The game was first released for Microsoft Windows and OS X in January 2016, which followed a year-long early access development period. We’ll probably see our first big balance pass on classes near the start of Season 1.Darkest Dungeon is a roguelike role-playing video game developed and published by Red Hook Studios. This balance pass only buffs classes, focusing mainly on Basic Skills (the first skill each class earns and the one that generates each class’ resource. Good news for everyone’s characters so far. The rest of the patch notes cover bug fixes and balance changes. It should help folks in the early parts of World Tier III or IV while they look for gear upgrades. We’ll see how much XP gains there are, but I’m glad to see Blizzard increase them, especially the Whisper missions. No more hunting down the closest waypoint and riding your horse to them. The devs are also ditching the level requirement for the weekly bonus caches earned from taking down world bosses.Īnd Nightmare Dungeons get an excellent quality of life change as we can now teleport directly to them via the map. Blizzard notes this “will now more consistently drop higher quality loot.” Loot is also improving, specifically from the Helltide Roaming boss (called Kixxarth, and is a level 72 boss every time I’ve seen it). Fixed an issue where no experience was awarded for completing the hold out style event that can occur after finishing dungeon objectives.Significantly increased rewarded experience from completing individual Whispers across the board.Helltide chests now provide substantially more bonus experience when opened.Significantly increased the experience gained from killing monsters in Nightmare Dungeons.Significantly increased the experience awarded for completing Nightmare Dungeons.They describe the experience awarded for completing most endgame activities as “significantly increased.”

Blizzard hopes these XP boosts with the latest patch will make farming unnecessary. So much so that folks kept hunting down XP exploits to help them reach 70 and then 100. Once you hit 50, Diablo 4’s leveling becomes a slog.
