting a Diablo 3 Achievements Display Bug when trying to view Achievements (theirs and others). Blizzard have advised logging in and out again which is working for some people. Others it doesn’t and still their Achievements will not display. Blizzard have assured everyone that it is a display problem and that achievements are being tracked and logged and they are looking into fixing the problem.

Diablo 3 Patch 2.1 PTR Test Report
I hopped on the PTR last night and tested out a lot of new stuff. This isn’t one of my mega-reports since I only had a couple of hours to play, but I was able to try out new things with Nephalem Rifts, Demon Hunter skills, the gold interface, Cesspools, and more. So here’s my first, quick, Diablo 3 Patch 2.1 PTR Test Report.

The big patch is a go, and you can download the PTR client now and try out most of the new stuff. You need to download the entire client, almost like installing a second version of Diablo 3, and once you’re on the PTR you can copy your characters over from any live realm. Here’s Blizzard’s tutorial:

Cesspools Only Appearing in Rifts
Patch 2.1 will introduce a new area, as announced in last week’s blog update from Blizzard but it’s not a fully fledged area with distinct monsters and bosses and will only spawn during Nephalem and Greater Rifts. This was in the blog update but it’s easy to miss that sort of thing when you’re focussed on the thought of “oh great a new area”. Small print.
Clan Changes Not in Patch 2.1
With all the excitement of what is to come with the first content patch for Reaper of Souls it would be easy to overlook one of the less fleshed-out aspects to the game. Clan support finally made it in to a Diablo game but it has been a somewhat lacklustre attempt to satisfy the fans. Clan tags and chat are the two useful aspects but not much else. Enkeria asked if Clans would receive any attention in Patch 2.1. In a word “no” but Blizzard are, as always, open to suggestions as Nevalistis explained.
