Diablo 4 Title Update 1.3.3 Released, Full Patch Notes Revealed

Leave a comment

Blizzard has just released Title Update 1.3.3 for its action hack n slash RPG, Diablo 4. According to the release notes, this latest patch adds six Vampiric Powers to the game. Moreover, it introduces a new competitive challenge, called Gauntlet.

Patch 1.3.3 also brings a lot of balance tweaks to pretty much all classes. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. To avoid a wall of text, I won’t include them below. However, those interested can find all of the balance tweaks and changes here.

Update 1.3.3 comes with a bunch of fixes for game bugs. For example, it sorts out a problem where if you died during the Echo of Lilith fight with the camera zoomed out, it wouldn’t reset. Another fix is for issues where you couldn’t interact with certain objects for quests while riding a mount. Also, it tackles a problem where an attack switching from melee to Crossbow would give double bonuses from the Precision and Weapon Mastery Rogue passives.

Blizzard says the new patch has some performance and stability improvements. But don’t get too excited. I personally don’t think it will make the game run a lot faster on your computer. Right now, Blizzard is more focused on fixing problems, making balance tweaks, and adding new stuff to the game. So, don’t expect a magical fix for all the game issues on your PC. However, it might help with the crashes you’ve been dealing with.

Like always, Battlenet will download this update the next time you launch its client. Below you can also find its complete changelog.
