Will the community buff be active still?

This is my guess as well. I suspect it will be the same as S4 start, where we had no buff while leveling to test normal performance.


This is correct. As in the past, we'll continue to activate and deactivate community buffs based on testing needs. Once we get the data we're looking for on leveling, we may reactivate the buff to facilitate testing other aspects of the game.

Neva, will you wipe non season as well? Everything?


Wanted to double check to confirm this before I answered. Yes, this will be a full wipe, though you will be able to copy over your live characters as always if you don't plan on testing Season 4. Going to update the announcement thread with that clarification.

I've seen plenty of conjecture that we're prioritizing the 1-70 experience over the level 70 experience. This is not the case, we know a lot of your time is spent at 70 and there will be plenty of adjustments and tweaks in the upcoming PTR patch that are of interest to max level players.

However, the 1-70 experience is valuable for many players, from those who are new to the game to those that enjoy the fresh start of a Season. Many of the changes we've implemented, including those made to crafting and upgrading non-Legendary gems, are intended to make the leveling process feel more smooth. That deserves testing too, especially without mitigating circumstances.
