Diablo 4 Patch 1.03 Fixes Nightmare Dungeons and the Endgame XP Grind

Diablo 4 Patch 1.03 is right here, and it is a huge one.

In a prolonged listing of patch notes posted to their weblog, Blizzard detailed Diablo 4 Patch 1.03, which included an infinite listing of gameplay enhancements and a few hotly requested modifications to deal with the endgame XP grind.

Many points which have bothered gamers have been addressed, like rogues turning into invisible indefinitely within the PvP-focused Subject of Hatred zones, and disappearing corpses when utilizing Corpse Tendrils as a necromancer.

However essentially the most notable modifications will be present in a piece referred to as “Expertise Rewards,” the place quite a few enhancements to the endgame XP grind will be discovered.

A serious situation with the endgame grind is that Nightmare Dungeons, which are supposed to be one of many major actions for gamers to sort out, have truly been much less environment friendly for leveling than doing sure normal dungeons. One of many causes for that is that many Nightmare Dungeons are just too removed from quick journey factors to be value mountain climbing over to enter the exercise within the first place, whereas a second much more essential motive is that Nightmare Dungeons merely did not give sufficient XP to make the high-difficulty exercise value it.

Each of those points at the moment are being addressed, as gamers will now be capable of teleport on to Nightmare Dungeons, which have been tuned to offer off dramatically extra XP. Equally, Helltide chests now present “considerably extra bonus expertise when opened” and XP granted from finishing Whisper bounties has been “considerably elevated.”

If the patch notes ship on these modifications, it ought to dramatically enhance a prolonged endgame grind that has annoyed some gamers in its sluggishness, particularly when tackling the actions that have been meant to be grinded weren’t essentially the most environment friendly option to degree.

Diablo 4 arrived earlier this month and it has so far confirmed to be a serious hit for Blizzard. For extra protection, try our in depth map of Diablo 4’s Sanctuary.
