Diablo 4 is walking back several changes from its big Season 1 patch which had made the game an even bigger slog and proved to be overwhelmingly controversial with fans. Blizzard had previously spoken about the upcoming 1.1.1 plaster update during a developer livestream, but the new patch notes detail everything we can expect, including crucial fixes, tweaks to mounts, and big buffs for the Sorcerer and Barbarian classes. The patch drops on August 8th.
Diablo 4 is making it easier to find the powerful items you’re after

Getting the exact Diablo 4 items you want to upgrade your loadout can be tough. There’s certainly no shortage of loot in the RPG game, but oftentimes it can feel like you’re sifting through for the proverbial needle in a haystack – except that the haystack in Diablo 4 is made of even more needles. Thankfully, perfecting your best Diablo 4 builds should be getting much easier in future updates.
Speaking as part of its recent Diablo 4 Campfire Chat to address the poorly received recent patch ahead of Season One, game director Joe Shely and associate director Joseph Piepiora discuss some of the plans the team has in store to make it more viable to find the items you want, and in particular Diablo 4 Uniques that are essential to your build plans, such as the Druid’s Tempest Roar helm.
“I grind for a long time for an item, and the item is not an upgrade – this can certainly tend to be true,” Piepiora remarks, listing out several plans the team has to help resolve this. The first is more managerial – “We want to try to reduce the difficulty of comparing a number of different items all at once; this is something the UI team is very passionate about.”
He specifically name-drops loot filters as part of this suggestion, something that will undoubtedly perk up the ears of the more hardcore fanbase, or anyone who’s spent much time playing rival ARPG Path of Exile, which has a very comprehensive such system that allows players to self-determine what items and affixes they want the game to highlight among their drops. There’s no specifics given for what that might look like in Diablo 4, but even a mention of the idea has me excited.
Piepiora notes that the system team is working on ways to address the general progression of Diablo 4

Diablo 4’s annoying barricades can soon be destroyed by horses
Getting a mount in Diablo 4 should speed up your travels across the dark world of Sanctuary, but one recurring community complaint centres on how annoying the barricades can be while mounted as they frequently slow down exploration. Since Diablo 4’s launch, several online posts have criticised the inconvenience that comes from frequently dismounting their horse to break said barricades. But developer Blizzard now plans to address that tedium in the game’s next big patch.
