But S9 is coming this friday! the first 72Hours of play-time are ok and i kinda like it, even if its RIP after 72 hours for me, especially since I can't get more stash tabs anymore lol.
Some of the changed legendary items seem attractive; especially the paralysis ring. What do you think about that?
Hell yes. I am tired of the cookie cutter builds that I keep doing and am diving into S9 with a wizard build I have never done before with Manald Heal as the centerpiece.
as I already played through it on PTR I already knew what it looked like.
It was pretty cool seeing items like the godly plate of the whale and kings sword of haste back.
Overall tho, it was quite dissapointing as it was just D3 maps (and layouts) with a big decrease of gfx (which is fine by me)
additionally the new leg gem is just totally useless, even for a lvl1 seasonal it's useless as you are unable to level it anyway at that point.
I would've lloved if they gave it a little more attention and added some items that would actually be nostalgic and in some way useful
You don't seem to understand the point of the new gem. The new gen was design to power level yourself. It's very useful as you can level yourself in the same amount of time a power leveler would level you up. It's exactly like the gen of ease worthless at level1 but amazing at 25+. There are plenty of PTR videos.
I just slayed Diablo, the Dark Lord himself. The whole thing was pretty cool, although I was a little frustrated that there are so many levels in the Labyrinth. Got a couple of questions though: in the ruins of Old Tristram are the bodies of Griswold, Farnham, Pepin and Ogden. When I click on them, I get messages that say "I can't open this" and "this can't be opened yet". What do I need to do so I can open them? Also, where's Wirt's Leg? I'd be very grateful for any help you all can give me.

I get that people create lavish expectations, which is awesome.
But to hold someone accountable for your own expectations makes little sense to me.
If you just take a look at games in general during anniversary events, this event is tops bar none. Most games just give you a small in game boost for 10 days and some form of in game pet. Diablo gave us a rendering of Labyrinth inside of Diablo 3, with a lot of memorable loot, including fan designed loot, on top of that we get two pets, and a pretty sweet portrait. AND STILL this event is going to return each January, which is pretty sweet.
I think people are being over the top with their expectations and need to real it in one of these days to really appreciate what is happening.

Those bodies are part of getting Wirts leg.
On level 9 there is a black mushroom. You use that mushroom on the cauldron just outside of town in the event. The cauldron gives you an item that you use with one of the four bodies in town. Each body will drop an item that is used with a different body until you get Wirts Legs Plans. You create the item, get the transmog, then you salvage the item.
If you click in the cows in the order on the note (2,1,3) you will get a cow pet. The cows are located by the cauldron inside of the event.

Exactly,
Furthermore, when they talked about this during their blizzcon videos, they kept saying "first" legendary gem that goes into the helm socket. This leads me to think they are working on more unique gems for every slot instead of just jewelry. Would be nice to have upgrades over the +280 stat gems.
Thank you! I did click on the cows but since I apparently didn't click them in the right order, nothing happened except making them look ghostly. And I did collect the Rotten Mushrooms - I was going to ask what those are used for too, but I forgot. So thanks for bringing it up.
I don't play D3 very often so my skills and knowledge of the game are, let's just say, lacking.
***EDIT***
I did the Rotten Mushroom/click on the bodies/get the plan for Wirt's Leg/craft Wirt's Leg thing. I also went back and clicked on the cows in the 2-1-3 order, but nothing happened. Isn't there supposed to be an Abandoned Farmstead entrance that triggers when the cows are clicked? I definitely didn't see anything like that.

Did you salvage wirts leg?
I believe that is required in order for the farmstead entrance to spawn.
Ok, I didn't salvage the leg before, so now I did. And it did open the Abandoned Farmstead, where I was able to open Wirt's Chest and take out the thing for the Cow Pet. But then when I clicked on it, all it did was disappear. It didn't actually give me the pet. What did I do wrong?
Also, on my Achievements board it says I've earned the Butcher pet, but I have no idea where to get that. Help?
***EDIT***
Never mind, I found where my Pets are stashed - I have both the Butcher and the Cow.
I just downloaded the patch and did a speedthrough the old Labyrinth! Killed Diablo! Made a video linked below, let me know your thoughts

Yes, I also finished all the achievements for the portraits, pets, and transmogs etc. I guess that's that for this event

Ye the new gem effect seems to be quite a burden... No Pun intended.
