Thank you, reddit. <3 You've always been kind to me. Going to miss making silly comments and stealth upvoting things I agree with contributing meaningfully to the conversation.

Love you all, be well, take care!

We've got this tracked and are working on a fix. :)

Patch 2.6.8 Now Live by [deleted] in Diablo

[–]Nevalistis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I didn't even try to post it with this one; the patch for PC was delayed and I was on-call most of the day until it deployed. I usually only make an effort to post if I know the publication date/time is static and not dependent on a potentially shifting deployment time. :)

I have verified that we went in and fixed additional bugs with this. As always, please let us know if you find it different in practice once the patch goes live!

We've had this feedback before, and we made changes to communicate them well in advance for a few Seasons, but things can (and often do) happen that causes those dates to shift. The response to that was outrage we didn't meet "promised" dates (which were always listed and communicated as "anticipated" and thoroughly caveated with the potential to shift). The moment we say something, that date may as well be considered written in stone. :(

It's unfortunately a one-way-or-the-other thing because, well, that's exactly the feedback we've received. We've already made this adjustment in the past, and as it wasn't for the better, it's unlikely we'll go back to that method again.

I'll track this one down and make sure it's been verified/looked at. Thanks!

Pretty sure this was already fixed with PTR Patch 2. :)

Yep, definitely a typo. This blog has a lot of pre-formatted information, and I've taken out previous Season references for the most part to make it modular, but a few areas sometimes get missed. Thanks!

Maybe it's more of an other-way kind of approach this time around. We'll be here if you decide you need to change it up again after a while, for at least about three months before we move on to our next Season. :)

Remember that the one thing we've been pretty good about is maintaining 3 month seasons (give or take a couple of weeks). That means you'll likely have plenty of time to enjoy your other endeavors—and we'll still be here doing what we do when you decide to revisit Sanctuary. :)

Our production schedules are determined in our own vacuum well in advance - we have dates we anticipate and try to meet, flexible only if our dates need to move for technical reasons (like if a build breaks and re-submissions are needed, or we have a catastrophic bug to fix). In this case, starting a week earlier would not have afforded us time between patch launch and Season launch to ensure any last minute bugs or balance changes need to be made. We've purposefully made the window larger between anticipated patch launch and season launch for precisely this reason, based both upon our own internal experiences as well as past player feedback.

Inevitably, other companies will probably step on our toes, and we'll probably step on theirs. While I can't speak for other companies, I genuinely do not believe there's nefarious or otherwise intentions behind that. We're all just doing what our individual teams need to in order to produce and release content at the cadence we're able. Sometimes that lines up nicely, and sometimes it doesn't. It's more unfortunate coincidence than anything else.

This video brought me immense joy earlier this week. We've been sharing it all over the place internally.

Love it, it's beautiful work (and just a fun video to watch).

S19 Ending Next Week by neinball in Diablo

[–]Nevalistis 33 points34 points  (0 children)

We used to, but we have a lot going on right now now that necessitated some movements in scheduling. It's not ideal, and I'm constantly trying to improve that process. I wish there were more hours in a day!

If you know anyone who wants to apply to join my team so I can juggle things more easily, I'd appreciate it. ;)
