Diablo 4 will soon receive a number of gameplay and technical changes, as well as added content.
The authors of Diablo 4 are preparing to release update 2.5.0 and launch the 11th "Season of Divine Intervention." Blizzard Entertainment traditionally publishes a full description of the patch in advance.
The update was tested on the PTR and the developers made some additional changes in 2.5.0, for example:
- Legendary item properties have been balanced: "The values of most properties have been increased, and their range has been reduced, and the maximum value of some properties has also been increased."
- Now, at the "Torment" difficulty level, you can sanctify any items with a power level of at least 750, and not just ancestral items.
- New legendary properties have been added.
- The property that made an item indestructible has been replaced with an increase in the item's quality by 5–25 levels.
In addition, the Diablo 4 team has made several changes to the loot drop system:
Item Rarity
- Common items will drop for a longer period of time.
- Magical items will have additional properties more often.
- Rare items will be encountered less often until level 30.
- Legendary items will be encountered less often until level 40, but after obtaining it, their appearance rate will increase sharply.
- The appearance rate of legendary items for a level 40 character in Season 11 will be equal to the appearance rate of legendary items for a level 25 character in Season 10.
- For level 60 characters, the appearance rate of legendary items will remain the same.
- Legendary items will have another, fourth property.
Loot for defeating monsters
- After defeating the last defender in a group or any special enemy, in addition to the usual rewards, the player is guaranteed to receive equipment and gold.
- In addition to gem fragments, you can also get gems of the appropriate level for defeating monsters.
Nightmare Dungeons
- The probability of getting another nightmare seal after completing a nightmare dungeon has been reduced. If there are no nightmare seals in the loot, the player will receive seal powder.
Horadric Vaults
- The quality of loot and its improvement increases as the player progresses through the "Torment" difficulty levels and unlocks higher levels in the Horadric Vaults.
- You can now receive a moderate amount of gold as a reward, which increases as the vault levels increase.
- The probability of obtaining a nightmare escalation seal in the Horadric Vault has been increased.
- The base probability of a vault appearing in a nightmare dungeon has been reduced. The probability of the "Horadric Vault" property appearing on a nightmare seal has not changed.
The release of update 2.5.0 for Diablo 4 is scheduled for December 12.
