Anyone has an idea of when it is going to be?

cant give a date before blizz gives one, but they said there would be a PTR before it's release so don't expect it before a while after that comes up. Personally I'm guessing late summer / autum at best, end of the year on the «coming soon» blizzard tendency

They said "Summer." So expect it...next winter

Winter is coming... soon™



Place your bets. Who's gonna release it first? GRRM (next book) or Blizz's first RoS patch?

shit we'll be lucky if HBO isn't done with the series b4 GRRM gets done.

I'd bet early August.

I read somewhere else that it will be after RoS Console... It sucks!

Wouldn't be nice if RoS Console came out with the first main content after expansion? What stupid decisions Blizzard are taking in that case...

I would bet money they will be out about the same time, actually. Console will scream and cry if they are behind PC. and PC is screaming and crying already

The most logical answer I've heard is end of June for PTR, since that is when the AH will be totally shut down. Just as RoS shipped a week after the AH selling was shutdown.

Same time as the Ultimate Evil Edition for consoles?

Im a Monk, and they will be "buffed" at 2.1... Meanwhile afk till this upgrade?

Just FYI, proudly brought to you by Venaliter's awesome netcrawling skills:

Shacknews: No rest for the weary. Even after releasing Reaper of Souls, you guys are already looking ahead to the big SUMMER update. Can you tell us about some of what you have planned for 2.1?

Production Director John Hight: We're working on two major systems for the 2.1 release, first is Seasons....

So, Yeah. Summer. Source: http://www.shacknews.com/article/84210/diablo-3-dev-team-discusses-reaper-of-souls-and-answers

So much time

Makes more sense to drop it around the August Console drop.

Console version is shipping with 2.0.5 (may have even been 2.0.4) and is getting 2.1 at a later date If I remember correctly. The development teams between the PC and console versions of D3 are also completely independent of each other. I don't see why they would release the PTR for 2.1 in August alongside the Console release. At this point it seems that Blizzard is behind the schedule that they set for themselves with 2.1. A few recent blue posts and some comments made during the Anniversary Twitch stream make it seem as if they're still very early on in the 2.1 stages. Most of what they have planned for 2.1 still seem to just be ideas, nothing is really developed just yet.



It seems more like a Fall launch is in order now, maybe even something more along the lines of a PTR in September/October with a release in November alongside Blizzon. We'll have to wait and see, they've been awfully quiet about it in the last few weeks. I know that most people are of the notion that Blizzard tends to keep quiet on patches for D3, but they do usually announce when a patch is coming to the PTR beforehand.

Won't be for a while. 2-3 months AT LEAST if I had to guess. First we need a maintenance. Then we need PTR on that maintenance. Then PTR will go as long as it needs to. Remember 2.0? That PTR lasted for about 3 months

When the tears of all of the Monk's have runneth over their coffee mugs and they have had thier fill. When the cries of a thousand thousand followers of Ytar pierce their ears.

In otherwords: The day after I finally get my OWE perfect resist crafted sets squared away and then they change OWE...

Meanwhile, I'm gonna complete a set of Wizards, one of each...

Soon™
