Malignant Tunnel Dungeons

Season of the Malignant also features a new set of dungeons for Diablo4 known as Malignant Tunnels. These are intended to be shorter dungeons than usual and are somewhere between a standard dungeon and a OSRS gold cellar in length. These are particularly good locations for farming Malignant Hearts, and they aren't affected by the Nightmare system.

They also aren't simple reskins of existing dungeons, so players won't end up revisiting the exact same locations as before. It's within these tunnels that players can encounter Varshan the Consumed, the season's primary boss. Few details have been revealed ahead of the season's release, but it is known that Varshan will become increasingly more powerful as the season progresses.

A Diablo 4 player has pointed out that World Tiers 3 and 4 in the game are now level capped. Apparently, this information was also excluded from the Diablo 4 Season 4 patch released yesterday, which has left many fans disappointed.

World Tiers in Diablo 4 allow players to scale up the difficulty in the game to get improved loot, XP, and gold. When the game launched last month, players had to finish the campaign and scale up to level 50 to access the Capstone dungeon for World Tier 3. Once the players got access to Tier 3, a quest marker showed up for the World Tier 4 Capstone dungeon almost instantly, which players could complete directly after level 50. However, it seems that players have to be a certain level to access a higher World Tier now following the release of the Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.0a, which the community isn't really happy about.

Diablo 4 Dev Comments on Aberrant Cinder Drop Rate Change

In a post on the Diablo 4 subreddit, user Meryhathor posted a forums link that said players cannot enter Tier 3 without being level 50, and Tier 4 required them to be level 70. However, user the-true-steel commented that this information wasn't fully accurate. With the help of a streamer's VOD, they explained how completing the Capstone dungeon for Tier 3 at level 37 restricted the streamer from accessing it, but it worked when they tried to do the same at level 40. Another user commented saying that the Tier 4 Capstone dungeon shows up as a priority quest when the player scales up to level 60.

Most of the players in the comments seemed to agree that level 40 and 60 are the level requirements for progressing World Tiers, but many were still enraged by Blizzard's decision to do so. While this solved one problem for Blizzard where players could farm Tier 4 XP and loot at lower levels by getting higher level players to carry them, the latest patch reduced the XP gains from enemies at lower World Tiers in Diablo 4. For instance, the monster levels will always trail the player's level by 5 until the Tier 3 monster level 70 is reached. This means that players will now have to grind even more to reach higher Tiers, which wasn't the case before Season 4.

Apart from this change, Blizzard also made several other changes that didn't sit well with fans. For instance, while making big changes to certain gameplay mechanics, players' existing gear and weapons in Diablo 4 were also secretly nerfed. Additionally, Sorcerer mains were unhappy with the latest Unique weapon for the class, which seems to not be very useful according to many. Thankfully, Blizzard has mentioned that it is evaluating player feedback and will address the concerns in a Campfire Chat on July 21.

Diablo 4 is being review bombed again, this time by fans of the game who are upset about the changes made in the recent update. Diablo 4 earned acclaim from critics when it first launched, but hardcore fans have had a dicier relationship with the action-RPG. This led to the game being review bombed on review aggregate site Metacritic shortly after launch, with disgruntled fans dragging its user score down considerably.

The first Diablo 4 review bombing effort saw the game's user score drop all the way to an abysmal 4.8 rating, a far cry from the 87 overall score that it secured from critics at the time. This initial review bombing was the result of fans upset about Diablo 4's server issues in its early days, its microtransactions, and live service nature. Fans seemed to warm up to the game after that rocky start, but now it seems that public opinion has taken another turn for the worse.

Diablo 4 Dev Comments on Aberrant Cinder Drop Rate ChangeDiablo 4's Metacritic page has now been flooded with over 100 more negative user reviews from fans who are not happy about the changes made in the latest update. For the uninitiated, Blizzard recently released a new update for Diablo 4 that effectively nerfed all the classes across the board and made a variety of other changes that have not sat well with fans. The backlash to the Diablo 4 update has been so severe that Blizzard has announced plans to host a special Campfire Chat to address concerns this coming Friday, July 21.

The ongoing review bombing effort has seen Diablo 4's user score drop to 4.0. The PC version of the game has over 2,000 negative user reviews at the time of this writing, versus just 980 positive reviews and Cheap RS gold 265 mixed reviews. These numbers change with almost every refresh of the page, so it's unlikely that the current Diablo 4 review bombing effort is over yet. In fact, with Diablo 4 Season 4 not starting until July 20, it seems likely that the review bombing effort will continue for at least a couple more days.
