On a more happy note, we will announce 2017 release date in the next 1-2 days :)



I think it's worth a lot to him. It probably made him happy and will remind any of his friends that play of the times they spent together.

That makes it worth it.

I just think it was great that he was aware he would be tributed before he passed away.

So we'll know the release date in 1-2 day, not it will release in -1,2 day.

Another set of features to make the game less documentation-dependant, is the implementation of "Challenge Scrolls".

But before you say "but Mavro - pearls of wisdom 2.0 ??", these are actually a bit different - since each scroll will drop at a part of the game where you are actually interested in said challenge - rather than finding useless uberquest locations in blood moor, like Pearls of Wisdom were. Additionally, these scrolls are more readable and straight to the point.

As an example, you will find LC1 scroll from Diablo, at which point you are likely around levels 40-42.

Some screenshots:

As far as Black Road Challenge goes, each trial recipe will provide you with a scroll containing the information for the next trial. For a new player, it will be much more exciting to be guided by the game step by step, especially when they become stuck at Trial of Blood and want to throw their computer out of the window.

1 thing i noticed is now that LC2 is done by killing DP instead of tal rasha (feel like de ja vu, i forgot where was LC 2 in median 2008 before laz changed it into tal rasha instead)


now i wonder if there a method to communicate about cube recipe, even im myself tend to forget about it.

Maybe it will be more handy if you'll add also Act number/how-to-get-there info in location string, like it already done in docs. Some locations of ubers are too unused in clod so not everyone will know where to search them.
