8 Biggest Changes In Diablo 4

Blizzard has been dropping regular development updates about Diablo 4. This game will release on June 6, 2023, and is the next entry iconic and highly influential RPG series. What’s more, the developer has gone a step further to change how some pivotal systems in the series work. And some of these quality-of-life improvements have perhaps made the biggest splash in how players can approach their endgame builds. So in this article, we will show you some of the most significant changes we’ve found in our hands-on experience with the Diablo 4 beta.

Socketing Items Is No Longer Randomized

Diablo 4 will let players add sockets to gear in a way that is no longer randomized. Unlike Diablo 3, where you would need to re-roll passives on items to obtain sockets potentially, players can instead just speak to a Jeweler to add to their gear. It will only cost a bit of gold and a Scattered Prism. This system is arguably much easier than how it appeared in Diablo 3 and will allow players to create early-game builds a bit easier.

Removing and Applying Aspects

Aspects are essentially what makes your gear unique in Diablo 4. They can be added to your gear to give it a passive that will upgrade your ability, increase your defensive capability, improve your damage output, or provide you with extra mobility. But what makes it unique in Diablo 4 is the ability to remove and apply Aspects with ease. This means the passive you love on a Legendary item won’t go to waste once a better piece of gear drops, which eliminates a level of randomness found in previous games.

Upgrading Items

Items can be further enhanced in Diablo 4, and players can now boost the stats of their gear through the upgrade system. It only costs a bit of Diablo 4 Gold and can give you that slight stat boost to keep your weapons relevant as you progress through the game — this is particularly great for players who find themselves attached to a certain item and want to hold off on swapping out a Legendary for a Rare item with only significantly better stats.

New Transmog System

A true cosmetic system has finally appeared in Diablo 4. Instead of running back to town to transmogrify any shiny new piece of gear that drops on the ground, you can effectively create sets out of armor and weapons you’ve salvaged at the blacksmith that will override any item you slap on. Additionally, players can dye these individual pieces of armor free of charge, with the first outfit slot also free.

Timed World Bosses

In Diablo 4, World Bosses are encountered in open-world areas and consist of multi-stage battles. Each World Boss has its own monster level. Players have to work together to defeat them. But keep in mind; players only have fifteen minutes to defeat the World Boss; upon doing so they will be rewarded a plethora of Legendary items, making these encounters the best way to gear up.

World Event Quests

The World Events in Diablo 4 are marked on your minimap as bright orange circles to differentiate them from main quests and sidequests. When you reach the area, the type of task and requirements will be displayed. While Diablo 3 did have something similar in its Adventure Mode that allowed for players to enter randomly spawned dungeons at the behest of errant NPCs, Diablo 4 takes this in a broader direction.

More Cinematic Cutscenes

While the Diablo series has no shortage of visually impressive cutscenes, especially for the time period in which each respective game was released, Diablo 4 has a surprising number of beautifully rendered in-game cutscenes. Unlike Diablo 3, where most of the story was told through stylized motion graphics or the scant but effective cinematics found in Diablo 2, Diablo 4’s cutscenes make players feel more involved in the action through having a fully voiced and animated character in these scenes.

Use A Standard Dodge

Diablo 4’s dodge is now just an active ability like any other. While this doesn’t sound like a huge change, players will no longer need to wait to unlock a dodge or dash or dedicate space on their hotbar or ability points to use one. Instead, everyone is given a single dodge which evens the playing field when it comes to overall maneuverability.

These are just some of the biggest changes we found in Diablo 4 during its beta period, but we’re almost certain that there will be even more once the game releases in full. Let us know in the comments what your favorite changes to Diablo 4 have been.
