Diablo 4 Update 1.1.1: Mounts Break Barricades and More Improvements

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 1, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Diablo IV mounts are a subtle design. Although players can use mounts to break through enemy lines or cross terrain gaps, they are always useless when they encounter roadblocks. Fortunately, with the upcoming 1.1.1 update next week, along with Blizzard’s promised Barbarian and Mage buffs, horses will also learn to break through barricades.

In fact, since the launch of “Diablo 4”, the problem of mounts has been the speed difference between the controller and the keyboard and mouse. At the same time, actively canceling the cooldown time of the mounts has also caused a lot of inconvenience. Even more so to the barricades.

However, according to the director Joe Shely’s report on Twitter, it is confirmed that the horse will learn to break through the roadblock in the 1.1.1 update, and the cooling time of actively canceling the mount will also be improved. Players will no longer cancel the mount because of climbing the wall To ride, you have to wait several seconds to get on the horse.

We’re going to allow the mount charge to break through barricades. I realized I didn’t state this explicitly during the #Diablo4 campfire chat today.

You got it.

Of course, in the official live broadcast last weekend, the Blizzard team also mentioned the adjustments that will be made in the 1.1.1 update, including the improvement of barbarian anger generation and the adjustment of unique equipment in the later stage; for magicians, the current three-line skills will be changed Make consistent upregulation and improve late-stage viability.

At the same time, 1.1.1 will also have the following changes for practice:

World 3 and World 4 Boss monster health increased and loot drops also improved Any world after level 35, boss monsters guaranteed to drop legendary items Treasure above level 15 Goblins guaranteed to drop legendary items Nightmare Dungeon Enemy density increased significantly The maximum amount of potion single cell stacks is increased to 99. The cost of reset talent and pinnacle disk gold coins is reduced by about 40%. The cast time of leaving the dungeon is changed back to 3 seconds. Many bugs are fixed.

“Diablo 4” 1.1.1 update notes are expected to be released on August 2 overseas time, and the revised version will be launched on August 8.

Take a Break and Play: Diablo 4 Encourages Players to Rest Before the First Season

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com July 31, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

According to the Blizzard team, if players think they have completed several of the final goals of the current version in “Diablo 4”, whether it is reaching the character level of 100, breaking through the 100th floor of the Nightmare Dungeon, or defeating Lilith’s Echo, or even feel a little tired, of course, you can take a good rest before the official launch of the upcoming first season.

Play to no goal?it’s okay to take a break

As a service-oriented game, player participation and playing time are of course very important data for the development team of “Diablo 4”. Therefore, the producer who saw this game suggested that players can temporarily Letting go of this game is indeed quite an interesting phenomenon. However, it also proves that Blizzard still wants players to play their games at a healthy pace, even if this may have some impact on the game’s performance or revenue.

It has been more than a month since the long-awaited latest sequel of Blizzard’s classic action RPG series “Diablo 4” was officially launched. Although this game can basically allow players to play endlessly to a certain extent, constantly changing the equipment and values of the characters, but the current version still has many phased goals, such as completing the main storyline of the game, reaching 50 level to get all the skill points, break through into the world 4 upgrade dungeon, reach 100 level to get all the pinnacle points, or defeat the real 100 level final boss “Lilith’s Echo” in the current version, but these goals are not It takes a lot of time to achieve.

Waiting for the new season to come back again

Although the longer players play “Diablo 4”, the Blizzard team will of course benefit more, but they also understand that such an idea is not realistic. In a recent live broadcast of Blizzard’s official fireside chat, “Diablo 4” co-game director Joe Piepiora suggested that after players feel that they have achieved the goal they want to achieve, they can “take a break and play. Click on another game,” he even admitted that the developers on the team did the same.

Of course, Joe Piepiora still hopes that players can return to the world of Diablo 4 after a short break, saying that the upcoming first season is the most suitable time to continue playing. He hopes that “Diablo 4” players can enjoy the content of this game and want to keep coming back to play, and this is the focus of the season update plan. The first season, which will be launched on July 21, will bring more new content to players, so that players who return again can experience various fresh feelings.

The content of Endgame has been criticized by players, and the season may bring changes

One of the most criticized shortcomings of “Diablo 4” by players so far is the lack of clear goals for the endgame content in the late game. While Piepiora certainly doesn’t address such criticism head-on, it’s not hard to see that he does understand how players might feel. The vast majority of Diablo 4 has not yet reached level 100, and the Blizzard team does not want players to feel physically and mentally exhausted because of this game, especially before the first wave of major updates after launch.

Even if “Diablo 4” did bring a successful performance after its launch, whether this work can maintain a certain popularity for a long time after that is of course another question worth exploring. Players have no way of knowing the number of players in “Diablo 4” one month after its launch, and the returning players after the launch of the first season of course remain to be seen.

The first season of “Diablo 4” “Evil Plague” will be officially launched on July 21. All players must use the newly created character to experience the new content of the season. As for the original character, Will be transferred to the “Eternal Realm” server, you can still continue to play.
