Displaying More Than Five Buffs, No Nerf to Sever, Blue Posts

Displaying More Than Five Buffs
Players have wished to see more than just five buffs at a time for some time now. Vaeflare hits the forums saying this is something they want to do, but in a way that works for Diablo

We agree that it would be great to be able to view more than five of your active buffs, and we’re currently looking into solutions that would ensure players are able to view buffs that are important to them, while also keeping UI clutter to a minimum. Ideally, we’d like to avoid situations where a portion of your screen is overwhelmed by buff icons (for example, just having your buffs stack across the bottom of your bar) and we’re experimenting with different ways to present that information in a format that works well for Diablo III.




No Nerf to Sever
Sever appeared on the "Known issues List" for Patch 1.0.5 which worried some players. However it seems it will not be changed.

I just wanted to jump in really quickly to clarify that we have no current plans to change how the Legendary sword Sever or the Rest in Pieces affix functions. I can assure you there is no nerf, and none were ever announced. We were briefly looking into Sever (which is why it appeared in the Known Issues List), but ultimately decided against making any changes.

Indeed... Had Imperius been imbued in a similar way with the essence of the entire Angiris Council, then things would have looked quite different I am sure :-) (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)

Feedback and Bug Reports
It's not unusual for multiple threads about a given topic to all be active at the same time. In those situations, we will often reply to one thread and track it, and sometimes we'll follow-up in other threads with a link to our response. If we don't happen to reply to your thread (and instead reply to another thread that's very similar to yours), don't swear it. It's not a slight or anything like that; it's just not feasible for us to respond to every single thread that exists about a specific topic, so we try to consolidate whenever we can.

Also, just as a sort of general FYI, any posts that we track will appear in the "Latest Blizzard Posts" section in the main forum menu. Normally, we only try to track posts that address game-related questions or concerns, or ones that provide important new information. So, if there's a specific topic you're interested in, definitely take a look at our BlizzTracker, as we may have already responded to that topic in another thread.

That said, as many players have pointed out, your posts about buff icons were in the Bug Report forum, which is monitored and moderated by our Quality Assurance department. While we've done it in the past, it's extremely rare for us community managers to respond to posts in that forum. Usually, we'll address feedback about the game in one of our discussion forums (like General), since those are the forums under our purview.

In general, if you have feedback about the way something in Diablo III is designed, drop it one of our discussion forums. This can include everything from talking about why you don't like a certain feature, to how you'd like to see a mechanic improved, to suggesting new things to add to the game.

On the flip side, if you believe that feature or mechanic isn't behaving correctly according to how it was designed, then definitely place that in our Bug Report forum. Our QA reps may not always respond to every post, but they do catalog your reports and pass them on to our development team. (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
