Diablo 4's Season of the Malignant is well underway, and despite a rocky start with an unpopular initial patch, the development team has been making some adjustments.
The recent Patch 1.1.4 tackled various bugs and significantly improved the rewards from the Urn of Aggression. However, player feedback still suggests the need for significant changes in the upcoming Diablo 4 Season of Blood.
While the September 14 hotfix for Diablo 4, as shared on Blizzard's blog, doesn't bring a plethora of changes, it's still impactful. The main highlight is a substantial EXP boost in higher World Tiers, although it does come with the cost of addressing a Seeds of Hatred exploit.
Here are the details of the Diablo 4 September 14 hotfix:
Game Updates:
- Experience gains for defeating monsters have been increased in World Tiers 3 & 4.
- World Tier 3: Experience gain increased by 5%
- World Tier 4: Experience gain increased by 15%
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue where Seeds of Hatred could be acquired excessively in certain situations.
The added experience gain in later World Tiers is undoubtedly a positive change, making the grind more rewarding for players. This boost may even make Diablo 4's Nightmare Dungeons more appealing, as one fan demonstrated the diminishing returns of higher tiers with a mathematical analysis.
While this September 14 update for Diablo 4 may not be extensive, it should enhance the gameplay experience for those who are still hard at work grinding through the game.
