Why is Diablo 4 down?

The maintenance is being carried out to implement a number of bug fixes and improvements. The patch notes for the update have not yet been released, but Blizzard has said that it will include changes to the following:

• More XP from Nightmare Dungeons
• Ability to teleport to nightmare dungeons
• New characters will have map and lilith altars unlocked
• Renown earned for statues of Lilith and map exploration will persist between seasons
• Map fog of war will be removed
• Quests will be reset for seasonal characters, but may be changed in future
• Seasonal characters will need to earn Tier III, IV, V renown rewards
• Stats or paragon obtained from Lilith statues will remain
• Will need to finish renown from waypoints, quests, dungeon completions each season to round out renown and unlock paragon points, the third skill point, and obols
• Gem/inventory friction addressed (but season2)
• Material cap increases
• Resistances in higher WTs made more impactful than now (season2)
• Disconnect protection for hardcore
• Scaling? item power addresses scaling, focus on item power instead of levels?
• Druid barb unique drops will be fixed – uniques of other classes will still occur
• LFG tools looked at/workshopped

Additional notes from Q&A portion

• No plans for more robust TP to player features.
• Buffs to many classes/systems, and resource generation for some builds may be touched.
• Mob density at floor (baseline), may go up from here. (XP factor was discussed, not fun factor.)
• More options for character customization, and some new options for changing current characters (long term timeline).
• Completed sidequest tab? Improvements to journal and what it tracks.
• Search functions for stash/dungeons beyond console keywords not planned, but will be evaluated.

Standouts worth mentioning:

• Material cap increase.
• Class buffs.
• Disconnect protection.

In Diablo 4 Hardcore mode, players’ characters are permanently deleted upon death. If it’s your fault, fair enough. But if there are server troubles or your internet connection drops, it’s treated as a player death.

What can I do while Diablo 4 is down?

While Diablo 4 is down, you can:

• Check out the patch notes for the upcoming update
• Watch some Diablo 4 gameplay videos
• Read some Diablo 4 news articles
• Discuss Diablo 4 on the game’s subreddit

Hopefully the big update will come after the Diablo 4 maintenance. The 13+ pages of patch notes should cover the main issues and start getting the game to the “polished” state the devs in the Campfire Chat have envisioned.
