　　The developer explained that each mode will have its own leaderboard where players compete to gain EXP within a limited timeframe, while also having access to Ladder-specific content. Afterwards, when the Ladder season ends, leaderboard rankings will reset, moving characters to non-ladder mode.

　　It was noted that once a season ends, players will have until the start of the season after next (for example, from when season one ends until season three begins) to retrieve items from their seasonal Ladder and bring them to normal online play.

　　In addition, Blizzard is tweaking how Uber Diablo spawns by making it so when the threshold is met by selling enough Stone of Jordan rings, Uber Diablo will spawn for everyone in the same region, not only those on the same server instance.

　　As usual, a number of general changes have also been made to classes, including some buffs to the Amazon's physical damage per level over its multiple abilities, while Druid's Hurricane skill requirement for Armageddon has been removed. The full list of class changes can be found on Blizzard's website, while an excerpt of the patch notes can be viewed below.
