I made a thing: The Season Journey Tracker!
http://d3resource.com/journey/
Here's what it looks like in action:
Super simple concept - just as you doing the Season Journey click on a task to keep an overview of what you have done and what still needs to be done. The status is saved in a cookie. Pay attention to the in-game popups because you can complete many season journey objectives that aren't even visible yet, so this website might help you to keep an overview.

That is true, normal legendaries can indeed be changed retroactively (see Rimeheart and Furnace a long time ago). It's *different* from a technical viewpoint, but not impossible, so my "the technology isn't there yet" is more to be taken as a meme. After re-reading Nevalistis' post I actually realized that it leaves some room for interpretation, so maybe it's just also a deliberate decision to not tamper with existing items (anyone who has ever done coding knows that changing one variable can cause 10 others to break). Or maybe there's something in the implementation that truly makes certain changes more difficult (some of the items were semi-retroactively changed, like Dead Man's Legacy which looks like the new version but just with a lower roll).

I want to hear as many opinions as possible about this. I am rly disappointed with one specific thing in this patch and that is that existing versions of Primal items aren't changed/updated. I mean wtf people! I busted my ass to gather materials to craft Primal Karlei's Point for my DH and now it is shit bcs now it doesn't have dmg % like new version. In my opinion they could at least update Primal versions of items bcs they are not so easy to get. Things like this "help" this game to lose more and more players. I am rly rly disappointed with this.
Feel free to comment, maybe i don't see a bigger picture here but in my opinion this is bullshit.

Last season was also like 3 weeks due to necro pack. Not starting new season same time as Destiny 2 makes kidna sense, cos lots of d3 players gonna check Destiny 2 i think.
Locking leaderboards is very interesting move. I have some issues with the reasons they stated on official forums. My biggest bet is that they locked it to avoid whining from ns players that seasona players will come and jump into ns leaderboards. This makes no sense since seasonal players didn't get any adventage over ns players, so theres nothing that you could call "unfair". They should be locking leaderboards with the new patch, but new patch isn't yet live. Locking leaderboards also have one big downside, noone will be pushing so the issues that might appear with live leaderboards will be moved in time to when season starts. Good thing is that we will be starting new season withour really knowing what will be s12 best builds for all classes, sure there were ptr leaderboards but they really didnt show clear winners so this might be very exciting.

When does the actually patch go live ?
I can´t understand why they even " locked " the leaderboards now, when the patch isn´t even went live yet.
- I could understand that the " advantaged " for the new buffs etc. where here, and when the patch isn´t live, I think it crap. There is no reason for locking it now ?

10 Ramaladni's adds a socket to jewelry. 100 Ramaladni's to change a second prefix on an item.

Ramaladni's gifts are a great concept for the game. The one issue with them after playing the game for so long, is that there simply isn't a current need for having so many of them. I have 250+ at present, and I know of people with 500+. Lowering the drop rate would be unfair on those starting the game, but what I propose would give this item a currency by providing the gift with a secondary use. How about creating a new recipe and using, say 10 Ramaladni's to reverse an augmented piece of gear and therefore retrieving the legendary gem at the level it was used to augment the item? I am not sure whether this is a new idea but it's certainly one that I and a number of people that I have spoken to would welcome.

Don't be ridiculous. We all know what the most powerful thing in the Diablo universe is:
Doors.
Powerful heroes can one-shot the most gigantic and powerful of all demons. But doors? Nope, one hit isn't always sufficient, sometimes those nasty obstacles withstand the first impact and demand a second attack.
Experienced characters plow through hordes of monsters like there is no tomorrow. No matter the type, size, or fierceness of enemies: barely in sight of the player, enemies drop to the ground, giving up their precious loot obtained from the siege of Tristram's neighborhoods. Nothing can stop them - except for... doors. I have seen it with my own eyes, witch doctors and necromancers stop their high-paced hunt in front of a simple door, charging up their spells and waiting for magical powers to be ready before continuing their crusade.
Doors are unmatched in their might and power. To settle this debate, I call for an eyewitness from another universe who knows all too well about the power of doors.

It has nothing to do with time. It does not and will not. You can't proc procs, that was blizzards early philosophy. This was already acknowledged back in 2015 when legendary gems of launched.
I'm going back quite a way through the ol' memory banks, but I recall the issue is the duration of the Toxin effect. Hitting the enemy only poisons them for 10 seconds, so while a Jade empowered Soul Harvest could well consume the toxin effect too, it's only doing 10 seconds worth, not 300. The passive (Creeping Death) only extends the duration of Locust Swarm, Haunt and the damage buff from Piranhas. I think the same applied to Pain Enchancer, otherwise they could vastly outdamage the DoTs from Locust and Haunt.

Well if you go into necro solo and look at those with asian clan tags that cleared 110+ with skeletons for extra CDR and obsidian ring. I am willing to put money on you can ban those. The build is unplayable without D3helper or worse... and the 117 clear guy that was no1 had for weeks had so shitty gear/para that it would have been a joke for top200. (think he is no3 EU season now, but you can notice for yourself by inspecting, also notice lack of played hours)
I do know that some players burn 1000 keys to get solo top 20, but this guy burned some yens on his bot subscription..
I do think Blizz need to start new banwaves, ASAP.
If nothing else let them all buy new accounts, Blizz wins, and the honest players wins...and who cares about the botters and their emotions, apparently they dont play the game at all, but pay some software to do most the playing. Never understood the concept.
Necro relies heavy on CDR timing, both zdps and trag and pesti, so scripting and perfect casting of multiple spell does warrant results that are unachievable for even best humans. After all we do live in an age where AI beat both best chess players and also humans in poker, so do think its more than "likely". Proof is more or less on the bots forums, not going to link those and promote anything, but they are bragging a lot.

Just for info 2.6.1 is live on US, so hopefully coming later https://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/21115840

Well I hope you are right Demonmonger and "your facts" in pointing somewhere new and shiny, playing D1, D2 and sucking it up with D3 through all the fixes and Eras, just taught me to believe that it's actually not going anywhere quick. I wish they would charge us more for more content, I am sure we are many D3 players active or not, that actually would enjoy paying for regular new content. Not sure how the Blizz business model works, not sure if they know anymore either.

Yeah dream on nothing will come except some halfhearted january dungeon and eventually the necro and armor rack late 2017, which is fine.. but not really what the game needed.
Blizz and a few of the dedicated D3 players could have taken this game somwhere, but Blizz is a big machine and I guess pets, transmog and the occasional useless legendary gem is what the game has come to. Sure necro looks cool, but the armory is really stuff anyone with 1000 hours D3 woudl have implemented years ago for free.
I do enjoy the game, but Blizzard is fuck all passionate about it..we used to get weekend buffs and events.. now they dont even care to change anything for new seasons except a new portrait or pet. Stop dreaming its not a conspiracy to make something grand new and shiny, its just a big corporation, killing its game slowly while selling as many D3 copies on post like this.
