During yesterday's official live stream, Blizzard revealed that the much anticipated Season 4 of Diablo IV will be released on May 14 across all platforms. Titled Loot Reborn, the new season makes major changes to how players can obtain and improve equipment. So far, the community's feedback on the Public Test Realm has been very positive. The itemization changes are so wide-ranging that they won't be limited to the Seasonal Realm, so even players in the Eternal Realm will be affected. To start with, the developers have significantly decreased the amount of items that drop whenever you slay monsters, which […]
