New Diablo 4 Season 1 update rolls back this hated patch change

Diablo 4

What you need to know

  • Just a few days after Diablo 4's Season 1 patch went live on July 18, developer Blizzard has removed a change that forced players to reach a certain level before moving up to the game's endgame World Tiers.
  • Specifically, players had to be Level 40 to enter World Tier 3, and 60 to enter World Tier 4. These requirements were lifted when Season 1 fully released on Thursday.
  • The addition of these restrictions wasn't documented in patch notes, and many fans felt that they were punishing players for making progress too quickly.
  • Diablo 4 is facing widespread scrutiny for heavy nerfs made with the Season 1 patch. Blizzard plans to address the community's concerns during a Fireside Chat livestream scheduled for 11 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. ET later today.
