Diablo 4 News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

As someone who loved Terry Pratchett’s Bromeliad Trilogy growing up, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the return to the Earth-like planet PNF-404 in Pikmin 4. Who knows what has befallen this planet in the Pikmin-verse, but it’s quirkily enjoyable to have our general detritus as collectable treasures for the diminutive Pikmin and Hocotatians. Pikmin 4‘s pretty great, by the way.

During its recent livestream, Diablo 4 associate game director Joe Piepiora, game director Joe Shely, and community chief Adam Fletcher admitted that the studio messed up with the recent nerfs to several characters that were brought along with updates earlier this week.

  Diablo IV ’s wildly unpopular recent patch will get some changes, and the team has not only announced some hotfixes to help make some improvements, as well as greater transparency before making major changes.

A loud vocal minority of Diablo 4 players are furious about the Barbarian and Sorcerer nerfs in Diablo 4 Season 1, and many players are looking for news about potential Barbarian and Sorcerer buffs sooner rather than later. Luckily, in the latest Diablo 4 Campfire Chat, the game directors said that they hear the player feedback and are happy to announce a Barbarian and Sorcerer buff coming in Diablo 4 Season 1 in patch 1.1.1.

The Season of the Malignant has started in Diablo IV, the first season for this quasi-MMO action RPG, and it boasts a few interesting additions. Alongside the new malignant enemies there’s a new questline to follow, a new boss, and some new loot of course. All of those might sound like fun new things, but they come alongside a Diablo IV patch that seems to nerf everything enjoyable in the game to make it take longer, reward less loot, and just generally be less enjoyable for players.

Shortly after kicking off the first proper season for Diablo 4, Blizzard has revealed some of the features it would like to bring to the game down the line in an interview. Speaking with IGN, producer Joe Piepiora spoke about expanding the role of the Scroll of Escape item as a way to provide a safety net for players with dodgy Internet connections.

In preparation for the start of Diablo 4 Season 1 – Season of the Malignant, Blizzard has released update v1.1.0a for the long-awaited action RPG sequel. As players have got to grips with the changes and inspected the patch notes, a wave of dissatisfaction has washed up on social media and message boards, as Blizzard has seemingly nerfed pretty much every character class and build in the game.

Blizzard Entertainment’s first season for Diablo 4, Season of the Malignant, is now available on all platforms. It arrives at an odd time, with the pre-season patch being widely panned (leading to user review score bombing on Metacritic). Nevertheless, there’s new content, particularly the new Malignant Hearts.

One of the newest things to be included in the first season of Diablo 4 Season of the Malgianant is collecting well, Malignant Hearts. These hearts can enhance your build in many ways, so it’s definitely a good idea to seek them out. These items are relatively rare because of how strong they can be, meaning you may have to go out of your way to find them. However, the following are the best ways to get the Malignant Hearts in Season 1 of Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 players aren’t happy with the latest patch for the action RPG, which nerfed several key aspects of the game, from stats like critical damage and vulnerable damage to XP garnered from higher-level monsters. Since user reviews aren’t a thing on Battle.net, fans have taken to review-bombing the user scores on Metacritic.

Diablo 4’s Season of the Malignant goes live on July 20th, 10 AM PDT, but Blizzard is still reeling from the response to its first major patch. On top of nerfs to just about everything, it also added a level requirement for World Tiers 3 and 4. Confident in your build and want to progress faster? Now you can’t without grinding out the levels.

Blizzard games will be coming to Steam, starting with Overwatch 2 on 10th August, giving PC gamers an option outside of Battle.net for where they buy and play their Blizzard games.

Diablo global community development director Adam Fletcher has revealed that Blizzard will be holding a Campfire Chat this Friday to discuss the changes that are being made to Diablo 4 as part of its big 1.1.0 update. Announced over Twitter, Fletcher states that the goal of the Campfire Chat is to take into account feedback from players for the update.

Blizzard Entertainment’s latest update for Diablo 4 is now live in preparation for Season of the Malignant. While it adds new Uniques and Legendary Aspects, many borderline pointless, it packs multiple nerfs to almost everything in the game.

Diablo 4’s first season, the Season of the Malignant, is fast approaching, and in its wake Blizzard are enacting sweeping changes across all five of the game’s classes. Some, like the Sorcerer, are coming out of this looking a little worse for wear, but others, like the Rogue, are going to be stronger than ever. If you’re planning to get your sneak on in season one, then read on for a full list of all the Season of the Malignant Rogue changes in Diablo 4, including buffs, nerfs, and more.
