IGGM - Is Diablo 4 Season 8 Really An Exciting Boss Challenge?

On March 11, the game developer released the PTR of Diablo 4 Season 8. After a week of experience, players have different opinions on the content of the new season.

 

Diablo 4 Season 8: Belial's Return is speculated to be officially released at the end of Season 7, that is, on April 29. Judging from the theme alone, Belial will return to Sanctuary this time. As one of the Lesser Evils in Diablo, its return will definitely bring new excitement to the game.

 

At present, the most obvious feeling of players about Season 8 is the upgrade of the game difficulty, which means that players will have to invest more resources in the future, such as Diablo 4 gold or Diablo 4 items. The reason why the developer did this may be that it found that players always entered the Endgame too early in previous seasons. This is particularly evident in Season of Witchcraft. It only takes an amazing nine hours for players to reach level 60! In order to change the status quo, Diablo 4 has modified the probability of item drops, and players will say goodbye to the Legendary items that were easy to obtain in the past.

 

In the new season, the theme of the game will change from witch power to boss power. This is a new power system. Players will collect their power by defeating 24 bosses for their own use. Each power contains Main Power and a Modifier Power. Players can use a Main Power and use three Modifier Powers to strengthen it. This will have a lot of room and possibilities for the construction of classes, and will experience a very different way of attacking than before.

 

In addition, Season 8 has also reset the Endgame boss fights. Lair Bosses are divided into three levels: Initiate, Greater, and Exalted. After players break through various levels, they can fight the most difficult battle with Belial, the Lord of Lies in Exalted difficulty. Although the mechanism that players need to spend special materials to summon them has been changed this time, they need to spend the corresponding Lair Key to collect the spoils of defeating the boss. This seems to be a positive change, as players only need to spend when they succeed.

 

Compared with the previous Hell Tide and Headhunting activities, the main way for players to obtain Boss abilities-the Phantom Invasion activity has also changed. The level of boss changes has been improved. After entering the event at the location marked on the map, players need to defeat the phantom monster first, and then defeat the enraged phantom boss. At this point, if you are lucky enough to defeat two waves of enemies, Belial will attack you as the final boss. If your ability or equipment is not enough to withstand its heavy blows, then I strongly recommend that you use Diablo 4 gold to level up or get better equipment.

 

Although Diablo 4 Season 8 has undergone a reform in difficulty, it has not added any additional interesting mechanisms at present, which is also a point of dissatisfaction for many players. However, there is still some time before the official release, and the specific development is still worth looking forward to.
