Here is a look at where the PTR patch notes stand as of now for a recap for anyone who might not remember all the changes. We will of course post once the final patch notes have been posted.

A notification is now sent to all players in a multiplayer game whenever a party member engages an Elite monster or Treasure Goblin in combat, and their location will be shown on the mini-map

BATTLE.NET
Matchmaking
Players will now be able to search for games that were started on any quest once they have reached level cap

Players can now enter a message that will be broadcast to their friends
Players can now create multi-user conversations
There are multiple ways to start a conversation or invite other players to an existing conversation:
To start a conversation, open Public Chat Options, then select Invite Friends > Start Conversation or use the "Start a Conversation" option in the Social window by right-clicking on a friend's name
To invite or add friends to an existing conversation, open Public Chat Options, then select Invite Friends or use the "Invite to a Conversation" option in the Social window by right clicking a friend's name and selecting the desired conversation

If needed, this feature can be disabled from the Social Options of the Game menu

Alternatively, the Party Guide can right click on a party member's portrait and pass them the Party Guide title
The Party Guide will have a unique icon that will appear on the mini-map

Blocked players will no longer appear in your "Recent Players" list
BOSSES
Bug Fixes
Skeleton King
A bug causing The Skeleton King and The King of the Dead to not play an animation when performing their Whirlwind attack should now occur less frequently
Damn...anyone else dissapointed the patch is releasing like this? Theres still so much tuning that needs to be done...
But at the same time, there are a lot of ppl complaining about the the time needed on the PTR. I think the patch is okay, the monster density can be hotfix anyways, but the rest of the changes are made and done. But, I doubt it's tomorrow.
Sounds good, we really need to get this patch out so that Blizzard can actually start rolling out more meaningful changes such as with itemization changes, more pvp zones, and continued class balance.
I'm actually excited to play again. With drops being better and experience gains buffs in parties, this should be fun!
There is no new or good drops, items will be exactly the same. This is a small tweaking patch. Blizzard did some good work but really need to do some itemization changes and buffs..
I hope this will bring more co-op games. I'm tired to play alone and my friends left
And with Tags, we already know what the plan of the party is, so it's a good quality of life change for me.
Man I hope it's tomorrow =D AFAIK last week was the last time they rolled out tweaks to the density in the PTR, and I think the feedback's been good on it. Me thinks tomorrow !
Wait, I didn't quite get that. So they are releasing the patch 1.08 on the official servers right? This is not yet another patch for the PTR?
The rumor is the patch is coming out tonight (this morning) because it's been loaded onto the LIVE patch servers. From my understanding, there's PTR servers, Live servers, than live patch servers. I think.

The patch is loaded, but it won't be live until they push the update to our clients. I'm thinking they will wait until the 14/15, due to anniversary reasons.
Technically speaking there is no reason to wait for the 14th just for the anniversary buff. The buff can be activated and deactivated at any time once it's on the client. It'll likely be the same anniversary buff to be used for years to come. If preferred bonuses don't change that is.

Sorry, I didn't mean that the patch contains the Anniversary buff. I meant they will likely "celebrate" the anniversary with the release of the patch on live servers.

Yeah, which is precisely why 1.08 should have gone live weeks ago. Blizzard is stuck in one.

Keep in mind this is not the same patch that is on the PTR, they can have changes in this patch that were NOT in the ptr
