Diablo 2: Resurrected has launched a public test realm for the upcoming 2.5 patch that boasts an all-new “experimental” feature: Terror Zones.
As well as a “variety of bug fixes to address feedback the community has provided” Blizzard, Terror Zones see you take up monsters at least two levels higher than you (or their original level) for extra XP and loot in the hope we’ll stop “repeatedly farming” Baal, Diablo, or Nihlathak.
“The journey to level 99 is a celebrated experience for players and quite the milestone if achieved – a rite of passage, even,” Blizzard explains in the patch notes. “We want to offer an alternative to repeatedly farming Baal, Diablo, or Nihlathak. We also want the journey to level 99 to be accessible to a larger population of players, full of variety, and most importantly, 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.
