We are entering the middle of a season and most hardcore players have finished their battle passes and seasonal chapters. In a recent developer chat, the developers revealed that they are working to introduce a series of new features to attract old players who may have been confused or alienated by the large number of changes the game has undergone since launch. This guide will provide a detailed introduction to these upcoming updates.

Welcome Back Pack

Starting on November 19th, when you first play Diablo 4 Eternal Realm, you will have the option to create a brand new character and instantly increase your level to level 50 by using Welcome Back pack.

For those who haven’t played the game since launch, this may not sound like a new thing. But it is worth noting that Diablo 4 now has a maximum level cap of 60, rather than the original 100. Therefore, this benefit is very attractive to old players who want to catch up quickly.

In addition, although all the equipment you have obtained before will still remain in your account, because of the reform of the item classification mechanism, many items obtained earlier may no longer be applicable or even marked as legacy items.

In order to help everyone better integrate into the current game environment, the Welcome Back pack also includes an entire set of new legendary items. These gears are carefully crafted based on one of the three most powerful builds for your chosen class, ensuring you can face the challenges ahead in the best possible condition without having to buy Diablo 4 Gold.

In addition, the character of each returning player will automatically unlock the complete skill tree and Altars of Lilith by default. These changes will make the entire game experience smoother and more enjoyable. And you will also be able to obtain the following items:

• 1 million gold
• 1000 Obols
• 1 Scroll of Amnesia
• Crafting materials

To upgrade your character, players can go to the city of Kyovashad and interact with Fated Reliquary in the city to unlock. If you already have an Eternal character that has reached level 50, after completing this step, you can still obtain precious legendary items and exclusive build options for the profession you play.

In addition, if you also own the Vessel of Hatred expansion, this powerful upgrade will allow you to upgrade two characters at the same time in Eternal Realm. Let you enjoy a higher level of game content and challenges.

Play Spiritborn Class For Free

The development team announced that from November 19th to December 2nd, all players who do not yet own Vessel of Hatred can try the newly launched Spiritborn for free and upgrade their characters to the maximum level 25. If you finally decide to get Vessel of Hatred expansion during this period, all the progress you have made in the game before will be retained.

This free trial event provides a great opportunity for players to try this new class, feel its unique skill tree and how it fits into the existing game environment. In addition, this also allows players who are hesitant to return to Diablo 4 to have enough time to evaluate whether they really like this new content before deciding whether it is worth paying for it.

It should be noted that according to current information, this event is only supported through Battle.net platform, so users who use host devices or run the game on Steam may not participate in this special event.

Red-Cloaked Horror

Starting at 1pm ET on November 19th and ending at 1pm ET on December 3rd, Red-Cloaked Horror will reappear in Helltide. Players may encounter it in Hellborne, Infernal Hordes and dungeons. You can use a sled to drag it to obtain Cinders, Burning Aether and other bonus items, depending on where you encounter it.

In addition, after successfully defeating Red-Cloaked Horror, you will also receive a Gileon’s Brew. This elixir not only increases your damage to all enemies by 20% but also makes defeated enemies drop herbs and other crafting materials more frequently, while increasing your experience by 15%.

In order to allow all participants to enjoy the fun of this festival, the official has also arranged a special welfare link - as long as you log in to the game and go to Midwinter Square in Kyovashad during the event, you can receive a unique onetime gift package.

Mothers Blessing Events

Mother’s Blessing event will run from November 19th to November 26th, and all players who participate will enjoy multiplicative experience and gold acquisition speed bonuses, which can be used in combination with other buffs.

For example, the aforementioned Gileon’s Brew, obtained by defeating Red-Cloaked Horror. This is undoubtedly a great opportunity for players who want to reach the 300-point paragon cap as soon as possible.

The development team will hold another campfire chat event on November 21st, and players can expect to hear more about the upcoming changes and the outlook for future seasons. Finally, if you have some better game strategies to share, you can follow Giveaway channel in IGGM discord, discuss with more players in the discord group, and there will often be information about Diablo 4 product giveaways.

In the campfire chat live broadcast held on November 12, the developers of Diablo 4 revealed a lot of updates and optimizations that may be made to the game in the future. There are both prospects for the seventh season and explanations of the upcoming mid-term patch.

Regarding the specific content of the mid-term patch, the game developers mentioned many aspects in the campfire chat, but the most concerned topic is undoubtedly Spiritborn. As a new class introduced in DLC, Spiritborn has become the first choice for players to play DLC and Season 6 because of its extraordinary strength since its appearance - maybe you are one of them.

Although this can give you a good combat experience through Spiritborn, from all perspective, it is obviously not fair to players who play other classes.

Although other classes can buy Diablo 4 Gold to exchange for more powerful equipment and weapons to make up for the gap with Spiritborn, this phenomenon undoubtedly destroys the balance of the game. Therefore, there have always been calls for weakening Spiritborn since the release of DLC.

Then I believe you must also want to know whether Diablo 4 will make adjustments to the strength of Spiritborn in the upcoming mid-term patch. So let us introduce it to you.

Spiritborn Will Not Be Weakened In The Short Term

In this campfire chat, game developers said that nearly 60% of players are currently using Spiritborn, causing the remaining five classes to have a significant decline in popularity. In contrast, the most popular Sorcerer in Season 5 only attracted about 30% of players.

There is no doubt that if you have also experienced Spiritborn, you will find that the reason it is so popular is that it is very fun to play and has strong combat power, which can help you knock down monsters at an amazing speed. In fact, all this is not intentional in the game developers. It may just be that they overlooked some factors when designing Spiritborn.

Diablo 4 has already fixed some bugs that caused Spiritborn to deal too much damage, one of which was that Spiritborn could continuously release powerful streams of charged feathers, which reduced the frame rate of other online players and affected the operation of the entire game system. Fortunately, the situation has been significantly improved after the fix.

There are no other obvious system bugs for Spiritborn at present, but because of the unintentional synergy between its skills, Spiritborn is still much more powerful than a normal class should be. Given this, you might guess that Diablo 4 will give Spiritborn a proper nerf in the mid-term patch, but in fact it is not the case.

In the campfire chat, the game developers said that they will not nerf Spiritborn in the middle of Season 6, but use this patch to increase the damage output of other classes, making the competition between classes more fair than in the past.

Of course, this overall enhancement did not skip Spiritborn. While Spiritborn buffs are small compared to the buffs for other classes, this patch will buff the skills of the class that you don’t use often, which will help you develop more Spiritborn builds.

What Will Spiritborn Look Like In Season 7?

While the game’s developers have said that one goal of the mid-season patch is to raise the minimum standard for all classes, they also said that further adjustments will be made in Season 7 to bring Spiritborn level closer to that of all other classes.

Diablo 4 class designer Adam Jackson claims that in Season 7, the game will fix all unexpected interactions in Spiritborn. So you can enjoy Spiritborn, which is still very powerful now, while you look forward to Spiritborn in Season 7.

Although Diablo 4 has not yet revealed the specific changes to Spiritborn in Season 7, or given a clear range of the reduction in Spiritborn’s damage output that you might accept, you will have a chance to preview these changes before Season 7 begins.

Because after Thanksgiving, Diablo 4 will launch a PTR for you to test the upcoming Spiritborn nerfs. We currently expect Season 7 to be launched on the game’s main servers around mid-January, and Diablo 4 developers will also share more details about PTR in another live broadcast at some point next week.

Whatever adjustments Spiritborn gets, they are sure to cause some controversy. After all, it is difficult to please everyone. Since the upcoming changes are designed to fix Spiritborn’s unexpected interactions, you may experience a slightly nerfed Spiritborn later, and the situation in Season 7 may not be worse than this.

However, there are still a few months to go before Season 7, so you might as well enjoy the still-powerful Spiritborn class now and accumulate enough game materials to prepare for the new changes that will appear in Diablo 4 later.
