Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Developer Q&A

Over at diabloiii.net there is a transcript of a reddit AMA where the Diablo 3 developers answered some questions on what they have been working on. With the new patch having recently gone out theres been a bit to discuss.

Under discussion are General and UI, Crafting, Kanai’s Cube, Bounties and Rifts, Story
