Vessel of Hatred Expansion
This exciting new addition, launched on October 7th, 2024 and while many people were thrilled about this, there were a few problems with getting it launched smoothly! The server issues affected the overall reception of the expansion but overall players really appreciated this great addition to Diablo IV!
Spiritborn - The New Class
The real meat and potatoes for this new game, are the mechanics! Spiritborn is this awesome new addition that many players have quickly fallen in love with! This is one powerful character to play as and one reason for its popularity is the ease at which they're able to defeat enemies. This unique ability also helped to boost this expansion's overall appeal!
This character has some incredible new mechanics!
- This class wields a range of weapons such as glaives, polearms and quarterstaves!
- Gamers also get some awesome Guardian Spirits.
- What makes them even more amazing? These spirits do all kinds of damage to large groups of enemies! Each Guardian Spirit ( Jaguar, Gorilla, Eagle, and Centipede) brings something really interesting to this expansion and its abilities!
- The Centipede is great, as its poison damage, is really effective at destroying waves of enemies. While simultaneously keeping the gamer healing!
The Power Of Spiritborn
This character was created by the game's designers as something that was going to be intentionally OP (overpowered)! That came directly from the game's creative director Rod Fergusson, and was something that really made the new game incredibly compelling, even generating excitement for the team from the first few weeks.
What did Fergusson have to say about the class that’s been so beloved by Diablo IV players. The fact that this character was released as broken meant this character would generate enthusiasm around this Diablo IV expansion. If anything, they aimed to have a fun experience for those eager to try out their new characters and to really emphasize what a special undertaking this new class really was!
Will Spiritborn Be Nerfed?
Blizzard's goal, and a huge challenge is that they keep all their classes balanced, meaning Diablo IV needs these ongoing updates! Nerfs help create an amazing world of Diablo IV and as something that they continue to hone and refine, it means players will be able to discover the best version of Diablo IV that exists.
Gamers expect changes! For Spiritborn, many expect changes over time that may impact this OP status but that is something for a new, upcoming season, when players may need a new way to feel completely challenged! There may also be chances that Spiritborn remains popular for some time as the popularity will undoubtedly continue as fans keep discovering the capabilities of Diablo IV's Vessel of Hatred
