Rift Issues on 2.1.2 PTR

Tsarnis created a while ago a thread explaining what information is useful when posting issues with Rifts on the 2.1.2 PTR. He recently uploaded it with all the known issues as well, so if you're helping test the PTR make sure to check those out in order to not waste precious play time reporting problems that are already under the radar.

Hi Everyone,

We all hope you are enjoying the 2.1.2 PTR and are having a good time digging into the game changes present. One of the larger changes we made for this round of PTR involves Nephalem and Greater Rift levels and how they are arranged. As a result, there are very likely some bugs present, such as missing scenes/tiles, dead ends (where there shouldn't be dead ends) and possibly even population issues.

If you have experienced any issues with Greater or Nephalem rifts similar to what I just described, please add a reply to this thread with the specifics. In general, this is the kind of info we need:

  • Detailed description of the problem
  • Description of the tileset that the rift used (in most cases, the story mode area it resembles is best)
  • Screenshots! These are probably the most helpful, hands down
To help minimize duplication of efforts, here are our current known issues involving Nephalem/Greater Rifts:

Nephalem Rifts/Greater Rifts
  • Rift levels using the Core of Arreat tileset can roll with gaps in the game world, preventing player progress through the rift
  • Rift levels using the Realm of the Banished tileset is currently rolling with no monsters
  • Monsters can spawn very close to the entrance of rift levels using the Caverns of Aranae tileset
  • Cancelling a Greater Rift that is initiated by another player within a multiplayer game will prevent further rifts from being opened within that game session
  • Higher level Greater Rifts (26+) and Greater Rift Trials are awarding too much Experience and Gold
We really appreciate your help testing Patch 2.1.2 on the PTR! Thank you!

Diablo on Goat Simulator

Have you ever heard of the game Goat Simulator? Where you roam around being a goat and wrecking stuff for no good reason? Well, turns out the game received an expansion recently that turned it into a MMO. And it even got a Diablo homage as well, with a curious version of "Twistram", complete with familiar music and enemies - found and uploaded by I3ardoc.


Maximizing Weapon Damage

Jaetch (by now you probably know who he is) has put together a very clean and useful video guide explaining how weapon damage and enchanting interact, and giving some useful tips on how to maximize the weapon damage. See it below!


Ancient Items Thread

The-MathMog started a great thread where people who are participating in the PTR can share the ancient items they've found so far. Great place to share your finds and discuss whether some Legendaries (that usually are not top tier) can compete with more sought after ones with the Ancient stats. Feel free to share your finds there!

Currently playing the PTR and I am interested in seeing the Ancient Legendaries that you find!! :D

Ive currently found one, so let's see yours!
