Getting the Shako in Diablo 4 is now tricky once again, but Blizzard only disabled the egregious farming method after many players had already received their Harlequin Crest drops. It's unclear whether the players will be allowed to keep these items or if the developer may wish to Diablo 4 Items purge them off the server instead. As the Harlequin Crest is a fairly powerful item, Blizzard may also choose to nerf it for the remainder of the pre-season progression so that it doesn't massively affect the game's economy.

Of course, it is worth highlighting that Diablo 4's economy is quite punishing by default, with Blizzard seemingly taking particular care not to allow players to become too rich too quickly. One of the problems with live-service titles is that small mistakes can have massive consequences down the line, especially in regard to how player resources are managed, and Blizzard is clearly playing it safe for the time being.

Diablo 4 is still missing key features ahead of the release of Season of the Malignant, and it's currently unclear whether Blizzard even has some of them on the production docket. Whatever the case may be, July 20 isn't far out, and if the latest Shako farming event is anything to go by, some players are sure to expect a new Diablo 4 loot cave to pop up alongside the seasonal update.

Blizzard's Diablo 4 has just released a minor patch that mainly focuses on dealing with bugs and gameplay issues in the action-RPG. Announced a few hours after the second Diablo 4 Developer Livestream, the small update can now be downloaded and applied by players across multiple platforms where the game is available.News has recently dropped that Diablo 4's Season 4 is happening on July 20.

The second Developer Livestream tackled what players can expect for the duration of the event, especially the kind of rewards they will get when they create a new seasonal character or avail of the game's Battle Pass. So, both the fans and the development team have a lot to do before the start of the season. One of which is keeping the game playable and up-to-date, even if the changes are as minor as the ones found in the latest Diablo 4 patch.

Diablo 4 Players Say Hardcore Contest Winners List is InaccurateOn Twitter, Blizzard announced that Diablo 4's Patch 1.0.4 is now available across all platforms. Linking to the list of patch notes on the website, most of the fixes center around gameplay bugs, errors that players encounter in quests and dungeons, and issues with the user interface.

One of the most important updates included in this patch is that Helltide chests will now drop Unique items. This answers the question of why players who have been farming Helltide events have not been able to get any Unique items to drop, no matter how many Aberrant Cinders they have used to open up the chests found in each session.

Blizzard has also decided to increase the maximum cap for the players' crafting materials bag in this particular patch. Originally, the bag could only hold up to 9,999 of each material, but the update has increased it to 99,999. Players who have encountered the frustrating issue with the Diablo 4 blacksmith because of the crafting materials bag cap will probably find it resolved once they have applied Patch 1.0.4. This also means that fans can also keep grinding and collecting materials without having to worry about reaching the maximum amount anytime soon.

Given how much there is to prepare for before Diablo 4's Season of the Malignant finally starts, it is not surprising for the game's development team to slowly patch up minor problems with small updates like these. Hopefully Patch 1.0.4 will further improve the Diablo 4 experience, and that fans will appreciate all the effort the team's put into cheap D4 Gold the game so far.

The Diablo 4 community is quite happy with the game but has pointed out that a lack itemization is its biggest problem. Diablo 4 has a massive collection of weapons and armor for every character class, but players usually end up getting more of the loot they don't want, which gets frustrating in endgame activities.
