Blizzard has released its ninth Diablo IV hotfix since the game released last week, and it contains a nerf for elite monster spawns in popular XP-farming dungeons. Some fans aren't too happy about the change, pointing out that the nerfed dungeons were some of the most enjoyable to run in the game.
Previous Diablo hotfixes have tweaked spawn rates to try and balance overly popular dungeons, with the last six fixes containing «further adjustments to Elite monster rates in dungeons.» The most recent patch also comes with a developer note, which adds, «we are standardizing the density of elite monsters that spawn in dungeons to ensure that no particular dungeon is clearly more efficient to run through than others.»
