Today, on July 7th, the 1st update for Diablo Immortal has finally been released. After more than a month, there are new contents in the game. MeinMMO tells you what’s included in the latest patch.
When does the update come? Since 3:00 AM server time on July 7th, the update has been active. So you can start testing the new contents right away. The maintenance for the patch took place the day before.
If you played yesterday, you don’t need to download another update. Otherwise, the download size is approximately 450 MB, although some players report that they had to download the entire game again (around 12 GB).
With the new raid boss Vitaath, one of the new contents was already playable ahead of time. However, the update brings even more new contents.
The 1st update includes numerous changes and bug fixes. However, one of the biggest criticisms has not been addressed: the legendary gems. In the video, we reveal how they work and where to find them:
Diablo Immortal: Patch Notes for the 1st Update
These are the new contents: With the reset at 3:00 AM, a new battle pass has been activated. This again offers 40 levels with rewards and subsequently for each additional level a chest with the slowly dwindling Hilt. Rewards include:
- Scrap and magical dust
- legendary equipment
- the legendary gems ‘Fervent Fang’ (2 stars) and ‘Seled’s Weakening’ (1 star)
- rare and legendary emblems
- Scoria
- Hilt
- normal gems
- Spells
- Candidate keys
- Cosmetics
The battle pass offers, as before, a free path and a paid upgraded path. Cosmetics like the new Blood Oath set and the associated weapons are available for the upgrade for €4.99. The portal skin, a portrait frame, and 14 levels of ascent cost €14.99.
The only new content besides Vitaath is a weekend event that takes place from July 15th to July 18th at 3:00 AM server time each day. The ‘Hungry Moon’ is a world event where you should collect moon shards.
You can exchange the shards for blessings. For 7 blessings, you get a random reward, and with ‘enough blessings’, the moon is said to bestow its ‘favor’ upon you. What exactly this entails, we do not know yet.
These changes exist: In addition to the new contents, there are some adjustments to existing content. Among other things, monks and wizards receive a buff. Both were on the tier list of Diablo Immortal at the lower ranks so far.
For monks, the damage of Exploding Hand is increased, as well as some legendaries adjusted that revolve around this spell. The wizard receives improvements to Arcane Wind, the legendary Syldra’s Teeth, and Blitznova.
Gameplay from all classes can be seen here in the video:
Additionally, several bugs have been fixed. One of the most important changes is the adjustment of spawn rates in Zoltun Kul’s Library and Mount Zavain. Both locations have been popular farming spots so far, but were also criticized for AFK farmers and bots.
Furthermore, several minor bugs in the general gameplay, conflict cycle, battlegrounds, and the UI have been fixed. You can find more details in the official patch notes and regarding the hotfixes for the PC beta.
What comes next? In the outlook, the developers reveal that more changes are coming. What exactly remains under wraps. Only one new piece of information is available: The next update will be released at the end of the month (July) and is expected to include class switching:
