Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.1 fills community with cautious optimism: \u201cI\u2019m stoked\u201d Blizzard \/ Diablo 4 WikiDiablo 4\u2019s Patch 1.1.1 finally received some detailed notes and the reception is uniquely positive. As far as Diablo 4 patches go anyway. Since the controversial implementation of Patch 1.1.0, Diablo 4 discourse has been decidedly negative. Blizzard aims to repair this with Patch 1.1.1 launching on August 8. The developer was so confident that what they\u2019re making would be well received that they published full notes for the patch on their blog five days ahead of its release. They seem to have learned some lessons after the recent backlash and it shows. The reception to the new patch is a far cry from the mass complaints and review bombing that accompanied the last one. Players of Diablo 4 have combed through the patch notes and there\u2019s a newfound optimism to their reaction. The primary goal of the patch was to address the abysmal performance of the Sorcerer and Barbarian classes. This has been well-received by players in the Diablo 4 Subreddit at least. \u201cAs a Chain Lightning Sorc\u2026 I\u2019m f***ing stoked,\u201d one Reddit user wrote. \u201cBuild was already fun enough pre-patch.\u201d \u201cSomeone tell me what to be angry about,\u201d another joked in light of the quality of the changes. \u201cHuge\u201d and \u201cW\u201d littered the comments below. The reaction wasn\u2019t entirely positive of course with some complaints regarding the rarity of powerful Wrathful Hearts. \u201cAll the hearts go away at the end of the season so I\u2019m not sure why they feel as rare as an uber-unique,\u201d a Twitter user protested. Diablo 4\u2019s Community Development Director Adam Fletcher responded to a similar complaint. \u201cYeah we\u2019ve been seeing this a bit from feedback,\u201d he said. \u201cTeam is discussing this a bit more here internally.\u201d Of course, all the positivity is purely speculative as Patch 1.1.1 doesn\u2019t launch for another five days. Only hands-on time will tell if the many buffs and fixes truly improve players\u2019 experience. Still, it definitely seems like a step in the right direction for Diablo 4 and the development team behind it. Patch 1.1.0 left a sour taste in the community\u2019s mouth but developers did promise \u201cWe don\u2019t plan on doing a patch like this ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
