Read More: When is Diablo 3 Season 26? – Global Community Lead for Diablo, Adam \u2018PezRadar\u2019 Fletcher, writes in a March 24 blog post \u201clast week [March 14], we had some extended downtime for D2R which was to implement the final batch of changes from our PTR to our production environments. During this update, we unfortunately ran into quite a few showstoppers that did not appear on PTR but were present in production environments. \u201cDue to that, we extended the maintenance as we needed to roll back the changes so we didn\u2019t affect users and could get the game back up and running\u2026 Since last week\u2019s maintenance, the team has been able to identify and address all these issues\u2014we will be doing another maintenance for D2R to implement these changes to production on March 29. We expect downtime to be around six hours for these changes.\u201d Concluding \u201cwith that maintenance, we should be good to go for getting 2.4 out to users. 2.4 is currently planned for an April 14 release\u2014Ladder will follow two weeks later on April 28,\u201d he clarifies \u201cWe purposely want to have a gap between the 2.4 launch and the Ladder launch in order to give the team time to react to any further unforeseen issues that may arise on PC and consoles from deploying the 2.4 patch itself and ensure the smoothest possible Ladder Season 1 start.\u201d Here is an update on where we are with 2.4\/Ladder with D2R. It hasn’t been the smoothest journey but we go into more detail regarding the issues in this post and I’m happy we are able to provide some solid dates for release and ladder launch.https:\/\/t.co\/MX5gu3wkaV \u2014 Adam Fletcher (@PezRadar) March 24, 2022 Despite obvious disappointment over the delay, responses have been widely positive. \u201cSo hyped for this!\u201d writes one fan, with another commenting \u201cPeople are gonna be upset with the decision, but the transparency is what\u2019s key here.\u201d \u201cIgnore any hate. You all are making the right calls to support the player base going forward. Thanks again for listening to the community and making commonly requested changes,\u201d reads one final response. So, as the Ladder finally crawls out of the shadows and allows competitive players to scratch that itch, it\u2019ll be interesting to see how the devs have transformed this classic system into something fresh and modern. Until then, be sure to get into demon slaying mode; the hordes await!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
