Blizzard developers promise to nerf billion-damage builds in Diablo 4, as the team behind the highly anticipated Action RPG game responds to player feedback and concerns regarding the current state of the game. The team aims to bring these powerful builds under control, with players who have invested time and effort into creating them potentially having to adjust their strategies.
This news comes as a response to player concerns about the state of Diablo 4, and particularly the potential for billion-damage builds to dominate the highly anticipated game’s balanced gameplay experience.
Diablo 4 team working on finding solutions
“There has been a lot of discussion about the current state of Diablo 4, including concerns about some of the most powerful builds that are currently available,” the Diablo 4 team writes in a Diablo 4 Discord ‘State of the Game’ post. “We want to be clear that we are actively working on finding solutions to these issues.”
While players get excited about the potential for Diablo 4 mastery and the creation of unique character builds, the team behind the game says it’s aware of the impact these builds have on the overall gameplay.
“It goes without saying that these builds impact the balance of the game,” it says. “When it comes to character balance, we strive to create an engaging and dynamic gameplay experience that encourages experimentation and strategic thinking – not only in terms of personal skill but also in terms of character customization. These billion-damage builds undermine that goal and go against everything we want to achieve.”
As a response to player feedback and concerns about the game’s current state, the team says it will be making adjustments to the game mechanics to reduce the power of these billion-damage builds.
This will bring more diversity to character builds and make the game more challenging, as players aim to create builds that aren’t simply designed to deal massive amounts of damage.
“These changes will take time as we identify and implement the necessary adjustments,” the team says. “We are committed to continuously improving Diablo 4 based on your feedback and ensuring a fun and challenging experience for all.”
While some players may be disappointed by the upcoming nerfs, it’s a necessary step to maintain a fair and balanced gameplay experience.
