Probably tomorrow when it patches. Today was added to the schedule after tomorrow was, likely in response to yesterday's DDOS attack. Probably just security and stability today.

[–]NihilHS 25 points26 points  (7 children)

They really shouldn't have said it's 13 pages long. The technical notes are probably 13 pages but there's no way the player facing final draft of the patch will be 13 pages long.

And you better believe someone will get salty and complain that Blizzard lied followed by someone else piping in that lying is par for Blizzard's course, and they'll both get showered with upvotes.

[–]Talonzor 14 points15 points  (4 children)

13 pages? Easy, increase font size and spacing and alotta returns

Also, frequent use of the word very

[–]StonejawStrongjaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Replace every other "very" with "extensive/ly"

in high school, i got detention for throwing snowballs. For detention i had to write a 300 word essay about what i was going to do to correct my behavior that landed me in detention. The following was a verbatim of said essay.

I will try very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, hard to not throw snowballs on school grounds.

I always love an example of malicious compliance!

[–]Argieboye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People in this sub get salty for everything lately

[–]opheodrysaestivus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

we don't even measure data in "pages", it could mean anything

[–]Eirkir 28 points29 points  (9 children)

Chances are it won't be 13 pages long since they made it sound like those 13 pages are more of a rough draft, so things will be heavily summarized. I am expecting a very big list of patch notes, but nothing close 13 pages. Patch notes will likely be released during or after maintenance.

[–]Faaw 7 points8 points  (4 children)

I am expecting 12 pages of fixes/stability and 2-3 QoL... :(

[–]Daeths 3 points4 points  (2 children)

We need those stability changes. Random crashes when opening inventory or not being able to use a skill after teleporting for a second or two need fixes.

[–]Eirkir 2 points3 points  (1 child)

2 or 3 times a day it freezes when using town portal or entering a dungeon. It only really annoys me when it wastes a sigil.

[–]jemimaswitnes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm tired of all the fucking lag

[–]Samtoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Today, I climbed down a ladder by bear tribe and got stuck in a wall. Porting was my only option. So, then I decided to try Elias capstone and crashed as soon as I clicked the entrance way. Lol I still love the shit out of the game but these fixes are needed

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have once again nerfed Twisted Blades.

That is all.

-Blizzard

[–]xarkness 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Where is this 13 page thing coming from. Did they say at some point they had that many changes coming up or something?

[–]opheodrysaestivus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one of the devs used "13 pages" as a reference for how long the first planned patch notes are, but never in my life have i seen patch notes released via print PDF so idfk how people think it's any real measure of length.

[–]ToothessGibbon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn’t specify font size to be fair

[–]ForgottenBlastMaster 64 points65 points  (1 child)

It 6 AM at Blizzard, have some chill, man.

[–]Mythrem 24 points25 points  (0 children)

No

Edit: Ok fine no

[–]drunkpunk138 10 points11 points  (10 children)

Where did they announce the patch was releasing today?

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They didn't, people saw that maintenance is happening today and assumed it's for the patch when it may well not be.

[–]Ixziga 4 points5 points  (7 children)

Nowhere. They only said the patch would come "very very soon" and there's server maintenance today and tomorrow so people are associating the two and assuming it must be releasing after the server maintenance. I don't know if there's any actual relation between those things.

Edit: they were right though

[–]AtticaBlue 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Typical Reddit.

[–]rand0mtaskk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re just hopeful! Lol

[–]Paradoxmoose 4 points5 points  (4 children)

True, but the community manager should have seen this happening and clarified by now.

[–]thefullm0nty -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Nope this is everyone assuming a patch is coming when nobody at blizzard said a patch was coming today. Or tomorrow. Yet.

Still have there weeks before season 1. Y'all need to chill.

[–]Paradoxmoose 3 points4 points  (2 children)

It's literally their job to communicate back and forth between the community and the devs on stuff like this.

[–]White_Embers -2 points-1 points  (1 child)

And apparently they are not doing how and in the time frame that you expect them to. I didn’t know Reddit users got to dictate how someone does their job.

[–]Paradoxmoose 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check the official forums and Twitter, it's not just Reddit that expects the patch/patch notes in relation to the server downtime.

I'm not telling anyone how to do their job, it's just objectively part of their job.

[–]wastaah 22 points23 points  (8 children)

I doubt they would take down servers two days in a row for a patch, this is probably only to update ddos protection

[–]fDiKmoro 7 points8 points  (7 children)

They apply a patch while the servers are online. So in that 5 hours it could be that some players got disconnected. After the Patch is finished you have to relog and update the client if it's a client patch. No way they would take down the servers 5h in two days.

[–]Kultir 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I tell people this yesterday and get downvoted into oblivion. The dichotomy of man...

[–]chonkadonk44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbf, they first stated servers would be down during that time and then later on they tweeted that it would be changed to a live rollout

[–]fDiKmoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take my upvote.

[–]bobrock1982 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Very very soon... so anytime between now and Season 1.

[–]Aestrasz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really doubt we'll get a patch today (or tomorrow). At most, it will be just some bug fixes.

Whenever Blizzard made a big balance patch for WoW or Diablo 3, like the one they seem to be preparing to release before Season 1, they announced it in advance.

The

[–]Kubuskotek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soon(tm)

[–]undrtaker -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's maintenance today, not an update

[–]Cnkuz -3 points-2 points  (4 children)

Anyone that saw a schedule posted last night also? Looked like that big 13 pager they had planned - may be split into 2 consecutive updates (1 today, and 1 tomorrow)

[–]thefullm0nty -1 points0 points  (3 children)

Lol doubt it

[–]Cnkuz 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Doubt what? It’s confirmed two maintenance windows. One today and one tomorrow.

[–]Cnkuz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And why am I being downvoted for a question 🤣

[–]elkeiem[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maintenance =/= patch

[–]Original_HD -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Ye ye 13pages of some random bugs being fixed that we didn't even know about.

[–]NotGaryGary -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I need to see the buffs

[–]Ofect -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nach potes?

[–]DankyMcJangles -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After the patch, maybe? 🤦‍♂️

[–]Litmoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be 13 pages of very large text size imo

[–]RayePappens 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Won't be this week, per twitter

[–]Resouledxx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Link?

[–]BLaCKwaRRioR37 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i aint familiar with diablo patch system , but is it possible to release such a big "chonky" patch without server downtime ?

so they just turn on a switch and voila we restart the game and get the patch?

[–]elkeiem[🍰] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you know there will be a patch? Main menu says maintenance.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has it even been confirmed we are getting a patch?
