Patch 2.1 Differences for Console
When patch 2.1 was converted from Diablo III on the PC to the consoles, some features were not transferred. The biggest examples are Seasons and Ladderboards, but there are other small differences between the patch on the two clients.
Post by Blizzard (Blue Tracker, Official Forum)
Patch 2.1.0 for Ultimate Evil Edition captures most of the updates that were included in the PC 2.1.0 patch, which effect changes that the console supports. One particular difference would regard Seasons which are not included in the 2.1.0 console patch.
Edit: As Indhy pointed out, the fifth stash space did not make the translation. Console stash is a bit different from its PC counterpart as some item stacks go up to 1000 on console and items only ever take up one slot, unlike PC.

Some additional clarifications:
What about Kadala? I thought she would be overhauled?
No changes were made to the prices or drop rates of items. She did receive a shorter purchase timer cooldown though.
I know we don't get seasons, which is fine, but what about the Seasonal weapons, will we ever be able to get those??
So far, the only information we’ve offered is that the Seasonal Legendaries were not included with the 2.1.0 patch for Ultimate Evil Edition. You can be sure that as information about subsequent patches becomes available we’ll do our best to share that with you as soon as we are able.
Is there any reason why we did not get all the further updates that the PC got after 2.1? Are these minor hotfixes coming?
It’s our intention to continue to iterate on the console version as updates become available in the PC version. With that said, not all changes may make that transition, as was the case with Seasons or the Leaderboards. Although it’s our intention to bring appropriate updates over, there may be some delay between when updates are delivered for PC and when they are offered to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
So didnt 2.1 include the ability to compare socketed gemmed items with none sucketed gemmed items? How is this done on the consoles?
The “Compare without sockets†feature did not make it into 2.1 for Console.

Missing Items on Xbox One
Since patch 2.1 arrived for the latest generation consoles, there have been reports of missing Heroes and items on the Xbox One version of the game. The Diablo III quality assurance team is trying to track down the specifics of the bug, and have requested that players who see the issue report it.
Post by Blizzard (Blue Tracker, Official Forum)
[Update October 10, 2014] We believe we have identified the cause of this bug and are working on a forthcoming patch to implement a fix. Although we do not have an ETA to provide at this time as to when this patch will be available, the followings steps should correct the issue in the meantime:
Please note that these steps will prevent further instances of this bug occurring, but will not restore any items that were lost as a result. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you all for time, patience, and reports.
--------------------------
Greetings everyone,
Since the release of patch 2.1.0 on Xbox One, we’ve received several reports from players noting that their Hero saves have been lost. From these reports, it appears that the issue is only affecting certain heroes’ inventories. Some players have also reported seeing a duplicate of their hero with newer items on the Hero selection screen, but cannot enter a game with that specific character.
If you have experienced, or continue to experience, this issue please let us know the following:
Additionally, it would help us to have your Gamertag/PSN ID. Please note this is optional, and we will be able to continue the investigation without this information. If you do not want to share that info here, please contribute what information you can.
Thank you!
- Delete either instance of the duplicated hero in the Hero list
- Back out to Press Start
- Proceed back to Main Menu
Please note that these steps will prevent further instances of this bug occurring, but will not restore any items that were lost as a result. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and thank you all for time, patience, and reports.

Follower Items Disappearing
Another issue involves Follower items disappearing. There was a bug like this before on the console, that was patched months ago, but some reports are popping up again.
Post by Blizzard (Blue Tracker, Official Forum)
Quick question for all of you: Had it been more than a few weeks since you had last played Diablo III in a single player game at the time you noticed you were missing follower items?
At one time, we had a bug that very rarely caused follower items to be lost upon exiting a game. However, we deployed a minor game update several weeks ago that should have resolved this issue. It's possible that you could have been affected by this from issue before that update was applied and hadn't noticed, either because you hadn't played since this occurred, or you had only been playing in multiplayer without followers.
If you are 100% positive that your followers had items and then lost them very recently (within the past 2 weeks), please go ahead and reply and let us know what the last thing you remember doing in-game before this happened.
