Battle.net is currently down for
Scheduled Game
Maintenance with the expectation that the service will return at around 4:00
pm EDT, bringing the new version 2.10 of Diablo III with it.
Blizzard warns
that though the patch is "only" 300 MB, but that the "applying patch" phase of
the update process may take up to 30 minutes. There is also a note saying
Login and
Connection Issues noted yesterday are fixed for when things return, and they
also
highlight a
known issue with Stormshields that will be addressed by a future patch. This
is a large patch bringing major changes, as outlined in
this post with
Cliff Notes [sic] on what's new and different, including all you need to know
about Greater Rifts, Seasons, Leaderboards, and more.
Word is the
first Diablo III Season begins on Friday.
