Blizzard is about to release Diablo 4's season 6 and the new DLC--Vessel of Hatred in October. Along with the new expansion pack comes the new 2.0 patch. Players can enjoy these updates even if they don't buy the DLC, just like Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0. Interestingly, this update is only two months away from their last update. This may be related to the public beta of Path of Exile 2 in November.
In the new patch pack, there are many new contents. The upper limit of the game level will be reduced from level 100 to level 60, but Blizzard said that the reduction in level does not mean that the upgrade speed will be slower. On the contrary, each upgrade will be more meaningful. Let's explain this part in detail below.
After reaching level 60, players will no longer upgrade, and instead will have a new level - Paragon. When your Paragon level reaches a certain level, you can unlock additional Paragon skill nodes, and there are ten such nodes. However, the change brought about by this is that your health, mana and other core attributes will be weakened.
Additional updates also have changes in difficulty, and the new update brings new difficulty levels. Now players can choose standard difficulty and torture difficulty, which are divided into four levels. Standard difficulty is divided into: Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent, and torture difficulty is divided into Torment 1 to Torment 4. Each increase in difficulty will make your gold and XP drop more. If you don't want to challenge too high difficulty, but want to get more D4 Gold and Items, you can also choose to Buy D4 Items.
In the 2.0 patch, Runewords are new effects that players who purchase DLC can get. Of course, you can try it in the PTR test. For more content, you can look forward to Blizzard's live broadcast on October 2nd. They will start live broadcasts on Twitch, X and Youtube, and you can go to watch it at that time.
