Blizzard is actively emphasizing their commitment to listening to player feedback for Diablo 4, a stance that proved essential following the contentious launch of the 1.1.0 patch. Adam Fletcher, the Community Development Director for Diablo, recently confirmed on the official Diablo 4 forums that the team is actively engaged in developing the 1.1.3 update, possibly marking the final update for the Season of the Malignant.
Fletcher highlighted that version 1.1.3 will primarily focus on addressing broken quests, and he indicated that this new update could potentially be rolled out "in the coming few weeks." Here's a comprehensive overview of the information shared regarding the Diablo 4 1.1.3 patch.
Efforts to Address Quest-Related Bugs in Diablo 4
The development team at Blizzard is dedicated to rectifying issues that hinder quest progression. The 1.1.3 update aims to implement fixes for quests that have become unfinishable due to bugs that break their progression. Fletcher provided this insight while addressing a concern brought up in relation to the Druid: Spirits of The Lost Grove quest on the official Blizzard forums.
In response to a player's report of the issue, Fletcher stated, "Bumping this to note that we know there is a very small subset of players who have fallen into a state where they cannot start/finish certain quests. This is one of those instances. The team has a fix coming but it will be in 1.1.3. I know that may sound a bit away but it should be in the coming few weeks."
A List of Quests Affected by Issues
In addition to the Druid: Spirits of The Lost Grove quest, players have reported other quests affected by similar problems. These include:
- Fury Against Fate: Some players are encountering difficulties in destroying and bypassing the gore-soaked barricade required to complete the quest.
- Desperate Remedies: Users participating in co-op play have noted their inability to finalize the quest after placing the amulet on the altar.
- In Desperate Times: For certain players, the "Help" emote activation fails to prompt a response from the statue, preventing quest completion.
As the development team strives to enhance the player experience in Diablo 4, the upcoming 1.1.3 update aims to address these quest-related challenges and improve overall gameplay.
