But when will ladders be released and in what capacity? I think ladders will be released with RoS. Now it's just what type of goodies and features will come out of ladders? I never was crazy about ladders in the first place, but any new additional content I will gladly welcome. Here is to hoping they have some form of ranks and possibly even feel progression through the ladder system. To all those who say Blizz redefines the wheel, let's see exactly how cool they will make the ladder system. Time will only tell
The teasing is starting to annoy me, if ladders are released I wanna know asap because I feel like im wasting my time leveling my paragon atm...
This is exactly why I've been having less fun growing up playing video games. Playing a video game shouldn't feel like some job or task or efficiency. It's about having fun.
Of course I say this, when I dedicated a lot of years into trying to become a professional counter strike 1.6 players YEARS ago. So happy I got my head out of my butt. Just play video games to have fun now. No more stressing over pixels
Based on the teasing, I expect them to be releasing ladders on the actual launch as otherwise I just don't think they would be teasing them right now. That being said, "ladder" could mean many things and if one were to remove all the possibilities that would likely go through beta testing such as races, resets, week long rifts etc. then one can assume that all we're really going to get is an XP ladder which Diabloprogress already does so ultimately this is just an in game version of something that we can already do.
That being said, the forums have been exploding for months with people asking for any form of competitive ladder even if it is just an XP one so I guess you got what you asked for all be it I don't understand why you wanted it.
I cant see how a ladder system would be very fun in D3. I'd love to restart a class I have leveled to 60. But I can do that now and I have no desire to. even when in direct competition with many others. whichever class I started on this ladder, from level 1-60 I already know exactly how it will feel. no new and interesting mathematical power will be discovered along the way. no new combination of skills, no new play style. because ive already hit 60 and I can sit in town and reconfigure any and all of the skills to anything I want in 2 seconds. and have done so all very quickly on that first character of each of the classes. Personally when I think about that I just cant help but feel that all of that exploration of potential character developement was just used up in one giant dose......:( its almost troubling how fun the fighting can be in this game by contrast of how "sort circuited" the character developement seems to be when veiwed certain ways.......
people bash Jay wilson and the lush graphics. but the way the monk moves around the game world and how fluid and intuitive and engaging the fighitng can be at times....thats a black art if I ever saw one.......
Yeah I agree, to me the Diablo 2 ladder reset systems main purpose was an economy reset the whole I mean the majority of people weren't involved in the race to 99 but it was nice having items be worth something again because within about 6 months - 1 year on Diablo 2 every item in the game became common and worthless. While Diablo 3 doesn't have this issue because there is no economy therefore nothing to reset, I doubt they'll do anything like this though atm as I said before it'll just be a pointless XP ladder that everyone is asking for but nobody actually wants as it is with many things people ask for.
That being said, I think there's a lot of ladder-related stuff they could do which would be similar to PoE such as the 1 week races, the leagues with unique world effects and I believe I read a while ago them going over the idea of doing something like opening a rift for a set amount of time and people competing on who could get the deepest all of which would have me far more interested than a simple XP race.
In one of the streams on twitch that one of the devs were on. the dev said there will be no ladder when RoS is released. but that don't mean shit i guess, as blizz devs far surpass any troll I have ever seen. THEY ARE MASTER TROLLS!!!

All I know is that Wyatt prefers seasons (so it may be less competition based) and also that he likes season specific items. :/
I will find the stream but busy atm.

Much to my chagrin, they will be adding season specific items as part of the ladder system. To this...I am disappoint.
