Diablo IV has been out less than a month, and developer Blizzard Entertainment is already taking steps to patch its recently released game. The 1.0.3 patch, which released to all platforms Tuesday, June 27, 2023, is set to fix issues with quests, bugs, user interface, gameplay, and character classes. One aspect of the patch that is particularly intriguing is that Blizzard seems to be focusing on early game builds and leveling up at the beginning of the game.
The basic abilities at the top of the skill tree in Diablo IV will be much more effective in terms of damage, power, and resource generation. As for abilities at the bottom of the skill tree, Blizzard appears less concerned with end game buffs, and has ignored paying them much attention at the present moment. This is likely due to the fact that the title is so new, the development team may believe fixing problems on the front end will be more beneficial for sales purposes. It would not be a surprising revelation, since Blizzard has revealed Diablo IV is its’ fastest selling game to date.
As is typical in role playing games like Diablo IV, players have their pick of different classes of characters to use. In Diablo IV, the player has the option to choose from the barbarian class, the druid class, the sorcerer class, the rogue class, and the necromancer class. Every class has been updated since the 1.0.3 patch dropped, so those starting a new game will not feel the great burden of running out of energy before the fun begins. In commenting on the class changes Blizzard released an official statement which reads,
“These changes will not change the fundamental relationship between basic skills and core skills, but we hope that they help smooth out the leveling experience while we explore additional ways to strengthen them.”
Blizzard also made it clear that it is important for it as a developer to monitor discussions about the game and learn from criticisms of players. It will be through these complaints that Blizzard further adds to anticipated patches.
