Blizzard finally caved on Diablo 4’s disastrous new season with a patch that reverts almost everything players hated: ‘Not every idea lands exactly as intended’

Blizzard Entertainment has released an emergency patch (3.1.1a) for Diablo 4 in response to player criticism about the game's Season of Death Awakening. The patch improves Mythic drop rates and removes the crafted Mythic limit, addressing player frustrations regarding the grind to acquire Mythic items. Players have reported an increase in Mythic Uniques from the new seasonal boss and the ability to craft and use multiple Mythics. Blizzard plans to release another patch to further enhance drop rates and is considering reinstating the crafted limit for Mythics created in the Horadric Cube in the next season.

Civilization 7’s new initiative lets you test features before they go live, including the one you’ve all been asking for

Firaxis is launching the Firaxis Feature Workshop to enhance player engagement and satisfaction for Civilization 7 by incorporating community feedback. The studio is developing a mode that allows players to guide a single civilization through all three ages, responding to player criticism of the current gameplay. Creative Director Ed Beach mentioned that they are playtesting this feature and inviting community members to help refine it. Following the recent patch 1.3.0, which included a naval rework and new civilizations, the team will focus on larger features like the single-civ mode and the Workshop, with plans for smaller, less frequent updates. Early participants in the Workshop will test upcoming changes to Legacy Paths and Victories. Applications to join the Workshop are currently open, and successful applicants will have access to a private Discord server for feedback.
