Welcome to the PTR Feedback forum! Please use this forum to discuss the latest game changes available on the Diablo III public test realm.

Community forums work best when participants treat their fellow posters with respect and courtesy, so we ask that you take the time to read through the forum Code of Conduct and Guidelines before posting.

Code of Conduct: http://us.battle.net/en/community/conduct
Posting Guidelines: https://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/19288910345?page=1#2

Important Reminders:

Search
The search function at the top of the community site is extremely effective and robust. Before you create a new forum topic, please be use it to search for similar topics, blog posts, or web pages that may contain the answer for which you are looking. Making a new thread on an existing subject can result in your thread being deleted or, if you continue to re-post the same content, the loss of your forum privileges for spamming.

Rating
The forum rating system can be used to promote positive discussion, demote unhelpful comments, and even report posts that violate the forum Code of Conduct. By hovering over a post you'll be presented with several options, including a "thumbs up" (Like) and a "thumbs down" (Dislike) icon.

Clicking the "thumbs up" icon will rate the post up. If enough people like a post, it will gain a Highly Rated status and appear at the top of related search results. Highly Rated posts will also have a highlighted background. Clicking the "thumbs down" icon will expand a drop-down menu which will include "Dislike," "Trolling, "Spam" and "Report" options. "Dislike" will rate the post down. If enough people dislike a post, it will be darkened, and with a lot of dislikes it will be hidden completely. You can also quickly report a post as trolling or spam, or use the report function to fill out a more comprehensive description of a violation.

Please note that you can only rate each post once. Use your power wisely to help foster a positive and helpful forum community.

Guidelines

In addition to the forum Code of Conduct (http://us.battle.net/en/community/conduct), here are some common courtesy guidelines to follow. While these do technically fall within the bounds of the Code of Conduct, they cover more specific examples of common errors that will lead to thread deletions or posting privileges being revoked.

  • The Diablo III forums are for discussion of topics directly related to Diablo III.
    The forums here are specifically to discuss the games and related topics. Any topics not related to Diablo III, Battle.net, or Blizzard Entertainment are subject to deletion.

  • Don't post in all capital letters, use a misleading title, excessive punctuation, and/or non-standard symbols, etc.
    While everyone wants their posts read, we ask you to refrain from using these types of tactics in order to bring more people to your thread. Let your post stand on its own merit. Threads violating this guideline are subject to deletion.

  • Using the words "Blizzard," "Blue," or any community team members' names in a thread topic is frowned upon.
    Everyone would like Blizzard to read and acknowledge his or her post, and we understand that; however, use of such words in the subject line does not help that come to pass. Please make your thread title relevant to the post subject. Threads violating this guideline are subject to deletion.

  • Posting "First" or IBTL ("in before lock") constitutes as spamming.
    You will be suspended if you create a post that is intended to call out that you achieved a specific reply number in a thread. This is considered spamming. Posting IBTL ("in before the lock") is not helpful, and if you feel a thread should be moderated please use the rating button to do so.

  • Do not "bump" posts.
    The act of posting simply to bump a thread is considered spamming. This also includes bumping very old threads for no reason (called "necro bumping" or "necroing").

  • Petition posts are frowned upon.
    These are discussion forums and, as such, we ask that you hold discussions. Creating a thread to ask for replies as votes is not a discussion. Threads violating this guideline are subject to deletion.

  • Do not post about locked or deleted threads.
    Posts that are moderated have a reason behind the moderation. It's up to you to read the forum Code of Conduct and these guidelines to determine what you did wrong, learn from your mistake, and attempt to post again without breaking any rules.
