Diablo 4 Dev Tracker

Joining in for a good ol’ Wave!

We always have, we just don’t reply to every post. The PTR is to allow the community to test features and content coming in Season 4, due to the sweeping nature and complexity of these changes.

Great suggestion, moved it up

The PTR build is not linked to retail, and nothing from retail will carry over. There is detailed information available in the PTR forum and the blog.

It’s not mandatory, but we highly encourage those playing the PTR to share feedback so that we can determine what changes are needed.

Adding one additional one:

• Altars of Lilith may not appear on your Map after boosting and unlocking all the Altar rewards from the boost.

Me? Cause chaos? Surely you jest!

Wonder what will happen if we both post here at the same time

Hello!

That is going to be corrected, just not able to skip immediately at PTR launch

April 2 | PTR Update

• When creating a new character, players will now have the option to Skip Campaign, this will enable the PTR Boost NPC in Kyovashad.

Hello -

We wanted to provide a note regarding Campaign Skip functionality in PTR and how it will work.

When PTR begins, you will need to complete the Prologue of the game before the Boost NPC will appear in town. The NPC will allow you to skip the campaign along with all the other boosts.

The team is working on a possible client patch to remove the need to playthrough the Prologue, but this won’t be available right at the start of the PTR.

That’s just Adam, we can’t stop him! PTR is today, and has not been delayed

Hi all,

As we prepare for the start of the first Diablo IV PTR (Public Test Realm), we want to remind everyone what PTR is and what are some of the larger known issues that you may experience in this testing period. PTR allows players to check out and provide feedback on some of the content coming to Diablo IV in the near future.

Due to PTR being a preview of upcoming content, please note that many things are still in the early stages, and we have identified several notable ones in the list below. You should expect to see some less polish in a PTR from what you see in the final release, and that is totally normal. We can assure you that these items will be addressed before the start of the new season along with other smaller items that may not be listed below.

We are looking forward to the feedback the Diablo IV community provides throughout this PTR process, and we are thrilled to have everyone jump into the big changes coming to Season 4.

Temper...

Change is coming, wanderer. Do you dare immerse yourself in what lies ahead for all of Sanctuary?

The first Public Test Realm (PTR) for Diablo IV is on the horizon, offering you the chance to test upcoming changes and features for Season 4! PTR will be available from April 2 through April 9 for players with a PC Battle.net account.

The purpose of the PTR is to test updates and features alongside you before the launch of Season 4. Then we’ll take your feedback from PTR to make adjustments to Season 4 before it goes live for everyone.

For an in-depth overview and the PTR patch notes, please see our blog post ...

The forums are important to us, and we’re not leaving them

Meant to reply to this earlier. Had the tab open!

Stored Aspects will be moved to the Codex of Power for your Eternal character seamlessly when the season ends. It will take the highest of each Aspect that you may have collected into the new Codex.

So, let’s say you have an Aspect in your stash on your Eternal character and Season 4 begins, the Aspect will be automatically added to your codex and Aspect item will be destroyed.

But let’s say you had a max roll of that same Aspect from your season 4 character’s stash, it will then seamlessly replace your lower roll Aspect in Eternal and forever be in your Eternal codex that way.

Just a small caveat is that this happens automatically for anything in your account stash when the season transition occurs. If you have them in a specific alt character’s inventory, you will need to just hop on them after the Season rollover and those will then seamlessly move to the Codex as well.

The seasonal codex does r...

For some added context, the way it works is that there will be two options now. One is a Standard zoomed feature which is how it is presently in the game. The other will be a Far feature which is what some noticed yesterday.

Some platforms like PC (but not Steam Deck) will default to the Far zoomed out feature. There will be a new option in the menu to change this to Standard as well. Steam Deck can also change it, but I just want to note their default is the Standard zoom.

Consoles will also have these two options as well.

The team did some extra checks on performance for this as this does increase draw distance and add some more things on the screen. If players experience any performance related items during PTR, please let us know in the PTR forums when those open up. It is important for us to make sure we get that in.
