Thanks for confirming. Sadly I don't play realm so I'll wait for next patch before getting back into it.

Kinda stuck on trying to get some endgame gear farming Duncraig and Fauztinville endlessly before taking on labs seriously. That patch was a glimpse of light.

Sin war only.


Where did you read that ? I can't see in the post that it is exclusively on TSW. Headline makes it sound like so though.

However, it doesn't seem to clarify if it's ladder only since non-ladder is on the realm too. Perhaps a mod can clarify?


To add to this, it was clarified on discord, as well in the discord announcement that it is realm-only. I assume non-ladder is included but I don't really know.

It was mentioned on discord that 1.8 will be longer than a normal season but exactly how long was not stated. 2.0 will maybe be much as 3.5-4 months away from 1.8 launch.

It's a realm patch, so non-ladder is included.

This patch is not like the usual patches, it's a filler patch, much smaller than the average one, and mainly focused on entertainment and replayability rather than balance and new core content too. Its main aim is to offer an interesting spin while work on 2.0 goes forward.

When 2.0 will be here, does all Sigma character from 1.X version will be wasted or still playable ?

When I was little I used to play a lot of Baldur's Gate. We lived in a middle of forest and every day I walk through there I used to fear that Goblins (or trolls) are gonna get me.
So too afraid for this patch.

Then again I always get tired of realm once I hit 130+ ubers. Hyped for 2.0 though, amazing work, keep it up!

Right now is too soon to draw a line but, with the sheer number of big and small scale changes involved, there is certainly the possibility for 1.x characters to become incompatible with 2.x
Anyway it's a premature discussion to have at this time. Enjoy 1.8 ^^
