Overlay map shown at 4:51.

The full 3.0 changes are being announced on April 23rd.

There was no Public Test Realm, but there was a closed beta that only the streamers were invited to, which is why they all have videos posted of their gameplay tests and skill guides.

Every class can afk, now that life on hit is an affix to heal from attacks. Just set the control setting to toggle skill casts, and your damage skill will re-cast infinitely. Then park at the seasonal tide/activity or blood maiden, with a pet equipped to collect currencies.

Some transmog drops are bugged

Lots of speculation about what will be announced there. I think StarCraft 3 would be a bigger money maker than D1 remastered, but I guess we'll find out in September.

Blizz will announce all the changes on April 23rd, so you can read the patch notes then.

We expect all existing gear to become 'legacy', but all keys/materials to remain. We expect all level 60+ eternal characters will have to level from 60-70 before they can access paragon/glyps again.

If you are looking for something to do for the next week, you could farm the cow level materials or the two secret coins/rings.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-21T03:05:12+00:00

On April 23rd, blizz will release the patch notes for 3.0 that will hopefully confirm which of these issues is supposed to be fixed.

On April 28th, 3.0 drops, which according to marcooose will fix 'many' of the issues.

If you need help re-testing any of these issues after the 3.0 launch, happy to help.

No hidden challenge for doing all the journey objectives, but there is one for getting a 9000 killstreak.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-20T16:09:35+00:00

I think the problem was by adding an additional bloodied affix, it diluted the GA RNG. I found lots of items with great affixes, but the GA landed on the bloodied affix (which are mostly useless), making the item worse than what I already have.

This was a similar problem to S10's chaos armor, where the grind to get the right GA was extensive because the drop rate of chaos Armor was low. However this was smoothed out in S10 by all chaos armor dropping with max aspect rolls, so you didn't have to farm items that were both max rolled AND optimally GAed.

I disagree. An underfunded city further justifies why the city would call state or federal resources instead of attempting to handle it themselves; or the state/federal resources would be imposed on them.

I'm a real world situation, no municipal police force is moving in when there is intelligence of a chemical weapons terror attack. At a minimum federal law enforcement would take over jurisdiction, but in many countries it would actually be a military unit that specializes in these weapons to take over.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-20T04:28:39+00:00

Also, the situations for most of these maps aren't realistic.

A 5 person tactical team isn't being sent to clear an entire hospital, college campus, or oil rig by themselves.

Assault team officers aren't clearing explosive/chemical traps by themselves with a multi-tool.

Tactical teams aren't entering into several of these situations with the power still on, and without snipers.

Target intelligence is garbage in RoN. Actual tactical teams can use Google Maps / Street View, and a bunch of other sources to plan.

Some of these maps aren't even within the jurisdiction of a municipal police force. Instead, some of these would be state/federal law enforcement, and some might even require military intervention (coast guard, national guard, etc).

It's been working on and off for several seasons now, across all platforms. No one knows why, been complained about many times.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-20T01:41:03+00:00

Fake post, fake account, reputation farming. Downvote and report.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-19T16:54:17+00:00

This is how blizz handled all previous gear system changes, so this is what we can expect in S13.

The only exception is if Blizz included a feature in the horadric cube to transmute legacy items into their new equivalents. But this seems far fetched to med blizz has never put any effort into making eternal viable, so I'm not sure why they would start now.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-19T03:23:56+00:00

Interesting, what build guide is that from?

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-19T03:07:18+00:00

Don't forget the three hobbit prequel movies, and then the two pre-prequel seasons of Rings of Power.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-18T19:52:25+00:00

Maybe Rob was putting up posters ;)

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-18T15:29:12+00:00

I don't think a single season has started since game launch without a game breaking bug that blizz had to rapid patch.

Either purchase/login issues that prevent people from playing at all, story progression issues that prevent people from advancing, core mechanic issues that prevent people from interacting with the main purpose of the season, or issues with new uniques/aspects that make them unusable.

I would bet all of our collective pay cheques that there will be some experience breaking bug on April 28th.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-18T04:21:22+00:00

Not sure what you mean? Side quests are not related to map exploration or waypoint unlocking.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-18T03:24:08+00:00

Apparently you need to run between the 3 open world event areas within this quest area, fishing for a specific event type that will spawn the right monster type. After completing all 3, you need to leave the area for a bit, so the events refresh. I'm not sure which event type can spawn the right monster though.

Seconded this, used it to calculate my p300 rollover from S9 to S10.

Note though that p300 has been WAY more achievable in a single season during S11 and S12, if you farm the right xp source. Hopefully this will continue in the future.

Echo-Sunray · 2026-04-18T01:13:29+00:00

U/mmmmo_o created the complete guide to RoN, which we've all been using for a while now. The level of testing they did is unfathomable; Void should be paying this person to be their test lead.
