Since the test weekend took place, Blizzard has implemented various fixes and updates to Diablo 4.
The studio said the changes were made as a result of reviewing player feedback and game data. Changes made will appear in the release version of the game.
One of the changes has to do with the dungeon, which now always rewards a chest upon completion, and the chance of dungeon events occurring has been increased from 10% to 60%.
For characters, various skills have been tweaked for all classes, and crowd control sabotage skills with proper cooldowns are now available to all.
Multiple dungeons in all areas have been optimized to minimize the need to backtrack, and dungeon events now have more chances to spawn.
Melee character difficulty for bosses like T’chort, Malnok, Vhenard, etc. has been re-evaluated, resulting in changes to attack and combat mechanics. The Butcher has also been re-evaluated and will present more of a challenge in world tiers 3 and 4.
Implemented several quality of life fixes and fixed various issues with the UI. This includes the chat that now appears on the left side of the screen, as well as replacing the Sans Serif font with a new Serif font.
Diablo 4 has more changes than listed above, so you’ll want to follow the link to see the entire list.
The next Diablo 4 Developer Update livestream will air on April 20 at 11AM PT, 2PM ET and 7PM UK. It will feature Game Director Joe Shely, Associate Game Director Joseph Piepiora, and Associate Community Director Adam Fletcher. They will be accompanied by guest host Rhykker.
Blizzard said that during the March 17 and March 24 testing weekends, Diablo 4 played more than 61.5 million hours, killed more than 29 billion monsters, and gained 2.6 million beta wolves. .
