In the wake of the release of Patch 1.3.3a of Diablo 4, which addresses issues with Leaderboard filtering and a bug affecting PlayStation users, some concerns mentioning an issue with the scoring and Leaderboard placement for players on local split-screen co-op have come to light. Players who opt to play together in local co-op are forced to share the same screen, which poses a huge issue when competing against teams in the same Leaderboard bracket who do not face such constraints. Those playing in groups on separate game clients may freely split up and kill more enemies simultaneously than their split-screen counterparts. Global Diablo Community Development Director Adam Fletcher responded to the concern on X (formerly known as Twitter), agreeing with the sentiment and stating that there would be an internal discussion of the topic.

Vampiric Powers in Diablo 4 premiered in Season 2 to relatively solid approval from players. Between incredible power spikes from powers such as and leveling quality-of-life powers like, players were sad to see the removal of these abilities when Season of Blood ended. Thankfully, Blizzard has heard the players — and these bloodthirsty powers won't be gone for long.
Season 3 Campfire Chat Announcement
In their Campfire Chat announcement, Blizzard revealed that they would be discussing the return of Vampiric Powers during the upcoming livestream. While we don't know which powers have made the cut, or what form they'll return in, we can at least make a few guesses. Malignant abilities from Season 1 of Diablo 4 made their return in the form of Unique Rings such as, allowing fan-favorites to become permanent core additions to the game. It is likely that Vampiric Powers would be treated similarly — although Blizzard might throw us a curveball!
Join associate director of community Adam Fletcher, associate game director Joseph Piepiora, and lead live class designer Adam Jackson as they delve into the Gauntlet, Leaderboards, balance updates, and bloodthirsty powers set to make their return. We’ll also have a special event to showcase members of the development team playing the Gauntlet. They’ll be joined by Diablo creators MicroBioBoi and AnnacakeLive to commentate on the action!
