GR Keystone Leveling

Blizzard is still looking at the best way to tweak how players skip into higher levels of Greater Rifts, which is done through a Trial Rift. They want players to get to higher levels than what's currently live on the PTR, but not let them go past what their gear allows them to fight.

Thanks for the great discussion here, folks.

What doesn't make sense to me, is why don't the greater rift trials follow the same level gain philosophy as greater rifts themselves: the faster you clear a wave, the more difficult the next wave. Instead of tracking progress as # of waves completed, its wave difficulty completed.

We’re looking at allowing you to advance through the Trials more quickly. We're also keeping an eye on Greater Rift Keystone advancement, and will make adjustments as needed. Our goal is for players to be able to skip forward aggressively, but not so fast that you worry about “overshooting” and ending up in a rift that's too high for you.

Greetings Adventurers,

Since the release of the Ultimate Evil Edition, we've seen some recurring questions pop up across the forums. We encourage you to read through the following in case these apply to you:

Why can't I connect to the Diablo III server on Xbox Live?

We are currently aware of an issue that is causing players to receive the following message when attempting to play Ultimate Evil Edition on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One:

"The Diablo III server is not available at this time. Please try again later."

To be clear, many Xbox players are able to connect online to Ultimate Evil Edition at this time. A common factor linking affected players is having two Xbox One system connecting through the same router. This scenario doesn't comprise all the reports we've received, however, only the majority of them.Although we do not have a resolution to offer at this time, we are continuing to investigate and will be sure to update this thread as soon as more information becomes available. Thanks to everyone who is affected for your continued patience!

What happened to my Infernal Pauldrons?

We've received a few reports from PS4 players noting that they have been unable to claim their Infernal Pauldrons. 
This issue appears to be related to a license not properly being applied to some players' SEN accounts after entering the item code. Luckily, we have identified a workaround that should help most of you get past this issue:
1. Navigate to the Settings option on the PS4 Dynamic Menu
2. Select "PSN"
3. Select "Restore Licenses"
4. Re-launch Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition and you should find your preorder item in your inventory
Additionally, please ensure that your console is connected to the internet, as downloading the available patch over PSN is required to collect the item.

I linked my XBL and SEN accounts, so where is my Signet Ring of the Blizzard?

After you've successfully linked your Sony Entertainment Network and Xbox Live accounts via Battle.net, launch Ultimate Evil Edition and create a new game. Once you're in game, visit your newest town hub and open your Shared Stash. Under the "Ring" category, you should see your Signet Ring of the Blizzard. If you do not see the ring, try relogging into the game after waiting a few minutes.

Greater Rift Testing

With Patch 2.1 getting closer and closer, and many class changes coming, some players will be wondering what are the more viable builds for their classes to tackle the new Greater Rifts, specially those who haven't actively been playing on the PTR.

With that in mind, players like Deadsetgaming and Natalya85 have been uploading some high-difficulty GR footage in which they not only show their builds in action, but also their thoughts on some end-game items and skills, how some recent changes affect their classes and how to get to those higher GR levels  - which will allow you to more easily upgrade your Legendary Gems. Check them out below!
