A most ominous foreboding descends across Sanctuary, adventurer.
Since our last content update, players vanquished dastardly specters in Hallow’s Wake, garbed themselves with the Hallowed Horns Cosmetic, and triumphed in several returning events. This content update introduces 42 new Legendary items, the Season 19 Spawn of Destruction Battle Pass, and updates to the Fractured Plane limited-time event.
The generals of the Burning Hells have unleashed their most clever magic—the ability to alter time itself. Starting on October 25, the server time will be thrust forward by an hour for all Europe servers.
As with previous content updates, there will be server maintenance starting on October 24, from 5 p.m.–7 p.m. PDT for Oceania, China, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe servers, and on October 25, from 1 a.m.–3 a.m. PDT for servers in the Americas. After the maintenance has concluded, all items mentioned below will be live—specific dates for any content going live afterward are provided below.

Battlegrounds Changes
Based off Community feedback, we noticed players were keen to receive their end-of-season rewards before the season’s end occurs. To change this, we’re including more rewards on Ranking Up. Players will now receive Reforge Stones every time they rank up until they reach Legendary Rank.
We have also changed the queueing for Battleground to ensure that if a queued player is no longer online, they will be removed from the current queue to prevent the match from failing to start.
Helliquary Boss Invulnerability Phase Removal
We have tweaked two Helliquary Bosses, Catarag and Ophinneb, to remove two invulnerability states from their fight.
Daylight Savings Adjustment for Europe
To help give wanderers a better chance to use the Sun’s warm visage and maximize their day, on October 25 we’re rolling back Europe’s server time by 1 hour during the scheduled maintenance period.
FRACTURED PLANE ADJUSTMENTS
In a place like Sanctuary, even those with the utmost mental fortitude can find themselves lost to the unrelenting darkness spread by the Burning Hells. Broken. Shattered. Trapped in the deepest recesses of their mind. Entering the Fractured Plane is the only way forward. This event will run from October 27, 3 a.m.–November 3, 3 a.m. server time.
Fractured Plane returns with several changes that now augment the fabled halls in the following ways:
