Any ETA on1.13, week..... months.... year?

Within 1 month?
Within 3 months?
Within 6 months?
Within 1 year?

Any blue wanna elaborate on the process of making this patch?

My guess would be:

1.) Read through the suggesion post. (1 week?)
2.) Form a dev meeting to see what will make it into 1.13 (1 week?)
3.) Start programming the patch. (2 weeks?)
4.) Bug test (1 week?)
5.) Launch


So my guess, 5 weeks?

The new patches usually are accompanied with a ladder reset, read above.

I'm back. That means I'm a noob all over again! Bah.

I also think the new patch will be, when there is a new ladder reset. And that might be in June or July. Probably the patch will come a few weeks earlier, because then they can see, how it works and can get some feedback of the players. Another good idea would be, to start a test-realm, so they can see, how the patch really works. And can get some feedback of the community. That would be, in opinion a very very good idea.

I'd have to say this summer or around October or November at the very latest. I do expect it for this summer (around August I'd presume).

What can I say... I can't wait to buy Diablo III, thanks a lot for making it Blizzard.

Hrm, well I wouldn't expect an ETA to be given. Development time on this patch is going to be tight, but regardless of how much time is spent on development alone, the testing could toss it back and forth for an indeterminate amount of time. Such is the fact of development and release.

Not that anyone's going to read this, and not like it makes a difference now to the 72 page thread in the suggestion forum, but it seems the text describing the patch was misunderstood by some. Underlining 'content' seemed to give some the impression that we are purely looking for suggestions to add a new act, or a new dungeon, or that there wouldn't be any changes that one wouldn't consider 'content' such as fixing bugs. That wasn't the intent. A content patch is simply a description for a patch that is a major release, and not a patch that only makes minor corrections, fixes and tweaks. That doesn't mean that those corrections, fixes, and tweaks aren't also what we were looking for though.

The ambiguity therein of what that means specifically to the bugs and content you all have in your noggins makes the head swim, but that's about as well as I can put it without promising one thing or another.

Are one of those people that would fly to Mars, hold the only life form found there hostage, call Earth, demand interplanetary aid on the threat of building interplanetary firecrackers, get the money and build them anyway, all the while planning to put that little bug under a magnifying glass to see if you could get it to sizzle? Then demand more money before you sneeze on it.

I am easily confused though :).

Bashiok,
Why was the beta ladder taken away? It was the only thing to do while we waited. This saddens me deeply :(

Instead of an expected patch release, is there a date in which we could see possible changes, or have access to the test realm to begin testing (other than soon)?
