In Patch 2.4.3 of Diablo 3, there will be some changes to items. Additionally, the new Darkness in Tristram dungeon will be activated.
The new Patch 2.4.3 is on the way and will bring new content to the game. Among other things, the Darkness in Tristram dungeon will be available, played in the style of Diablo 1. Furthermore, the developers have revised some class and set items.
In Greater Nephalem Rifts, you have the chance to get another attempt for leveling up a gem. Also, various monsters have been worked on so that they, for example, no longer burrow for such a long time. We will show you what changes the new Patch 2.4.3 brings.
Darkness in Tristram
During BlizzCon, the developers of Diablo III announced this dungeon in the style of Diablo I. The Darkness in Tristram event is intended to give players the opportunity to return to the dungeon where the game began. If you go to Old Tristram and enter the portal by the well, you will enter the world of Diablo I.
A pixel filter provides a retro look in this dungeon. In addition, camera movements and animations are different. While you are playing the event, you should interact with all possible objects and persons to find references to Diablo I. In the video, the Blizzard team tells you how this event came to be in the game.
You can play this event throughout January. In the depths of the pixelated dungeon, you will find transmogrifications, achievements, and more surprises.
Changes to Greater Nephalem Rifts
If you want to compete with other players in Diablo III, you often do so in Greater Nephalem Rifts. Here, there are now some changes intended to improve the gaming experience. The developers have made the distribution of monsters and the sizes of various levels more uniform. On average, it should now take two to four levels to complete a Nephalem Rift.
Additionally, the areas will now change more frequently, so you won’t see the same terrain multiple times in a row. Another bonus is for the Survivors among you. If you manage to not die during a Greater Nephalem Rift, you will get an extra chance to upgrade a legendary gem.
Revised Set Items in Season 9
Various items from Diablo III have been changed. For example, Akkhan’s Talisman has been added as the seventh set piece of Akkhan’s armor. The Barbarian enhances his damage through the saffron-colored bandage and Crusaders increase the damage of Blessed Hammer with the help of a two-handed sword. Additionally, there is a new gem in the game that regularly adds 12,500% weapon damage to enemies.

More Comfortable Gameplay due to Monster Fixes
Many players did not enjoy playing against certain monsters in Diablo III, as it took a long time to kill them. This was not necessarily due to their high hit points, but because they would burrow to delay their death. There have now been some changes:
- Enemies that jump at you (for example, burrowing stompers or assassins) can now be killed in mid-air.
- Enemies that temporarily become invulnerable (for example, sand sharks or rockworms) no longer burrow for such a long time.
Some of the enemy affixes have been changed. These include Shielded, Reflected Damage, and Electrified. Additionally, there is a new affix called Steamroller. Enemies with the Steamroller affix are immune to control loss effects but move slower and take more damage.
Dyes Now Available with Myriam
Players among you who regularly dyed their clothing can breathe a sigh of relief. The dyes are now collected in a different location. Myriam the Mystic now has all colors in stock and allows you to conveniently dye your equipment without having to take long detours.
