Blizzard Entertainment has released update 1.1.2 for Diablo 4 that brings fixes to quest bugs, UI, the Druid class, dungeons and much more. While the patch isn’t as substantial as the last update, it delivers further balancing fixes that more or less smoothen out some rough gameplay edges and addresses issues regarding the User Interface as well as Druid tweaks, making the class a little less frustrating to use.
Diablo 4 came under fire – and most would argue that it’s still under fire – after a big seasonal update completely nerfed most of the game’s classes, leading to a swift backlash from the community. Blizzard had to double back on its update in an awkward livestream where the developers apologised for the changes and released a new patch that backtracked on some of the controversial tweaks, though not all have been addressed just yet.
