Hey, remember the ruins of Eridu? Diablo 4’s dungeons, which became a great place for power leveling thanks to their numerous elite enemies? Well, get that out of your head, because Blizzard’s Ninth Hotfix for Diablo 4 The easiest dungeons to conquer have been nerfed, elite spawn rates plummeted, and really work Earn additional Paragon points from level 50 onwards.
Hotfix 9 was released last Monday, June 12th, to “normalize the density of elite monsters spawning in dungeons” in order to ensure that “certain dungeons cannot be traversed significantly more efficiently than others”. changes have been made for the purpose of That means places like Eridu will no longer be home to the elite, filled with noticeably more XP and loot than Diablo’s other wet holes in the walls. As you can imagine, fans aren’t thrilled.
The Diablo 4 subreddit is already flooded with rebellious players, with multiple threads dedicated to complaints about the patch garnering thousands of upvotes and various glorious Reddit awards. One of his most popular threads is audio denialtitled “Dear Developers, XP Worst Elsewhere, Run Dungeons To Level Up!” This post has over 4,000 upvotes and seven awards at the time of writing. , criticizing Blizzard for undermining Diablo’s current power leveling arena instead of enhancing alternate sources of XP.
AudioRejectz says the reason why Diablo players, especially solo players, keep returning to XP farms like Eridu is “Since XP sucks everywhere else, it’s simple.” The thread also reads, “World Boss, Hell’s Tide, [Nightmare Dungeons] Everyone needs an XP buff” and “It’s so frustrating” [Blizzard] Leveling up becomes increasingly difficult, especially for solo players. “
That sentiment is now spreading across the Diablo community, as evidenced by the sheer number of upvotes.

We go through the same cycle.”

You can see the image.
I’m such an austere Diablo player that I can’t really get upset about this change, but I understand the community’s frustration. It’s maddening when you feel that each patch to the game takes something away from you instead of adding something. It also creates a feeling that the player’s understanding of the game and its mechanics is being punished. I suspect his XP farm in the game probably needed some tweaking, but I wish Blizzard had given me something like a carrot to accompany the stick. Maybe hotfix 10?
