Hey, remember the Ruins of Eridu? The Diablo 4 dungeon that provided an excellent venue for power levelling thanks to its surfeit of elite enemies? Well purge it from your mind, because Blizzard's ninth hotfix for Diablo 4 is nerfing its most easily exploitable dungeons, sending elite spawn rates plummeting and ensuring you have to really work for those extra paragon points after level 50.
Hotfix 9 was released last Monday, June 12, and makes changes aimed at "standardizing the density of elite monsters that spawn in dungeons," in order to make sure that "no particular dungeon is clearly more efficient to run through than others". In short, places like Eridu will no longer be home to noticeably more XP-and-loot-filled elites than any other of Diablo's dank holes in the wall. Fans, as you might expect, aren't thrilled.
