Blizzard has swiftly responded to the negative feedback surrounding Diablo 4’s season 3, Season of the Construct, by implementing a major patch just a week after its launch. The patch addresses several key concerns raised by players, aiming to enhance the overall gaming experience.

The changes in the patch include adjustments to the level and health pool of Malphas – Echo of Malphas, as well as alterations to the currency used to summon Malphas. Additionally, unique stone drop rates have been doubled, and more legendary items and 925 items have been introduced. The Seneschal has also undergone modifications, with crafting stones now consistently costing 200 stone and 20 iron chunks, and stones being granted as rewards from Whispers. Furthermore, the patch has made significant improvements to Vaults and Arcane Tremors, such as an increase in the number of Zoltun’s Warding stacks and a higher chance of obtaining legendary items from Heralds of Malphus.

These changes aim to address the issues players have encountered, particularly in relation to the reward system and the challenges posed by maintaining Zoltun’s Warding stacks in vaults. While the patch has successfully tackled several concerns, some players feel that the Seneschal remains underwhelming, as it did not receive any substantial buffs in this update. However, the rapid response from Blizzard in implementing these fixes reflects their commitment to enhancing the gameplay experience for Diablo 4 players.

It is evident that Blizzard is dedicated to addressing player feedback and continuously improving the game, despite the recent layoffs within the company. The quick turnaround in implementing these fixes demonstrates their responsiveness to the community’s concerns, and players can anticipate further updates and enhancements to Diablo 4 in the near future.
