Diablo 3 Season 30 Theme & Content

This section will be updated once more info becomes available. Blizzard is currently testing the following content on the PTR:

Solo Self Found: This is a new single player mode with unique Leaderboards where you can create a character and play the latest seasonal content. A hardcore version of this mode is available as well. We heavily recommend players experience the PTR in this mode if they are seeking a more challenging experience. Read on for more information about Solo Self Found.
New Season Theme Testing: We're looking to gather feedback on the Visions of Enmity seasonal theme.
Class Balance: To ensure that the most significant class changes receive an ample amount of attention, we'd love for you to focus testing and feedback on the balance changes to the Crusader, Demon Hunter, and Witch Doctor class.
PTR-unique buffs will be active to help you on your journey: increased experience gains, and double Blood Shard drops. You can also buy new gear for testing from the special PTR vendor, Djank Mi'em, who will exchange Blood Shards for class-specific bags full of Legendary Items that we'd love for you to test!
