Blizzard has released its ninth Diablo IV patch since the game released last week, and it contains a nerf for elite monster spawns in popular XP farming dungeons. Fans aren’t too happy with the change, pointing out that the nerfed dungeons were some of the most enjoyable to run in the game.
Previous Diablo patches have tweaked spawn rates to try to balance out overly popular dungeons, with the last six patches containing “further adjustments to elite mob rates in dungeons.” The most recent patch also comes with a developer note, which adds, “We are normalizing the density of elite mobs that spawn in dungeons to ensure that no particular dungeon is clearly more efficient to run through than others”.
