Diablo 4 Season 1, Patch 1.1 Hotfixes: July 21st

Update: the hotfix notes have had many bug fixes added. They will be live for players within the next few hours.

The announced hotfix notes have arrived! They bring Nightmare Dungeon nerfs where monster power has been reduced, so that level 100s will feel like 70s previously. Here are the full details. So let’s take a look!

Hotfix is currently being deployed.

Players will start to see the NMD changes but not everyone as it usually takes a couple hours for this to populate to everyone. Will keep everyone informed once they do.

HOTFIX 3 – JULY 21, 2023 – 1.1.0

THIS HOTFIX HAS NOT DEPLOYED AND WILL BE UPDATED LATER THIS EVENING ONCE IT HAS BEEN RELEASED WITH ADDITIONAL FIXES.

Gameplay Update

We are implementing a reduction to overall monster power levels in Nightmare dungeons. The new top range for tier 100 will feel like what tier 70 was previously.

Developer Note: Although these values make it appear that the higher tiers are easier than lower tiers, this is not the case because the monsters also benefit from being significantly higher level than players in higher Nightmare Dungeon tiers.

Examples
Tier 35

HP reduced by ~2%
Damaged reduced by ~1%

Tier 50

HP reduced by ~20%
Damage reduced by ~13%

Tier 70

HP reduced by ~60%
Damage reduced by 54%

Tier 100

HP reduced by ~82%
Damage reduced by ~79%

Fixed an issue where the dungeons Buried Halls and Endless Gates dungeons were not giving players proper rewards upon completion.
Fixed an issue where the Akhan’s Grasp Nightmare Dungeon was not giving players proper rewards upon completion.
Fixed an issue where the Moonrage Malignant Power would cause the Wolves power to be unequipped from the action bar.
Fixed an issue where the Subterranean Legendary aspect was dealing far less damage than intended.
Fixed an issue where the Frozen Terror Malignant Power could also fear the player with it equipped.

Further stability improvements
