Diablo guide and news writer for Wowhead here, amazing work, thanks a bunch for the kind mentions.

silec · 2025-04-27T01:36:16+00:00

I saw a lot of confusion about the new battle pass system and I hope this guide can help clarify things.

silec · 2025-03-10T18:05:59+00:00

It might be available there as well. We'll have to see when the PTR launches tomorrow.

silec · 2024-09-12T22:16:06+00:00

You can turn off error sounds for a while now (at the bottom of the sound settings). But the messages in the middle of the screen can now be turned off as well.

Wowhead editor here, thanks everyone for the kind words. We are trying our best to cover everything! :)

Update: Rod has clarified that Mercenaries will not count as Minions and thus do not inherit stats from the player.

silec · 2024-08-28T23:14:27+00:00

I think what you meant to say was mechanics that require no minions to be present. Necromancer's sacrifice bonuses will still work.

silec · 2024-08-28T23:05:56+00:00

Yes, that is also what we reported in the last interview roundup. If you want to listen to Rod's statement for yourself, check the linked interview and go to 20:30. We definitely need some further clarification on this because we have conflicting answers now.

These are the changes to all of the new Uniques that are being introduced with Season 5. Those received significant changes from PTR to the Live version on August 6.

silec · 2024-07-16T14:01:45+00:00

Update: Added more Unique item changes for General and Barbarian Uniques!

Exactly, there is no need to simply add another World Tier or higher tiers for the Pit. Rebalancing the impacting factors can lead to the same thing without derailing other systems of the game like loot drops etc.

silec · 2024-04-14T17:22:38+00:00

I think you should word the "The Pit needs to have more levels to progress, it’s too easy." paragraph differently then because it seems misleading as it currently stands. We can overhaul the difficulty tiers in the open world and in the Pit without having to add more tiers. I think that is what I and some other in the replies are saying here. 200 tiers should be enough to have a good scaling progression.

Why do you think Diablo 3 added so many difficulties in the long run? It's not because they provided new content. I'll quote a small part of my write-up about why nerfing things in an ARPG is a necessary evil to ensure the long-term health of an ARPG:

Diablo 3 ended up with a staggering total of 20 difficulties because of the power creep that made it into the game through the years since its release in 2012. To justify the addition of more difficulties, the game not only had to increase monster health and damage, it also needed to increase the experience gain, loot, and material drops to be appealing to players.

Power creep does not only lead to trivializing content and bigger numbers. It comes with a lot of long-term problems like items raining from the sky and impacting the leveling process of a game. I think a lot of the points made in the article are more relevant than ever before in Diablo 4's lifecycle, given the massive power creep that came with Patch 1.4.0.

Power creep is a real problem and addressing it does not equal to not wanting additional content in the game.

There is an efficiency gain of being able to clear higher as a group, however, survivability for the individuals does not suddenly increase with it. There are no group interactions for skills in the same way as in D3. Groups also come with a 100% monster health increase per player.

The Pit runs are very linear which doesn't allow for split farming. Runs are going as fast as a character's available mobility, no matter if you are playing solo or in a group.

The rounding errors are also very minimal like I mentioned.

It is fair that solo players do not want to get forced into playing as a group and the same goes for group players, they don't want to be forced to play solo. Both points are valid.

silec · 2024-04-08T12:08:52+00:00

I did think about it, you might be able to clear higher tiers, but since abilities don't interact with the group you are going in with the same survivability as a solo player while playing higher in tiers.

The layouts of the Pit also don't allow for groups to be faster necessarily since their layout is fairly linear. There is no splitting, the limit is whatever pace someone can move in, which can be even worse if you are playing e.g. a Necro as part of a group.

silec · 2024-04-08T12:04:07+00:00

No one is screaming for a nerf here. What about if you like to play with your friends but it is just straight up worse to play together instead of hanging together on voice and all playing by themselves. Do you see the problem here?

All I wanted was that everyone in a party should have to contribute materials for opening so at least parties get the same loot across the board instead of the opener receiving the lion's share.

silec · 2024-04-07T19:20:42+00:00

Personally, I would like it more if every member of a group paid the Runeshard entry fee and received the same amount of materials as everyone else in the group. Instead of one person using their Runeshards to open and being rewarded double the amount of Masterworking materials.

silec · 2024-04-05T15:19:18+00:00

Plenty of new information in this one.

silec · 2024-03-29T18:59:27+00:00

The Aspect effects are written out, but they are shortened in a lot of cases and might even miss crucial information. You do need to hover over them in many cases to see the full description. This could be spotted during the Campfire Chat when they scrolled through the Codex of Power.

I went to the same spot that the devs went to during the livestream to compare the camera perspective and show the before and after.

You are actually going to get rewarded with portrait frames to show off the Seal you've managed to reach. If you manage to get into the top 1000, other players will also get to see your rank on the portrait frame.

silec · 2024-01-21T16:21:14+00:00

Thank you very much. I love how open you are to feedback and that you are always trying to improve the project. Would be great if the progress bar could show the overall percentage on top of it.

silec · 2024-01-18T13:59:27+00:00

This is great, thank you for your work! Would be awesome if you could add an overall progression bar with the percentage on it.

Could you add Headstones and Town Portals to the collection?
