Like I said, I agree they needed to fix these, but they need to do something more elegant that doesn't punish regular people.

The answer is actually very easy: random generated maps. If the chance to find good loot/xp is equal on the next map and in a restarted game, people won't bother restarting. Adventure Mode is nice, but even there, only Nephalem Rifts are randomly generated. Blizzard should have used the chance in 2.0, and address the elephant in the room. They should have made 95% of the campaign randomly generated. It's a shame really.

Impossibru!

Gratz on that. A bit far from the 1500 like in 1.08, and not a lot higher than 1h-ers, but it's certainly a progress... from 300 dps 2.0 Skorns.

Post here if you get anything nice... Also, does the bugfix effect bows/xbows?

Excessive punctuation (ascii art and whatnot) in thread titles isn't allowed on official forums, as per Code of Conduct, and mods usually delete those. You got banned because you repeatedly recreated the same offending titles, and that counts as spam.

Now, if you posted constructively, your message would still be visible.

icefall cave lvl 2 is fixed location . got it multiple time when cave was there

I can confirm this, Icefall Caves 2 Cursed Chest always spawns. The dungeon itself has a 50% spawn rate, as it shares the spawn place with Caverns of Frost. It's easy to find as there are 6 possible spawnpoints, and the 3 wrong ones are marked with destroyed catapult icons on the Field of Slaughter. Also 5 spawnpoints are close to the WP. I farmed this chest and my record was 8 waves cleared on normal PTR. Anyone with a better result?

Does anyone know a better Cursed Chest to farm? Halls of Agony Cursed Chest is close to the WP, but the spawnrate is not high enough.

we don't even know if these changes are gonna make it to a PTR/beta until they do

Thechnically, this IS from the PTR A wee bit unintended and released early, as the servers aren't live yet, but this was posted by Blizzard to the public content delivery network which is used in open betas, public tests, and live games.

And yeah, I don't like the direction of the changes either. Apart from the WD, all classes will have to make gearing changes, and on the high end every piece is super expensive. I know that all gear will be replaced when I hit level 70, but there will be months of level 60 gaming between the patch and the expansion. I don't want to get instantly crippled on level 60 once again, just because Blizzard wants to fix things it screwed up. I never invested RM in my characters, but time is more precious anyways, and there is over 1500h of gameplay in my character. Please understand my concern.

Even with it being in alpha testing they can very very easily pull all of the Data files we have access to. All they would need to do is push out a new TFIL file to their alpha testers with either new file locations on their CDNs or it redirected to another CDN then remove it from the current CDNs and *boom* gone from public view. In fact they could probably host it on their own in-house CDN which we have no access to.

And this is why I think that this 'leak' was not intended, it was a mistake or oversight by the dev team, despite Lylirra's remark "That's just how uploading game builds to CDNs roll."

I kept refreshing that thread all day, and somewhere after it reached page 11 I got the "Thread deleted" page. It wasn't just an accidental error, I tried a few times after that. I guess they changed their minds, and now they returned it.

Blizzard's PR folks must be troubled by this leak, but it's out now, they can't do anything about it, so yeah, I'd be surprised if they tried to fight it.

The thread on the official forum discussing this leak has been deleted. Cease and desist incoming here?

Google Translate:

I confirm that Blizzard employees are testing various elements Reaper of Souls, and some of these items are available on the test server. I remind you that the data is a test server and they are by no means final. Also warn against spoilers contained in these articles. Information on the progress of the development of the addition we will publish on our official website.

I keep trying to read the lists, but every five seconds my mind gets blown. This is insane, if the expansion is adding everything that we see here, I can't really fathom why anyone would not buy this.

I think somethings will be cut. Too much content to be true imo. This makes LoD looks liek a joke.

Nah, you're just not used to look game content in this way. It'd be silly to expect that a game that lasts years would fit in a few forum posts. It is not too much. Some of the content might be cut, but some content will be added too. I can already see placeholder stuff here.

Quote from Ferret

Though you didn't really do anything wrong, you could have opened a dialogue to ask if they would be OK with you getting a five stack first. Other than that, the most sensible thing would have been to just leave after seeing they were already doing ubers.

It would have been more fair to call it open beta until 2.0 though

Great summary, thanks!

The part about the Mystic is a bit incorrect though:

Enchants existing gear - can reroll the affixes of Rare and Legendary items
The player chooses which stats will be rerolled

Should be:
Enchants existing gear - can reroll one affix on Rare and Legendary items
The player chooses which affix will be rerolled

That's what Josh Mosqueira said in Kongor's interview:

Well, it's possible that some people kept their stealth-identified storage after the PTR scam was revealed, waiting for unid prices to rise.

Or, even more likely, someone might have bought cheap stealth-identified unids during the PTR scam (without knowing that for sure), for the sole purpose of reselling much, much later.

Unids were always a shady business.
