The December update for Diablo Immortal promises plenty of new content: a completely new zone, new bosses, and above all, great loot. MeinMMO gives you a brief overview of the most important features and explains what to watch out for.
What kind of update is this? “Terror’s Tide” is the second major content update for Blizzard’s mobile game Diablo Immortal. As is customary with major updates, new content is added to the game and existing features are revised. On PC, the update is approximately 9GB in size.
When will the update be released? “Terror’s Tide” has been live since December 14, 2022. The core contents of the update are already available, and Blizzard has promised to unlock more content in the coming weeks.
However, Blizzard has also announced that the next major content update will not come until the end of January 2023 to Sanctuary. During the holidays, the developers are taking a little break. But don’t worry, “Terror’s Tide” has enough content to keep you busy during this time.
You want to try out Diablo Immortal with the new update, but you’re not sure which class you want to play? Gameplay for all classes is available in the MeinMMO video.
Server-Paragon system makes the game easier, the less you play
How does the Server-Paragon system work? The server Paragon levels are a catch-up system. However, with the new update, there are some important technical changes. These are mainly intended to help casual players.
The Server-Paragon is a fixed level that increases by 2 each day. If you are below this average, you will receive increased experience until you catch up to the majority of players. If you are above the Server-Paragon level, the XP bonus is removed.
This system thus serves two functions: It helps players who rarely have time to play to catch up. At the same time, it makes excessive grinding unattractive, thus setting a kind of level ceiling. Allegedly, there will even be 0% XP at some point.
What changes with the new update? Blizzard is generous and increases the amount of experience points you receive if you are below the Server-Paragon level. Your chances of finding legendary items and set items will also increase.
- The Server-Paragon of all servers below a Server-Paragon of 320 will be increased to 320. This gives a boost to such servers that came into the game later, such as in China. Diablo Immortal started later there, allegedly due to just one sentence.
- The bonus experience you receive when you are below the Server-Paragon level will increase up to 800%. Previously, 400% was the limit.
- The chance of finding legendary items and set items will be increased by 250%.
- These values decrease progressively the closer you get to the Server-Paragon. Those who play less can thus catch up faster.
“Terror’s Tide” with plenty of new content
This is the main feature: The main content of the update is the island “Stormpoint” and the associated quest. Long ago, this island was used by the inhabitants of Sanctuary to make the worst criminals and political prisoners disappear.
However, after a shard of the Worldstone crashed near the island, it was tainted by vile magic and plagued by terrible creatures. The island is a new area for characters at level 60 who have reached at least Hell 3. In the guide, we will tell you how to change the difficulty.
Are there new difficulty levels? With the new update, new difficulty levels are also introduced. Blizzard has granted players 3 new Hell levels (Hell 6-8). However, to unlock them, you first need to master the “Voidwound” relic of Hell.
Which bosses must be defeated to unlock new Hell levels?
- Defeat the boss Lassal to unlock Hell I
- Defeat the boss Vitaath to unlock Hell II
- Defeat the boss Gorgothra to unlock Hell III
- Defeat the Beledwe and Gishtur to unlock Hell IV
- Defeat the boss Izilech to unlock Hell V
What else is new? In addition to these major features, there are also many smaller changes and adjustments. The most important of these have been listed here:
- “Brumaltine” holiday events from December 14, 2022, to January 4, 2023
- 5 new legendary gems
- You can customize your appearance at the new barber in Westmark
- “Recruit a Friend” promotion from December 14, 2022, to January 11, 2023
