Ladder Only Rune Words, Unique Items, and Horadric Cube Recipes that were restricted to Ladder rank play will be included in non-ladder multiplayer and single-player play in Diablo 2: Resurrected. A new patch will be released prior to Open Beta. Check out the official patch notes for more information.

Hi all,

Over the last week, we have seen much speculation and reactions from the community around the subject of Ladder play releasing post-launch. We wanted to take this opportunity to share that Ladder Only Rune Words, Unique Items, and Horadric Cube Recipes that were once restricted to Ladder rank play will now for the first time be included in non-ladder multiplayer and single player play.

We understand these items complement prominent builds and playstyles cherished by the community. Furthermore, we have heard the community ask to include these items into the single player experience for quite some time. Now players playing solo can also partake in the metas that have become popularized from the original multiplayer Ladder experience. Furthermore, single player will now also include access to the Pandemonium Event and Uber Diablo content.

To mitigate server impact and protect server stability of the game during the launch window, we plan to have Ladder rankings and listings to be implemented shortly after launch. This will enable players to have a fair chance to partake in the race that comes with the first season’s Ladder for Diablo II: Resurrected and not run into any possible launch window stability issues that could impede that experience. Once we have a more precise gauge on this front, we’ll notify the community of the exact date and time in September.

We hope this provides clarity on our intentions with the Ladder and related systems at launch. We look forward to sharing the Ladder start times with the community. Once we have it locked in, we’ll provide early enough notice so players can make the appropriate accommodations for their race to.

Thank you.

PATCH NOTES

A new patch is being staged for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation prior to the Open Beta. Read below to learn more about the latest changes.

To share your feedback, please post in the Diablo II: Resurrected Beta forum.

PLEASE NOTE: Diablo II: Resurrected is still in-development. This is a Beta version of our game which is still undergoing testing and iteration before its official release.‎‎‎

FUNCTIONALITY CHANGES

GENERAL

  • Skill purchases now require separate button presses‎

Developer Comment 

We made this change because many players were accidentally allotting points to skills they didn’t intend to. We hope this change will mitigate that issue, especially since it’s more difficult for players to re-spec in Diablo II.

I could be just pedantic. I see the words: "single player" and "solo" but I don't see the word "offline" at all (reminds me of the Diablo 4 wording) Does this mean all the items are still restricted to onlline/battle.net sessions only? 

I connect to EU from Africa. While Diablo 3 works wonders thanks to better netcode, having played in the last beta Diablo 2 still feels iffy. It's still overall playable, just nowhere near fluid enough for ladder level competitive play or pvp. 

Not complaining, just wanting clarification.

Singleplayer is already an offline mode in D2. All save files are saved on your computer.

I know.

The blue post is about ladder items being made available in non-ladder multiplayer and single player. That wasn't all very clear to me as I played both beta weekends solo, in a sense that's also single player except I have to connect and play on the bnet server.

So it's still unclear to me whether or not the offline, local save single player mode will have ladder items.

      Hello all
      Happy New Year!
      We just wanted to provide a quick update on D2R and D3 timing for upcoming seasons and updates as we have seen a plethora of questions regarding timing for these.
      For D2R, we are expecting ladder reset for S3 to begin sometime in mid-February. We will share more specifics on the date with the community in the coming weeks.
      For D3, players can expect PTR for the next update to come toward the tail end of January. We will have notes that will be available on our blog a little prior to that.
      Hope this offers a bit more clarity and helps with timing and scheduling for those wanting to jump in right at the start.

      Blizzard have just released a new trailer for D2R, and we get to see the cinematic version of big red himself! The trailer features scenes from the act cinematics we haven't seen yet and it looks pretty great!
      We also heard about the official launch time for the game earlier, albeit for the US, but we're presuming that it will in fact be a global launch - meaning the game is coming 8 AM PDT/11 AM EST/5 PM CEST, as per Rod Ferguson, the Executive Producer of the Diablo franchise:
