Blue Post on Datamining

Tyvalir replied to a thread with a friendly warning about datamined info. He explaiuns how it might be misleading at times since it does not have the context of a change, and how some changes never actually be implemented. Read below.

 

Also if you missed the changelog for the latest PTR build, released this last Tuesday, check out our previous post

"Datamined" information is oftentimes illegible and misleading, so I don't even bother reading it for spoilers.
As these comments suggest, it's important to take datamined info with a lump of salt - especially since data strings can refer to content that isn't in the current patch, or content that's not planned for release (i.e. it's only being used as a placeholder).

For example, some people have noticed a string suggesting a Diablo pet in the most recent PTR patch. Just to make it clear, this pet won't be in Patch 2.4.2.

This is also why we always encourage players to follow our official PTR patch notes to track changes; datamined info may be enticing, but it doesn't tell the full story.

Curse of Tristram SC2 Mod

A while ago we featured a video showcasing a Starcraft 2 mod by egod called Curse of Tristram, meant to recreate the D2 experience. He has uploaded a video showing the latest version and it has improved a lot. There's even some PvP content towards the end - check it out!
