Item Bugs

Druids will have their loot tables fixed so that they see more Unique drops that are intended for their class. This issue will be resolved before Season 1.
World Boss Caches in World Tier 4 have required players to be level 80 in order to open. This will be changed as a part of the upcoming patch so that players will be able to open their earned Caches.

Disconnect Protection

The team acknowledges that there have been issues with characters dying when they should be invulnerable or during loading screens. These issues are being investigated and should be resolved soon.
If a player has The Scroll of Escape in their inventory when they disconnect, the game will consume the Scroll and safely teleport the player to town. This change is planned for Season 2.

Resistances and Stat Changes

Changes will be made to how Resistances are adjusted in higher World Tiers. This change is intended to make Resistance stats more desirable. This change is planned for Season 2.
The team has acknowledged that Resistances have been weaker compared to other damage mitigation stats, and they want Resistances to feel more significant.

Inventory Management

Starting in Season 2, Gems will be included in the Materials tab.
Material cap limits will be increased. This change will occur before Season 1.

Renown

The team is reevaluating what Renown systems will need to be repeated as a part of new Seasons.
The portion of the map that has been discovered in the Eternal Realm will remain discovered in Seasonal Realms. The Renown associated with these explorable areas will also be rewarded automatically to each new character.
Similarly, Altars of Lilith that have been previously discovered will remain discovered on future characters. The Renown associated with these Altars will also be earned automatically for all new characters.

Nightmare Dungeon Buffs

Nightmare Dungeons will reward more experience.
Nightmare Dungeon Sigils will now act as a fast travel item that will immediately take players to the chosen Nightmare Dungeon on use.
A Nightmare Dungeon Sigil will be able to be used immediately after the last Nightmare Dungeon has been completed.
These changes are planned to release before Season 1.

Dungeon Nerfs

While players have been spamming normal Dungeons in order to level quickly, the team has continued to nerf these Dungeons in order to lead players to the intended endgame content, such as Nightmare Dungeons
While these Dungeon nerfs were intended to make normal Dungeons more equal, the developers have ensured that buffs are coming.

Launch Overview

Diablo 4 has surpassed 350 million hours played.
A large Client Patch is planned, covering 13 pages of patch notes, including fixing additional performance issues.
The vast majority of Diablo 4 players have not yet completed the Campaign.

Comment by SilkGems should NOT be a material, there is literally no inventory management in this game and people should just get used to it. Gems are a non issue and the whiners expecting changes like this will only harm the game in the future.
Renown too, so what? You just instantly spawn in season 1 with a bunch of xp from the renown tiers? Why not just rework the renown requirements and remove any renown gained from exploring and altars, now that would actually make sense.
There's also several changes here that clearly wouldn't have happened if it weren't for streamers...
I am very concerned about the future of this game, it will likely become nothing but QoL out the ass.Comment by llloydGems should NOT be a material, there is literally no inventory management in this game and people should just get used to it.

Something like changing cache level requirement should be an overnight hotfix. There's so many things currently wrong that I just don't feel like playing till that major patch hits. Oh well, at least there is constantly something new in the skin shop!Comment by Actaeon7Renown too, so what? You just instantly spawn in season 1 with a bunch of xp from the renown tiers?
