Diablo 4 is already making changes ahead of Season One

pcgamesn.com:

Diablo 4 changes are already beginning to roll out ahead of the Diablo 4 Season 1 start, following community pushback to the seasonal patch notes. Blizzard has already incorporated a Renown buff to speed up the process of earning those bonus rewards, and says that the newly introduced Diablo 4 world tier level locks are being lifted, as it prepares to speak with players about its rationale for dramatic changes to the RPG game.

Following the release of Diablo 4 patch notes 1.1.0, there was significant criticism from the community regarding the very nerf-driven mentality of the update. While it’s possible that Blizzard is just making space for the power of the new Diablo 4 Malignant Hearts, having all your favorite loadouts demolished simply doesn’t feel good. While there’s unfortunately no news on that front yet, there are some very welcome changes to report.

First up is that the Diablo 4 Renown grind is being significantly cut back. In a quiet change made to the massive patch notes, Blizzard has made adjustments to the amount of Renown you’ll get from completing Side Quests and Dungeons. Side Quests have gone from 20 to 30 Renown each, while Dungeon rewards are up from 30 to 40 per completed Dungeon.

Blizzard notes, “This change is retroactive and the additional Renown gain will be applied to characters who have already completed Side Quests and Dungeons.” That should make it a lot quicker to blast your way to level five in each region, netting you a healthy chunk of Diablo 4 Paragon points and dramatically boosting your potential endgame power level.

Community manager Adam ‘PezRadar’ Fletcher also confirms via Twitter that Blizzard will be removing its newly implemented level requirements to access World Tier 3,
