Patch Notes Are Up

What jumped out at me:

  • Reduced the difficulty of Bloodsoaked sigils significantly.
  • Fixed an issue where Bloodied Nightmare Dungeons didn’t have the same chances for dropping Obducite as normal Nightmare Dungeons.

Noice!

  • Fixed an issue where the winged visual effects were missing while in Paladin’s Arbiter form.

Hopefully that’s the end of the tinfoil hats on this.

  • Fixed an issue where Necromancer minions could block player movement when entering a Slaughterhouse.
  • Fixed various instances where Season Rank Objectives or Capstone Completions either did not grant the expected rewards or could not be completed as expected.
  • Instances of the Butcher in the Fields of Hatred now have significantly more health.

A decent patch.

Gotta love how their news article links always put you on the main news landing page once before properly working. It’s been what, six years since that started?

In addition, the Patch Notes link in the top menu still links to Diablo IV Patch Notes (2.5) instead of Diablo IV Patch Notes (2.6)

Sooo, bloodied NMDs will now drop 20 obducite like regular NMDs??? This season is toast.

I have all but three items fully masterworked and I have over 10k Obducite.

Nothing is toast. It’s an effort problem if anything.

Thats nice but it also looked funny w/o it. I was able see my “Chains of the Iron Demon” Wings while in Arbiter form :see_no_evil_monkey:

Thank Lilith they did not boost the obdocite drops,the game may be saved yet!

No obducite fix. Already told my friends to skip this season. It’s just not fun.

So you told them not to play the game because gathering obducite requires playing the game?

Don’t be dumb. The season isn’t fun. Doing an entire NMD (you know, the “main source” of obducite) for 17 pieces is terrible. The gameplay loop Blizzard is encouraging is:

  1. Craft 20 sigils
  2. Open and enter each dungeon, leave immediately if your Wayfinder doesn’t react to a strongroom.
  3. Repeat.

You can’t tell me this is what they wanted for this season in their design meetings.

It just shows that blizzard is disconnected here.

Why are you nerfing the difficulty of the bosses in T7?

Just make it so you can downgrade sigils to bloodied so your character isnt bricked. Keeping T7 hard is what gives us motivation to find 1% upgrades, so we can push for T7.

Going from pit 100 to unlocking sigils that give you pit 140~ difficulty bosses is a stupid design. But at least it gives us something to push for. Making it so that you can downgrade sigils fixes bricked characters without nerfing the content for those who want to push. We have 40~ days left on the season. I dont want to be one shotting bosses. its boring.

As a side note, some classes need to be buffed. Some classes need more than 1 spec that can push these T7 bosses, as well. But we’re about to see an expac drop so I assume thats all being worked on.

i cannot complain about obducite, seems fine to me. I can however complain about doing PVP objectives for the seasonal journey and the state of T4 infernal hordes…
I will try a T4 infernal horde now and see what its like… im expecting it to be unfixed.

That is a you choice ,my guy.

Or you can just finish the dungeon and still get some obdocite

My God just by reading this I understand why gaming is doomed.

Immersion? Fantasy? Rpg ?

Nah,f that! Only efficiency! Only efficiency is important. LoL.

Did you mean to use disconnected? The very fact that they’re being changed is from a connection. I.e., players have been screaming about it since the 1st lvl 100 Pit.

One one objective is. It’s the getting to kill another player while in Butcher form. All the rest don’t require PvP.

Bloodied, or regular?

This is an ARPG, my man. Do you really dig into RP’ing your 15th throwaway seasonal character? Or plunge deep into the meaningful sidequests? It’s about getting powerful and blowing up hordes of demons. And Blizzard made the process of getting powerful deeply un-fun this season.

Players are not asking for them to nerf the content. Players are asking for other classes besides paladin to be able to clear content without needing perfect items.

We dont want T7 nerfed. We want the ability to unbrick our characters.

Why are they nerfing T7 content when everything is already so easy? Season ends on tuesday for many players because of this. What am I pushing for 5~ days into the season I can already clear T7.

A season shouldnt end for anyone 5 days in. They should offer a solution to unbrick the character, not nerf the content.

Not asking for a lot, not asking to be obducite capped like last season, I only think a NMD run should net about 200 obducite, not 20.

“Fixed Druid not receiving Willpower from kill streaks.”

This explains so much. Half my bloodied items are useless.

Now if I could just get a strongroom or treasure breech to drop so I had some obdicite to finish masterworking. And get a stock for item replacement. Suspect some of the +Willpower/kill streak level won’t work post fix due to stacking.
