2.1 Releases Tomorrow! Patch 2.1 Roundup!

With the 2.1 patch now up on their patch servers, and Blizzard just updating the breaking news confirming that the patch is tomorrow - it looks like it is time for the great 2.1 roundup!

Also don't forget to be ready for 2.1 with the latest builds! Our tool is already up to date with the 2.1 abilities and runes, so you can start making new builds right away to share!

New Systems

Patch 2.1 offers multiple new systems: Seasons, Greater Rifts, and Leaderboards. Click the banners below to get more detailed information!

Items

This Patch brings many new items with it, mostly related to the new Systems - Seasons and Greater Rifts - but also some pieces available in the old game modes. Many existing Legendary items have also been changed, Kudos to Bagstone who has been collecting information on those. Hit either of the banners below to find out more.

Balancing

There are also many balancing changes coming with Patch 2.1. Some of them are general combat changes which affect all classes but of course, every class gets some of its skills and runes changed, too. Read up on the most important changes to your favorite class by clicking the banner below!

Other

2.1 also brings multiple minor changes, among them two new Zones, adjustments to Nephalem Rifts and the UI. Learn more by clicking the banner.

with that blue post like 14 hours ago... I'm going to be severely disappointed if seasons don't start with 2.1 tomorrow D=

I completely get it if that's the best way to do it, but to not tell anyone until a day before the patch? Lame.

Seriously doubt it. One of the streams said they hoped to bring 2.1 features to PS4 "soon after" PC, and that they hope that patches would "eventually be simultaneous". Wouldn't be surprised if it was at least a couple of weeks.

Season 1 Launches Friday, August 29

Greetings, nephalem!

We're pleased to announce that our first Diablo III Season is scheduled to begin this Friday, August 29th. To ensure the roll-out process goes as smoothly as possible for all players, we're planning both a delayed and staggered release, with different gameplay regions launching the season at different times after patch 2.1.0 ships.

For reference, below are the current launch times for Season 1:

Asia: 9:00 a.m. PDT (1:00 a.m. KST, UTC +9)
Europe: 12:00 p.m. PDT (9:00 p.m. CEST, UTC +2)
Americas: 6:00 p.m. PDT (UTC -10)

For time zone assistance, visit: http://everytimezone.com/
To learn more about Seasons, visit: http://bit.ly/1rBFf9D

Please note that these times are tentative and subject to change. If they do, we will be sure to update this thread.

Thanks!

That is only for Battle.net. If you go into the Launcher, right to Diablo 3, and read it's listed time, it is down til 1pm PDT (4pm EDT), which is exactly when that timer above is for.

Any chance I will be able to revert some class set item transmogs that I foolishly transmogged in the belief that Blizzard would actually allow me to transmog back?
