Diablo IV is offering a new opportunity for players who walked away from the game to come back strong. During a recent Campfire Chatdevelopers Blizzard announced a new “Welcome Back-Boost” that will allow players to raise one of their characters directly to level 50, eliminating the need to go through the initial phases of the game.
This initiative, intended as an aid to quickly reintegrate into the competitive world of Sanctuary, promises to facilitate the return for both veterans and new adventurers.
The boost will allow players to jump right into the action without having to discover all the Lilith Altars scattered around the map, as these will automatically activate with the upgrade. This provides a significant increase in experience points and renown, applicable to all characters on the account, where in addition, players will be able to choose between three pre-established builds per class to immediately launch into the endgame without the need to manually assign each skill point. .
However, there are certain limitations, since for players who only own the base game, this boost will be available for a single character, while those who have the Vessel of Hatred expansion will receive a second free boost, representing an additional incentive for who have already delved into the contents of this new expansion. Although the developers have not confirmed the exact release date, this feature is expected to arrive soon to revitalize the player experience ahead of the sixth season, which is still in full development.
The Campfire Chat also revealed other news, including an upcoming special event called Mother’s Blessing, and the ability to try out the new Spiritborn class for free for a limited period. In addition, Blizzard has announced that they are preparing balance adjustments for all classes, with the promise of keeping Spiritborn competitive without resorting to significant nerfs.
Diablo IV prepares major improvements for all classes in the face of the domination of the Spiritborn class
The new Spiritborn class has conquered Diablo IV since the arrival of the Vessel of Hatred expansion, being used by 60% of players. Despite some adjustments since its launch, the impact of this class on the meta has been notable, generating concern in the community due to its imbalance. However, during the recent Campfire ChatBlizzard assured that they do not plan to nerf this class in response to criticism from fans on social networks, instead, all other classes will receive significant improvements to level the competition.
These improvements are scheduled for an upcoming mid-season patch arriving on November 15, with the goal of raising the overall performance of all classes.
Class Designer Adam Jackson explained that changes planned for Season 7 will include fixing unexpected interactions with the Spiritborn class, but until then, players will be able to enjoy their current power. Additionally, it was announced that the patch will include improved rewards and more stable balance for all classes.
On the other hand, Blizzard has also addressed several technical issues in the PC version, although performance glitches and bugs in co-op mode remain and are still under investigation. The balance patch will arrive alongside a new test period that will allow you to experience the Spiritborn before making additional changes, which will be available first in the private test realm starting November 18.
