Here's a sampling of updates from the 2.1 patch:
-Both Seasonal and Non-Seasonal heroes can compete in G-Rifts [or Greater Rifts]
-To start, get a Keystone of Trials which is a random drop from Torment Rift Bosses on a lvl 70 hero.
-Complete the Trial Rift (difficulty level is not dependent on game difficulty) to receive a Greater Rift Keystone
-WARNING: Hardcore characters that die in Trial Rifts are permanently dead
-Enter Greater Rift and kill mobs until Rift Boss spawns (loot only drops off G-Rift boss)
-Upgradeable Legendary Gems added as a drop from G-Rift Bosses. Once you have one it will not drop again.
- All Paragon XP, gold, and gear from the shared stash earned in Seasons will be transferred to your main characters when the Season ends.
-Rifts now cost 1 Keystone per person to enter
-The Skeleton King will now drop the Leoric's Crown the first time you kill him from level 11 to level 65
