The release date of D2R PTR 2.4 is January 13, 2022.
This is a Database/Server Update. The focus of the first PTR will revolve around fixing database issues and making the online environment more robust and flexible under high-volume conditions. This test will be imperative, as it will assist D2R in stabilizing the gameplay experience ahead of the implementation of Ladder rank play.
To help D2R test these database changes, D2R encourage players to play and log in and out A LOT. Furthermore, it would be helpful if players could creator characters of different types (Hardcore, Classic, etc.). This will assist D2R in gauging the fix on our end. D2R will be providing players with level 99 characters for their first journey in the public test realm.
