It seems to be related to net lag somehow.... but as I am saying, it only happens on PTR and not on live servers. I have a GTX970 so I highly doubt thats the problem.
Or maybe seasons are going to be 2 month long. Starting from 0 is a lot different then at the start of RoS where people already had tons of good items/paragon lvls. In 2 months probably less than 1% of the players would have reached t6 and GR 30+.
Blizzard is clearly going the season way, which mean they dont really care if youre hardcore pwning t6 outside of seasons.
I've gone ahead and looked into what you're reporting here. As a side note - Super sorry I can't chat with you in-person! Looks like we got the wrong number in the ticket But right now your ticket has got my undivided attention.
So the new patch is a pretty good sized content update. The reson it is 10gigs is you are downloading a completely different client not just and new update. unfortunately there is no way to make this smaller as the data is all crucial to playing the PTR.
What I recommend is to start the download over night and it should be finished when you wake up in the morning
I hope this clears everything up for you but let us know if anything else comes up.

Thank you for your time.
I hope your adventures are half as epic as your loot!

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to install the PTR (for patch 2.1) without having to redownload the game??
I eagerly want to play the PTR but can't cause it is saying I need to download 10gig of data (pretty much the entire game) and I don't have that much bandwidth left until the end of the month :P...
Anyway I find it kinda rediculous to have to redownload the whole game for the equivalent of 100m (max) of changes. Why can`t it just copy the original RoS and just apply the changes to the copied version?
I updated my last post with my build (probably at the same time you were posting your post haha).
Well, I might be wrong here.... but I was saying that since it happened many many time so I went and tested it and it worked on my side. Like I wasnt using my frozen orb (only cold dmg here) and was seeing that cold meteor being proc'd. My weapon is the Utar's roar.
I went ahead and did another test. I switched for a wand that has arcane dmg, and without using Black Hole, I was often seeing my arcane meteor being proc'd.
EDIT : try and test it with Electrocute. Maybe its electrocute that is buged... When I get home I'll retry those test with different spell and keep this thread updated.
EDIT 2 : My follower wears the Mad Monarch (which is poison if Im correct), so it cant be him proc'ing it
Started having fun with that 4pieces Tal yesterday, and first thing I realized is that
you can proc meteor with the weapon damage type.
So if you have a weapon that has the primary affix "+ X to Y arcane damage", attacking with that weapon with any skill will trigger that meteor. I realized that because my weapon had a cold damage bonus to it and my electrocute was triggering the cold and lightning meteor proc.
Spec wise, I went with cold focus cause my wiz was cold last time I played it (3-4 weeks ago) and I do t4 very easily with that. - (lightning) Electrocute + surge of power - (cold) Frozen Orb - (fire) Familiar + sparkflit - (arcane) Black hole + spellsteal - Force Weapon - Pinpoint barrier
Btw the hotfix ninja happened yesterday... and I gotta say, SoH is still VERY strong...
Used to proc every time (which made it broken with things like WW). Now it procs around 65% to 70% of the time. Its still very strong, just less then before...
What the game need are items that do big changes to your build and therefor increase significantly your DPS, not simple OP weapons. There are already lots of those nice game changing items (Gyana for example, or mirror ball), and Josh Mosquiera told us there would be much more in the future!
I love about 95% of the current system. The only thing I would change is to allow legs to be transferred within 2 hours of drop to anyone who has been in the guild for at least 1 week (or maybe longer).

Am I the only one having its FPS drop to 2 (!!!) when legendary items drop on the PTR?? This is very anoying and doesnt happen on live servers.
Edit: It's even worse for kadala... if I start trying to get items on her, it freezes...
Edit 2 : this was caused by the bounty bugged bag from pre-70 bounties. Found out how to get rid of them and it fixed all the weird lag...
