Ladder Season 15 and Patch 3.3

In spanish patch notes appears Obsession instead of Mania. What do you think?

That seems like a mistake. Obsession is already available to make on non-ladder (since patch 2.6, season 3, 3.5 years ago).

Oh Blizzard,oh Blizzard, why hath thou forsaken us? To deprive us of updated versions of

Bloodletter,

Pluckeye, and Blinkbat, and other items we almost never use. What are we to do? This ought to motivate everyone to signup for Ladder season 15?

Interesting: They are changing items (mostly low level) for ladder only...
And if you have a bunch of Statues or Shards on NL, I think you should keep them and try to get some more until the patch is released

I hope they don't reduce the shard drop rate too much. First time ever I have been playing a bunch of P8. Why? Because of

Terror Zones and cheap shards. A bit of a new challenge for me that adds some new fun.

I can just create a public game, shard all or most of the zones, and get people to join, and for the most part people don't try to overlap in your farming area because every act has good places to farm.

Every now and then there is still a situation where someone races in to try to snipe a

Herald kill drop, but it's much rarer than before when P8 games were just everyone racing to kill

Baal within 2 minutes then rinse and repeat.

Also, with cheaper shards, it's harder for PKers to pounce in games that are terrorized as it's easier for players to just decommit from the game. Which - Blizz should change this, you should have to accept a duel, or at minimum have to go back to town before you can be PK'd
