Blizzcon 2014 Schedule

The Blizzcon Schedule has been revealed. While there is not a lot of Diablo planned for it, we should keep in mind that quantity is not quality - so maybe we can expect some big reveals on the two panels that are bound to happen. And maybe even a bigger announcement before that?!

On Friday there will be a panel about Reaper of Souls - What's Next. In this panel, developers will discuss new features and concepts that will be coming soon to the world of Sanctuary. On Saturday the panel is on Evolving Reaper of Souls, where the developers will be discussing how the game's design philosophies change, and (!) join the community to create an actual Legendary item to be implemented in a future patch!

Patch 2.1 (UEE) Clarifications

A blue post came up with some additional clarifications on Patch 2.1 for consoles. Things like whether Kadala had a blood shard price overhaul as well, whether seasonal items will ever make it for consoles, amongst others. Read below!

What about Kadala? I thought she would be overhauled?

No changes were made to the prices or drop rates of items. She did receive a shorter purchase timer cooldown though.

I know we don't get seasons, which is fine, but what about the Seasonal weapons, will we ever be able to get those??

So far, the only information we’ve offered is that the Seasonal Legendaries were not included with the 2.1.0 patch for Ultimate Evil Edition. You can be sure that as information about subsequent patches becomes available we’ll do our best to share that with you as soon as we are able.

Is there any reason why we did not get all the further updates that the PC got after 2.1? Are these minor hotfixes coming?

It’s our intention to continue to iterate on the console version as updates become available in the PC version. With that said, not all changes may make that transition, as was the case with Seasons or the Leaderboards. Although it’s our intention to bring appropriate updates over, there may be some delay between when updates are delivered for PC and when they are offered to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

So didnt 2.1 include the ability to compare socketed gemmed items with none sucketed gemmed items? How is this done on the consoles?

The “Compare without sockets” feature did not make it into 2.1 for Console.
