What changed this season — and what still matters tonight.
Season 15Patch 3.2.4Updated 31 October 2026
Dated patch and hotfix notes that still change a login or a build choice. Primers hold the systems.
Blizzard posted on X on 28 October that Meat or Treat is live.
While it's on you'll run into Infernal Butchers and see more Treasure Goblins than usual. There are special shrines too. Blizzard also mentions deadly tricks, with a chance at rewards if you brave them.
There's no end date yet. Blizzard hasn't listed the rewards either.
3.2.4 is live on PC (Build 74043). Prime Evil Splinters now stack to 99 instead of 1. Blizzard's notes also list stability, visual and UI improvements. We haven't confirmed consoles yet. None of our builds change.
Blizzard says March of the Goblins ended earlier than planned, and the event's reputation board is no longer there. They posted on the forums just after midnight on 4 November, UK time.
They're looking into why it happened and say they'll follow up when they know more. There's no word yet on whether the board comes back.
Blizzard has put up a known issues list for the 3.3.0 PTR on its forums. These are bugs it knows about and plans to fix before 3.3.0 comes out.
Copying your character over from live to the PTR didn't work. Some of the new Horadric Items are off too. The Warlock's Flesh of Abaddon bonus may not kick in until you leave Demonform and go back in. Fulcrum of Mephis only turns slain enemies into Lesser Demons if you have the actual set bonus, not just the Horadric Item. The Paladin's bonus damage to Weakened enemies doesn't apply.
Two talisman sets aren't right yet. Song of the Old Mountain's 5-piece still gives the Druid's Petrify explosion 200% bonus damage, not the new 300%. Spellbound Steel's 5-piece doesn't boost Shadow Imbuement when Shadow Clone uses it.
In War Plans, alt characters may show no shared points until you change zone. The Merchant of Mystery can turn up below Torment, and the Lair of Runes node doesn't add any rune drops from Lair Bosses.
All of this is PTR and Season 16 only. Nothing changes on live, and our build pages still cover Season 15.
The 3.3.0 PTR for Season 16 (Build 74145) has ended. It ran on PC from 17:00 on Tuesday 27 October to 18:00 on Tuesday 3 November, UK time. There's no Season 16 date yet, and no 3.3.0 patch notes.
The new things on test were War Plans Tactics, Tyrael's Boons and Horadric Items. Blizzard says some Hell's Legacy features will carry into Season 16, but they weren't on this PTR.
Some of the bigger build changes: Charge's Battering Ram burn goes from 252% to 126%. Blood Wave's Damage Bonus upgrade drops from 30% to 20%, and Banished Lord's Talisman's Critical Strike Damage from 130 to 150% to 80 to 100%. Firewall's Ring of Fire gets an 8-second cooldown instead of 12, but its damage drops from 300% to 100%. Elegy (Blazing Scream) and Blood Moon Breeches (Minion Necromancer) are reworked, Stinger's damage goes from 140% to 125%, and Druid skills no longer pick up the Nature Magic or Shapeshifting tag from upgrades or variants.
Any of this can still change before Season 16 comes out. Nothing changes on live servers, and our build pages still cover live Season 15 play. Builds with a big change still have a short PTR note near the top of the page.
Blizzard's notes for 3.2.3 (Build 73883, all platforms) are dated 14 October. Blizzard never posted a separate go-live notice for it. 3.2.4 is now the live patch (see the 28 Oct card). 3.2.3 is bugfix only. No balance, skill, item, or rune changes.
If a character used a Splinter of a Prime Evil before finishing the Seasonal questline, it couldn't finish the questline or get Prime Evil Powers. 3.2.3 stops that happening, but it doesn't fix characters that are already stuck. For those, Blizzard says to make a new character in the same partition (Normal/Hardcore and Normal/SSF) and finish the seasonal questline. That unlocks Prime Evil Powers for every character in that partition.
Four affixes couldn't be re-rolled with the Horadric Cube: Impairment Reduction, Barrier Generation, +Healing and Critical Strike Damage. That's fixed. For Necromancers, not every monster dropped Unbroken Bones during the class quest Call of the Underworld. That's fixed too. Our Necromancer levelling guide sends you to that quest if the Golem won't unlock.
There are three boss fixes. After Baal, Tyrael could spawn where he made Baal's loot hard to pick up. The Sandstone Golem in the Horadric Library could fail to respawn if you died during the fight. The Countess in the Forgotten Tower could pass through the fog wall and stop the fight progressing. Blizzard also lists general stability, performance, visual, and UI improvements.
3.2.2 Hotfix 2 went up on 6 October, about 22:53 BST. Bugfix only. Players could not claim Horadric Parcel items. Stability improvements landed with it. No balance, skill, item, or rune value changes. There was no Season 15 Hotfix 5. Blizzard's 3.2.3 notes followed, dated 14 October, and 3.2.4 is now the live patch; see the cards above.
3.2.2 Hotfix 1 went up on 2 October, about 21:16 BST. Bugfix only. No balance, skill, item, or rune value changes. Elites were spawning inside Training Ground dungeons. Moophisto was not dropping loot as intended. Hotfixes 1 to 4 still sit under 3.2.1. Hotfix 2 came on 6 October; see the card above.
Hellfire Torch with Sea of the Golden Epiphany and Seal of the Diamond Mind still gives three Unique Charm bonuses plus a full five-piece set. Blizzard did not intend that. They are leaving it for the rest of Season 15, because people have already spent time earning the torch and building around it. Dan Tanguay said on the forums they want more time to look at it first.
3.2.2 is live. Build 73764, all platforms, dated 30 September. Bugfixes only. No balance, skill, item, or rune value changes. There is no Season 15 Hotfix 5. Hotfixes 1 to 4 still belong under 3.2.1. 3.2.2 Hotfix 1 came on 2 October and Hotfix 2 on 6 October; see the cards above. Fixes include Worldstone Chamber, Lester's Farm and Chamber of Bone progression; Edge and Lore runewords; Henri's Perquisition Cube craft; Nihlathak arena teleport; Druid Pulverize immobilize on Staggered bosses; Sorcerer Incinerate Enchantment burning now triggering Tal; Sol Rune damage-reduction activation; Tower Obelisk map icon; Eternal leaderboard UI; and various stability and visual fixes. Cosmetics from the grant PSA landed shortly after the patch went live.
Under 3.2.1 at the time. Hotfix 4 fixed the Tristram fountain eating Wirt's Lucky Coins without opening a portal, re-enabled Fiend of Abaddon's Lesser Demon Bonus after the exploit fix, and cleared several other live bugs (Switch 2 variant skills, class quests, Council loot spam, Cube tribute materials, infinite Butcher spawns, and a seasonal reputation cache Spark miss). A 3.2.1 hotfixes roundup stamped this on 23 Sep. Patch 3.2.2 came later; see the card above.
As of 20 September the live numbered build was unchanged and Hotfixes 1–3 sat under 3.2.1. Hotfix 4 landed on 22 September. Patch 3.2.2 went live on 30 September; see the 3.2.2 card.
Blizzard pulled the Dominance upgrade after it pushed damage higher than intended. Hotfix 4 on 22 September re-enabled Fiend of Abaddon's Lesser Demon Bonus after the exploit fix. Treat older "still disabled as of 20 September" notes as history. Ae'grom Summoner still does not need Fiend of Abaddon.
Hotfix 3 restored Tree of Whispers caches that could not be claimed, fixed previous seasonal progress not resetting on new Solo Self-Found characters, and brought SSF back online. A trade-window display bug went with them. Claim stuck caches; if you rolled SSF at launch, confirm the fresh character is clean before you pour time into it.
Transfiguring Ancestral Stealthed items worked again after Hotfix 2. Whispers turn-ins at Ravens and the Tree were still failing for some players until Hotfix 3 the next day — use that later fix if a cache still will not claim.
SSF spent the first midweek of the season briefly offline, with progress that would not reset on a new seasonal character. Restore posts landed on the 16th and 17th; Hotfix 3 on the 18th closed the loop and re-enabled the mode.
Season 15 launched with Diablo’s thirtieth anniversary: a history questline, Prime Evil remnants, Reliquary and War Plan, and a full class-and-item patch under 3.2.1. Forgotten Soul costs for Royal and Grand gems, and for Ancestral enchants, dropped with it — the live numbers sit on Farming. Day-one order lives on Season 15.
Some players could not get in when the season flipped. Hotfix 1 under 3.2.1 restored logins the same day. SSF stayed broken longer — see the midweek notes above.
Forgotten Soul costs for high-tier gems and Ancestral enchant came down hard with 3.2.1. Plan spends against the Farming table — do not keep budgeting the old 30 / 300 figures.
Some PlayStation 5 players in Japan and select EMEA regions received 3.2.1 a day early and could not get into the game. The official 15 September rollout cleared it. History now — ignore if you are already in.
Hotfix 4 on 22 September re-enabled it after the exploit fix. Older "still disabled" notes are history. Ae'grom Summoner still does not need Fiend of Abaddon.
We skip Season 14 Hotfix 4, July 3.1.x server notes, and undated meta chatter. Full patch dumps stay off this page.
Each class overview compares three endgame builds and links to a level 1–70 levelling guide.
