PTR Hotfix Notes - June 26

This hotfix will be rolled out to all users by 1:00-2:00pm PDT

Game Updates

• Salvaging a Tier 1-3 Infernal Hordes Compass will now grant an Abyssal Scroll.
• Salvaging Tier 4+ Infernal Hordes Compasses will grant 1 extra Abyssal Scroll per Tier. (i.e. 6 Scrolls for Salvaging a Tier 8)
• Completing Nightmare Dungeons, opening Helltide Chests, and opening Whisper Caches now grant a guaranteed Infernal Hordes Compass.
  Developer’s Note: This for PTR specifically. We will be revisiting this for the Season release.

The team has decided to keep S5 PTR up. We will roll this hotfix out as things are live. Players will roll onto the new servers. Once everyone has rolled over, we will have hotfix notes up.

We are expecting downtime to begin around 11:00-11:30AM PDT today and last until about 1:00PM PDT.

This is indeed bugged. We found the issue after the reports. We will probably not adjust this in the PTR but please note that HP will be tweaked down for the Season 5 release.

Thanks for the reports.

Hello all -

We will be taking down the Season 5 PTR late tomorrow morning PDT to apply an update to address some items related to Infernal Compasses and Abyssal Scrolls.

We will have notes up in the morning. This will help out players that have reported some issues related to both of these items.

We expect this downtime to be pretty short and we will have an exact time on the downtime tomorrow morning.

Thanks again for jumping into PTR and providing feedback as we prep for Season 5.

Just putting a PSA out there that players should not use the boost on existing characters copied over to the PTR.

This will remove and replace their character state with the character boost and you will lose your character inventories and gear from your copied state.

We will look to improve this flow in the future.

Please only use the boost on fresh level 1 characters created on PTR.

It is something I will bring back to the team for future PTR seasons.

This is our first season with PTR character copy so we will look to make improvements to the flow in the future.

Boosting is a function for players who make a new character on PTR and need immediate gear and other items.

Boosting an existing character on PTR can replace many of those with the boosted components. It essentially replaces your character, items, etc with what we would give to a boost.

Hi all,

As we prepare for the Season 5 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 development, and we have identified several notable ones in the list below. You should expect to see less polish in a PTR from what you see in the final release, which is totally normal and expected. 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 the PTR, and we are thrilled to have everyone jump into the changes and content coming to Season 5.

HOTFIX 1 - June 20 - 1.4.3

BUG FIXES

• Fixed an issue where the Poison Nova from Andariel’s Visage was dealing damage around the player, even though the visual effect was around enemies.
• Fixed an issue where the Poison Nova from Andariel’s Visage was dealing less damage than intended.
• Fixed an issue where salvaging an item that had been Masterworked only once would not refund masterworking materials.
• Fixed an issue where Rapid Fire did not always fire the right amount of projectiles when both Scoundrel’s Kiss and the Repeating Aspect were equipped.

We have a fix for this and are going to be testing it tonight. Wednesday is a holiday in the US so we expect this to be out in a hotfix post holiday.

We also have a few other fixes in this hotfix that address some items reported from the mid-season update patch (1.4.3)

We are seeing some crashes come from the Holy Bolt Elixir power. For now, we are going to disable the power on this.

Players can still consume the elixir while this happening but we recommend to NOT use these as you will have no power associated with this.

We are investigating the crashes and will work on a fix ASAP.

Hello Wanderers

We first want to start by thanking everyone for jumping into Season 4 and experiencing the revamped systems introduced with Loot Reborn. We are also thrilled to see the excitement around Vessel of Hatred where we announced the release date of October 8th this past weekend at the Xbox Showcase. We are excited to share more as we head toward launch, and you all can expect more information on July 18 when we do a deep dive into the Spiritborn class coming with the expansion.

We want to take some time to provide some clarity and updates on a flurry of things heading to Diablo IV in the upcoming weeks.

The next update hitting Season 4 will be our mid-season patch. As you all know, mid-season patches include a ton of significant updates to the game related to class balance and more.

We will be releasing patch notes for the mid-season update (Patch 1.4.3) this coming Friday (June 14) and will be releasing the update sometime next...

We re-enabled this with the small client patch earlier today.
