March Mini-Expansion Announcement Timeline

I have noticed a significant FPS drop past days being in some common maps, even no actions is performed and I am solo. One of them is Riverway. It was about 50-60 before and 25-30 now. Also, being in party I was able to act in boss places although it was ~15, but now, with 1 to 5 FPS, it is impossible to do anything. Just enter the area and die, enter and die... Level 80? It seems unreachable to me, I shudder every time once I think of playing hardcore.

I'm confused.. how is this game getting a mini-expansion when the promised 4th act hasn't even been released yet?

This mini-expansion is just a patch that add more content then usual.
The "promised" 4th act is planned for the end of the year.
I don't remember any different timeline.

wasn't it originally suppose to be released at the same time that the game left beta?

thsi sounds like a problem with your pc. Have you changed anyting or have any virus or malware running on it?

Quite like the idea that some have posted about the 3 month leagues.

3,6,9,12 Would fit the year well, but that's only from a surface view. It could be more harmful to those who wish to grind out to get the ideal gear to finish the league with, as in not the top 100 players but wish to reach the same level of gear progress as those in the top tier.

I don't mind either at the end of the day, but the suggestion could be quite a good fitting for the years to come. But it could require more effort on GGG's part to manage an extra league per year with different fundamentals. I'm sure they came up with 4 months for good reason and thought of the 3 months, maybe an official reply could be nice to the idea of a 3 month league.

That was the end of Act 3, including Dominus boss, that was released when the game left beta.


A4 won't be until end of this year, early next year, and that hasn't changed.


Do a little research next time.

GGG,
I would like to propose my love to you.
I love you.

Oh yeah! Bring it on baby!

The very same hardware, software (avast included) and internet link. This so-called "problem" first appeared straight after servers reboot. Well, I will survive this miserable nonsense with FPS drop and wish GGG bursts out with infinite amount of cosmetics. Hail to the king, baby!

I like Diablo 2. It is able to run flawlessly on anything, even my wristwatch and Casio calculator can run it. XD

actually act3x was suppose to come out right after open beta.. Not at release. The 4th act was suppose to coincide with the game being released. It was said many times but I'm not going to try and 'research' it on a forum with broken search engine. The devs might of buried it by now but it was common knowledge during cb that the full release would have the 4th act. Any additional acts were to be considered expansions.
