Dungeons, Glyphs, and bugs oh my! Here’s everything you can expect to see on December 5 in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4: December 5 Update, Full Patch Notes Listed

It’s the moment we’ve all been grinding for. The pinnacle dungeon, Abattoir of Zir, is finally releasing! And glyphs are finally being buffed, meaning that Nightmare Dungeon grinding won’t be as much of a slog. So, let’s jump right in.

GAMEPLAY UPDATES

Developer’s Note:After reviewing gameplay data and player feedback, we recognized that completing higher Nightmare Tiers was not as rewarding as we initially hoped for, with many players stopping their journey after reaching Tier 50. The experience increase to Glyphs at higher Tiers was made with the intent of incentivizing players to push their builds, making their arrival at Tier 100 feel that much more fulfilling. We will monitor how this change in experience pans out for players and encourage you to provide us with any feedback you have around this system.

Accessibility

Season of Blood

Developer’s Note: A previous Hotfix allowed players to walk through Blood Wells to access Potent Blood. This change reverts the ability to walk through Blood Wells, but in exchange, Potent Blood will no longer spawn in the middle of Blood Wells so it can be easily picked up.

User Interface and User Experience

Developer’s Note: If they choose to play through the Campaign, players that haven’t yet unlocked Mounts must complete the Donan’s Favor quest to unlock them. If the campaign is skipped, you must reach Level 25 before unlocking Mounts. The tooltip previously mentioned Quest completion only, which is irrelevant when skipping the Campaign.
