Once we've released the patch, simply ensure that you're connected to either your PlayStation Network or Xbox Live account, and the patch will be made available to your console.
I've confirmed that the patch has begun to deploy, but when it actually gets pushed to your console can vary somewhat. Keep an eye out!
Annoying Urshi
A thread over on the official forums has users criticizing how Urshi repeats her dialogue a little bit too often in the game. Nevalistis clarified that this will likely be addressed in a future patch. Read below.

I FREAKING GET IT!
My running theory as to why this started happening is that Urshi really just wants to be heard. I'm sure it gets lonely in those rifts!
Kripp's Thornsader & Season 5 Review
Kripparian played some Reaper of Souls last week after a long hiatus. You can see his video below, where he goes over his thoughts on patch 2.4 and the revamped Season 5. Do you agree with his opinions on the current state of the game? Let us know what are your thoughts in the comments section!
"in a future patch", so basically next season.
Well, you can exit and reenter a game! It shouldn't take more than 15 seconds! But I see your point.
Removing the need to open and close games for Vault & Infernal keys would help with over all server lag, not that any one used there heads when it comes to servers.... SO yes this should come before some silly skipping dialogue...
I am a huge Kripparian fanboy for years now, but you can really skip that video. It tells you nothing and only shows you really casual invoker gameplay during the gearing phase. Basically everything you did as a crusader on day 1+2 of the season.
I just enjoyed seeing him play D3 - and enjoy it - aswell as hearing his thoughts on the state of the game. I'm sure "huge fanboys" will appreciate it in the same way.
"haven't played since season 2" ... later in the video, "haven't had this much fun since my monk last season."
While you're at it, ask her to stop standing on top of all of the things.
Urshi? Really, that's what you've got, her dialog? I can deal with that, I can deal with her standing on loot, even after 10, 25, 43 runs... What I can't deal with is the bizarre, chaotic and extremely odd way there is no organization of legendary gems... sure I could just rank them all, but on a run I wanna rank my socketed... the game has been made so "dumb" as in "lazy", I mean heck, I'd be prepared to bring what I was going to rank instead of fumbling through and entire collection to find what I'm using... Crawling should be about preparedness, not convience. You didnt bring the right gem,? oh well pack better.
Urshi's dialogue is a problem? The other 2 followers not being hired is more of a problem.
Oh I got you, that sounds legit. Unfortunately, I'm on PS4 and not PC. I simply cannot figure out what to do. Is it the same.
Why Krip is even relevant in Diablo3 anymore is beyond me. Might as well host a video from a nobody. They at least will have info that may be relevant.
from what I watched before I got bored with it he failed to mention any part of the Kanai's cube that required you to do Bounties to rip pieces of gear. I'm no fanboy for anyone. I find that being a fanboy ruins the game when most fanboys are better than the person they are fanboying over. In all honesty they should remove the ability for fanboys to help these players and make them earn their place on the ladder better. Have a toon that is souly 1 player it doesn't share paragon nothing. Claiming "we are part of a clan" doesn't help either. I'm in a clan most of us do our own thing we are just basically there to talk and give ideas on builds. So we get a has been comin back saying "oh don't give them this or that" ok I agree some what seeing as how I didn't even use the bags til I rolled a wiz to mess around on. Farmed up Might of the Earth, Wastes, Raekor's, and Immortal Kings by running rifts or doing bounties for mats to roll rares into the set items or legendaries I wanted. So his whole speech about not needing to do this or that means he doesn't understand the state of the game.
Except doing that resets the loot table for your game, which can be a huge deterrent if you're trying to get another copy of a rare item you already got that game.
This makes no sense, I'm sure Snoop Dogg has hundreds of thousands (if not more) of actual followers; but, if he started talking about the state of, or how to compose, country western music that would be irrelevant. People will hear him, but that makes absolutely zero difference about the relevance of the content.
Kripp is more casual than Rhykker, and unlike Rhykker (who, I admit, helps the noobs because he knows where they're coming from) he says absolutely nothing of value. Why should I give a shit about what a guy who doesn't play Diablo thinks about the "state" of Diablo or his noob ass crusader build that has been posted here since the PTR for 2.4 was released, good or bad? Play Diablo you can judge for yourself the "state" of the game.
Now if someone like Chainer, or Quin, or Philos had some legitimate complaint... I might(!) listen to what they have to say; but, then again, should I not agree with what they have to say....so be it. What some guy who makes a video of his gameplay says has no bearing on my experience.
With that said, Dfans perpetuating streamers such as this is BS. There are plenty of new, or fledgling, streamers out there who deserve to be featured... I can't say the same for a guy who, again, does not play this game; and furthermore, bitches about what the games main objective is... Like I said before, Kripp's little build has been in the builds section of Dfans for months now: So, I'm sure there was someone along the line who made a video to go along with their build, and that's what should be featured, if that's the purpose. Otherwise, Dfans is little better than the media keeping the Kardashians "relevant."
How is not making any sense? Snoop Dogg makes no sense, because he doesn't have anything to do with western music (to take your example word to word) whilst Kripp has been very relative in this game at a time! He had a handful of world first in this game and he has a general idea about it!
But what you're missing most I believe is that he is trying to give the state of game from the perspective of someone who hasnt played the game in about half a year! He said it! His video wasn't a guide or an instruction of how you should play Thorns Crusader! He just said what he did and how he did it! And I believe, that many people found the video insightful, because the amount of people who havent played Diablo in about half year, are more than you think! So I believe he spoke mostly for them! Chainer, Quin, Philosophios etc are elitists (in the good sense and meaning of the word) They aim for the top! Kripp did not! He knew ahead of time that he will play only for a week or so!
On an ending note, Diablofans got more views because of that video (That is only a personal guess) I check Diablofans from time to time, but Kripp's video brought me here that day, not the other way around!
