Well the 3 year Diablo 3 anniversary is coming up why is no one talking about the community buff that has happened before but no one is saying anything about it this year? There's a sale on starting this Friday in the Diabo 3 store (I could care less) and thats it so far. Thoughts people?
Well, last year they winded up making the legendary drop rate permanent, thank blizzard. I would like it if they added some other buff, Double XP/Goblins is always nice.
To be honest, they should just have the buffs on a random weekend rotation. 100% buff to xp one weekend, 100% buff to gold next, double blood shards next, ect, with special events granting 2-3 buffs for thier time period.
One of the blues hinted on the official forums that we would be getting something in-game. That's about it so far.
My thoughts? It won't be a buff to legendary drop rates. People end up becoming miserable when the buff ends and it just causes more problems than anything (imo). I think we will get something like a blood shard/golbin buff.
I wish for something different, would be great if they doubled the keys dropped by keywardens and materials dropped by Uberbosses. Or maybe increase the chances to get ancient gear. Pretty sure that won't happen though
All drops ancient would certainly be pretty epic haha. Unlikely to happy though =[
I would love it if normal rift rg's were replaced with a pair of ubers that drop normal rg loot AND a full set of organs or if every elite became a keywarden. ie. anything to make it so that I don't have to farm keywardens for a day.

Didn't "they" datamine something before 2.2 hit, regarding a future anniversary buff with a cow level?
Maybe I'm mixing stuff up, and these strings just belong to the cow rift currently in the game.
Leads to a place that does not exist. The Burning Hells are not
responsible for events that transpire there. If you claim to have been
to this place, you will be called a liar. Void where prohibited.

I have said and believed for a long while now that these buffs do not happen often enough. Sure, they skew the leaderboards - but for the last two seasons the boards have been overrun with exploiters. It's unfortunate that these only happen every 6 months or so when they have the ability to happen much more frequently and they change up the game so drastically while they're active. The leaderboards are there less for us, and more for them taking the information gathered by the top contenders to balance and make future changes to classes/specs/builds/items/etc.
I was thinking a fun buff they kinda blew it with Easter where maybe randomized bunnies would appear or you could turn them into such or get a new 1 time bunny vault; looks there's alot Blizzard can do for us - they can do anything its all a question of 'are they actually doing anything?' or expecting us to spend money in the store to get more 'stuff' which this game clearly deserves.
Lets be honest.
Player numbers are down.
Player interest is at a low eb (season 3 is boring once you get all your ww barb needs lol, fuck all the other classes just play barb)
Other games have more things to offer or are new.
No. I think Blizzard needs to start fucking stepping up the game here. 426 rift public games / 78 bounties that is not enough to sustain this game!
Thank you all for your replies, keep posting and lets pus this post up maybe Blizz will chime in. Or not. I don't care. I love this game its fun and boring and requires no effort perfect game for people that are doing other things while playing (like watching kids, watching a movie, girlfriend aggro (on lap yes it can be done), um...yea requires little effort once you get great gear T6 soloing bounties/rifts = game becomes fucking boring.
But hey, so is life - I happen to be wealthy can't say that about alot of people. Wealth btw I don't have to work, I choose when I want to or I don't. Most times I don't. But not like fucking Royalty wealthly then again thats been losing its appeal lately.
Anyway eat it, I'm out for a bit. Keep posting lets hope Blizzard comes up with a good Community Buff but you know they probably won't. Expect to be disappointed that why you won't when it happens.
My twitter @DickLongYo I've been spaming diablo 3, wyatt and josh so far nothing. Please add your voices to the call!!
This buff sounds like an absolute blast!! I agree with many people on this that these buffs need to happen more often. Weekend 2x XP, or leg bonus drop... etc. It just gives us something to get pumped about and to look forward to. Even if the events are small, they are still "events" that take us away from the daily grind of GRifting, mats farming etc..
Even new ideas such as "a special something has been placed upon sanctuary. You must find it!" Stuff like that will get us out there to explore and add dimension. And once that "item" or "portal to a diff. dimension" has closed, the community can no longer acquire said item. Making the hunt even funner and players who did not get the item want future items alike even more. These could be physical items you can wear or even just transmog pieces to add flavor. Or better yet, if you find said "item" during a anniversary buff, and the next time that same buff gets activated lets say 1 year later, the legendary affix on that item adds to your chances on finding the "new" years anniversary buff item.

That would suck tbh xD

what about daily sandwich from blizzard?
I am beast, so beastly.
That's hilarious.
Some people on the official forums are posting SS of the buff supposedly from Asian servers. Though they could very well be Photoshopped.
I guess we will know soon enough.
