Diablo 4 devs walk back patch changes as Metacritic score plummets

gamesradar.com:

Diablo 4's devs are already rolling back changes from its latest patch as players are review bombing it.

Diablo 4 patch 1.1.0 went live earlier this week, ahead of Season 1 launching later today on July 20. Blizzard immediately acknowledged a lot of players didn't like the patch, with it nerfing a vast amount of builds and characters at large, including in particular the Sorcerer, which players believed was basically useless before the new patch kicked the class while it was down. 

One change that wasn't in the new patch was a change to the World Tier 3 and 4 level requirements. The new patch quietly required players to be level 40 to play on World Tier 3, and level 60 to access World Tier 4, which was discovered and chronicled by the YouTuber just below.

Diablo 4's developers are already rolling back this change. Global community development director Adam Fletcher was hot on the case yesterday, revealing that both the level requirements for World Tiers 3 and 4 would be rolled back and removed entirely. We don't know when these changes will kick into effect, but you'd think it'd be sooner rather than later.

Additionally, Fletcher took to the Blizzard forums shortly after the patch went live to reveal there'd be several fixes coming for unintended bugs in the new patch. In particular, there'll be a fix for the amount of Aberrant Cinders that Helltide Chests drop, which will mercifully be good news for those who're repeatedly grinding out the endgame activity.

Fletcher's also confirmed via Twitter that the Hatred's Chosen buff has been re-enabled with the new hotfixes. You might recall that Diablo 4 players were manipulating the Hatred's Chosen
