1272s	hello everyone I'm here to tell you
1274s	about a new endgame event called the
1277s	abire of zir and the return of a few
1279s	malignant Powers my name is Ruben I go
1282s	by Bloodshed in the community some of
1284s	you might already know me I'm here today
1286s	with Alex Yang a systems G designer and
1289s	Adam Jackson the lead live class
1291s	designer for all of Diablo 4 the avire
1294s	of zir is an endgame Pinnacle dungeon
1297s	event built into Diablo I they're meant
1299s	to be really challenging for the player
1302s	the way it works is it's a complete race
1304s	against the clock you jump in Kill as
1306s	many demons as you can fill up that
1308s	progress bar once complete a boss will
1311s	spawn kill the boss do this all before
1313s	the timer runs out you will not be able
1315s	to enter until you complete all seven TI
1318s	years of your season Journey event but
1320s	once this task is finished go ahead and
1322s	head over to the occultist a new recipe
1324s	will be available for a blood Forge
1326s	sigil so you're going to want to go
1327s	ahead and craft one use it consume it
1330s	once consumed a portal will open up in
1332s	Ked bardu it's a big blood portal you'll
1335s	be fine just just go in there don't
1337s	worry about it by completing the
1339s	abattoir of zir dungeon you will now
1340s	earn a brand new Tears of Blood glyph
1344s	this incredibly strong item boosts rare
1347s	nodes within its range but different to
1349s	nightmare dungeons it has a cap 10 times
1352s	bigger than normal sigils so I'm curious
1354s	just how high players can get it to this
1356s	season you will also get a recipe to
1358s	craft a blood Forge sigil one tier
1361s	higher than what you just completed at
1362s	the
1365s	occultist for some questions I'm
1367s	accompanied by Alex Yang a systems
1369s	designer for Diablo 4 uh Question Time
1372s	Alex what's the highest level I can get
1374s	a blood forged sigil to so the sigil and
1377s	dungeon both go up to tier 25 but this
1379s	covers a much wider difficulty range
1381s	than you might be used to from 25 tiers
1382s	of something like a nightmare dungeon by
1384s	condensing this large difficulty curve
1386s	down to only 25 tiers we want to make
1388s	sure that each tier feels like a
1389s	meaningful goal that you can strive for
1390s	on its own that's awesome uh when can we
1393s	expect to play it the abire of Zer goes
1395s	live on December 5th 2023 in patch
1398s	1.2.3 as a pinnacle endgame challenge we
1401s	want to make sure that you have enough
1402s	time to prepare your ideal character for
1403s	it so this is around two months into the
1405s	season with one month to go for you to
1407s	push it to its limits afterwards the
1409s	Thematic event will end but you will
1411s	have larger leaderboards to look forward
1412s	to coming in season 3 awesome Alex thank
1415s	you for your time I appreciate the
1416s	information and I'm sure the community
1418s	does as well enough about zir another
1421s	amazing feature being added to the
1422s	season of blood is the return and rework
1425s	of some malignant powers that players
1428s	really seem to enjoy you can expect to
1430s	find five different unique rings that
1432s	harness the power of the malignant to
1434s	recap malignant Powers were a boost in a
1437s	previous season that granted you various
1439s	abilities in the season of blood though
1441s	you can expect to find five of these
1443s	powers in unique rings that harness the
1445s	power of the malignant starting November
1448s	7th now a good amount of those malignant
1450s	powers are incredibly strong the DIA
1453s	team are reworking and bringing these
1454s	powers back but with a healthy balance
1457s	in mind for the long term one of these
1459s	in particular is a fan favorite the
1461s	sacrus this ring if you don't remember
1464s	will AutoCast all your corpse skills but
1466s	will have a separate cooldown for each
1468s	skill cast Ray skeleton and corpse
1470s	explosion cast every 1 to 2 seconds
1472s	where corpse tendrils can be cast every
1474s	8 to 16 seconds I didn't get a chance to
1477s	play Necromancer I know sadly um in the
1480s	season of malignant so I'm excited I'm
1482s	stoked to Jump Right In barbarians you
1484s	remember Focus raged well it's now
1486s	called fur after spending 100 Fury
1489s	within 3 seconds your next Hammer of the
1491s	Ancients upheaval or death blow is
1494s	guaranteed to crit and do more damage
1496s	smash very good for Rogues the trickery
1499s	power will make a return when you use
1500s	the subu skill leave behind a trap that
1503s	taunts enemies and explodes demons to
1506s	pieces sorceresses can obtain the power
1509s	of T Rasha himself gaining increased
1511s	damage for each element you deal damage
1514s	with and Druids we got to rename here in
1517s	exorable force is now called in exorable
1519s	will so when you cast your ultimate
1521s	skill you pull up to 30 enemies toward
1524s	you and deal damage it's so great to see
1526s	these malignant Powers return
1528s	it's just more tools to build with and
1531s	I'm I'm all for
1535s	it all right Adam I hope you're ready to
1537s	sink your teeth into some of these
1539s	questions yeah totally I'm excited to
1541s	get into it let's do it I got to ask
1543s	well all the malignant Powers eventually
1546s	make a return to the game yeah we have
1547s	no current plans to bring back every
1549s	single bant power but we are taking a
1551s	look at what players love and we're very
1553s	open to the idea of bring back fan
1555s	favorites well I want all of them so
1558s	where can I find them yeah so you can
1560s	start finding these Powers when you get
1562s	into World tier 3 and if you want to
1563s	Target Farm them then you'll be able to
1565s	get them off of our Sean Target farming
1567s	is like one of the coolest features in
1569s	Diablo 4 so I love that we have the
1571s	ability to do that will every seasonal
1573s	theme also make their way back into the
1575s	game yeah that's a good question it's
1578s	likely you're not going to see every
1579s	single part of a seasonal theme come
1581s	back into Diablo 4 but we're definitely
1583s	taking a look at what parts of these
1584s	themes resonate with players and we're
1587s	we're open to the idea of kind of
1589s	bringing back the things that people
1590s	really love to improve the game
1591s	experience for everyone all this sounds
1594s	absolutely phenomenal thank you so much
1596s	for your time yeah thank you hope you
1598s	enjoy your time in sanctuary I'll see
1600s	you in sanctuary That Just About Does it
1602s	for today shout out to you guys for
1604s	watching all the way through we
1605s	appreciate it and I'll see you in
1607s	sanctuary hello welcome Dia 4 Community
1611s	to another episode of Diablo 4 campfire
1614s	chats my name is Adam Fletcher I am the
1617s	director of community here for Diablo of
1619s	course I'm joined by two very familiar
1621s	faces here uh Mr Joe shell game director
1624s	of Diablo 4 Mr Joe pipor who is the
1627s	associate game director for Diablo 4 we
1629s	have a a quick stream kind of quick
1632s	stream to go over some some stuff that's
1634s	coming down the road here uh in the next
1636s	couple weeks uh which includes uh Avatar
1639s	zir and midwinter blight uh so lots to
1643s	talk about um what but what's kind of
1645s	cool about this stream is that it's uh
1647s	it is our final stream of the year the
1649s	final stream of 2023 we're closing it
1651s	out we're closing it out and this is
1653s	actually um it's been a year now since
1656s	we started these streams we started with
1658s	uh Diablo 4 uh developer up uh updates
1661s	uh on was it mid December last year I
1665s	believe so we're hitting a one-year
1667s	anniversary now and of course uh on that
1669s	Deb stream I had these two wonderful
1671s	gentlemen who joined us as well so yeah
1674s	we uh we have all it's been a year it's
1676s	crazy we've all grown so much I know we
1678s	went from hand models to holding maps
1680s	and things like that to uh campfire
1683s	chats which we even brought to BlizzCon
1685s	which was actually really cool last
1686s	month and of course uh now we're here to
1690s	talk about appar of's year um but before
1693s	we actually do jump into that I know uh
1696s	there is a very popular question within
1699s	chat and a very popular question within
1702s	the community that we want to address
1704s	before we jump in uh which is um is
1707s	Diablo for bringing pay for power to the
1712s	game yeah no we not um we've been very
1716s	clear about this throughout uh very and
1719s	I think very consistent about it and
1721s	that continues to be true um and that
1723s	that also applies to things like um
1726s	addressing uh stash uh uh making sure
1729s	that players have enough stash space to
1731s	store things we talked about this at
1733s	BlizzCon we talked about getting aspects
1735s	out of your stash inventory we had a
1737s	Dash tab in season 2 we think that
1740s	having uh enough space for a a regular
1743s	player to feel like they are good in
1746s	terms of being able to store the things
1747s	they need is Baseline functionality yeah
1750s	and we have no plans to add uh any pay
1752s	for power to the game yeah it's been a a
1755s	very popular question this week and of
1756s	course we've been seeing it a lot in
1758s	chat even as we're we were in our
1760s	countdown we wanted to make sure we
1762s	talked about it early with everyone to
1765s	reassure people that no that is not the
1767s	plan for four uh and players are still
1770s	going to be able to enjoy it without the
1771s	need of of needing to pay for for any
1774s	type of power or anything like that so
1777s	and there won't be any of that in there
1778s	so great to hear uh and I know that we
1781s	have a lot to talk about today the first
1783s	thing we did want to mention though uh
1785s	is actually um midwinter blight which is
1787s	an event uh that is actually going to be
1789s	coming up here on December 12th uh it is
1792s	our holiday event it's actually our
1794s	first holiday event it's funny cuz
1796s	people have asked us about you know hey
1798s	what about Halloween where and you know
1800s	we kind of remind people that like
1802s	season of blood is kind of
1804s	Halloween it's it's very much focused in
1806s	around Vamp vampires it's got
1808s	Skellington I mean it's got all the same
1810s	stuff you expect to get from a Halloween
1812s	exactly exactly so midwinter blight
1814s	coming December 12th uh is our holiday
1817s	event that we uh talked about and we
1819s	announced at BlizzCon but we wanted to
1821s	talk a little bit more about that today
1824s	uh Joe um can you give us a little bit
1826s	more info Joe
1828s	yeah sure so yeah midwinter blight as I
1830s	know that people got a chance to see the
1832s	some of the video stuff before and like
1834s	we talked about it BlizzCon but Mid
1835s	Winter blood is obviously our first like
1838s	true and proper you know holiday event
1840s	we're BR to sanctuary in Diablo I uh in
1842s	it you know we're going to be visiting
1844s	the fracture Peaks again where a like a
1846s	horrible storm has like descended upon
1848s	the people of the yeah here we are the
1850s	has descended upon the people of the
1851s	fracture Peaks now we're going to be
1853s	introduced to a uh a new character named
1856s	Gillian like a who's a bar you know
1858s	Gillian is here trying to like Rouse the
1860s	spirits of the people of kashad trying
1862s	to help them work together to push back
1864s	against you know a new threat that's
1866s	emerging from like the hills and
1867s	mountains nearby coming down uh you know
1870s	from the glacier and down from the you
1871s	know the mountainous Peaks nearby so Joe
1874s	can I trust this guy though because I
1876s	don't have a good track record with
1878s	musicians in I think that anyone that
1880s	plays music in the fractur Peaks is
1881s	generally trustworthy so I think that
1883s	you're going to be looking a little
1884s	sketch there trusted all those f I I
1888s	don't think that's fair to those of us
1889s	who who boast to have nice facial hair I
1891s	think that Gillian is a perfectly
1892s	trustworthy person so with that in mind
1895s	uh so Gillian there trying to Rous
1896s	people together and they're going to be
1898s	sending the heroes of sanctuary off into
1900s	the fracture Peaks to fight against this
1902s	new threat the Red Cloak hor and his
1904s	minions you know were're out there kind
1905s	of like causing great Mayhem they're
1907s	kind of erecting these these disgusting
1909s	uh snow sculptures uh out of discard
1912s	Parts uh throughout the environment yeah
1914s	here is a a group of the redcloak terror
1917s	Horrors minions just kind of like
1918s	running around uh they're very very
1920s	dangerous creatures they're but they're
1921s	also fun they're kind of like they're
1923s	having a good time with it like they're
1924s	they're enjoying this season this this
1926s	they're in this they're in it for the
1928s	spirit of it which is just basically
1929s	causing Law Of Mayhem and destruction
1931s	and pain for the people so you get a
1933s	chance to feel a little bit as you're
1934s	going through the uh the event here is
1935s	our our main boy the uh the red CL car
1938s	himself uh this is going to be your
1940s	opportunity to go and fight this this
1942s	boss will occasionally pop into the the
1944s	content you'll get good rewards from him
1947s	as you're kind of progressing through
1948s	the event and he will take all of these
1950s	these like trophies and things you're
1951s	collecting from all of his minions and
1953s	kind of as you're engaging in various
1954s	events and saving people in sanctuary
1956s	able to bring these back to kovas Shad
1958s	be able to unlock some really cool
1959s	Cosmetics awesome yeah and I know
1961s	there's even um a few like kind of
1964s	exclusive things for the beyond the
1966s	Cosmetics for this event such as we have
1969s	an Elixir for instance that actually
1972s	grants a little bit uh more um
1975s	experience yeah yeah there's an Elixir
1976s	that grants 10% extra experience when
1978s	you're uh when you're drinking it uh it
1979s	also gives you other effects when you're
1981s	active inside the fractured Peaks but
1982s	you can also just use it for the XP if
1983s	you want yeah and I will note the XP
1985s	actually does work even outside of fraer
1987s	peak so it's like hey it's a an extra
1989s	bonus for players if they're looking to
1991s	to grab a little bit of extra uh
1993s	experience and then there is also for
1996s	this event a a a new like offensive

2130s	there we go okay there we go there's a
2131s	spin of friendship okay so we are yeah
2133s	it's funny it's like last stream of the
2135s	year and we're doing it live this is fun
2137s	uh now and when we say live we're
2139s	talking about this is a this is a live
2143s	like he's playing for real right now
2145s	that is that is what I was referencing
2146s	but I wasn't clear that's true but it is
2148s	on a uh Dev server y so we we W run into
2152s	other players and it is on a Dev build
2155s	so might be some debug text or unless
2157s	Dev just happens to run it through who's
2159s	also on the Ser could Happ yeah yeah you
2162s	might see you might see some weird stuff
2164s	folks and if people if I'm fearful we
2166s	just we just sent out this megaphone to
2168s	the team running over the well anyway
2171s	this is the first time we've done
2172s	something like that that's absolutely
2173s	right and if you complain about it we
2174s	just won't do it again and wouldn't you
2175s	rather just see really cool stuff I bet
2176s	you would so let's yeah let's see all
2180s	right so rich what uh what build are you
2182s	going to be running here for us today
2183s	yeah so uh on my side I'm actually going
2186s	to be running
2188s	a popular build the ball lightning build
2191s	uh I'm going to wait for Joe to kind of
2192s	explain some of the earlier stuffs
2194s	basically the lot of the gameplay Loop
2196s	stuff but uh pretty familiar for those
2198s	who've been watching a lot of the
2200s	endgame material for ball lightning uh
2203s	specifically for this I really focused
2204s	around like survivability Mobility uh
2207s	with the sprinkle of DPS but I think
2209s	before we get into it
2212s	sprinkle ball know for it's low it's low
2215s	damage output capacity absolutely uh so
2218s	yeah so rich here so when you let's say
2221s	we're talking about the Avatar of Zer I
2222s	know we talked about this before but
2224s	they initiated it's going to be a new
2226s	endgame dungeon content experience for
2228s	players to engage with that really
2229s	unlocks after you finish the season
2231s	journey of season 2 so if you really
2233s	want to go and start kind going through
2234s	this content you'll need to have done
2236s	all the things in the season beforehand
2238s	to be able to gain access to the very
2239s	first uh blood forward sigil able to
2242s	craft here at the occultist now once
2244s	you've taken this sigil know this is
2246s	going to open up a new dungeon space is
2248s	going to be more challenging than a tier
2250s	100 nightmare dungeon now there are 25
2253s	tiers of the uh of the avatars here for
2256s	players to engage with and each of these
2258s	does get progressively much more
2260s	challenging as you step up much more
2262s	challenging than say going from like a a
2264s	tier you know 75 nightmare dungeon to a
2266s	tier 76 nightmare dungeon you know going
2268s	from a tier one to a tier two to a tier
2270s	three these are really significant steps
2271s	by comparison so and we want this cuz
2273s	like we're giving like season 2's been a
2275s	lot of fun like I'm having a lot of fun
2276s	playing even my my firewall sorc right
2277s	now uh it is it is uh there's there we
2280s	want to make sure that there's a really
2281s	good place or place be able to bring all
2283s	this power they've been collecting from
2284s	like whether they're farming durial for
2286s	Uber uniques or just they get a really
2288s	really great combination of vampiric
2289s	powers when I have a place where they
2291s	can go to like to to really show off and
2294s	like really push hard into a type of
2297s	content that's the the focus here yeah
2299s	and you know we mentioned you you
2302s	mentioned just now that the uh the
2304s	Avatar requires that you've completed
2306s	the season Journey right and so the
2308s	season Journey the last step of the
2310s	Season Journey requires um uh you can
2313s	skip two of the things two of the
2314s	objectives but there're still difficult
2315s	objectives like complete like hild
2317s	durial even if you skip like echo of
2319s	Lilith and um the the tier 90 nightmare
2321s	dungeon requirement and that's not
2324s	arbitrary that's because characters who
2327s	uh haven't aren't able to do that really
2329s	are not ready for Avatar here so I know
2332s	there are a lot of folks who are level
2333s	100 out there who maybe haven't
2336s	completed this yet we've got this
2337s	weekend coming up um so get your get
2340s	your season Journey finished exactly and
2342s	and if players still haven't completed
2345s	by you know this weekend or when avatars
2347s	year actually hits they still have they
2349s	can still complete it anytime when the
2351s	uh seasonal event is actually going on
2353s	and jump in uh even afterwards so uh if
2356s	if youve got plans this weekend or
2358s	something like that and can finish it
2359s	don't worry it's okay you can still do
2361s	that uh over the next couple weeks
2363s	because this event will be going uh
2364s	through January um or the beginning of
2366s	January
2367s	you still have time you still have time
2369s	so uh I Know Rich here has actually as
2372s	we were talking spawn a a level one uh
2376s	Avatar uh using um the the sigils
2379s	himself right there so um I think this
2382s	is a a good opportunity for for him to
2383s	kind of jump in uh yeah so rich has done
2386s	a little of this content on his uh his
2388s	his character here already um so you
2391s	know he's he's he's got a little bit of
2392s	a preview of how it's going to play uh
2394s	how it's it going to feel to play
2395s	through but uh I think it's going to be
2396s	pretty fun Let's uh let's see how he he
2398s	performs yeah and I think one thing that
2400s	I did want to address on uh that I saw
2402s	from chat is that uh character that I
2405s	have is as close as I can be to being
2407s	maxed out you know because you know this
2410s	is trying to be as relatively close to
2412s	what I've been practicing on which has
2413s	been the tier level 100 nightmare
2416s	Dungeons and I think there's a few
2418s	things that I wanted to call out as well
2421s	um on the
2423s	actual uh on the actual sigil itself I
2426s	think one difference here is that like
2427s	I'm not aware of what afflictions I'm
2430s	going to encounter in this battle so I
2432s	think you know capping things or getting
2434s	as close to as cap I can for things like
2437s	uh my armor my uh Magic resist my damage
2441s	and all those just really trying to be
2443s	ready and prepared for any surprises
2445s	yeah I know rich is you've you've
2447s	because you've played through Avatar a
2448s	little bit you've built a little bit
2450s	more
2450s	survival uh on your on your sorc here um
2454s	as opposed to like completely last can
2456s	Canon he's a little bit more prepared
2458s	than I think some other people would be
2461s	um but uh I know with uh us showcasing
2464s	here a level one Avatar uh kind of at
2467s	least showcases a little bit it how
2469s	would you guys compare this to like a
2471s	nightmare dungeon in terms of like tier
2473s	uh difficulty or like would it be
2475s	similar to like a nightmare dungeon in
2477s	terms of tier uh with the level one yeah
2480s	the level one Avatar of year is like
2482s	kind of close to what like a like a
2483s	level 104 might be like that's kind of
2485s	where things start uh and then things
2487s	step up from there now uh you'll see
2490s	here right off the bat there's there's
2491s	some big differences right like on the
2492s	right hand side you see that there's a
2494s	bar that's being filled uh you know
2496s	Avatar of Zer runs are really races
2498s	Against Time uh so rich here is really
2501s	focus on killing creatures as fast as he
2503s	can uh in an effort to kind of beat that
2505s	timer and summon the boss at the end of
2506s	The Experience you know uh loose not
2508s	dropping for him as he's kind of rolling
2510s	through the things we don't want to slow
2511s	you down we want to keep you killing as
2513s	fast as you can to show off uh your
2515s	ability to kind of like survive in these
2516s	enir environments now as we step up one
2519s	one thing we think is uh is is is
2521s	interesting about this is you know we
2523s	actually um taking one step back
2525s	actually some of the things that that
2526s	that Joe's talked about when we were at
2528s	the uh at bcon um was our commitment to
2531s	uh endgame content and uh and
2533s	itemization rewards and things the
2535s	things we want to do to make the
2536s	continue to make the game better Avatar
2538s	of Zer is like it's it's designed
2540s	explicitly to appeal to players who are
2541s	at this stage of the gameplay experience
2543s	and we're looking we're going to be
2544s	using it to kind of like think about
2546s	itate upon more features like this we
2548s	want to bring out in the future that's
2549s	one of the reason why it's a seasonal
2551s	seasonal event you know it's a fun
2553s	experience for season 2 but we'll have
2555s	slightly different ideas in the future
2556s	of how we want to kind of create similar
2558s	content M yeah that's a great Point yeah
2561s	and I know um with like we can see Rich
2565s	by the way Rich has been so lucky with
2567s	shrines every single time we watch them
2569s	go through he like consistently gets
2571s	artillery shrines which um I'm just
2575s	going to claim like like I don't know
2577s	Community
2578s	manager Community manager RNG yes uh you
2583s	know I'm going to be 100% honest with
2585s	everyone here and those watching on I
2588s	went super tanky because I think one of
2590s	the nightmares that I would have is
2591s	actually to die in the middle of a demo
2594s	uh we'll make that happen I promise uh
2597s	but the I know the um with level one as
2600s	you can see rich is like well ahead of
2602s	time so he's clearly geared out and and
2604s	ready for a level one um but at the end
2607s	of the the these avatars we'll see here
2609s	in a second as he gets to time um we we
2612s	do have a little bit of a like kind of
2615s	an end period for for players a little
2616s	bit more of a challenge towards the end
2618s	yeah so uh yeah one thing that's making
2620s	this particularly interesting is uh with
2622s	the vampir powers in season two uh with
2624s	Rich running metamorphosis regularly I
2626s	mean he's basically got like permanent
2627s	Unstoppable you know he's just kind of
2629s	like using flicker step to keep
2630s	resetting that unstable currents and he
2632s	is just keeping that 4 second
2634s	Unstoppable uptime and you summon the
2637s	boss and wow that was spicy right off
2638s	the bat so every time you manage to
2640s	clear one of these levels you're going
2641s	to summon three blood Seekers who are
2643s	you know pretty strong are going to have
2644s	the uh you know affixes of their own uh
2646s	you're going to have to go ahead and
2647s	clear through the timer is still ticking
2650s	but uh you know Rich has got a really
2652s	good healthy lead on the timer right now
2653s	so I don't think that's going to be a
2654s	problem it's just going to be a question
2655s	of whether or not he get spiked by
2657s	something he didn't expect but with the
2659s	amount of barrier you should be able to
2660s	pack with your sorc at this point I
2661s	don't think that should be a problem
2662s	this is a unfavorable Spa I don't like I
2665s	don't like this spot
2667s	you're you're on some tight Corners I
2669s	think in every single practice this has
2670s	happened but what I'm what I'm feeling
2673s	lucky about is that I don't have a
2674s	suppressor which is definitely a for me
2677s	my ball lightning but yes I'll pass it
2679s	back over to you cuz there's actually
2680s	some pretty cool stuff uh to call out
2683s	over here yeah so yeah okay so Upon
2685s	finishing your first run through the
2686s	Avatar of year you're going to actually
2688s	you're going to earn your first you're
2689s	going to earn rather the special glyph
2691s	associated with the seasonal event which
2692s	is the tears of blood glyph that you can
2694s	see here now Rich already SP spend a
2696s	little uh spend some XP on this
2698s	upgrading it before but this is an
2699s	extraordinarily powerful multiplicative
2702s	bonus glyph you get to kind of slot in
2704s	you know this has got 200 levels
2706s	associated with it for you to upgrade
2707s	through over the course of time it
2708s	starts out at the size of a Tier 15
2711s	normal glyph normal rare glyph so it is
2714s	extremely strong right off the bat so
2716s	you're going to be able able to use this
2718s	to kind of help you get through some of
2719s	the more difficult uh tiers as you go
2721s	deeper and deeper into the experience
2722s	and there's one other really neat thing
2724s	about this as well so the
2727s	so this experience uh the tears of blood
2730s	glyph itself has like a lot of paragon
2732s	glyph XP that you need in order to
2733s	upgrade it as you continue to like go on
2735s	through the experience uh and one of the
2737s	things we wanted to do was uh make sure
2739s	that if you're at this stage if you want
2741s	to experiment with other glyphs you can
2743s	still like you get giant amounts of XP
2745s	from finishing Avatar
2747s	zero 1000 XP Mater get a th000 so if you
2751s	want to use this an opportunity to kind
2752s	of like rank up some of those other
2753s	glits you've got cuz you want to play
2754s	with other things for other bills and
2756s	other things here's an opportunity to
2758s	kind of like go in quickly like level up
2759s	a bunch of those other GPS that you have
2761s	in addition to like you know not taking
2763s	too much time away from your tears the
2764s	blood if you're trying to like stay keep
2765s	Pace with that uh but we think that's
2767s	like an extra fun little bit Yeah Tis of
2769s	blood lift super powerful uh for players
2771s	to be able to engage with again it's
2772s	only here for the season uh and it'll it
2775s	be retired at the end of that season
2777s	yeah and like we we just saw Rich of
2779s	course you know turn through a level one
2780s	pretty pretty easily then struggle a
2782s	little at the end but it was it was a
2784s	little struggle I got a little wasn't
2786s	too bad uh but um I I Know Rich like
2789s	what key or what sigils do you have here
2792s	so I think what I did over there was a
2794s	Sigil one uh I think what we were
2796s	talking about was trying to make like an
2797s	engagement moment uh basically by having
2800s	chat almost pick the challenge ahead so
2803s	what I've pre-crafted beforehand is a
2805s	two a six as well as a 10 funny enough I
2809s	create backups for this cuz like hey I
2811s	might die but um I think it's just one
2813s	of those things where I would love to
2815s	reserve of the 10 and Beyond levels uh
2818s	for a later moment but Adam you had a
2820s	great idea as a as a reminder like tear
2823s	for for avatars year go up to 25 so um
2827s	there are a significant amount of tiers
2829s	and they of course go up in difficulty
2831s	by a pretty like almost an exponential
2833s	amount as you're going from uh tier to
2835s	tier but be curious okay all right like
2838s	you already asked the chat and the chat
2840s	is already going like screaming 10 so
2842s	they just want you to die okay we we
2844s	said like we're going to let chat choose
2845s	to or 10 we'll see what they say I'm
2847s	like it's going to be 10 they're going
2848s	to absolutely want to see they're
2849s	they're going to want to see 10 so uh
2851s	Rich take us into a do tier 10 and let's
2856s	see how he does um now are you going to
2859s	adjust builds a little bit here too I
2861s	just want to call it you I mean a few
2863s	things here I think for the the players
2866s	at home is that obviously you saw that
2869s	the previous one I was geared up to be a
2870s	little bit more tanky because the last
2872s	thing that I want to do is embarrass
2873s	myself and die on there but I think what
2875s	Joe and team can do is also explain like
2878s	how some of the scaling works as they go
2880s	up so I think I'll just go in I think
2882s	what I'm trying to balance out now is
2884s	just try to add a little bit more uh
2886s	damage output by sacrificing some of my
2889s	tankiness uh just because I anticipate
2891s	that the higher HP is going to be a
2893s	challenge and I just I don't want to
2894s	lose to the time um and I actually want
2897s	to see how far I can progress so let me
2898s	activate this uh I was like he went back
2901s	in without AC the nerves it's the nerves
2905s	yeah it's a Rich's point here I mean
2907s	it's not easy to uh to play play games
2909s	on stream right no no it's not no so
2912s	this is why we're going to have him
2914s	narrate a full uh Romeo and Juliet uh
2918s	play to us as he's playing yeah to
2920s	ensure full color commentary full
2924s	concentration on this no so so Rich's
2926s	Point earlier about how the scaling
2928s	works so as we were experimenting with
2930s	this content one of the things we
2931s	discovered pretty quickly is we just
2932s	didn't want to continue to scale monster
2934s	damage up you know in a really really uh
2936s	a significant way as you're kind of
2937s	going through this content uh we really
2939s	want to focus a lot more on Monster
2941s	Health scaling as you go uh because we
2943s	get quickly get to a point where like
2944s	any bat that kind of like Clips you
2946s	which is basically just you know
2947s	completely ice you unless you're
2948s	invulnerable at that point and it it
2950s	just makes it a less fun experience
2952s	overall so we wanted to make sure it was
2954s	much more about like can you beat that
2955s	timer can you survive the bosses at the
2956s	end you know not as much about like
2958s	damage gets so so high over the course
2960s	of time that there's just no there's no
2962s	opportunity for different class to
2963s	really be able to perform right yeah and
2966s	the uh the tears of blood glyph really
2968s	is going to increase your damage output
2970s	yes right so leveling that up did you
2972s	actually have that your tears for blood
2974s	Cliff uh equipped oh is it equipped so I
2977s	did not and I think one of the things
2978s	that I wanted to do I mean for me I
2982s	think as I've been um going in and
2983s	testing it like I think it's actually
2985s	been a pretty cool experience to see
2986s	like how it's been with and without um I
2989s	think just exploring a little bit more
2992s	into it as well like while my Paragon
2995s	board is optimized for what I have here
2997s	it's definitely opening up a lot a lot
2999s	more oh hold on a second also you didn't
3001s	replenish your potions before you so
3005s	this is for the mistakes were made this
3008s	is for the stre you're trying to give
3010s	yourself disadvantage for for for clicks
3012s	I say we got more max potions yeah
3015s	that's true rich rich did not do himself
3018s	a few favors here one he did not
3020s	replenish his potions and then two he
3021s	did not equip tear for blood Cliff
3025s	because falling behind that timer pretty
3027s	quickly at this point because he wanted
3028s	to be a show off and is not showing off
3033s	well it's you know it's interesting to
3034s	see how valuable you were talking about
3036s	this earlier how valuable the uh the
3038s	vampire vampire powers are in this in
3041s	this content as well really configuring
3043s	those yeah I mean once you if you're
3044s	permanently unstopable like snake family
3046s	is a lot less dangerous to deal with
3047s	across the board like you don't have to
3049s	deal with that like that charging uh
3050s	stun you don't have to deal with you
3052s	don't have to deal with the paralyze
3053s	like there's a you know you have some
3054s	advantages I think it's funny that got
3056s	snakes randomly twice in a row U but hey
3058s	you know that's the nature of of live
3060s	gameplay you know and and I I will say
3062s	it's not just snakes though you can see
3063s	other things in this yeah that's a great
3065s	Point each time you enter Avatar of zir
3068s	you're going to have uh different
3069s	monsters different tile sets different
3072s	uh different
3074s	layouts and I think the big thing here
3076s	is that my eye is definitely drawn into
3078s	the timer uh compared to how it was in
3081s	the tier one you know I'm definitely not
3084s	taking out as many monsters as need to
3086s	get the potions and that Tyber is really
3089s	hurting my feelings right now that that
3091s	and everything I say like the normal
3094s	progression for players will be oh oh my
3097s	gosh oh well well then that ends the
3100s	story of
3102s	Rich uh I will I will say that the
3105s	normal progression for players is not to
3107s	go immediately to a 10 chat chat deemed
3111s	that you needed to go to ATT 10
3112s	immediately and Rich deemed that he did
3115s	not need to
3116s	actually equip his tears with blood clip
3118s	so um yeah but this takes us to an
3120s	interesting point what happens when you
3122s	die in in a yeah so when you when you
3124s	die in the video game you die in the
3126s	video game so actually you're going to
3128s	lose your run uh because you have no uh
3129s	responds available when you go through a
3131s	uh a avatar of Zer run so you'll have to
3134s	go back you'll have to make another key
3135s	you know that progress is going to be
3136s	lost
3137s	so yeah so just a a word for warning for
3141s	like even like a double like I guess
3146s	penal a penalty for for hardcore players
3149s	like yeah lose your character and you
3152s	lose you lose your you lose your run
3154s	huge double
3156s	penalty one major penalty and one small
3158s	one so yeah I um I do want to just
3161s	follow up on the mention earlier what
3163s	happens at the very end I think the
3166s	trying to return back to the adventure
3169s	but yeah surprised by this is something
3171s	to what we wanted to call out as well
3173s	yeah so like basically if you the
3174s	Portal's going to be there uh while the
3176s	event is active but unless you've
3177s	actually used a Sigil to kick it off
3179s	you're basically just going to be able
3180s	to come to this like kind of broken
3182s	edifice here and there's nothing nowhere
3184s	else to go I'd be curious like if you
3186s	are in here with like a party can you
3189s	revive other party members as uh if they
3192s	happen to die uh when a player goes down
3194s	the run is over okay whoa okay there we
3198s	go so for I know there's a few people
3200s	asking questions like hey if I'm running
3202s	this with the group if if anyone dies
3204s	there it's a it's a it's a done run MH
3207s	um so it is it is a little punishing but
3210s	at the same time it is endgame content
3212s	absolutely well I mean sure I mean so so
3216s	uh one of the things really interesting
3217s	about uh having content like this at the
3219s	end game is we do want to make sure that
3220s	there are lots of ways as you've seen
3222s	season two to like Farm up different
3223s	gear that you want and make sure that
3225s	you can get your power your character to
3226s	be really really powerful but then when
3229s	you get into the next year of content
3230s	like do we want you to continually
3232s	always get more gear to always replace
3235s	the gear that that you have right so
3237s	tears of the tears of blood glyph is an
3238s	example of us like kind of experimenting
3240s	with different ideas of progression for
3241s	players and see how these things feel um
3244s	as like we want to make sure that
3245s	there's always more things you want to
3246s	go try to do and always more things for
3248s	you to go push for your character uh but
3250s	how much you have to like re integrate
3252s	you know um aspects of your your build
3255s	every time you like kind of go through a
3257s	Content here feels like something we we
3259s	talk about quite a bit Yeah but uh one
3261s	thing I'm really excited about uh for
3262s	this is so tears of blood is going to be
3265s	like really really powerful again 200
3266s	tiers multipli multipli damage increases
3269s	it continues to scale up as you go very
3271s	very strong it's going to be fun to see
3273s	players who are able to see how far
3276s	people can skew that like not use the
3277s	tears of blood Clift and see how far
3279s	they're able to actually get into the
3280s	content so I think that's be like that's
3282s	be very very exciting yeah I'm I'm
3284s	really excited I I'm hoping uh players
3286s	end up you know sending us tweets on
3289s	social and or sorry it's not tweets any
3292s	X posts posts and reposts on social
3296s	uh or are posting on Reddit and forums
3298s	of like how far they can actually
3299s	progress it'll be uh really cool to see
3301s	uh where the community kind of lands and
3304s	where some of our more uh hardcore
3306s	players end up Landing as well
3308s	especially hardcore characters people
3309s	that really Risk Everything to to try
3312s	out this content so um there we go so
3314s	that's Avatar Zer Avatar Zer again hits
3317s	on December 5th it'll be with our next
3319s	uh patch and uh yeah and that will be
3321s	next week we actually plan on having
3323s	patch notes available on uh diablo.com
3326s	uh tomorrow so uh it will be uh
3330s	available for people to check out patch
3332s	notes uh for that update hitting next
3334s	week so thank you again Rich yeah really
3337s	appreciate it thank you for for
3339s	sacrificing your Dev build character for
3342s	this um which is nearly the same as your
3345s	your live build yes um this this build I
3348s	wanted to make a as close as I can to in
3350s	terms of a onetoone representation of
3353s	what I have on retail I know for a lot
3354s	of the people at home it's important to
3356s	try to have and see and play with
3358s	something that that's relevant to them
3360s	so yeah just try to do that excited to
3362s	see everybody online Let's Farm up let's
3365s	do this see how high we can get get get
3367s	your your season Journey done um because
3370s	that is the requirement for for jumping
3371s	into avatars year uh and checking it out
3376s	cool um so I know one thing that we do
3378s	want to talk about as well that we had
3380s	mentioned on social and this is just a a
3383s	quick mention from us and a quick update
3384s	from us
3385s	and it is around
3387s	itemization so uh one thing we do want
3390s	to show off though is we all have well
3393s	I'm not zipped up I I'm wearing my
3395s	Diablo 4 bomber here oops there we go
3398s	but uh but uh some extra but yeah we do
3402s	we have these really fancy little shirts
3404s	here you guys even remember the cute I
3407s	remember yeah this yeah it's uh this is
3411s	a this is a playoff of uh uh Adam
3413s	Jackson um uh made this wonderful saying
3417s	before damage on Tuesdays damage on
3420s	Tuesdays and yeah felt appropriate for a
3423s	discuss we we felt like this was an
3425s	appropriate time to show off uh what
3428s	we'll do is we'll we'll take the jackets
3429s	off while Rich is playing we won't
3431s	forget to do that we were supposed to do
3434s	that we were supposed to do that like to
3435s	have this be like a better instead
3437s	everyone got to watch us awkwardly take
3440s	off hoodies and jackets so um but I
3443s	think the people loved it obviously yes
3445s	uh and I I do want to I do want to give
3447s	a a shout out to um uh Ricky on our art
3450s	team he sorry Ricky Richie on our art
3453s	team who actually ended up making these
3455s	uh amazing Dam yeah I love the graphic
3457s	design on this Rogue shooting uh through
3460s	Tuesday um but itemization um I know we
3464s	wanted to talk really quickly about that
3466s	and uh Joe yeah okay so there's a lot to
3470s	talk about uh at BlizzCon uh Mr Shelly
3474s	himself got chance kind of talk about a
3476s	few things that we've got coming uh we
3477s	we have going on we talk about some of
3479s	the problems that we see timization uh
3481s	out there today you know I think just to
3483s	kind of reiterate some of those points
3485s	um as players going through the
3487s	experience you know it is um it's
3490s	challenging the amount of uh mental uh
3493s	bandwidth you have to use to process all
3495s	the items you're collecting uh it is
3497s	it's difficult to find upgrades because
3501s	there's a really low chance for you to
3502s	get like a like a perfect rare role and
3504s	in general in in args it's okay for it
3506s	to be a low chance for the for the role
3508s	to be perfect but there's such a high
3510s	degree of variability in items right now
3512s	as they stand where it's like usually
3514s	it's like okay well this item is 80% of
3517s	what I want it to be and that could feel
3518s	okay to find that pretty regularly but
3520s	that could be kind of hard to find right
3521s	now in Diablo 4 right and and feels
3524s	almost virtually impossible you can go
3525s	through 200 pairs of gloves and not find
3527s	a perfect pair of gloves you know for
3528s	your for your class you now there's a
3530s	there's a lot of things that contribute
3532s	to this you know there's the uh the
3533s	number of different eics we have uh
3536s	there is the um the fact that we don't
3538s	have a lot of uh things in place that
3542s	that that say like you can't have like
3543s	multiple skill ranks you know on an item
3545s	like right now we allow you to have like
3546s	you know three different plus core skill
3548s	ranks on an item occasionally and that
3550s	doesn't really serve anybody so one of
3552s	the things we want to think about a lot
3553s	as we're as we're looking towards 2024
3555s	because like you know it's December
3556s	we're looking back at you know a year of
3558s	of talking together and you know trying
3560s	to paint a picture of like what we want
3561s	moving forward for us you know we want
3563s	to be thinking more about like we we
3564s	have plans for uh solving these kinds of
3567s	problems uh we also see that there's not
3571s	enough uh there's not enough like Runway
3573s	with items either like they're not
3575s	there's a lot more they could be doing
3576s	for the player when uh when they drop
3578s	for players so one of the things you
3580s	want to think about more as we get into
3582s	uh as we get into
3583s	2024 is having items really be kind of
3586s	like the start of a journey so when
3588s	something drops for the for you as a
3590s	player we want that to be like cool you
3591s	want you want to be able to get this and
3592s	say this is awesome I can't wait to do X
3595s	Y and Z to this and make it like really
3597s	really great right like this is the
3599s	perfect thing I need for my build and I
3601s	feel that you've got more chances like
3602s	to modify and customize that and really
3605s	incorporate that into what you want for
3606s	your particular play style that's that's
3608s	important for like player expression for
3610s	build making uh it it does a lot for
3612s	just making the uh the game more
3613s	exciting versus like every single time
3615s	you're looking for an upgrade it's only
3617s	whatever immediately drops in the ground
3619s	and I kind of have to make a decision
3620s	based on that we want to go we want to
3621s	go a lot further than that I think in
3623s	the future for players now you know
3626s	these are one the sorts of things I'm
3628s	talking about are pretty big right like
3630s	in season 2 we made changes to the
3631s	persistance system uh we made changes
3633s	like you know vulnerable damage being
3634s	multiple making that additive made it
3636s	like made I think people did saw like we
3638s	made a huge number of changes to the way
3640s	that stats work and and and and skills
3642s	and a bunch of other stuff right huge
3643s	number of changes and the reason why we
3647s	did so much of it at once was because
3649s	many of these things were very
3651s	interconnected and trying to do trying
3654s	to improve these systems by doing like
3656s	one small portion of it can actually
3657s	make everything worse because this is
3659s	now like almost like a little island of
3661s	a different idea it's floating out and
3662s	not integrated properly into everything
3664s	else in the game right so as we think
3667s	about the sorts of itemization changes
3669s	we're looking to make the war changes we
3670s	want to make to make things more
3672s	exciting for players to Chase and really
3673s	like again if Diablo is a game about
3675s	killing monsters and getting loot then
3677s	killing monsters feels pretty good right
3679s	now I think that uh getting loot has
3680s	places where we can make improvements
3682s	you know we need to make sure that's
3683s	holding up it's end of the bargain right
3685s	but to make this the sorts of changes
3686s	that we're talking about uh there's
3689s	basically a number of other things that
3691s	are going to need to be adjusted at the
3692s	same time so we have plans for a really
3696s	really big update uh for itemization we
3698s	want to be able to produce uh it's not
3700s	coming in season 3 we're looking at
3701s	season 4 we want to be able to Target a
3703s	lot of these changes to come out kind of
3705s	End Mass so in season 3 we're which
3708s	we're not talking about today season 3
3709s	today you know but there's uh there's
3711s	there's still cool stuff that we have
3712s	coming up we'll I guess we'll talk we're
3715s	about we're about to talk like a tiny
3716s	bit about season 3 you know we are
3718s	there's still lots of great feedback
3719s	that we're getting uh from players about
3721s	their experience playing in season 3
3722s	right now yeah SE in season two yeah
3724s	yeah well sorry yes feedback from season
3726s	two that we want to try to like to
3729s	incorporate uh into season 3 yeah well
3731s	and one of the things that we've seen
3733s	with season two right is um this was a
3736s	our you were talking about how we made a
3737s	lot of changes to itemization we um made
3740s	a lot of changes to builds there were
3742s	some things that that got less powerful
3744s	but we really sort of I think we did a
3747s	great job delivering on you know some of
3748s	the stuff we talked about back in season
3750s	one in terms of um making uh when we
3753s	make changes to Stats or classes or
3757s	itemization that we make sure that we're
3759s	adding lots of new cool stuff and you
3762s	know I think we continue to we we plan
3764s	to continue to do that with season 3
3765s	right so you know um I think we've
3768s	talked I've I've said uh on social like
3771s	Hey we're not going to we're not going
3772s	to Nerf your your builds here for
3775s	throughout season two um we were just
3777s	playing ball lightning right just live
3780s	here um and we think that's really
3782s	important because we built Avatar of zir
3786s	based on the balance of the game as it
3787s	stands in season two um but then as you
3789s	get into season two you can at season
3791s	three no one's going to say any of the
3793s	right season numbers today um but as you
3796s	get into season three um you can expect
3798s	to see some of those Balance changes
3800s	kind of like what we saw in season two
3801s	right that's right so we we'll change
3803s	along those lines we'll be able to talk
3805s	about those as we get a little bit
3805s	closer to the season 3 release date and
3807s	there's a bunch of other changes we're
3808s	making in in season well well there's
3810s	there the one thing about I know you
3811s	were talking about with itemization you
3813s	know we've we're prepping a lot of
3815s	changes and we've actually um we have
3817s	talked to um at least a group of uh of
3821s	Diablo Partners content creators already
3824s	about uh some of the the itemization
3826s	changes that are going to be coming in
3828s	season 4 that's right so um they have
3831s	actually uh there are there are people
3833s	aware of of some of the the details and
3836s	changes that we're actually offering so
3837s	and we're we're doing that mostly for
3839s	you know we wanted to get some feedback
3841s	from and and bounce like some ideas that
3843s	we actually had so uh we're really
3845s	looking forward to you know actually
3848s	going through all of that and making
3849s	sure and refining it a little bit before
3851s	we actually put it out um uh in front of
3854s	everyone uh and so there will be more
3856s	news about itemization as we uh go
3858s	through season 3 and into season 4
3861s	obviously with the the the big changes
3862s	that are going to be coming um but we we
3865s	have been actually talking with a select
3868s	group of people with our Diablo Partners
3869s	our content creators uh specifically on
3872s	that so uh and I wanted to make sure
3874s	like people weren't thinking we're
3874s	working within like a a box or something
3877s	like that from that in yeah like Jo said
3878s	at bliz gon like if endgame content is
3881s	our one of our highest priorities
3882s	itemization is our highest priority
3884s	right like we're actively working on
3885s	these things it's just they're going to
3887s	take they take time because there's
3888s	there they're expansive and it's going
3890s	to be better for the game bringing these
3892s	things together into one big release
3894s	we're very very excited about it it was
3896s	really fun talking to content creators
3897s	about some of these plans and getting
3898s	some of that initial feedback so that's
3900s	cool but like we're in motion you know
3901s	we're working through these things right
3902s	now so but again that's not the that's
3905s	not all right like you know as we look
3907s	towards season 3 and and talk about like
3909s	the sorts of things that players are
3910s	having uh some difficulties with right
3911s	now you know there's a couple things
3913s	that got brought up first is forgotten
3914s	Souls yes you know it's it's it's
3916s	obviously we we see the players are
3917s	having a tougher time getting forgotten
3919s	Souls uh in Diablo 4 in season 2 you
3921s	know relative to other uh other points
3923s	in time uh one of things that we're
3925s	doing uh based upon uh that feedback and
3927s	feedback about uh about hell tide is
3930s	actually increasing the hell tide up
3932s	time so basically hell TI's going to be
3933s	up every hour for about 55 minutes it's
3936s	going be like a 5 minute break and then
3937s	it's going to come back up again run
3939s	through again it's going to make it a
3940s	lot easier for if you to farm those
3941s	forgotten Souls out when you're looking
3942s	for them yeah we really saw that uh it
3946s	worked well with blood Harvest and it's
3947s	something we wanted to bring over to
3948s	Hell tide I think there are more lessons
3950s	from from blood Harvest uh that uh we
3953s	can incorporate but this was one that we
3955s	thought was really important to get in
3956s	for season 3 yeah and this is just part
3958s	of like the things we learn through
3959s	Seasons that players really enjoy and
3962s	and it helps us make the game better um
3964s	you know there's even like the idea that
3966s	from season one to season two where we
3968s	brought malignant Powers kind of back in
3970s	those unique rings that we announced at
3972s	BlizzCon and are obviously now out now
3974s	blood Harvest has taught us a lot about
3976s	you know players expectations of like
3978s	what they're they're looking for when it
3979s	comes to like things like hell tide as
3981s	well so it's just some of these
3982s	learnings that we continuously apply the
3984s	game which has been really great yeah
3986s	and I want to talk about another thing
3987s	that we saw in season 2 um that I sort
3990s	of think I sort of been talking about is
3992s	the the 925 problem oh sure um
3994s	basically uh when you first get access
3997s	to World tier 4 um you can start getting
4001s	the highest high power loot immediately
4004s	from World bosses and and from Dural if
4007s	someone carries you through duriel and
4009s	and that to like duriel totally makes
4010s	sense it's a super hard encounter it's a
4012s	farming encounter right uh it's level
4015s	100 um the world bosses probably
4018s	shouldn't have a guaranteed chance to
4019s	drop 925 not because we hate having
4023s	players have good loot just because you
4025s	know when I was playing through it I was
4027s	what 72 and all my gear was 925 I felt
4031s	like where am I going to go from here
4032s	now it wasn't all I had a bunch of
4035s	garbage AES right like Joe was talking
4037s	about but um but there's another part of
4040s	this problem which is that as you get up
4043s	two toward close to 100 and reach 100 it
4047s	feels like there aren't enough um there
4049s	isn't enough Variety in places where you
4051s	can get 925 gear reliably like you it
4055s	can drop from Varon but it's a very
4057s	small chance it can drop from stuff like
4059s	Beast ice um and so it feels like you
4061s	know things like turning in obals
4063s	turning in Whispers doing some of those
4065s	other ladder bosses um and even in some
4069s	even uh in some cases some of the
4071s	nightmare dungeon content y it feels it
4073s	can feel like well well I guess I'm just
4075s	supposed to do durial and maybe do the
4077s	world bosses when they come up yeah it's
4079s	not consistent enough from other sources
4080s	that aren't durial and aren't the world
4081s	bosses so we we we love that you want to
4084s	go farm durial for for urban uniques and
4086s	for unique items we we we like the idea
4088s	that you want to go hit World boss when
4089s	it's up and that's and that's fun but
4091s	it's it doesn't feel good if those are
4092s	the only two ways you to really like
4094s	adequately find this kind of uh these
4096s	kinds of rewards so there's going to be
4098s	a balance so we're going to be certainly
4099s	evaluating that and make sure that it
4100s	feels like it's a little easier to find
4101s	925s in other like you know top IP items
4105s	you know in other other content channels
4106s	throughout the game awesome yeah so we
4108s	have um some changes coming with with
4111s	season 3 to to based off of feedback
4113s	that we've gotten from from players with
4114s	season 2 uh things around hell TI things
4117s	around the 925 uh the the I Lev 925 uh
4121s	items specifically so um but yeah great
4124s	to hear lots of lots of changes coming
4126s	up and of course season 4 we have some
4127s	big changes for for itemization that are
4130s	uh uh along the road so um I know we
4133s	want to jump into Q&A now because and
4136s	this is an opportunity for people in
4138s	chat to to kind of jump in and ask I'm
4140s	so sorry Adam for like ruining this
4141s	transition so I I guess one last thing
4143s	on timization so uh part of all of this
4147s	is trying to find more ways to what's
4150s	this I love the the lower the lower
4152s	third no no no no back to
4154s	itemization as it should be uh so so
4158s	part of all this is trying to find more
4160s	ways to communicate different ways to
4161s	communicate the uh like what our
4163s	intentions are what plans are try and
4165s	check them against like Dev view the
4166s	community you know we don't want to like
4168s	we don't want to overpromise underd
4169s	deliver we want to make sure that we're
4170s	really happy with the plans so we're
4172s	we're going through this we we're going
4173s	to continue to try to like provide as
4175s	much detail as we can as we go we don't
4177s	this isn't about kind of creating a
4178s	grand reveal that's not the point right
4180s	we want to manage expectations and also
4181s	make sure that we're really really happy
4182s	with what we have so when we deliver to
4184s	players to be excited about it so when
4185s	we're ready to talk more about about
4187s	these things leading into season 4 we're
4188s	going to we're going to make sure we do
4189s	a whole stream about these changes yeah
4191s	it's more about getting it right than
4192s	keeping it secret not about it's not
4195s	about yeah exactly exactly and that and
4197s	then just goes back to like why we've
4199s	already started talking to like even
4200s	just some of our our Diablo Partners our
4202s	content creators a little bit about it
4203s	just to make sure that we're not working
4205s	within a box where we're we're trying to
4207s	get uh this right and and show it to
4210s	everyone so um all right so Q&A um uh
4214s	this again I'll do my Preamble again uh
4217s	this is a good opportunity for people in
4219s	twitch chat to be able to uh drop in
4221s	questions I know chat's moving quickly
4222s	but we have uh our Community team is
4225s	actually in there uh like props to to
4229s	Lisa Casey in there right now uh and
4231s	pulling specific uh uh questions for Q&A
4235s	um I'm watching Rich by the way no one
4238s	sees this rich is we have a whiteboard
4239s	in here rich is like oh mid H yeah yeah
4242s	midwinter blight this is a question that
4244s	a lot of people have been asking it ends
4246s	on January 2nd so people who uh who are
4249s	asking in chat uh midwinter blight goes
4252s	through January 2nd so everyone is aware
4254s	of that and then uh Avatar Zer actually
4256s	goes nearly to the end of the season
4258s	that's right so uh players can check out
4261s	Avatar zero almost all the way through
4264s	uh the end of season two uh good
4266s	reminders on these end dates um I will
4269s	say that there's a question before we
4271s	jump into the questions from chat uh
4273s	there was a question that we've been
4274s	getting a lot online for from console
4276s	players specifically related to Gold
4278s	trading that I do want to actually
4280s	address as well uh there and I've people
4283s	send me videos and
4285s	totally understand it has become very
4288s	very uh tedious to actually trade gold
4290s	and since gold gold accumulation has
4293s	actually uh grown within season 2 it's
4295s	become very tedious as a console player
4297s	to trade gold using the UI and the the
4300s	user interface within uh within the game
4303s	there's been some gold inflation in
4304s	season 2 exactly we know and I know they
4306s	have to like manually scroll their gold
4308s	and it can be a little difficult um I
4311s	will say that is being addressed and the
4314s	team is is working on a fix for that
4315s	we're hoping that will be in uh for
4317s	season 3 yep uh so players uh on Console
4321s	will get a little bit more um uh I guess
4324s	of a relief during that specific point a
4327s	lot easier to put in you know you know
4328s	100 million a billion gold whatever you
4330s	want to put exactly exactly so uh I will
4332s	jump into questions here we have uh po
4337s	War Pig uh why is Avatar of Zer
4341s	considered a seasonal event and not
4342s	normal content
4344s	yeah because we want to go away at the
4346s	end of the
4347s	season that's that's why so because as I
4350s	I was kind of talking about a little bit
4350s	earlier but like we the Avatar of zir is
4353s	a piece of content we're putting it out
4354s	there and we're we really want to see
4356s	how players interact with it we want to
4357s	see uh what what people like about it
4359s	what they don't like about it we want to
4360s	be able to take that feedback and
4362s	incorporate that into more things that
4363s	we do you know we are going to be
4365s	looking for more like you know um you
4367s	know we we say things like you know
4368s	seasonal and Evergreen now we are
4370s	looking for more Evergreen pieces of
4371s	endgame content for players be engaged
4373s	with it just kind of continue to level
4374s	up you know the base Diablo 4 experience
4376s	particularly in that world tier 4
4377s	environment you know but we want be able
4379s	to do that in a way that is you know
4381s	that is intentional right so yeah yeah I
4384s	I think you you were saying earlier we
4385s	want to make more content like this um
4389s	but with Avatar of here this is this is
4391s	the the first of its kind this is the
4393s	first time we've done something like
4394s	this and um so I think I think we're
4396s	going to learn some stuff from it yeah
4399s	we intend to learn some stuff from it um
4401s	question from Breezy seore regarding
4403s	Avatar Z will uh we get any sigils or
4406s	sigil powder from Avatar Zer dungeons uh
4409s	Avatar Zer runs do Dr uh do drop uh
4411s	sigil at the end but you don't get sigil
4413s	drops as part of the Avatar of Zer runs
4415s	Perfect all right and then um I guess
4418s	this is kind of similar to uh a question
4421s	that you guys the first question which
4422s	is from Mr beefcakes gaming saying uh
4425s	are we getting any uh are we getting
4427s	some sort of variation of this mode in
4429s	the in future seasons are uh are there
4431s	like more big plans related to
4434s	uh endgame Beyond abator Z for for D4
4438s	yeah I mean in season 3 we know that
4439s	we're going to be launching the uh you
4441s	know the the Le The Gauntlet and the
4443s	leaderboard systems and trials you know
4445s	so like we're going to have some endgame
4446s	content there we are looking at more
4448s	content just like this and we will be
4450s	releasing it as well you know uh during
4452s	the course we're talking about some
4453s	ideas potentially for season 3 we're
4455s	talking about things we want to do in
4455s	season 4 so we are we are working
4457s	through all of that right now but yes
4459s	you will see more content like this in
4460s	the future yeah and uh jump into avor
4463s	next week and play it and tell us about
4465s	it yeah like if you love it then tell us
4467s	and we you know we're going to make more
4469s	of that yeah um question from
4473s	remas this is where I start this like a
4475s	year of
4477s	this with with an your Twitch names like
4480s	mine's Pez radar it's like so simple
4483s	come on not everybody can be as clever
4486s	as you with Pez radar uh I know so
4488s	clever I took a popular candy and mixed
4491s	it in with the word radar everyone um so
4493s	so Rema says any news on a loot filter
4497s	um any plans for that things like that
4500s	this is a popular question we tend to
4502s	get quite often so yeah I'm sorry
4505s	brother yeah well you can answer too I
4508s	um I think we answered we we had a
4510s	question like this at BlizzCon yes and
4512s	um what I said uh which continues to be
4515s	true is that we think that being able to
4517s	filter your loot efficiently is a
4521s	baseline part that should be part of all
4524s	auges including Diablo 4 um some of the
4527s	changes that uh we're planning uh coming
4530s	up for itemization uh in season 4 I
4533s	think will help with that um we're going
4535s	to look at those uh and look at the look
4538s	at the in the context of a loot filter
4540s	as well like we're we're certainly not
4542s	um against adding a loot filter uh and
4544s	it's something that we're looking at
4547s	alongside
4549s	um uh the changes that we're making but
4551s	the changes to itemization
4554s	are so significant that if we added a
4557s	loot filter today it wouldn't work after
4560s	we changed uh after we changed them yeah
4563s	there's G to be significant changes so
4565s	uh and and we are I call that like some
4567s	of the problems the big problems that we
4568s	see right now in itemization largely a
4570s	lot of it comes down to being able to
4571s	parse all this loot that you're
4572s	collecting and then like the general
4574s	sense that like some aices are just for
4575s	nobody like they're not really good for
4577s	anybody nobody really wants shine buff
4578s	duration you know nobody really wants
4580s	you know it's not I shouldn't say no one
4582s	really wants three or four resist on an
4584s	item but like there are some there are
4585s	some people that want three four resist
4586s	on item we're probably not going to do a
4587s	lot of that in the future you know
4589s	there's there's more things we're doing
4589s	to make it just easier to parse item to
4591s	item you know the sorts of improvements
4593s	and benefits and and make it more
4594s	exciting for players um question from
4597s	its doy uh are there plans for more
4599s	butcher style bosses like blood Seekers
4602s	would love more types of these
4603s	encounters uh especially maybe during
4605s	World bosses that would be crazy uh but
4608s	yeah having like four butchers spawn in
4611s	the middle of a world boss that'd be fun
4612s	a different kind of world B that point
4614s	exactly um but yeah any any plans for
4616s	like I guess that it's that surprise
4618s	type of element with with enemies that
4621s	come in yeah yeah we love we love that
4623s	uh the the gameplay that we're getting
4625s	from blood Seekers like dropping into
4626s	dungeons occasionally I think you see
4628s	even just like the the fights at the end
4630s	of the uh the Avatar of Z runs is are
4632s	already pretty fun because you don't
4633s	really know what combination of aices
4635s	and uh and bloodseeker classes you're
4637s	going to get when you uh when you kind
4638s	of wrap things up uh looking for more
4640s	Interruption disruptive content like
4642s	that you know the kind of creates this
4644s	like these like bolts of excitement when
4645s	you're going through like a Content
4646s	piece you think you might already know I
4648s	think is really cool yeah um so you
4650s	mentioned World bosses uh and I was
4653s	killing treasure Beast uh last week and
4658s	when you stagger treasure Beast you can
4659s	actually get one of those little
4660s	treasure golins that pops out um but his
4662s	loot isn't very good so we're going to
4664s	fix that there we go not not exactly
4667s	exactly
4669s	that Jo Joe had that experience and
4671s	wants to I fix look I got I got one raw
4676s	height and 300 gold look I'm sorry okay
4679s	I'm
4680s	sorry um yeah and uh uh yeah a lot of
4683s	people are going like treasure bees
4685s	what's that that where we tend to use
4687s	more internal PRI names prior to when we
4690s	actually develop real names the world
4692s	boss with a big chest full of exactly um
4694s	so ignore our internal hey guys that was
4698s	his internal or utilize it and confuse
4700s	everyone like we did exactly exactly um
4702s	so
4704s	uh you guys I I know that um we've
4707s	gotten questions about we we still get
4710s	questions we're still getting questions
4711s	because people didn't see the beginning
4712s	of the stream uh we do want to confirm
4714s	that we did talk about and address the
4717s	um the questions we've been seeing a lot
4718s	in the community related to uh pay for
4721s	power that I've been swirling around uh
4723s	people talking about are you guys
4724s	planning on adding pay for power in
4725s	Diablo 4 and uh I know that uh we talked
4729s	about in the beginning we we have
4730s	confirmed that we are not planning on
4732s	adding pay for power power in Diablo I
4735s	uh so I just want to reiterate that now
4736s	because there's a lot of people who
4737s	probably missed the beginning of the
4738s	stream I do want to just readdress that
4740s	there there are no plans for that again
4742s	we have no plans to add pay for power to
4744s	Diablo 4 yes everyone who sending me
4746s	posts on X on x I never going to stop
4750s	I'm never going to stop making jokes
4751s	about this I I love that I love it so
4752s	much uh any every when s post on X like
4755s	we get it you know we uh we we still do
4758s	not the thing is it's still true there's
4760s	no plans to sell Power in Diablo 4 yeah
4763s	yeah cool um a question related to um
4768s	actually color palettes because we've
4769s	been seeing a lot of like customization
4771s	and everything um is there it's this is
4773s	from Comfortably
4775s	dumb uh when are we getting more color
4778s	palettes for transmogs uh also pink is a
4781s	color they want to make sure people are
4783s	aware that pink is a color and they
4785s	would like pink yeah yeah that's you
4787s	know we don't get enough feedback on
4789s	this uh I think uh I think that there's
4792s	a lot of cool ways ways to customize
4794s	your your um your pigments in the the
4797s	Wardrobe and that there are more a lot
4799s	more things we could do there um both in
4801s	terms of of color paletts and other
4804s	things that you could potentially color
4805s	too awesome um skull TV asks any plans
4809s	to rework some skills or abilities like
4811s	The Necromancer could really use some
4813s	movement speed or skill abilities to to
4815s	help out with you know some of their
4818s	movement uh issues that they're having
4819s	right now yeah I think ad Jax who's been
4822s	on stream before we've talked about like
4823s	you know the Necromancer specifically
4825s	not having a lot of extra like speed
4826s	ability or agility style abilities like
4828s	that uh there is room for making these
4831s	sorts of adjustments over time there's
4833s	not an immediate plan in terms of like
4835s	you know in season 3 we're going to do X
4836s	like we don't have that you know but we
4838s	are trying to make sure that as we
4840s	continue to release uh New Seasons make
4842s	more unique items make more legendary
4843s	powers that we're thinking about like
4845s	the ways that players can use them to
4847s	kind of augment and uh and and help
4849s	parts of their class like we we we hear
4851s	you know very frequently like you know
4853s	or has a really tough time dropping
4854s	vulnerable on creatures so everybody
4856s	runs Frost noova like we we we
4858s	understand there's things we have plans
4859s	for like addressing these kinds of
4861s	concerns that players have across the
4862s	board over the course of time uh but
4865s	we're also always looking for
4866s	opportunities within timization to also
4868s	you know Buffet these classes and give
4870s	them some things uh these extra support
4871s	they need yeah um I'm going to take uh
4874s	one last question here uh before we kind
4877s	of close it out um this is BG fan
4879s	Germany will we ever be able to play the
4880s	campaign on a higher difficulty
4883s	yeah a couple people have asked for this
4886s	I think this is an interesting idea the
4887s	campaign is something that
4890s	um sort of each time you each time you
4893s	play uh narrative content like this um
4896s	you kind of get diminishing returns on
4899s	how exciting it is because some of it is
4900s	based on uh on surprise and emotional
4905s	resonance right um and some of it is
4907s	like another reason to ask this question
4909s	actually could be uh Hey I want to fight
4911s	andariel more times right um and so one
4914s	of the things that was cool to see with
4915s	season two is bringing like duriel back
4917s	previously only part of the campaign
4919s	right uh it'd be cool to do more stuff
4921s	like that um but it also could be cool
4923s	to play the campaign again on higher
4924s	difficulties like we want to have more
4926s	ways for players to to play the game
4928s	yeah yeah um and I will call this out
4930s	Dave B mentions Diablo ebooks with Joe
4932s	pipor reading when yeah
4936s	Joe uh let me you know Nar I'll work
4940s	with my agent and we'll figure out when
4942s	I can start
4944s	there we go well thanks dve you know
4946s	what I appreciate I appreciate people
4948s	like to hear the sound of my voice as
4949s	much as I like the sound of my voice so
4950s	that's all right well um before we wrap
4953s	up I know uh Mr Joe shell you would like
4956s	to say a few words to the diao community
4958s	as we wrap up our final stream here for
4960s	2023 for Diablo 4 um would you have any
4965s	parting words yeah I do let me get my
4967s	let me get my hat got this hat
4969s	specifically for this it's been a long
4970s	year there we go go all right now I feel
4975s	more I feel more in the holiday spirit
4977s	the fact that you own this hat is just
4980s	very interesting to um but yeah you know
4983s	like we said at the beginning it's been
4985s	uh it's been a a pretty exciting year
4988s	right like we went from uh testing the
4991s	game doing uh beta tests doing open Beta
4994s	um getting getting I remember getting my
4996s	shavah horn and wearing it uh on my
4998s	Mount everywhere uh I still wear it when
5001s	I show up to World boss
5003s	you got to brag you got to be like you
5005s	know I was part of that that group that
5007s	exclusive group um getting my my uh wolf
5011s	pack Wolf PFF from from participating in
5014s	the beta um you know all the the changes
5017s	we were able to make uh as a consequence
5019s	of of testing in the beta um playing
5021s	through the playing through the campaign
5023s	right getting to really have Mesto as a
5027s	a a huge complex character for the first
5030s	time in a in a Diablo game um finding
5032s	out out what happens with Lilith um and
5036s	um getting to meet all the characters
5037s	along the way right bringing the fish
5039s	back to uh to that that town in scin um
5043s	the major beats uh hey this exactly look
5047s	there's there's one Quest designer who's
5049s	like I made those I made it's it's a fun
5052s	um no but uh it was really the the
5054s	campaign in Diablo 4 I think we're
5057s	really proud of the work that that we
5059s	did there it was really cool for players
5061s	to experience that and sharing and for
5063s	people who pick up the game now to to
5065s	check it out um of course we launched
5068s	season one uh and we got tons of
5071s	feedback on season one I think we
5073s	learned a lot from that we did it was a
5076s	real it was a a real learning experience
5078s	for us uh those of you whove been with
5080s	us for a while I'm sure uh had an
5082s	opportunity to give us a lot of that
5083s	feedback but one of the things that I
5086s	want to point out here is that it it's
5090s	it's incredibly valuable to us to have
5092s	have players who are passionate about
5095s	the game because that's how we get the
5097s	opportunity to to make changes to it
5100s	right like when you have a game that no
5102s	one cares about you just don't get any
5104s	feedback about how it can be better um
5107s	and one of the reasons we've been able
5109s	to do all the things we've been able to
5111s	do with you know changes in season two
5113s	and uh all the stuff we've been talking
5115s	about here today and things that are
5116s	upcoming for the game is because of all
5118s	of your feedback so please continue to
5120s	give us feedback uh about all the things
5122s	things you don't like in the game and
5124s	all the things you like in the game um
5127s	we we love to hear it really um can I
5129s	say one thing I'm so sorry yeah you can
5131s	so it's it's funny whenever your hat I
5133s	don't have a hat I'm so sorry this is
5135s	really this is Joe sign up I I just I
5137s	one thing like I I I do get asked this
5139s	quite a bit like you know how do you
5139s	deal with all this feedback sometimes
5141s	it's like really really direct and I the
5143s	way I sort of think about it is like
5144s	whenever someone sends me a message
5146s	about uh de before or like we're reading
5148s	a community post or you know watching a
5149s	video whatever is that we're doing you
5151s	know at any given time um even when
5153s	people are like angry or disappointed
5155s	like everybody ultimately I think
5156s	there's one kind of like truism here and
5158s	that everybody wants Diablo 4 to be good
5160s	yeah they W they went and played the
5161s	game hoping for a specific kind of
5163s	experience and they want that you know
5165s	so even when people are like pretty you
5167s	know um you know pointed in the way
5169s	they're talking about things they that
5170s	they feel it's because they're
5171s	passionate about it so yeah it's it's
5173s	it's just kind of undergrading your
5175s	point yeah yeah I think I I can't say it
