Developer Blizzard Entertainment shared the preview of Diablo 3 update 2.7.5, coming to the PTR servers for testing on January 31st. The team invites players to try out the Rites of Sanctuary seasonal theme, Primordial Ashes feature, and changes to both Class Skills and items – and offer the invaluable feedback.
If you decide to participate in PTR-testing, make note that there may be periodic maintenances, outages, hotfixes, or minor patches. Additionally, the game will receive PTR-unique buffs active to help you on your journey: increased experience gains, and double Blood Shard drops. The focus of the PTR and testing are the skill changes to the Monk class and item changes for the Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard classes.
The team is also looking to gather feedback on the seasonal content around Rites of Sanctuary. Follow the link above to the preview to check out some PTR testing tips.
“For Season 28, Rites of Sanctuary, we’re travelling deep into the mysterious ruins of the Festering Woods. Amid a hunting expedition, citizens hailing from New Tristram stumbled across an ominous Altar carved from an archaic material bearing cryptic markings. Shaken to their core by the eldritch aroma of the monolith, they’ve enlisted the assistance of brave Nephalem willing to investigate this sinister discovery that was once left to time—the Altar of Rites.”
The Altar of Rites is a new feature coming to Diablo 3. Upon interacting with it, players will see 26 icons called Seals and three Legendary Potion Powers. After unlocking the first Seal, the order in which you unlock additional Seals and obtain their powers is entirely up to you. Check out the blog post to learn more about the new feature and see the full list of changes coming with Season 28.
