My apologies if there is already another thread on this, but I didn't see one in a quick look just now. It looks like the Nephalem Trials that were announced back at Gamescom have been delayed indefinitely, and won't launch with RoS.
Not a big loss in my book, since it was pretty far down the list in terms of things I was/am excited about. Still, I hope they aren't delayed in the same sense that PvP is delayed.
Yes, it might get even further delayed, but two things should be considered:
1) As has been said in the bluepost, although the general mechanic of NT has been delayed, some of the encounters still are included in RoS.
2) PvP wasn't included because they need to get PvE right at first, and balancing that is already quite hard. Balancing the game around PvE and PvP at the same time is like open heart surgery. I'd rather them get one thing perfectly right than two things kinda "meh".
I personally think the expansion has already loads of interesting new content and this is not something that'll make me go "OH NOEZ, I'M NOT GONNA BUY ROS NOW". It would've been a nice addition, but it could've easily put me into choice paralysis (Nephalem Trials? Nephalem Rifts? Bounties? Story Mode? What the hell should I do now?)

I generally agree with all of this, and I'm not really all that bothered by it being delayed. It's a little annoying, but it is what it is. I just wasn't sure if it had come up anywhere else on the forums yet, that's all. I'm sure some people will see this as reason #847 that Blizzard sucks and RoS will be a waste of money, but honestly I don't know why those people still visit fansites.
THey probably will cut ladders also since the PS4 version cant really do that stuff... kind of sucks.
Ladders haven't even been announced yet so ............
In regards to the original post, I don't really tend to get too fussed about things being scratched. It usually probably means that it didn't fulfill what they were hoping. I know plenty of things like the tailsman, mystic were scratched for original launch but what if the Tailsman sucked? Of course the mystic provides argument that they just saved it for a content patch/expansion, which I really don't know/have an opinion on.
Well, even if Trials don't make it to the game, part of them are already within Bounties and Nephalem Rift. It's good to know that we can expect more content patch
It is a very big deal. The fact that they decided not to implement NT suggests that they are willing to cut other projects as well, like ladders for example. The same thing happened originally with D3 vanilla, most things suddenly disappeared. I still cannot comprehend how they could release the game in such a poor state..
This is why they don't like to give too many details on features.

Really? Isn't loot 2.0, paragon 2.0 and adenture mode going to be in patch 2.0, aka available to vanilla d3. Right now its just crusader and act V that is in the expansion.

I think the analogy to PvP is not correct.

But maybe this time we get lucky, who knows.

Whoops never the mind. Read on the offorums they are different.
Blizz needs to throw the kitchen sink at this expansion after the debacle that is vanilla d3.
