Diablo 4 Boss Addresses Xbox Game Pass Rumors

A post on the Diablo 4 subReddit showed off how much luck one person can have while playing. A user named HolySeph1985 posted a video of them exploring a cellar known as  Diablo 4 Items the Fetid Hive, where they were tasked with simply clearing it out completely. Having reached the end of the cellar, the player stumbled into the final room of enemies, three Treasure Goblins. It's a far cry from a typical cellar which usually leads to a unique enemy to fight, but in this case, HolySeph's biggest problem was beating all three before they fled.

Ultimately, HolySeph was able to take down all 3 treasure goblins and completed the Fetid Hive, with multiple rare and unique items dropping. Unfortunately, HolySeph's excitement at finding the goblins led to disappointment as the items dropped didn't end up being anything great. Comments quickly debated the value of Treasure Goblin loot, with one user indicating that their partner ran into a trio of Treasure Goblins in back to back cellars, while they've still yet to come across anything like it. Most users seemed to agree that these enemies are less "Treasure" and more like Junk Goblins.

Recently, players noticed a bug in Diablo 4 that caused the once super rare Uber Uniques to drop a little more consistently. As a result, more than a few players raced to take advantage of the bug that caused these Uber Uniques to appear in Helltide Chests, though following a hot fix, Blizzard confirmed that it would not be removing them from accounts who took advantage of the bug.

Diablo 4 is kicking off its post-launch content with Season of the Malignant, but there is a very good chance that players already know when to expect Season 4. Diablo 4's first season begins on July 20, and will feature six Uniques, seven Legendary Aspects, and the new Malignant Hearts mechanic. Often compared to Legendary Gems from Diablo 3, Malignant Hearts look to add some excitement to jewelry items by augmenting players with powerful situational bonuses.

Though Diablo 4 is missing quality-of-life features such as leaderboards, inventory management, world boss timers, as well as an easy way to reset Paragon Boards and Talent Trees, many players believe there's plenty of potential with its combat and open world. Season of the Malignant is supposed to be the first step towards unlocking that potential, though most fans would argue that the more exciting features are only coming in Season 4.

During the Diablo 4 livestream where Season of the Malignant made its debut, keen-eyed players noticed countdowns on some of the images shared by the developers. One image indicated 98 days, while the other indicated 102 days. If the dates are meant to be viewed at the start of Season 4, then the launch of Season 4 would correspond to October 26, 2023. The biggest source of evidence to support this date was unveiled by Blizzard on July 11, as the new Gameplay Guides video showed the official end date for Season 4 being October 9.

Blizzard had already stated that a Diablo 4 season is meant to last at least three months, and having a pause of two weeks in-between would line up to the seasonal rotation present in Reaper of Souls. That being said, an alternate date for Season 4 could be October 12, if the images from the developer livestream are meant to be taken literally. The new patch rolls out on July 18, but Season of the Malignant in Diablo 4 only starts two days after, which implies that an October 12 launch for Season 4 is very much possible.

Though its theme is currently unknown, players can expect improvements to the currently broken Resistance attribute in Diablo 4, as one of the biggest shortcomings in the game seem to be related to Diablo 4's itemization and Sorcerer class, and Resistances should help fix the issue to a certain degree. Moreover, gems will become crafted materials in Season 4, which will help players save a lot of space in their personal inventory and stash. Whether Season 4 launches on October 12 or cheap Diablo IV Gold October 26, fans will have almost 12 weeks to enjoy Season of the Malignant.
