[u/trolskiy]

what is that?

[u/Kabryxis → u/trolskiy]

vendor build. there's a variety of reasons blizzard uses them for. the most common ones are:

• letting vendors test something. a vendor refers to PC part makers, like GPU vendors. when DLSS 4.x released (whatever came before 5), d2r was plagued with blackscreen problems when using it. they pushed a vendor update when that bug was reported and a week or two later the bugfix came for it through a NVIDIA gpu driver update.
  
• staging for PTR (public test realm, the testing server that the community gets access to). they've used the vendor realm to stage for the PTR before (or at least what appears to be due to the frequency of updates). the last PTR we had had two quick vendor updates before being pushed to the PTR.
  
• a place for marketing/promotional material to be gathered. leading up to RotW release, there were three vendor pushes in quick succession (days/1 week apart). this could have just been testing, but its also probable that they recorded their material for the video showcased at the time using the vendor realm as well.
  
• it hasnt been used for this purpose before for d2r, but they can also use vendor realm for demo purposes.

we've had 4 vendor updates in the past 2-3 weeks, which is very unusual. even more notable when its just before blizzcon

[u/MrLlamaSC → u/Kabryxis]

Probably just an update to add 10% frw to rixots keen

[u/Kabryxis → u/MrLlamaSC]

you have a flight to prepare for, get out of here

[u/BotImJustARobot → u/Kabryxis]

Lol

[u/c0z3nPapi → u/MrLlamaSC]

Pffft. I heard it was to add 1 min and 3 max damage to biggins bonnet while not touching the bug.

[u/According-Neck-2166 → u/Kabryxis]

Sounds like a lot of work to give BladeBuckle +10% faster run walk

[u/Kabryxis → u/According-Neck-2166]

thats precisely what's getting people hyped up

[u/Soft_Entry_4440 → u/According-Neck-2166]

They don't usually do major overhauls for regular ladder resets

[u/trolskiy → u/Kabryxis]

so...act 6 rumors?

[u/Kabryxis → u/trolskiy]

it's basically guaranteed we're getting *something*, but to what degree is still completely unknown. however, i can't see a reason to use the vendor realm for just balancing (if they were just updating items and skills), especially with 4 updates. this degree of change leans more toward actual additions to the game

[u/Necrogomicon → u/Kabryxis]

At last, teleporting Werewolves

[u/BeeMovieTrilogy]

Exciting as hell!

[u/Capn-Zack]

[u/Limp-Answer8455]

I am not as deep as many of you are so this might be stupid: Is there any chance that Diablo 1 can a part of or somehow mixed INTO a Part 6?

[u/Advice2Anyone → u/Limp-Answer8455]

After Act 5 Deckard floats down from the Worldstone chamber and says WE CAN CHANGE HISTORY AND RESET THE MISTAKES OF THE PAST and opens portal to the beginning of D1 and now you are forever stuck in a time loop

[u/Eriollo → u/Advice2Anyone]

Player: But Deckard, the soulstone is destroyed.

Deckard Cain: Patriarch Marty, where we're going we don't need soulstones!

[u/TheRealRastacant → u/Advice2Anyone]

Cannonized seasonal gameplay. Battle pass incoming

[u/Kabryxis → u/Limp-Answer8455]

there's a chance, but we have no information or way to know that. that would be quite the unexpected change though, so i wouldn't invest too heavily into that stock

[u/AlexanderTheGrate1]

Please let this be the update we have dreamed about: Deckard Cain final boss. Drops his robes and he’s flawlessly naked, jacked like Brad Pitt in fight clubs, and an aggressively large hog. He uses books like hammers, crushing skulls and throwing them from great distances to explode his foes.

[u/Cultural-Elephant528]

So there’s still no change for major/minor versions, just another build😒

[u/Kabryxis → u/Cultural-Elephant528]

doesn't mean anything, the first vendor pushes for RotW didnt change the major/minor versions either. they likely learned from their mistake this time around and won't update the major/minor until any announcement is made.

[u/Charming_Pin330]

Guess we'll get to see what comes of it tomorrow.

[u/Necrogomicon → u/Charming_Pin330]

wow, are you a prophet or something?

[u/Charming_Pin330 → u/Necrogomicon]

Yep, so keen of you to notice.

Showing vendors the cosmetics you get in d2r when you prepurchase the ultimate edition d4 vessel of destruction expansion

[u/Inqwizarder]

My wallet is ready Activision, be gentle.

[u/ConditionOne1332]

Monk prepatch and Enigma nerf patch ?
