Blizzard has just released the latest Diablo 4 patch notes detailing the changes in the 1.1.4 update, including experience buffs and a variety of bug fixes.
Diablo 4 is one of those RPG games that never really slows down, as Blizzard regularly releases updates to improve gameplay and player quality of life. The latest Diablo 4 update is no exception, bringing experience buffs and various bug fixes. If you've had trouble reaching the maximum level in the past, Patch 1.1.4 aims to make the grind a bit easier.
If you take a look at the Diablo 4 Patch Notes, you'll notice a significant change in the experience gained from the Urn of Aggression. Instead of a bonus of 8%, you now receive an experience bonus of 20%. Blizzard says that the developers have decided to "increase the overall experience bonus of the Urn of Aggression to make the blessing of the season more effective and to help players aiming for level 100 a little faster."
This is a welcome change for all Diablo 4 classes. The Urn of Aggression previously provided a decent buff, but it pales in comparison to the updated experience increase. If you're wondering about other changes, the straightforward path to the Diablo 4 endgame is not the only updated feature. The 1.1.4 Patch includes a variety of bug fixes, from general progression issues to dialogue problems.
