Then there is the official new video, this time the development team will tell the following about the design of the game’s final game
- After completing the story mission, let yourself challenge the difficulty of a higher world level by completing the advanced dungeon. The higher the world tier, the more loot and advantages your character can gain.
- There are even more opportunities in the pinnacle system, allowing players to go beyond the initial skill tree, further optimize the character, and create a unique configuration. Depending on your playstyle, choose a path, and the perks and glyphs you want to pursue.
- Find the essence hidden in dungeons and incorporate it into your tome of power. This allows you to transform items you find in the world into more powerful legendary items.
- Sanctuary has over 120 dungeons, each of which can be turned into a nightmare dungeon. Use the Nightmare Emblem to activate the Nightmare version of the dungeon, adding more difficult objectives and challenges for players to conquer.
- There are more powerful monsters wandering around Sanctuary, waiting to challenge players who have completed the plot tasks. Defeating these monsters in the Hellwave area collects shards, which can be used to purchase premium prizes in chests.
- Go to the Tree of Whispers to collect the Whispers of the Dead. Whenever players complete a bounty mission, they can return to the Tree of Whispers to receive a high-level reward chest.
- If you want to test yourself in a duel with other players, players can go to the Field of Hatred. In this PvP area, you can choose to engage in player-vs-player combat, or complete quests to collect shards and take them to the town to purify. Possession of the Purified Fragment is rewarding, but all players in the Fields of Hate are in danger, facing a group of players who want to PvP.
- Diablo IV is a perpetual service game that will continue to be updated after release.
The official has announced that there will be a developer live broadcast at 2:00 am on April 21, Taiwan time. It will demonstrate the content of the game’s final game, and answer some questions raised by players during the Beta period, as well as the corresponding methods.
