It is time. Season 21 is LIVE! 🔥🔥 https://t.co/7kG2rTHcu0

Thank you all for the greetings and questions. I’m lucky to have joined during this time with the Diablo 4 Quarterly update, a new Diablo 3 season and the 20th anniversary celebration for Diablo 2. This gives me a ton of content diversity to dive into, which covers a range of context, thoughts and opinions on what matters to many of the players in the community.

In the most immediate time-frame, I’ll be spending a chunk of my time here in a variety of threads (big and small) to not only listen and share with our team here, but to also chime in. So thank you all for the time spent in all the posts

We have a platform-wide hotfix being implemented later today related to the Necromancer class. We want to share that this hotfix will not cause any disruption for any end users, does not require patch updating and will move the version to 2.6.9a.

7/1- Fixed an issue where the Necromancer’s Simulacrums may stop casting their abilities under certain circumstances.

Could you provide us with some more info about your Diablo experience? Mostly with Diablo I and Diablo II, for how long did you play those two games?

I played solo plays of both Diablo 1 & 2 of my favorite classes. I’m taking time now to enjoy and explore end-game and other aspects of what the community enjoys about it. In terms Diablo 3 I played when it first launched, took occasional breaks and returned for the launch of seasonal content.

and it would be nice if our feedback will be pass to devs by someone who knows what was wrong with Diablo III.

Agree 100%. In my experience it has helped me to bridge conversations with both players and devs by knowing the game in and out - so im going to do the same here!

It’s a good thing that you are a fighter, some of the people on the forum will drive you crazy.
Can you fill us in, what do you have planned for the forum?

I’ll be chiming in to the forums to share news, gather feedback, learn more about our players/community and be your voice to the dev team. There’s a lot more to add and i’ll use our time together to share

I hope you enjoy your time with us, and can pass along some of the good feedback to the Devs.
I look forward to the new blood on the team and wish you all the best in your new position.

Thanks so much for this! Looking forward to everything ahead.

Welcome! Hope the bridge you provide between us and the devs can create better implementations to games so we can enjoy them more.

Yes. This actually encapsulates what I love to do as a community manager and aim to do here. I hope your as excited as I am!

to spy on us … -)

I’ll be here to share (updates, notes, etc), listen and keep the conversation going. I’m looking forward to the adventure ahead with you.

Welcome
Good luck playing S21 also.

Really looking forward to playing and gathering feedback!

Welcome to the community!

Thanks for the welcome!

Dark Souls eh? Those games made me cry hard… So many rage quits. LOL

oh yea! - I can still taste the tears and hear cries today (w/ mine included).

I’m glad to see someone who will play something next season on d3, and especially not a FotM class like monk.

I’m looking to play some DH and Necro this season but I’m always open to experimenting with any class.

Can you share with us if you will be working more on D3 or D4 (or D:I I guess) compared to your colleague PezRadar ? Or both equally on each game ?

Like PezRadar, ill be working across the board on the Diablo franchise. So as news, updates and posts come up, I’ll be there.

Hi everyone - Happy to be here and share a little bit about me! I spent much of my life playing games at the arcade, internet café or home with the family. My role here is a dream come true as games have been there for me as a form of expression, platform for competition, way to meet life-long friends and now a career. I believe that we all share a love for Diablo, so let’s work together to make our home a great place filled with discussions, ideas, opinions and passion.

Here’s a few random facts about me:

1. I once got penalized in a fighting game tournament as a no-show/late as I lost track of time playing Diablo 2 at the neighbor internet café. I returned to the tournament to win the whole thing!
2. Played a CM Wiz when Diablo 3 first came out and my fingers still cramp up from how hard I mashed my keyboard.
3. I’m looking to juggle a few classes in the next season of Diablo 3: Necro, Demon Hunter, Monk
4. Lucky to have worked on franchises such as TEKKEN, Soulcalibur, Killer Instinct, Dark Souls, PAC-MAN and more
5. Outside of video games, I love Muay Thai, hot yoga, mangos and potato chips.

Hi everyone!

As you know, we have been making efforts to grow our Diablo Community team here at Blizzard and I wanted to introduce our newest Community Manager to the team, FilthieRich! He joined us last week and it took a bit to get some things turned on during these work from home times, but he will be joining myself in actively taking part in discussions and more. We still will be growing the Diablo Community Team here so hopefully we have some additional new faces to introduce in the coming months!

Welcome to Hell Rich!
