Diablo 4 patch notes – 1.02 update hotfix nerfs power leveling trick
New Diablo 4 patch notes are here with a pair of Diablo 4 1.02 update hotfixes rolling out overnight to help polish up Blizzard’s long-awaited RPG game as it takes over all our free time.

It has typically been a thing in the other Diablo games as well,
