Update: Gestern Vormittag haben die Entwickler von Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls die bereits vor einigen Wochen veröffentlichten Patchnotes zu der derzeit laufenden geschlossenen Betaphase von Patch 2.6.0 erneut aktualisiert und auf diese Weise dann eine Reihe von neuen Einträgen diese Übersicht hinzugefügt. Aus diesem Grund listen diese Patchnotes jetzt beispielsweise die Fähigkeiten des Totenbeschwörers, die Sets für diese neue Klasse und mehrere andere Änderungen aus diesem kommenden Update auf. Wer sich diese aktualisierte Übersicht selbst durchlesen möchte, der findet die aktuelle Version der Patchnotes weiter unten im Originalartikel.
Originalartikel:
In der vergangenen Nacht haben die Entwickler von Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls nun endlich die bereits in der vergangenen Woche durch einen Blogeintrag angekündigte geschlossene Beta für den in Patch 2.6.0 enthaltenen Totenbeschwörer gestartet und gleichzeitig damit dann logischerweise auch eine erste Welle an Testern für die Teilnahme an dieser einige Zeit lang laufenden Testphase freigeschaltet. Diese von Blizzard Entertainment ausgewählten Tester können sich bei Interesse nun über ihren Launcher auf den Betaserver einloggen und dort dann unter anderem die verschiedenen Fähigkeiten des Totenbeschwörers, die neuen Herausforderungsportale, zwei neue Zonen und einige weitere Inhalte aus Patch 2.6.0 bereits vor ihrer Veröffentlichung ausprobieren.
Zusätzlich dazu veröffentlichten die Entwickler dieses Action-Rollenspiels freundlicherweise auch noch einen Blogeintrag mit den Patchnotes zu dieser geschlossenen Beta auf ihrer offiziellen Communityseite, die selbstverständlich auch in diesem Fall wieder ganz genau auflisten, was für Neuerungen bisher eigentlich in diesem kommenden Update enthalten sind. Vermutlich werden die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment diese Übersicht in den nächsten Wochen immer weiter aktualisieren und zusätzliche Punkte wie beispielsweise Änderungen an den spielbaren Klassen oder Anpassungen am Totenbeschwörer hinzufügen.
Wer sich nun gerne selbst für die Teilnahme an dieser Beta anmelden möchte, der findet hier weitere Informationen zu dieser Testphase und dem Auswahlverfahren der Entwi.
Bitte beachtet, dass nur eingeladene Spieler am Betatest für den Totenbeschwörer teilnehmen können, damit wir konzentriertes Feedback und eine reibungslose Testerfahrung sicherstellen können. Lest bitte diesen Blogeintrag für Informationen zur Teilnahme.
