"Diablo 3" Turns 3 on PC; Celebrates With Console Buffs

A Blizzard Post to the "Diablo 3" Forums, Indicate they are Looking at Re-Working the Game's Infernal Machine Events, Originally Intended as End-Game Content for the Action / RPG Sequel, as they are a Lot of Work for Little Payoff at this Point.




Word is:


"Right now there is a disparity between the footwork required to participate in the event and the reward for completing it so, we’re currently looking at our options to better align the two. We’re currently aiming to have a solution in place for the next major content patch but, of course as a work in progress that’s subject to change."




That Major Content Patch is to Come between Seasons 3 and 4 and this Post Reiterates they Expect the Season to Last at least 3 Months and they will Give 2 Weeks Notice before it Concludes (More Details are in this Recent Post). Finally, they Announce "Diablo 3 Anniversary Event Buffs" from Today through May 21 to Celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of the Game. Oddly, these Buffs are Only for the Console Editions. Even More Oddly None of them are 3 Yet, as the 3rd Anniversary of the Previous-Gen Versions will be September 2016 and the 3rd Anniversary of the Current-Gen Versions will be August 2017. Meanwhile, the PC Edition, which Seems to be Ignored by the Celebration, was Released Exactly 3 Years Ago Today.
