Rare Legendaries Ratios
Nevalistis explained today the upcoming change to some Legendaries' rarity. These items are getting a buff to their drop ratios (in comparison to other Legendaries) in Patch 2.1.2 for a couple reasons, explained in the post below.

In patch 2.1.2, the most rare items will be less rare than they are currently. Overall, such items will be easier to acquire than they were previously, though there will still be some Legendaries that remain more common.
There’s a few reasons for this change. First, as we continue to add more Legendaries to the loot pool, it makes all other items slightly more rare. Decreasing the rarity of the super-rare items helps combat this. Second, we also want you to be able to have that item you're chasing, especially if they're build defining. Finally, the addition of Ancient items adds another layer of rarity for items that are considered best in slot. While they should still take substantial effort to obtain, it’s a bit less daunting with this change.

Play Your Way's Future
Some players seem to think the Play Your Way blog posts are over, and will not be coming back for 2015. That is not the case, and as long as the cool builds keep being submitted we should still see PYW posts. They should resume next week, after Patch 2.1.2 is released. See below.

As a reminder, the Play Your Way program will be taking a break over the holidays, resuming after the launch of patch 2.1.2 in 2015. Until then, we hope you have a wonderful holiday season, and we’ll see you next year!We're hoping to start up the series again next week. If you'd like to submit a build for consideration, please feel free to use this link: http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/community/contests/d3-play-your-way/rules.html
Seasonal Items on UEE?
Console players don't get to experience Seasons just yet, but they are left wondering if the exclusive Seasonal items will at least become part of the loot table when a new patch allows those seasonal items to drop for regular characters. The developers are aware of this request and are looking into it, but do not have any info to share yet. Fingers crossed for that Aether Walker to make its way into consoles soon?

We're currently planning on patching Ultimate Evil Edition on Xbox One and PlayStaytion 4 at the same time that PC receives patch 2.1.2, and we're aiming to post the patch notes in the Console forums when that happens, too.
