Diablo IV Gets One More Playtest Weekend in May, Server Slam, and a New Ashava Reward to Earn
The Diablo IV team spent time analyzing beta weekend data and responding to community feedback on a number of features, promising a list of changes that will be in the final launch build.
Yet, after a teasing response from the official Diablo account hinted at the possibility of another public test, it is now officially scheduled for next month. The new test, Server Slam, will happen on May 13-14th and is exactly what it sounds like. Not only are they looking for players to come on board on all platforms to stress test the servers, but there are a couple of changes from the March beta build to notice.

Since the new Server Slam build will only let you reach level 20 max, it will be extra important to get your strategies together, unite with other players, test those servers, and try to take her down. If you can manage to do this with one of your level 20 characters, you can earn a newly-announced special reward, the Cry of Ashava Mount Trophy.
Ashava will appear beginning on May 13th at 9 AM PDT and every three hours after that through her final spawn at 9 AM PDT on May 14th.
In addition to the level cap, there are other changes from the beta weekends. Once you hit 20 you’ll stop earning XP but you can still play, slay demons, and earn some gear. None of that will carry over, so an alt might be appealing. All characters will start fresh, and you’ll have access to Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue, and Sorcerer to take through the prologue and Act I.
