Shadow patching is real

These “devs” are definitely applying live modifications to the game without notice, I noticed it several times with my previous char, now in season 1 after 1.1.1 at level 80+ strong builds, we could clear easily 52+ ND (we did around 25/30, all kinds of mobs) the next day, out of nowhere, we cant even clear 45/46, lot of fast fire mobs are now present and everything onehsots. It become nearly unplayable and not only for myself. Is their way to force people to stay longer in this shell of a game? bad idea.

For developers its a best outcome that you take so long to level up. More time you spend ingame=you like game more .

Unfortunately it doesnt work like that, when the game is frustrating and has no social aspect, no content and no balancing like d4 is, staying in it is annoying but we do it for the progression right? but when the progression gets ruined, meaning you achieve something with lot of time and effort and it gets taken away from you, like they did with the first patch ad now with these shadow changes, probably for the reasons you mention, thats just unprofessional developers, and makes people quit, hence the current D4 numbers. I guess now they just change stuff willy nilly with no patch, beauty of always online servers

Its enough to see what “developers” are in their last video; some vocal frying annoying woke “wo-man” with a joypad, who cant even play her own game and some other wannabe alternative little girl who thinks shes some kind of pro but knows nothing. Instead of those 2 pointless individuals, should be senior developers who knows diablo saga inside out.

could also be bad RNG to receive worse mobs?

They just drop another ninja patch 1 min ago

Nah nothing like that, every dungeon now has different version of those one hit death fire throwing mobs and those fast ones that chase you non stop. After 1.1.2 they dampened a bit the effects so we can push 50’s but its still heavily unbalanced. At lvl 80/90 with the strong builds we have, we should be able to push 80+ NDs not struggle in 50s

That “Ninja” Patch was announced 5 days ago.
The patch notes went up on 11th August

Im not talking of 1.1.1 or 1.1.2. Its about live modifications out of patching, unannounced and not mentioned after. And they are real.

They do drop live hotfixes, which are added to the patchnotes page

But I don’t think they are randomly making mobs harder or stronger on the fly.
If this was the case, content creators & build testers would notice it & comment on it.

I dont think so, I played thousand of hours on d3, and also loads on D4, I really know when sommething changes and this was drastic. Theres is no way RNG wipes your 80+ char on NDs 45 permanently after you can clear easily any 50+ for days
