Diablo III – Season 29 content

The main theme of the current season are Visions of Hostility, thanks to which portals called Devil’s Rifts appear in the wastelands of the world of Sanctuary. They contain dangerous memories from the past, powerful enemies and new equipment.

The decorative elements of the season include Galactic Wings, the Gray Void portrait, and those that can be unlocked thanks to progress in the game, i.e. the Favor of the Mad King portrait and the Quoth pet. Diablo III also debuted the “Solo Challenge” mode, aimed at people who want to face the hellish hordes alone. Deprived of support and bonuses from team members, they can still count on their progress being taken into account on the leaderboard. Hardcore fans also have the option to choose permadeath. Season 29 introduced a new Mastery Point cap that applies to all modes. Until now, only 50 points could be assigned to each of the basic, defense, attack and utility stats, now this threshold has been increased to 200 points. In addition, the game has new rewards for seasonal progress, conquests, changes in the balance of individual classes and many fixes suggested by the community. You can check the full list at official game website.

The future of Diablo III

Eleven years after the premiere, season 29 will be the last one to feature significant changes. As announced by the creators, there will be no new theme in the next season, instead the fan-favorite Sanctuary Rites will return. It will be available in all modes.

After Season 30, themes and features from the past will return to the game every three months. Thus, Blizzard Entertainment will eliminate the need to create new content for Season 3, allowing it to fully focus on this year’s Diablo IV.

As a child, he wrote fantasy stories, tortured Pegasus, and then the PC. He turned his passions into a job as an editor of a gaming portal run with a friend, as well as a copywriter and consultant in a console store. Over time, he began to wonder whether there was a place for him in a larger editorial office. As a result, he joined the GRYOnline.pl newsroom. He is not afraid of tackling various topics, although he prefers news about independent productions like Disco Elysium. However, he is not a fan of remakes and video game titles. He wanted to write a novel since he was a child, although he is much better at creating its characters than its plot. That’s probably why he loved RPGs (paper and virtual) so much. He was raised by the 90s, to which he would gladly move. He loves Tarantino’s films, thanks to Mad Max and the first Fallout he became immersed in post-apocalypse, and Berserk convinced him to love dark fantasy. Today, he tries his hand at e-commerce and marketing, while supporting the team on weekends. Thanks to this, he can still cultivate his old passions
