Blizzcon News Tease
Nevalistis replied to a post about the Invoker Set, clarifying that currently drops only for the Crusader and that in the next patch it will get adjustments. The interesting part is the tease at the end on how this would be "a good week for news". Maybe Blizzcon has more in store that we're expecting?

And this is correct. The Invoker set is slated for adjustments in our next patch. And somehow... I think this'll be a good week for news.Aren't they going to give it some buffs in an upcoming patch/season?
Murkgoblin Bug
There seems to be a bug with the current iteration of the Murkgoblin, the Blizzcon 2015 reward for Diablo 3 - the devs are already aware of the situation and probably working on a solution.

Regarding Nev's post: I called it on Twitter 2 weeks ago. Stay tuned, it's coming. Don't know what it is, but the Fireside Chats off the main panel will be, ahem, illuminating... and the VT only covers the panel, I believe.
Ok...ok...the needle moved a little. The next patch should give us all the remaining sets in the game that haven't been useful for quite a few patches. Up to speed. Shadow, earths, blackthornes and compass rose maybe as a nice hybrid utility set that can be mushed in for anyones improved playing? who knows. Also i hope the sets 2 patches ago that were good, SWK, m6, reakors, firebirds, get a slight buff so that they can match whats high and mighty now.
The biggest problem I have with Marauder's is how unfriendly it is to mobility, so for the biggest improvement I think they need to revamp sentries again.
They said in the past that they are going back to rework Shadow's Mantle to be a melee based set for Demon Hunters.
Not to mention they aren't going to announce any expansion news now, they need to get the next patch out which, chances are, balance the remaining sets and weak leg affixes in the game. Do a season with that, THEN expansion news because basically everything in the game will be on the same level so to speak. A few improvements to other on going issues IE stash space, paragon level disputes ect ect
