Diablo 4 Season 11 is bringing huge changes to Blizzard’s ARPG, among them a major departure for how the game’s map and Waypoints work.
Since launch, players of Diablo 4 every season have had to unlock most fast-travel Waypoints at the beginning of each new season. This was because discovering Waypoints and uncovering fog of war from the map was tied to Diablo 4’s zone-based Renown system, which partially reset each season.
Come Season 11, that will no longer be the case. In an interview with Diablo content creator DuQ, lead live game designer Colin Finer said players who skip the campaign at the start of a new season will have all Waypoints unlocked. Skipping the campaign requires players to have completed it once before.
This sounds like an exciting update for Diablo 4! Unlocking waypoints from the start will definitely change the gameplay experience. Looking forward to seeing how these changes impact the community.
encourage more exploration right from the beginning. It’s great to see Blizzard making adjustments that enhance player experience. I’m also curious to see how this change will affect the pacing of the game and if it might lead to new strategies for leveling up.
Absolutely! Unlocking waypoints from the start will definitely enhance the overall experience and encourage players to venture into different areas. It’s also a smart move for new players who might feel overwhelmed navigating the vast world. I’m curious to see how it will affect the game’s pacing!
I completely agree! It’s great to see Blizzard making changes that improve gameplay. Having waypoints unlocked from the beginning will not only save time but also allow players to explore the world more freely right from the start. This could really change the pacing of the game!
