We experienced an issue where a good swath of stashes did not convert correctly. Due to that, we extended the maintenance as we needed to roll back the changes so we didn’t affect users and could get the game back up and running. During this update, we unfortunately ran into quite a few showstoppers that did not appear on PTR but were present in production environments. Last week, we had some extended downtime for D2R which was to implement the final batch of changes from our PTR to our production environments. Over the last few months, the team has been implementing these updates to the server and database using learnings from PTR (Public Test Realm) and from the immense help the community provided during these testing phases. So, what happened here? As you may recall, we have been working through extensive updates on the backend and database services for the game. But we did want to explain some of the circumstances that lead to this adjustment in dates and at the same time provide you with updates on the new expected release of 2.4 and the start of Ladder to ensure players have enough time to plan for the race that occurs with the start of each Ladder season.
HERO EDITOR DIABLO 2 RUNEWORDS UPDATE
I know your first reaction may be “HERE WE GO AGAIN!” which everyone has every right to say as getting this update perfected for Ladder has been quite a journey.

Originally, we planned to have this update out by the end of this month, but unfortunately ran into some snags. First, we just wanted to thank everyone for the feedback and testing over the last several weeks as we honed in on various database, server, and balance changes that will be arriving with this update for D2R (Diablo 2: Resurrected).
HERO EDITOR DIABLO 2 RUNEWORDS PATCH
We wanted to provide an update to the Diablo community regarding the latest on the 2.4 balance changes patch and our very first Ladder season. The current plan is to release Patch 2.4 on April 14 and the Ladder on April 28, 2022. Unfortunately, the team ran into some issues that are outlined below. The original plan was to release the 2.4 update by the end of this month. “Plague” and “Pattern” Rune Words previously existed in data but were never enabled, so we made some additional tweaks, and they are finally now availa ble to be used in game.īlizzard posted an update on Patch 2.4 and the very first Ladder season in Diablo 2! The balance patch will go live on April 14 and Ladder will follow two weeks later on April 28.
