Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred is the first expansion for the game, and starts alongside Season 6: Season of Hatred Rising on October 7/8 (depending on your region). This new expansion and Patch 2.0 completely change the game whether you own the expansion or not, and the biggest change is the difficulty levels. World Tiers 1 to 4 no longer exist, and have been replaced with base difficulties of Normal, Hard, Expert and Penitent. Additionally, players wanting to push harder content can unlock Torments 1 to 4.
What are the differences between these difficulty levels, and which should you choose for the campaign and for seasonal content? I am to answer these questions for you here!
