Resurrected

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Classic Expansion Resurrected Patch Multiplayer Single Player Hardcore Ladder Ladder (D2R) Difficulty Diablo II: Resurrected was released on Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox One on September 23, 2021. Is a separate game, not an expansion to Diablo II. It must be purchased separately from the legacy version and separately on each platform. Players can create both Classic and Expansion characters. Unless stated otherwise, all content of this wiki is valid for the current patch of the Expansion. Some differences between the Expansion and Resurrected are outlined below. Besides improved graphics, D2R introduced some Quality of Life improvements, some of which can be toggled off, and plenty of bugfixes. Subsequent patches added some new content. Ladders have not been part of the original release of the game and were added later. Game modes Offline This is the "single player" experience. Character and shared stash saved are stored client-side. One can use cheating tools to modify the saves or install game mods. The "offline" part refers to the location of the saves (client-side) and the inability to play with other players. In order to play Offline mode, one still needs to connect to the Battle.net servers every 30 days. Online This is the "Closed Battle.net" experience. Saves are stored server-side. The other multiplayer game modes, such as Open Battle.net, TCP/IP or modded realms are not available in D2R. This change made it impossible to use hacked characters in multiplayer, but at the same time killed multiplayer mods. D2R servers are completely separate from original Battle.net, and one cannot play on them with the legacy Diablo II or vice versa. There are 3 regions available: Americas, Europe and Asia, but unlike in the predecessor, in D2R online saves are global. Players can freely switch regions for better latency, without losing progress. [1] There is no cross-play between different platforms, although there is cross-progression (online saves are synced between platforms). Trading between platforms is possible for players who own D2R on multiple platforms, or they can mediate trades between those who do not. Quality of Life Gold can be picked up by simply moving over it. The Windows version can be played via game controller instead of mouse and keyboard. Using game controller skill selection is much easier than via mouse and keyboard. Item The Stash now contains 4 tabs, the first tab is the individual stash of each character, the three other tabs are shared between all Expansion characters on an account (although separately for SC/HC and NLD/LD). Stash size is 10x10. Items and Rune Words that were ladder-only in LoD are available in single player and non-ladder games. New Rune Words; initially ladder-only; later some were made non-ladder [2] [3] All LoD runewords are now non-ladder; some can be made in additional bases. [4] New unique charms.
