Patch 2.6.8 PTR Has Ended, Presumed Season 20 Start The second and final week of patch 2.6.8 / Season 20 testing has ended and the PTR has been taken down. As we know the Season 19 end date is coming in just over a week on March 1st, it seems likely the new patch will arrive a few days later, or on March 3rd, if everything goes the same way 2.6.7 did. Following the same pattern, we should be seeing Season 20 itself 10 days later on March 13th. Hopefully we'll get the final patch and season notes a bit sooner this time around, but meanwhile you can check out the most recent PTR notes here. Diablo III D3 1 comment Today at 06:50 by Starym

Patch 8.3 Hotfixes: February 20th A big batch has arrived after a few smaller ones, with some Monk, Karazhan and Ny'alotha fixes, as well as item tweaks and PvP Servant of N'Zoth issues. World of Warcraft WoW Today at 02:26 by Starym

Era Reset Coming With Pre-Season 20 Patch 2.6.8 We're getting another Era reset with the new patch, as Nevalistis pointed out, which means the non-seasonal leaderboards are getting a wipe as well! This is very close to the last era reset which happened with patch 2.6.7 aka Season 19, and is a much shorter duration than the usual year-ish period they tend to last. Apparently the reasoning behind it is the big balance changes coming.

We still don't have exact dates for the patch or the Season, with a high probability of a week in-between them as well, but we do know last season started 12 days after the one before it ended. Diablo III D3 1 comment Yesterday at 07:48 by Starym

Encrypted Shadowlands Alpha Build 9.0.1.33411 Blizzard has shipped an encrypted build for Shadowlands Alpha, meaning it cannot be datamined just yet, but we're getting really close to the F&F Alpha announcement.  World of Warcraft WoW Yesterday at 03:10 by Stan

Patch 8.3 Hotfixes: February 19th We've had small hotfixes before, but these may just be a contender for shortest ever! World of Warcraft WoW 1 comment Yesterday at 01:33 by Starym

WoW Shadowlands Alpha Added to Battle.net Catalog We have some news on the much awaited Shadowlands alpha, as MMO Champion have noticed it's actually been added in the latest Battle.net catalog update! It's an encrypted build, however, so there won't be any datamining quite yet and it's most likely just some set up for when the actual Alpha starts, but it's definitely pointing in the "soon" direction! World of Warcraft WoW Yesterday at 01:28 by Starym

Ny'alotha Mythic WF Race, Conclusion: Top 10, N'Zoth Nerf, Limit Tank Goes to Method, Asia Upset and More The race for the top spots is done, even though there are plenty more guilds progressing on N'Zoth. The biggest news since we last checked in was that both the Corruption affixes and N'Zoth himself were nerfed, and according to the top guilds, when you add both nerfs together N'Zoth got a bit easier. He received a 5% overall nerf and the Thought Harvesters did as well, while the Corruption effect (mainly Echoing Void) nerfs only accounted for around 2-3% of Limit and Method's total damage, and that number significantly drops off for lower ranked guilds, as they won't have had as good gear (with the possible exception of some Asian guilds).

Two Mythic Mounts Now Drop Off Mythic Jaina and N'Zoth In the latest round of hotfixes, Blizzard increased the number of Mythic mounts that drop from BfA end bosses to two, meaning Jaina will drop two Glacial Tidestorms and N'Zoth two Ny'alotha Allseers, instead of just one.  World of Warcraft WoW 1 comment Feb 15, 2020 at 17:48 by Stan

Update on Diablo 4 February Blog - Possible Video Coming? We have some new info on the big Diablo 4 quarterly update blog that's coming soon, shared by Nevalistis over on reddit. We found out that the post is still scheduled to arrive in February and that it's very close to done, with localization and other technical details to be finished. It may not be much, but any D4 news is good news at this point, particularly the "assets" comment which might mean we get a new video to go with the update (or at least new screenshots)!
