Was it mentioned if we will be allowed to increase the difficulty tier beyond “Veteran” while in the campaign mode?

It wasn’t mentioned explicitly, but my understanding was that you can choose any of the 4 base difficulties (normal, hard, expert, and penitent, I think?) for any content.
So it will likely be the same as how you can choose normal or veteran (WT 1 or 2) right now.
They also said penitent is roughly like “take the current WT2 and add 45 levels to all monsters”, so it would be quite a bit more challenging.
Its in the blog/patch notes…
World Tiers have been changed to Difficulties, a new way to control your challenge and reward. The first 4 Difficulties—known as Standard Difficulties—are Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent. The purpose of Standard Difficulties tiers is to temper your character while you strive to hit character Level 60, the new maximum.
- Normal is a slower-paced mode suited for those looking for a lighter challenge.
- Hard and Expert offer an increased challenge for those looking to test their mettle and play at a faster pace.
- Penitent isn’t for the faint of heart. Those looking to pave a path to the new Torment Difficulties will face off against heightened danger. Play at your own peril!
As you accelerate in Difficulty, the amount of Gold and experience you earn will rise too. Here’s how to unlock each Difficulty:
- Normal and Hard are unlocked by default.
- Expert is unlocked after completing Diablo IV’s prologue.
- Penitent is unlocked upon reaching Level 50.
This is very important question. I don’t want to be stuck in baby mode again in the middle of campaign!
