more likely an extreme outlier. 4th fastest player made 6 hours later. Also 2nd place seems to be an outlier aswell (1h later)
1st 9:06pm (3h06m)
2nd 10:09pm (4h09m)
3rd 01:37am (7h37m)
4th 03:07am (9h07m)

Most likely the first 2 had parties feeding legendaries to them.

You dont need legendaries everywhere. I can imagine with just one/two powerful item (manald ring or lut socks). You can even use all 13 green legendaries but without single setboni.

Wudjo finished as 6th player. His "legendary" the thrill mission had 4 legs and rest were yellow and finished in 6min (season14). Few days later it became the hardest Challenge Rift, only 15 player were able to do that in time.

yes quite a few classes can do it with a few uniques and full crafted yellows. Its showed up in challenge rifts fairly commonly. For a class with a good haedrigs set and a fast power curve 6 hrs is doable every season and isn't surprising at all. 3 hrs is very fast, but I mean... thats modern d3 (and I like it a lot, although I am sitting this season out)

6h is doable?!?!?. The list above was about EU, similiar in US.
1st: 3h17m
2nd: 5h14m
3nd: 8h17m
4th: 8h36m
So only 4 player made within 6h. Maybe 30 people, EU and US combined, made in 10h.
I remember when I got that notification, I was leveling my char to lvl40^^ (I needed 2h30m for lvl1-70).

The 4 people that made it within 6 hrs were people who focused there whole first night gameplay on getting that challenge. Very few people do that. Most people are using their haedrig set and do that conquest relatively later. I don’t think it’s reasonable to compare anything to total player base. And obviously there is a huge amount of variance in the power curve based on rapidly getting key uniques. It’s basically achievable for almost anyone to clear a GR 70 in 6 hrs I think to unlock primal if you are rushing normal progression. (Again with good haedrig set caveat)

First event on the Blizzcon Main Stage after Opening Ceremonies is a Diablo event: https://blizzcon.com/en-us/schedule#fri-nov-2

New game possibly?

It's quite obvious by now that new game is coming.
I just hope that it's full-blown game. No mobile, console, remaster or whatever. Give me Diablo 4.

It feels too soon for a whole new game, D3 only really kicked off after RoS. If anything I would say new expansion or DLC.

With how much of a joke themed seasons are anything is more likely for me than D3 stuff.
RoS is also already 4 years old.

BlizzCon 2018 is almost here and we’ve seen a lot of rumors flying around about our plans for Diablo at the show. These are very exciting times—we currently have multiple teams working on different Diablo projects and we can’t wait to tell you all about them . . . when the time is right.

We know what many of you are hoping for and we can only say that “good things come to those who wait,” but evil things often take longer. We appreciate your patience as our teams work tirelessly to create nightmarish experiences worthy of the Lord of Terror.

While we won’t be ready to announce all of our projects, we do intend to share some Diablo-related news with you at the show.

November 2 will be an especially diabolical date—not only is it the first day of BlizzCon, it’s also when Diablo III arrives on the Nintendo Switch. If you’re planning to pick up the game (the digital download will be available starting at midnight on launch day) and are joining us in Anaheim, be sure to bring your console. We’d love to slay some demons with you on the show floor.

Again, we want to thank you for your patience and support. We are eternally grateful to you and the millions of other Diablo fans around the world whose passion for this franchise inspires us and keeps our fires burning.

We’ll see you in hell . . . and at BlizzCon!

No D4 this year. Worst case is D3 on switch and a Netflix show. Comic got cancelled and the new book release date was moved.

Blizzcon looking rather bleak this year, as diablo was supposed to carry the show. Community was hyping up a D4 announcement with the diablo panel directly after the opening ceremony. Perhaps somethings went wrong at the last hour.

I was hoping for the druid announcement and a new act maybe or a least a few new dungeons/áreas on the current map.

But with the announcement on the bnet client today I strongly believe diablo mobile or something like that will be announced and that D3 on Switch will be heavilly focussed on.
