With the PTR testing of patch 2.4 done, developer Blizzard Entertainment released this massive update for the remaster Diablo II: Resurrected. Patch 2.4 marks the first change to class balance for the game since March 2010 and the arrival of ranked season.
The developers have also introduced a number of updates impacting a multitude of gameplay elements and systems, updated item tooltips, introduced new Rune Words, Horadric Cube Recipes and more.
“The Ladder launch represents an optional ranked competitive system of the game through a series of modes available to select from with a fresh Ladder-specific character. Each mode will have their own leaderboard where players compete to strategically gain experience within a limited timeframe while having access to Ladder-specific content. When the Ladder season ends, leaderboard rankings will reset, transitioning characters to non-ladder mode, giving players an opportunity to store their hard-earned treasured loot as a new Ladder season awaits them.”
