Content Patch Test

Alongside the ladder reset we will be releasing Patch #22 (Minium). We will be deploying this patch early to an alternate test realm for playtesting prior to the season start. All details pertaining to this Patch Test will be posted in a separate news post with instructions on how to join the test realm. We aim to give players at least a week of early testing to find any bugs or balance issues in the content patch. We will try to give players as much time as possible but we don't have an exact date & time yet. Stay tuned for more information on that in the coming days.

Patch Notes Livestream

The patch notes for P22:Minium will be released a couple days before the content patch test. The exact date will be determined in the coming days. The goal is to announce the patch notes and the start of the patch test period at least a week prior to the season start but hopefully sooner. In order to post the full patch notes online, the notes first need to be rewritten from rough notes to full & clear sentences formatted into a reddit post. Usually this can take a couple hours, therefore in the past I (GreenDude) have livestreamed the patch notes writing session alongside the community and I plan to do so again this season. It is always fun to see the live chat reaction to the notes line by line. If this interests you then give my twitch page a follow and turn on notifications or join our Discord and keep an eye on the #announcements channel.

Season 12 Ladder Rankings

Season 12 ladder rankings ended on September 8th, as announced previously, to allow a relic beta to occur on the main realm. You may visit the ladder page on our website to see the final standings. Congratulations to Retro- (HC) and Vix (SC) for being first to reach level 99. And to Darain (HC) and Mackanmusic (SC) for first Infernal Diablo. The profile badges for top 5 of each class and first kills will be awarded in the days prior to the ladder start.

Main Realm Maintenance

Patch #22 will bring many new changes that will require some maintenance work on the main realm. The plan is to take down the main realm only once the PTR realm is online and ready for testing the new changes. This means you may only have a few more days to do any last minute tests, or inventory management before the realm becomes inaccessible until reset day.

Non-Ladder Characters

On reset day, existing characters will be converted over to non-ladder. We always release big patches, alongside ladder resets, that can alter skills or items which could corrupt your character save files. Fortunately, there are ways to make sure your character safely transfers to non-ladder. You can solve this by resetting your character's skills and muling away their gear before the patch hits. This means no matter what changes are implemented in patch #22, your character save file should not get corrupted. While characters will be transferred to non-ladder, the stash will not. This is because the stash is now account wide rather than per character. Therefore, transferring the ladder stash to non-ladder would result in wiping player's non-ladder stashes which they may prefer to preserve. This means anything you want to transfer into non-ladder must be placed on a character's equipment or inventory before the maintenance begins in a few days. Please act now if you want to preserve your stash items. Lastly, I must warn that any item containing 'Damage/Magic Damge Reduced by X', 'Absorb' or 'Absorb%' must be destroyed before maintenance day otherwise the character holding the item will become corrupted.This is only a concern for players who wish to play non-ladder after the patch. If you plan on playing ladder you can ignore all of it.

We have a patreon page which allows you to pledge a small amount of money every month to support the servers hosting costs. Your support leading up to a new season is especially appreciated due to the elevated costs incurred from preemptively preparing the infrastructure. If you love this mod, and are able to contribute, please consider donating via paypal, patreon or credit card. Your supporter is needed and appreciated.

As you may know, we had previously recruited some veteran players who have a lot of knowledge and expertise on relics (mapping) so that we may rework relics such as maps for each tier, monster type for each map and monster stats. With player feedback, we will improve that system so that it may be tested prior to the new season. I want players to be able to utilize their existing characters from season 12 to do this so that a before & after is easier to evaluate since the characters themselves will be the same. Therefore, we will set an end date for season 12 at which point the ladder rankings on the website will be archived and will no longer update the EXP even as players continue playing on the realm. If you wish to improve your rankings on the ladder, you will have until September 8th. On this day, a patch containing the relic changes will also release once the rankings have been archived. All players will then be able to play on the updated relics and provide feedback (not just map council). If changes are necessary, they can be implemented during the playtest until we are all happy with the system. Once this happens, we will then set a ladder reset date for season 13 to start a couple weeks later. As usual, the patch notes will be released a week or two prior to the reset and players will be able to playtest the new content patch for bugs on the PTR. The necessary information relating to the reset, such as main realm downtime, non-ladder shared stash and reset start time will be included in the follow-up announcement once the relic playtest concludes.

If you are on the "map council" please check the private discord thread for important information. If you missed the sign-up for that (in June) you can still join now. Note that it takes place exclusively on discord and you must therefore DM me there. This council is for giving feedback on the relic changes and not some exclusive access (playtest will be public to all).

Runewizard

Runewizard has been updated and has now been open sourced on Github so that anyone can help edit it if i'm too busy. And thanks to Qord for helping me finish updating it.

Build Planner

As many of you know, BetweenWalls had previously created a build planner for Path of Diablo called "Portal", however it had not been updated for the last couple patches. Qord and I have updated it and forked it into a new repository on Github so that going forward anyone can help contribute to the updated version.

Check out the updated planner at build.pathofdiablo.com

Map Editing

Want to help us by creating new Relic maps? We have created a guide that helps streamline the process of getting into map editing and we plan to even make some videos on it. With your help, we can add more relics for the next update. If your interesting in trying out our guide and map editing, we would appreciate your help and your feedback on the experience so we can continue reducing the barrier to entry. Please DM @GreenDude on our Discord.

New Forgotten Passwords System

Thanks to the help of Sizzles, we have set up a password recovery system for users who forgot their game passwords. Now, when you reach the game login, you will be able to click on Account Management and then Forgot Password. You can then enter your account name and the email you registered on that account. Note: If you had never registered an email on the account then this system will not work for security reasons. Feel free to DM @GreenDude on our Discord if you both forgot your password and do not have an email associated with your account.
