First off, apologies if there's another thread on this topic. I didn't see one in the first couple of pages.
Given the anniversary event buff details datamined, how likely does everyone think it is that we'll get a big event buff this weekend? The descriptions of the buff seems to imply that it's for the anniversary of Diablo 3 specifically, rather than the Diablo series as a whole. (Anniversary for Diablo as a whole is in December, anyway, and I would hope we're getting a patch before that). May 15th will mark the two-year anniversary of the Diablo 3 launch.
That also leaves me wondering a bit, as the anniversary date is on a Thursday. I certainly don't think they'll confine the buff to one day, since it makes the most sense to include the weekend, grabbing as many potential players as possible. This makes me wonder if they'll simply move it to the weekend, make a long weekend starting Thursday, or even make it a week-long thing. Obviously, this is all just speculation, and we'll know soon enough, but it's fun to think about.
I'm definitely excited by all the different community even buffs datamined. I hope they throw these in for weekends on a much more regular basis. I know it would definitely get me playing more. Yes, I might only end up playing on those weekends, but that's better than not playing at all like I have been.
Edit: With a little more research, I'm convinced it's going to be a week-long buff, as apparently that was the situation last year. Clear your calendars, people.
