Diablo-3

Copious amounts of time off? Clearly you will be playing as much as you can. But which games?

Welcome back to The Queue, where I am your host while Adam is out of town this week. Today we have a surprising number of questions about a certain Mr. Fox Van Allen, and since we’d hate to make you wait, let’s get right to answering them.

If you're rushing to meet your goals in Diablo 3's Season 2 before it ends on April 5th, you're in luck because a new XP bonus will help you get there.

After keeping players guessing about the end of Season 1, Diablo devs had promised to give at least two weeks warning before Season 2 ends. And, good to their word, they not only announced when Season 2 will conclude, but also threw in the Season 3 start date.

Of course I would. And one of the things I've learned in playing D3 with my wife is, ranged players will get you killed. No, really. They don't pay attention to the battlefield, they gleefully drag you face first through every pack in existence, it is a constant series of terrifying moments playing with one of them.

My first hardcore seasonal from Season 1 had died to Malthael at level 64 on Master difficulty.

The Public Test Realm isn't set up yet, but the Diablo team is offering a sneak peek at the upcoming 2.2.0 patch. In addition to the usual class balance tweaks, new legendary items and sets are being introduced to further diversify class gameplay builds. One special legendary was built by the D3 community through the BlizzCon Legendary Workshop, though it hasn't been named just yet.

Diablo III's second season is set to begin today at the following listed times.

Senior Technical Game Designer Wyatt Cheng and Don Vu, Associate Game Designer are joined by Game Designer Travis Day on the Diablo Twitch stream on Tuesday, February 10 at 11:00am Pacific to look back at Season 1 and look ahead to future Seasons.

Diablo 3's second season will start on Friday, February 13th.
