Verdicts seem to be reversing on Diablo 4 Season 3 after a substantial patch buffs Echo of Malphas

Blizzard will be announcing the date of their Midseason Campfire Chat next week. The Campfire will discuss both upcoming class changes, as well as The Gauntlet. Global Community Development Director Adam Fletcher revealed that a Campfire Chat date will be coming soon — with the announcement next week, it is likely that the Campfire Chat itself would occur the week after, although it could be pushed out even further.

As expected for anything in early access, there have been some performance issues with Palworld since day one. However, following the release of patch 0.1.4.1 (Steam) and 0.1.1.4 (Xbox), there’s a noticeable uptick in community reports of lag and disappearing floors.

Season 9 ofOverwatch 2, Champions, arrives on February 13th with an extensive rework of Competitive Play and sweeping changes to balance. It’s fitting then that it’s a “rebase” patch, which will consolidate previous patches, ensuring the overall installation size isn’t too bloated.

Jagex Limited has been acquired for the fifth time in its 25-year history, prompting fans to joke through another corporate shakeup.

Yellow Paint Discourse has once again hit the gamer networks. Shortly after the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demo went live, players and developers once again argued about the pros/cons of highlighting interactable objects with bright yellow paint.

Blizzard has revealed that Patch 1.3.2 of Diablo 4 will release sometime next week, with the patch notes being revealed this Friday. Global Community Development Director Adam Fletcher announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that both a second hotfix and patch notes for Patch 1.3.2 would be coming this week, with the release of Patch 1.3.2 shortly after. As of now, there is no word on if the widely-anticipated Leaderboards and Gauntlet are part of Patch 1.3.2.

To say that Diablo 4’s Season of the Construct landed with a thud last week would be an understatement. Following complaints, Blizzard Entertainment has released a new patch, toughening up the Echo of Malphas boss and making the Seneschal Construct more useful.

Fromsoftwarian world-building sometimes has centuries explained away in item descriptions for random rusty spoons, which makes hunting down all the lore nuggets just as satisfying as surviving bosses. One YouTuber has done the heavy lifting on Elden Ring for us, thankfully, but it's also taken them over 35 hours to do so.

Season of the Construct is now live inDiablo 4, along with its first hotfix addressing a particularly annoying progression blocker. However, several players aren’t happy with the season in general, whether it’s the lack of much new content, the Vaults and their traps, the underwhelming Seneschal Construct, etc.

Diablo 4 had a rough start with Season 1, an encouraging recovery with Season 2, and now seems to have taken a step back or at least lost some momentum with the launch of Season 3. Players have complained of ineffectual and annoying new content since the new season's release, but as the action RPG's community dips back into disgruntled territory, at least Blizzard has been quick to assure people that it's paying attention to the early feedback.

With Season 3 finally live, some players are experiencing some rather annoying bugs. While there are few progress-ending bugs such as the Drums of the Vault issue which was recently fixed, other, less critical bugs have reared their heads — and they can be quite annoying.
