Patch 2.4.2 in One Minute

Major Patch Changes

Patch 2.4.2 focuses on balancing the six classes' power, improve gameplay and build variety towards the end-game, and change the somewhat stagnant Greater Rift group meta. New Powers are being added to existing Legendary items and new Torment difficulties will be available too.

Also the devs did a pass on gold gains, how crowd control affects enemies and a few other Adventure Mode tweaks. Season 7 - starting on Friday, August 5th - brings changes to the Season Journey and its conquests, and also tweaks at how to earn the Haedrig's Gifts.

There is NO maintenance scheduled for deployment of Patch 2.4.2. In fact, PTR was still up as of 20 mins. ago.

Indeed. However S7 is still starting on Friday, so that would leave only Wednesday or Thursday to deploy the patch, and it would be the first time they do so. Either way, it doesn't change much to be honest - most players come back for the start of a season tbh and pre-season time is used for some testing, arranging inventory and getting up to date with the latest builds/info.

Never understood that. I don't play season, but why "organize inventory" to begin with? If you're not a season player, every single item is worthless, you can basically wipe your stash and it wouldn't have any affect. Every nice item you find "for later" is lost, everything. Even paragons.

Was wondering if its worth coming back from s6.

99% of my playtime is barbarian.

With no changes being made to any sets and wastes sets being one of the weaker sets ( EQ , IK, Raekor all worked better until I stopped playing 6 weeks ago ) , there seems to be little to no incentive to play ? Yeah a cache tab, how could I forget ? ....

Thanks for letting us know about this. We're working to solve all the issues (mostly missing Sets) with the Builder asap, before S7 begins.

S7 is the equivalent of what Wod did to warcraft.

Nah, WoD provided new content, that content just sucked. S7 doesn't provide any new content at all.
