Terror Zones

2PIKA4MQD92M1663713894010.png

The journey to level 99 is a celebrated experience for players and quite the milestone if achieved—a rite of passage, even. We want the journey to level 99 to be accessible to a larger population of players, offer more variety other than repeatedly farming Baal, Diablo, and Nihlathak, and most importantly, remain challenging. This is where Terror Zones come in. As we get into details, please note that players can choose to opt-out of Terror Zones if desired.

To unlock the Terror Zones feature, you must defeat Baal per character, per difficulty using any expansion character—existing characters that have already fulfilled the requirements will automatically have this feature unlocked. Once Ladder Season Two begins, players will need to meet the aforementioned requirements to unlock Terror Zones for their new ladder characters.

When playing a Terror Zone-enabled game, every hour, diabolical tremors infused with the Lord of Destruction’s unwavering corruption creep into specific zones, emboldening the monsters within, and terrorizing them. The monsters in these zones will be at least two levels higher than your current level or their original level, up to a maximum per difficulty. The experience received and the loot dropped by killing a terrorized monster will be based on this new level—terrorized monsters will also grant additional experience points.

Here are the level details for each monster type per difficulty:

Normal

  • Standard Monsters: +2 player level up to 45
  • Champion: +4 player level up to 47
  • Unique: +5 player level up to 48

Nightmare

  • Standard Monsters: +2 player level up to 71
  • Champion: +4 player level up to 73
  • Unique: +5 player level up to 74

Hell

  • Standard Monsters: +2 player level up to 96
  • Champion: +4 player level up to 98
  • Unique: +5 player level up to 99

The base player level used for the above calculations are taken from the creator of the game. If the host leaves the game, a new player will be selected for the base once the next Terror Zone is announced. Terror Zone monsters will spawn at their new modified level or their original level, whichever is higher. Upon entering a Terror Zone-enabled game, you'll be informed of the current terrorized areas through a message sent to you via the Chat Box. When the time for new terrorized zones draws near, you will be informed of the impending changes via the Chat Box.

In addition, you will be informed that you’re entering a terrorized area by several indicators:

  • Unique iconography next to a terrorized monster's name
  • On-screen text and messaging
  • Special audio cue
  • In-game text on the auto-map
  • Unique environmental lighting
  • Ember visual effects

Waypoints have also received some changes to assist in locating the current Terror Zone:

  • An icon will display on the Waypoint menu next to the Waypoint that is closest to the current Terror Zone.
  • The Waypoint closest to the current Terror Zone will have its name displayed in a purple font.

Ladder Season Two

GQPE8M1GDXHF1663713895771.png

Our first Ladder Season for Diablo II: Resurrected has been an absolute success—adept heroes raced to save Sanctuary, some cementing their name on the leaderboard, but all of them striking fear into the tormented hearts of their demonic adversaries in the process.

Ladder Season Two will begin on October 6, ushering in a new opportunity for brave heroes to race to level 99 and amass powerful loot along the way. This will also be the first Ladder Season with Terror Zones! Can you handle the increased ferocity of the Burning Hells, or will you perish under their amplified might? We cannot wait to see how Terror Zones will influence the leaderboard, or hopefully, allow new players the opportunity to see their name on it for the first time.

Ladder Season Two Launch Timing:

North America

October 6, 5:00 p.m. PDT

Europe

October 7, 2:00 a.m. CEST

Asia

October 7, 9:00 a.m. KST

We’ll also introduce six new Sundering Charms with Ladder Season Two, more information about these can be found in the next section.

As it was with the previous season, Ladder Season Two will feature four different modes:

Version Description
Pre-Expansion Ladder The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses playing only with the original four acts.
Pre-Expansion Hardcore Ladder The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses playing only with the original four acts.
Ladder The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses playing five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content.
Hardcore Ladder The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses playing five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content.

For those new to Ladder Seasons, you might be wondering what happens to your Shared Stash loot once the current season ends.

0OII55NW4L061663713895050.png

Once Ladder Season One ends, all Ladder characters will be transferred to their respective non-ladder group. All items in that character group's shared stash go into a new Withdraw Only set of Shared Stash tabs, denoted by a check marked Past box. You will have all of Ladder Season Two to withdraw any items you would like to keep. When Ladder Season Two ends, this withdraw only set of stash tabs will be overridden with any items in the Ladder Season Two Shared Stash. Be sure to get any items out before then or they will be forever lost!

New Sundering Charms

1BG0K6S6MTDG1663713894958.png

In Hell difficulty, many monsters receive resistance to specific damage types. If their resistance increases above 100%, that monster is then immune to a specific damage type. Because there are only a handful of ways to reduce a monster’s immunity, only a minute portion of hero builds can successfully farm all zones in Diablo II: Resurrected. We realize that this can create scenarios where certain builds are unable to take full advantage of the current Terror Zone, thus missing out on the experience gains, and most importantly, the fun of these zones.

To promote increased class build diversity, we have introduced six Sundering Charms that allow the player to break specific monster immunity types while the charm is in their inventory. Once Ladder Season Two begins on October 6, Sundering Charms will be a possible drop for new Ladder characters. These new unique charms will only drop from Terrorized monsters of Champion, Unique, Superunique, or Boss difficulty.

You’ll notice a new keyword below called Sunder. This keyword means that if a monster has immunity to a specific damage type, their resistance will be reduced to 95% regardless of what their starting resistance percentage was—breaking their immunity and allowing damage of that type to be dealt to them. Sunder is applied before other resistance reducing modifiers and only affects non-players. There is one tradeoff that comes with the Sundering Charms: while they reduce a monster’s resistance, they also reduce your resistance to the same element, allowing you to receive more damage of that type. The specific percent that your resistance is reduced by the Sundering Charm will vary per charm, so look out for the charms offering the most advantageous percentages to maximize your build. Any abilities granted by a Sundering Charm will also extend to your pets and summons, so keep that in mind as you upgrade your character.

The Black Cleft

  • Monster Magic Immunity is Sundered
  • Magic Resist –45% to -65%

The Bone Break

  • Monster Physical Immunity is Sundered
  • Physical Damage Received Increased by 10% to 30%

The Cold Rupture

  • Monster Cold Immunity is Sundered
  • Cold Resist –70% to -90%

The Crack of the Heavens

  • Monster Lightning Immunity is Sundered
  • Lightning Resist –70% to -90%

The Flame Rift

  • Monster Fire Immunity is Sundered
  • Fire Resist –70% to -90%

The Rotting Fissure

  • Monster Poison Immunity is Sundered
  • Poison Resist –70% to -90%

Developer’s Note: We have heard much of the community's thoughts on how the new Sunder Charms work with the sorceresses Cold Mastery ability. Looking at the percentage of monsters that are cold immune, the trade-offs of having to gain and equip a new grand charm, and re-checking our damage output, we feel the current behavior of Cold Mastery is not significantly more powerful than many of the other abilities affected by Sunder and does not need to change at this time.

Modding

We have made some changes to enhance the offline single-player modding experience. While these changes will cause compatibility issues for current offline single-player mods, they will allow for further customization options for mod developers.

  • Added a new file: LevelGroups.txt. This file allows levels to be grouped together for the purpose of condensing Terror Zones messages.
  • Added a new file: hirelingdesc.txt. This file defines hireling data specific to the monsterclass but not the hireling statblock. Currently it only controls voice type.

  • New AI parameters have been added to the mercenary's AI for the purpose of removing hardcoding. See monai.txt for details.

  • Fixed a crash on controller when using new player skills that are listed after the vanilla skills.

monstats.txt

  • "TreasureClass1", "TreasureClass1(N)", "TreasureClass1(H)" -> "TreasureClass", "TreasureClass(N)", "TreasureClass(H)"
  • "TreasureClass2", "TreasureClass2(N)", "TreasureClass2(H)" -> "TreasureClassChamp", "TreasureClassChamp(N)", "TreasureClassChamp(H)"
  • "TreasureClass3", "TreasureClass3(N)", "TreasureClass3(H)" -> "TreasureClassUnique", "TreasureClassUnique(N)", "TreasureClassUnique(H)"
  • "TreasureClass4", "TreasureClass4(N)", "TreasureClass4(H)" -> "TreasureClassQuest", "TreasureClassQuest(N)", "TreasureClassQuest(H)"
  • "TreasureClassDesecrated", "TreasureClassChampDesecrated", "TreasureClassUniqueDesecrated"
  • "TreasureClassDesecrated(N)", "TreasureClassChampDesecrated(N)", "TreasureClassUniqueDesecrated(N)"
  • "TreasureClassDesecrated(H)", "TreasureClassChampDesecrated(H)", "TreasureClassUniqueDesecrated(H)"

skills.txt

  • "passivestat7", "passivecalc7", "passivestat8", "passivecalc8", "passivestat9", "passivecalc9", "passivestat10", "passivecalc10"

SuperUniques.txt

  • "TC Desecrated"
  • "TC(N) Desecrated"
  • "TC(H) Desecrated"

TreasureClassEx.txt

  • "ladder"

Save Data Changes

Some changes to save data have been made in "ItemStatCost.txt". If an existing single player mod has edited these values, then their mod's saves may become corrupted when migrating old saves to the new save version. It is recommended to create backups of existing saves before loading them.

  1. "damageresist" and "magicresist"
    1. Save Bits: 8 -> 9
    2. Save Add: 0 -> 200
  2. "fireresist", "lightresist", "coldresist", and "poisonresist"
    1. Save Bits: 8 -> 9
    2. Save Add: 50 -> 200

Text File Column Changes

Developers of existing offline single player mods can remake their changes with the new data, or they can add the new columns before merging.

levels.txt

  • "LevelGroup"

monstats.txt

  • "CannotDesecrate"
  • "NoShldBlock" -> "ShieldBlockOverride"

skillsdesc.txt

  • "hireableiconcel"

soundenviron.txt

  • "InheritEnvrionment"

      Blizzard have detailed everything about the sixth ladder season of D2:R, with the new addition coming on the 22nd! We have regional launch times, the different modes, and an explanation on what happens to shared stash items for seasonal character after it ends, so let's take a look.
      Season 6 (Source)
      The lords of Hell await your return, traveler.
      Countless demons have met their timely demise at the end of your weapon, yet their onslaught doesn’t relent. Sanctuary needs its savior! Return on February 22 to wreak havoc among the Burning Hells’ ranks in Ladder Season 6!
      Ladder Season 6
      Our previous Ladder Seasons for Diablo II: Resurrected have showed just how adept adventurers were at saving Sanctuary, racing to be the first to cement their names on the Leaderboard, while striking fear into the tormented hearts of their demonic adversaries in the process.
      Ladder Season 6 will usher in a fresh opportunity for brave adventurers to race to Level 99 and amass powerful loot along the way.
      Ladder Season 6 Launch Timing:
      North America February 22, 05:00 p.m. PST
      Europe February 22, 02:00 p.m. CET
      Asia February 23, 10:00 a.m. KST
      As with previous seasons, Ladder Season 6 will feature different modes:
      Version Description Pre-Expansion Ladder The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses only the original four acts. Pre-Expansion Hardcore Ladder The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses only the original four acts. Ladder The standard version of Ladder play that encompasses five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content. Hardcore Ladder The hardcore (only one life) version of Ladder play that encompasses five acts, as it includes the “Lord of Destruction” expansion content. For those new to Ladder Seasons, you might be wondering what happens to your Shared Stash loot once the current season ends.

      Once Ladder Season 5 ends, all Ladder characters will be transferred to their respective non-ladder group. All items in that character group's Shared Stash go into a new Withdraw Only set of Shared Stash tabs, denoted by a check marked Past box. Any items from Ladder Season 4 stored in the Withdraw Only tabs will be lost at this time. You will have all of Ladder Season 6 to withdraw any items you would like to keep from Season 5. When Ladder Season 6 ends, this withdraw only set of Stash Tabs will be overridden with any items in the Ladder Season 6 Shared Stash. Be sure to get any items out before then or they will be forever lost!
      May your Ladder race be filled with fiends to eviscerate and bountiful loot.

      From December 12 through January 3, the 22 Nights of Terror holiday event will be available in Diablo II: Resurrected.
      (Source)
      The air stirs with whimsey, perhaps even magic, adventurer.
      However subtle, a joyous invocation permeates Sanctuary, casting a ray of holiday celebration upon its inhabitants. . . or is this demonic trickery? This magic from beyond is not cause for a ceasefire in the unremitting conflict between demon and mortal, but its nuances can still be felt, disturbances are surely lurking about. Seeing this holiday miracle through to the end relies on you—sleigh your way through 22 Nights of Terror during the Diablo II: Resurrected holiday event.
      Experience Daily Demonic Trickery
      The magic constantly shifts day by day but remains pervasive in nature—even Sanctuary’s most esteemed scribes are unable to predict what abnormalities the future might hold.
      From December 12, 11:00 a.m.–January 3, 11:00 a.m. PST the fabric of Sanctuary will be altered every 24 hours, revealing a new gameplay modifier via the in-game Message of the Day that will last for the next 24 hours. The 22 Nights of Terror holiday event can be enjoyed in all online game modes except for Classic Diablo II.
      Powerful loot, a dash of terror, and a new surprise to experience each day awaits you in Sanctuary this holiday season. Go forth in glory!
      Happy holidays!

      Once Ladder Season 4 ends, all Ladder characters will be transferred to their respective non-ladder group. All items in that character group's Shared Stash go into a new Withdraw Only set of Shared Stash tabs, denoted by a check marked Past box. Any items from Ladder Season 3 stored in the Withdraw Only tabs will be lost at this time. You will have all of Ladder Season 5 to withdraw any items you would like to keep from Season 4. When Ladder Season 5 ends, this withdraw only set of Stash Tabs will be overridden with any items in the Ladder Season 5 Shared Stash. Be sure to get any items out before then or they will be forever lost!
      May your Ladder race be filled with fiends to eviscerate and bountiful loot.
