Hey Barbarian friends - Pull up a chair. It's story time.
Bash is still multiplicative and the notes are being updated.
Nothing was changed for this and was actually an attempt from the team to fix a tooltip issue. Fixing this tooltip issue caused a multiplicative scaling issue which we experienced internally but no one else actually saw. We fixed that issue, but it accidentally landed in public notes.
We are updating the notes to reflect this. Bash stays the same (and is still multiplicative).
You may now continue shouting at the minions of hell and not about Bash. 🗣️

I want to emphasize that our focus in Season 4 is what we see as the soul of a Diablo game, its systems. We have a host of changes coming to itemization, endgame, and classes for both Eternal and Seasonal players. Stay tuned for more details in the patch notes next week! 2/2

Just a friendly PSA from the #Diablo4 team here
Hang onto unused Uber Uniques. The team has some plans for something in a future patch which we will share soon, but figured this heads up was warranted for those that may have some Uber Uniques they aren't utiliziing.

Later this evening we will be updating #DiabloIV with a client patch on all platforms. This patch will be addressing some feedback we have been hearing on the Seneschal Construct, Vaults & Arcane Tremors and the Echo of Malphus.
Patch notes are linked below. news.blizzard.com/en-us/diab…
Separately we have another patch planned for late next week, but we are aiming to have those notes available for players a few days prior for players to check out.
Thanks again everyone for the feedback. We will send out a note when this patch tonight is available for download.

It's cool to see players diving into #DiabloIV Season 3! We can't wait to launch Trials later in the Season. We're carefully reviewing feedback, especially from folks who have played many hours already, and we've agreed on several things that can be improved. More details soon

Happy holidays from the Diablo Team! Just don't try to put any festive hats on Duriel. We tried already and it did not go well.
Duriel is feeling the holiday spirit 🎁
To help all those looking for that special piece of gear, Duriel Uber Unique drop rates are being doubled through January 8th.
More on this and other updates in today's hotfix: us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d4…

The team is prepping a hotfix for #DiabloIV this week that will address some feedback regarding difficulty around collecting Living Steel and Living Steel chests disappearing in Helltides.
This hotfix will also help out with those on progression blockers in the season journey.
