Diablo 4 receives a new patch: this is everything that changes in Loot Reborn

The new Diablo 4 update is very close and, in addition, promises to radically change the game as we know it. Named Loot Reborn, it doesn’t leave much to the imagination of what it seeks to do: completely change how the item acquisition system works. Something that has been problematic in Diablo 4, as it was in Diablo 3 and Diablo Immortal before it, from day one. And that Blizzard is finally going to tackle.

The biggest change is that now the affixes you will get will be simplified. Until now there were extremely situational affixes, which made potentially good weapons useless because of them. From now on, the affixes will be simpler things, like “+X% damage”, instead of things like +[0.21*100}|1%|] — [0.42*100}|1%|] crushing damage. Yes, it’s a real affix.

To compensate for the simplified loot system, Diablo 4 will introduce two new systems to add depth to items: Tempering and Masterworking. The first will allow us to replace and add affixes to our weapons, adjusting them to our needs. The second will allow us to enhance our affixes, empowering our items. Both of these systems will use materials from the endgame, while Masterworking in particular will require materials from a new, particularly challenging dungeon: The Quarry of the Artificers.

Another problem they will tackle is the rarity system. Since the first Diablo, every item is always better than any of a lower rarity. That wasn’t the case with Diablo 4. There were many occasions where rare items could be better than legendaries. Thanks to this update, legendaries will be better than rares in practically every case, making inventory management easier.

To put an end to the big changes, there is also a reformulation of the Power Codex coming. If until now you could only obtain certain aspects, from now on you will be able to catalog all the Legendary Aspects in the Codex. In fact, you will be able to extract Aspects from objects directly in the Codex, which will give an improvement to that Legendary power for the entire season. Something that will allow you to customize your character in a deeper way.

As evident, Loot Reborn also comes with a large number of minor changes to items, powers, and classes. All of which have been specified in an extensive patch note by Blizzard.

Although Loot Reborn is the most anticipated patch since Diablo 4 was released, we will still have to wait a few days. Because this update will not be released until May 14th. More than enough time for us to take a short vacation to grind everything necessary to get those juicy new legendaries.
