Following up on Neal Wojahn’s Lightning Talk from earlier, we have the next installment from the suite of talks given at BlizzCon 2016. Senior Software Engineer Kenneth Williams, in his talk titled “No Downtime in Diablo III”, went into behind-the-scenes details on servers and how the client-server relationship works. Of particular note, one of the things that was marveled at by the community when it first happened was Diablo III gaining the ability to be patched without requiring maintenance downtime for deployment. If you’re curious about that and other fun facts, watch the video below.

As previously mentioned, many of these talks will be trickling out over the next few weeks. Check back often as we get more of these posted for you!
