PTR is up now official patch notes

http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/19814212/patch-230-ptr-patch-notes-6-30-2015

If ya wanna save on the download make a new folder called "Diablo III Public Test" and copy your game install across to it. Ends up bein like a 500mb patch rather than re-downloading the whole game

Interesting so far, done the Sescheron area, got the cube, saw that cube needs materials from the map region Bounties >_<

Bounty cache drops them, on T7 I got 4 of the item. Looks like you need to farm all map regions for the various materials for the cube. Adding legendaries requires mats as well :/

 

[sharpygsxr]

aye thats the intention to give people a reason to do more than act1 bounties, still patching mine its slow as fek atm

1hr queue woot, at least can import our toons

switched to my HC barb no queue woot for HC

1st observations they really want you to get rid of that excess gold. Topaz crafting mats for the cube at 500k each from vendor. First T7 rift i ran i end up with 600k repair bill

2000% legendary and 300% experience buffs on the PTR.

At least the hellfire stuff is easy to farm now, T7 seems to just take longer to kill mobs. I'm guessing that T8-9 should be easy. Yet to just push it to T10.

 

[Defiant306]

Just seen a comparison for the Torment levels:

T10 is GRift 45 (guessing, Ive not gone past 41 in seasons)
T9 is GRift 40
T8 is GRift 35
T7 is GRift 30

PTR game queue 1hr 45m lol

 

[Ayahuasca]

7 hour queue times, gg.

 

[kmax86]

this is hopeless lol. People are supposed to be on work today instead of playing ptr

 

[kthula666]

Says 2 hours 5 mins for PTR and it has said that for 2 hours since I tried to get on.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Might be a good idea to set up a PTR clan so we can invite each other to games.

 

[sharpygsxr]

PTR clan set up guys, just search OcUK under English(British) or add me Sharpy#2557 come join the PTR queue clan

 

[kmax86]

I give up. 20 hrs queue time lol I will wait when the hype settle downs a bit

 

[llamadal]

thats insane queue times, I think I will give the ptr a miss!

 

[sharpygsxr]

managed to get in for a bit, Carnevil build with Mask of Jeram, SMK and RROG in the cube. F+R equipped and its mental, top wd is about 62 atm, didnt even look at the new set yet

 

[kthula666]

Just started work and logged on PC to see 9 hour wait time. Should have left PC at home logging on so it will be ready for when I get home lol.

Well i did the same thing, went to work this morning after logging into the queue which said 23 hrs as i left for work :/, came home switched on my monitors and instinctively pressed the power button on my PC . . . . . thereby shutting it down!!

No idea if i had actually got in but what a gimp i am lol, now back in 23 hr queue

Also lol at the new cat mojo

 

[Drollic]

So what orange passives are ww barbs going to be opting for? (I take it the one from the furance is a given for the weapon).

 

[kmax86]

Furnace, cassius/hexing, ele amulet/unity will probably be the favorite

Might try shard of hate or thunderfury if they proc frequently

 

[Fallen god]

I can't even get the PTR to install properly, keep saying its corrupted oh well. 2.3 does look like a great patch thou, excited for it to drop.

 

[sharpygsxr]

lovin the PTR been on in some shape or form probably about 5 hours a day, gave crusader a go today the new hammerdin set is great fun.

for the WD the new sets sadly just aint capable of running with Zuni they definately need some buffing.

Major hype for season 4 now, will prob keep WD as main but crus will be shortly after
