Change/choose your terror zone!

Hey everyone, I’ve been pretty excited to have

Terror zones offline since they announced 2.6. My characters were sorta perpetually limited to level 93, to get any higher took way too long, plus if I made any headway I would probably die and set myself back a while (cursed, extra fast, aura enchanted enemies sock).

Within a couple hours of 2.6 going live I got my javazon to 94 and found a good number of sunder charms, opening up more character builds.

Then a few days later running the cold Moore over and over again got a bit boring, I had only received cold/fire/poison sunders and hadn’t had the cows,

Chaos Sanctuary or any other cool

Terror zones spawn. So I was reading about the mechanism that changes and chooses

Terror zones. So when you’re offline, it runs off the device’s clock, changing zones every hour.

*warning* some may consider the following as “cheating”

So last night after doing a few runs of the

Plains of Despair

Terror zones I was like ok, enough is enough. So I opened the setting of my switch and changed the time just by and hour. Back into d2r: boom! Monastery

Terror zones, so that was fun. After it changed to another meh zone, I changed the time again and got

Chaos Sanctuary, score!

So if you want to change the

Terror zone to a more desirable one just adjust your machine’s clock. You could probably even note what times correspond to your desired

Terror zone. However this can only be done for machines that allow it’s time to be set manually, and not synched via the internet - so this may be a console only “feature”. (Sorry I haven’t had a pc in years)

And for anyone who thinks this is “cheating” I totally get it. Primarily I used this because I only have a limited amount of time I can play d2r, so I want to maximize it. Just like

Terror zones themselves you’d have to choose to do this, and that is a personal choice.

Hope it’s useful!

Thanks for the hint!

A computer that does not allow to change time manually should not be considered as a device in your but in your software vendor's possession. It should be freed of this vendors malware as soon as possible.

I wouldn't consider this as morally bad behaviour at all as you are free to do on your machine whatever pleases you.
