I expect it to create a bit of a shift in build/class opportunities for players. The team has some ideas on this and we will be sharing that soon. Players found some of the TZ content to be easy but we also can determine what characters played on PTR who offered that specific feedback and we noticed a lot of this came from Hammerdin players.

Players were noticing some zones were kind of not great for Terror Zones so expect some to be moved out and some others be moved in. We are going to see if we can fit something in the existing timeline for right now, but if we can’t we may use some of the buffer between Patch 2.5 hitting and Season 2 starting to ensure we can get some additional game time from players on some of the Terror Zone items. Extending PTR to continue to test and iterate will of course hold those two dates back. We are running up against some scheduling timelines and want to make sure we can get 2.5 out the door sooner rather than later and get Season 2 kicked off for ladder. There may be another iteration of PTR as the team wants to implement some items based off of the feedback but that is still being determined. The team was spending the last week going through the survey information and community reports from PTR.

But wanted to provide a few updates here. Hey all - Apologies for the silence on the PTR front.
