The brand new testing period for Diablo 2: Resurrected landed with Patch 2.5 some days ago and with it, an all-new "experimental" feature called Terror Zones and you should definitely try it out.
Before anything, we need to assure you that you can opt out of Terror Zones if you want, so don’t worry is not an obligatory feature. So, let’s say that you are on the journey to level 99 and well, it is taking you a while to hit it. Blizzard thought that maybe instead of repeatedly farming Baal, Diablo, or Nihlathak you can use a more challenging and interesting option, that is where Terror Zones come in.
When you play a Terror Zone-enabled game, every hour, the armies of the Burning Hells will focus their demonic might on specific zones, terrorizing them. The monsters in these zones will be at least two levels higher than your current level or their original level, up to a maximum per difficulty.
If you beat all the enemies the experience received and the loot dropped by killing a terrorized monster will be based on this new level. In addition, terrorized monsters will also grant additional experience points. Fun, right?
Ok, but how?
You must be wondering how you enable this mode, well, just need to enter a Terror Zone-enabled game, and then you'll be informed of the current terrorized areas through a message sent to you via the Chat Box.
As we said before each monster are at least two levels higher than your current level, so in case you are wondering, this are the level details for each type per difficulty:
Normal
- Base: +2 levels up to level 45
- Champion: +4 levels up to level 47
- Unique: +5 levels up to level 48
Nightmare
- Base: +2 levels up to level 71
- Champion: +4 levels up to level 73
- Unique: +5 levels up to level 74
Hell
- Base: +2 levels up to level 96
- Champion: +4 levels up to level 98
- Unique: +5 levels up to level 99
Now, the base player level used for the above calculations is taken from the creator of the game. If by any chance the host leaves the game, a new player will be selected for the base, also note that not all the zones can become terrorized during the PTR so we will leave the complete list below:
