Patch 2.4 is set to release sometime on April 14th.

This leaderboard is essentially going to become a seasonal thing depending on how much they plan to patch D2R in the future.

Submissions will be allowed as long as there is no game breaking issues with the patch. The 2.4 category itself might not be ready until sometime afterwards, but we will still allow people to submit runs that are on a 2.4 patch when the category shows "2.4" in the "submit run" part.

We will be archiving 2.3 runs for now and for the foreseeable future, it's unlikely that we will be able to run using old patches so it'll be archive unless there is further development there.

What to expect for the leaderboard in 2.4?

• P1/PX/P8 will remain on the same leaderboard, but there is room for future discussion on changing this if enough runs are submit and if enough people want things separated.
• HC/SC will remain on the same leaderboard, however if you submit a SC time that is slower than your HC time the SC time will become obsolete (hidden) and vice versa. This gives people who choose to play only one core the option to compete against the other core.
• 100% category will be added for normal/hell to give people some variety in speedrunning.
• Submission guidelines for runs will be made clearer and to some extent submission rules will become a bit more lenient.
• Patching may require some runs to be removed depending on how significant the change is. But this is most likely only going to be for extreme cases.

I'm going to try and start working on fixing up the guides/resources with some of the advanced strategies that not many people are familiar with when it comes to map/tile reading specifically. As well as /pX guides. I'm hoping to create both a written and video guide that should be complete sometime during May.

(Also thank you to Indrek for helping out with preparing the leaderboards)

Happy Speedrunning!

Kano asked if I can help with some technical aspects of speedrun.com and I sure can.

Here's what I did: • All runs from before 2.4 are now in "1.0 to 2.3.1" • Added 2.4 patch variable • Built the 100% category • SC/HC runs obsolete each other • Renamed "Kill Baal" to "Any% Baal" • Separated PX, P1, P8 in Any% Baal category

This man is a legend^

Also after some internal discussion with the mod team we have decided to split PX/P1/P8 for the "Kill Baal" category only. Depending on how Classic and 100% perform, we may consider splitting these up in the future as well. P8 is still up in the air seeing as we only had 1 P8 submission since D2R release.

Good work, happy to see it :)

Thx for the change. Wondering any chance to setup co-op in d2lod?

Yes, I will setup co-op for d2lod as well. I need some time to build a script to sort out the d2lod data.
