What Did Diablo 4 Preview About Season 9 In The Compfire Chat On May 22?

Diablo 4 held a Campfire Chat to introduce the content of Season 9 and PTR on May 22. The following is a summary of the content of Campfire Chat, both good and bad.

About Upgrading

The upgrade process in Season 9 seems to continue the process of Season 8. D4 seems to be very satisfied with the changes they made since Season 7: from level 1 to level 25, and then from level 25 to level 60. This method will continue on Season 9.

Class Balance

The Best Class Build

Diablo 4 is very satisfied with the balance between classes adjusted in Season 8. They believe that no season has a better class balance than this season. At the same time, they believe that with a few exceptions, the diversity of class builds in the game is very satisfactory.

Complete All Content

They hope that players can build and complete all content in a season. Indeed, players should be able to complete the relevant content of the game in a season.

Different classes build at different speeds, and players progress differently. Some classes may build faster, and players progress differently. Let’s look forward to the results of Season 9.

Overpower Is Weakened

In S8, there was an overpower that could completely suppress the opponent, but in S9, this overpower is expected to be weakened, so now enjoy this ability to completely suppress the enemy.

Improve Resistance

D4 plans to increase Resistance from 70 to 75, which is not only to help us defend in the game, but also to improve our game thinking. We must spend more Affixes to improve Resistance.

Nerfs And Improvements

Diablo 4 weakened almost all the good stuff in S8, but this is very common because they basically do this every season, weakening the good stuff of the previous season.

But they will also improve the stuff that was originally not well, such as Rogue’s Flurry skill.

I don’t know what they will adjust in Season 9, but weakening good stuff and making bad stuff okay seems to be a game adjustment.

D4 is now very satisfied with the balance of all classes, and I don’t know what adjustments they will make in the next season.

Drop Rate Adjustment

In the game, the drop rate of Ancestral items, legendary runes, legendary tributes and other Diablo 4 items will increase with Torment Tier.

New System PTR

The purpose of this 2.3.0 Public Test Realm (PTR) is to test before the release of Season 9: Sins of the Horadrim. It will be open from May 27 to June 3. Players will have the opportunity to experience some changes and features released in the next season, and put forward opinions and feedback to help Diablo 4 create a better Season 9.

In this 2.3.0PTR, there is a preview of some of the next season’s content:

• Customize Powerful Horadric Spells
• Explore Horadric Strongrooms
• Survive the Escalating Nightmares
• Run it Back with Astaroth
• Dungeon Content for all Realms
• Horadric Jewels
• New Unique Items
• Features Offered for Testing
• How to Provide Feedback
• How to Install the PTR
• 2.3.0 Patch Notes

Focus on optimizing Endgame experience, and adjust through classes, add new game mechanics to further enhance the player’s controllability, but the randomness of equipment has not changed.

This Campfire Chat previews future content and is also a communication channel between players and Diablo 4, reflecting its attention to community opinions.
