Patch Notes Are Being Compiled
It seems that the PTR and possibly the developer blog are indeed very close. The buzzword is now "quite soon".

Vaneras is my favorite CM and cheers to her for interaction and always a civil and breezy tone!
I hate to burst your bubble here, but I am actually a him ;-)

You just annihilated his fantasy :D
I'm just another dude on the internet so I am not able to live up to anyone's fantasies LOL.

he sentence he used "The PTR patch notes are still being compiled"
=> Meaning that it is not finished yet as the process is still on-going
Yup. The notes are not quite finished yet but they are being finalised now, which is why I am going to go all out crazy now and use the words "quite soon" :-O

by the sounds of it .... today
Not sure it will be today, I just can't promise that. I really would give you guys an exact time and date if I could, but that is not possible to do as there may be some last minute changes... this is why I feel so compelled to make variants of the word "soon" :-)




Time Investment in Games
Grimiku gives a statement regarding the popular opinion: "If you sank that much time into a game than it was worth the money".

I would like to chime in, and both agree and disagree at the same time. Playing a game for a certain number of hours might make it worth the money spent on it, but spending a lot of time in a game shows a deeper investment. When a design decision that you don’t agree with is made, it would be easier to dismiss it if the game only had its monetary value for you. However, if you disagree with a change and it’s a game that you’ve sunk a lot of hours into then it can feel like worlds colliding.

Either way a complaint is feedback and it all counts. As long as people are addressing the issue and not the individuals surrounding it (i.e. players or developers) then we are happy to read it and pass it along.




What's Your Favorite Realm of Pure Evil Encounter?
In this week's question to the fans Blizzard asks the player base which of the Infernal Machine encounters is their favorite.

  • King Leoric and Maghda guard the Royal Crypts in the Realm of Discord
  • Ghom and Rakanoth defend the Larder in the Realm of Chaos
  • And Siege Breaker and Zoltun Kulle protect the Edge of the Abyss in the Realm of Turmoil
For those of you who've already been transported to one of the randomly-selected Realms of Pure Evil, we'd like to know which encounter is your favourite one and why?
