Here Is When Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.1 Will Be Released: Here
Patch 1.1.1 will bring with it significant modifications following the Season of Malignant launch as Blizzard continues its efforts at responding to player feedback.
Diablo 4’s final pre-season update saw noticeable decreases to player power, and patch 1.1.1 marks the initial steps towards improving class feel as well as accommodating for increased item storage space needs.
Diablo IV’s patch 1.1.1 was first discussed during July 21’s Campfire Chat when its creator revealed it is planned to go live “within weeks”.
Later, we learned it would come out sometime during August; July 28’s Campfire Chat announced its release date as August 8. Full patch notes were shared on August 2.
Diablo IV’s patch 1.1.1 will focus on content improvements to Sorcerer and Barbarian legendary aspects that aren’t being utilized properly currently, according to developer. You’ll likely notice improvements such as legendary power increases or unique item upgrades for these two classes; Sorceress classes being prioritized among these two.
Blizzard plans on increasing Sorcerer late-game survivability while simultaneously ramping up Barbarian early game fury production, in addition to making certain uniques more effective during late game play.
Other classes will also see changes, like an increase in spirit generation for Druids and reduced pet buffs compared to last time around.
Purchase of an additional stash tab will cost 400,000 gold while our Elixir stack size has been raised from 99 to 100.
Respec costs have also been cut by about 40%, making it simpler and quicker for us to try out different builds as we level seasonal characters.
Monster density will be significantly increased both Nightmare Dungeons and Helltide.
World Tiers 3 and 4 introduce more challenging environments with enhanced health for dungeon and world bosses; to compensate, each boss in these tiers guarantees to drop at least one legendary item starting from level 35.
Legion Events will feature guaranteed legendary item drops when patch 1.1.1 of Diablo 4 launches, as will Treasure Goblins starting as early as level 15.
The timer for leaving dungeons will be reduced back down to 3 seconds, according to developer. He explained that its sudden increase had been made as an ineffective attempt at making players less able to avoid encounters that might prove challenging for them.
Based on how Diablo 4’s teleports only interrupt after taking enough damage, rather than immediately upon being struck, we made this determination.
Nightmare Dungeons will also lose the Resource Drain, Cold Enchanted, and Backstabber attributes.
Diablo IV’s patch 1.1.1 should signal an important milestone towards getting this ARPG back on track after its controversial preseason patch. Here is more on when Season 2 might launch for more on that game.
