How transformative this will end up being remains to be seen. Whereas before players would apparently be expected to spend time tweaking how they would impact your build, the patch notes make clear that “Malignant Hearts will now always grant armour that directly maps with their item power”. Its primary effect is the removal of a level requirement for World Tiers 3 and 4, but there’s one other major tweak of note, too.Īs laid out in the blog post on Activision Blizzard's site, the other big change update 1.1.0b introduces can’t actually take effect yet, seeing as it relates to how Diablo 4 Malignant Hearts are handled. And yet, more than 21 years after Diablo II first. That was to be the evermore version of the classic action-RPG. We know this because, slightly ahead of Diablo 4 Season 1’s arrival later today, and mere days after update 1.1.0a sparked outrage after nerfing classes, Activision Blizzard has surprise released update 1.1.0b. Diablo II’s last meaningful balance-focused patch arrived on March 23, 2010. After endless criticisms over the last Diablo 4 patch from earlier this week, update 1.1.0b has surprise released to somewhat satiate fans.Īre two patches in one week too much for Diablo 4 players to handle? Apparently not.
