diablo-3-public-test-realm-pta

Vor etwa zwei Stunden ist der angekündigte Public Test Realm (PTR) zu Diablo 3 Patch 2.1.0 online gegangen. Auf dem Server können alle Diablo-3-Spieler mit einem funktionierenden Battle.net-Account und einer gültigen Diablo-3-Lizenz den in Entwicklung befindlichen Patch schon vor der Veröffentlichung testen. Um teilzunehmen, müsst ihr euch in der Bnet-Accountverwaltung einen PTR-Account erstellen und die Bnet-Desktop-App herunterladen. Anscließend könnt ihr Charaktere auf den Public Test Realm kopieren und dort spielen. Eine genaue Anleitung findet ihr auf der offiziellen Seite von Blizzard.

Diablo 3 Patch 2.1.0 – die vorläufigen Patchnotes

Zusammen mit dem PTR wurden außerdem die vorläufigen Patchnotes veröffentlicht. Diese sind wirklich nur vorläufig und werden sich bis zur finalen Version noch an vielen Stellen ändern.

PATCH FEATURES

New Feature: Seasons
Seasons are an optional, recurring game mode that offers players the opportunity to periodically start fresh, leveling Normal or Hardcore characters from scratch without gold, resources, or previously earned Paragon experience. Similar to the separation between Normal and Hardcore game modes, Seasonal characters will have their own shared stash and artisan progression as well. Any items, gold, or Paragon experience earned during a Season will be rolled over to a player’s non-Seasonal characters once the Season concludes.

Seasons offer unique rewards and new challenges for players, including new Legendaries, an exclusive Transmogrification set only available to those who compete in each Season, and new achievements called Conquests. Progress within a given Season will be tracked in our new Leaderboard system.

Please note that Seasons are not yet available for testing on the PTR. This feature will be enabled at a later date.

New Feature: Greater Rifts
Formerly referred to as Tiered Rifts, Greater Rifts are a special type of timed Nephalem Rift. There are an infinite number of Greater Rift levels, and each Greater Rift level will be progressively more difficult than the last.

Completing a Greater Rift within its alloted time will allow players to progress to the next level (and if your time is exceptionally good, you may even skip multiple levels at once). Players can continue progressing through Greater Rift levels so along as they complete the Rift before its timer expires. Once a timer expires, players will reach the end of their current Greater Rift journey and their best results will be tracked in our new Leaderboard system.

New Feature: Leaderboards
With the addition of Seasons and Greater Rifts, we want to provide players with a way to measure their progress within each of those environments. To do so, we’ve created Leaderboards.

Leaderboards will track a variety of competitive player data including Greater Rifts clear times, Seasonal achievement point totals, and Seasonal Conquest completion ranking across several different game styles. Designed to be informative and detailed, Leaderboards will also allow you to compare your progress to that of players within your gameplay region, on your friends list, and in your clan roster.

New Feature: The Cesspools
In patch 2.1.0 and moving forward, players will now have a chance to spawn a new level environement while in a Nephalem Rift or Greater Rift: The Cesspools.

Originally designed as the sewers of Westmarch, we weren’t quite able to include the Cesspools in the list of playable environments in Reaper of Souls by the time the expansion launched. Still, we loved the look and feel of this festering, dank underworld and have spent some time polishing it up for use in Nephalem Rifts and Greater Rifts. We hope you enjoy this new randomized landscape!
