if you want to be able to play Diablo 4 Forever, you might want to retract those expectations, as Blizzard puts it.
Diablo 4 is clearly a game designed with replayability in mind, but that doesn’t mean you can replay it before the heat death of the universe. As part of the panel interview, Deputy Game Director Joe Piepiora shared that the difficulty of Nightmare Dungeons will even increase beyond level 100, but the difficulty will eventually hit the limit (via GamesRadar). The director pointed out that the game isn’t designed to scale forever with your character’s level, and that once you reach a high enough level, you’ll have a “peak boss encounter,” which should be a feature no matter what your building is. challenging.
Pipiola says Diablo 4 “isn’t meant to be played forever. So some creatures you keep fighting on increasing difficulty [beyond level 100], but in this kind of content, you kind of push yourself to see how far you can go with your build, rather than trying to get endless rewards as you pass level 100 over time. ”
While Blizzard didn’t specify at what point after level 100 you’ll gain the “maximum power of your gear,” you’ll be able to reassign your character until you’re happy with the build you’ve made; Blizzard notes that until that point , you shouldn’t accept that tough final boss encounter.
“At level 100, we do have a pinnacle boss encounter that we want players to participate in, and that’s balanced so it’s very, very challenging. Players who get to level 100 will spend a lot of time in this boss encounter An extremely tough time. And the expectation is you took your class, you understand your build, you’ve maxed everything out of it, and you’ve learned really well the problems you’ve encountered. That’s going to be your The way it can be undone.”
Blizzard recently announced that Diablo 4 will have another public beta in May, following the popularity of the first two.
