Summary of "Wait.. A NEW Dungeon in Diablo Immortal?!"

Storyline & Game Updates Overview

Diablo Immortal's next major update is arriving in September 2024, coinciding with the release of a new event and expansion.
The update will expand the Sharable Wilds questline with new story content, featuring characters like Ryan Queen.
A large portion of the Sharable Wilds map, previously inaccessible, will be opened, revealing a massive new zone.
An autumn event is expected, likely similar to the successful Bounds of Realms event, which is intended as an annual celebration.
The summer event is probably a re-run of the Earth Stone event, so no new content expected there.
The last quarter of 2024 will feature a major update including the "First and Last King" event, likely involving a boss fight against Albert.

Gameplay Highlights & New Features

Green Set Item Event:
- A new event focused on green set items will increase the chance of extra set item drops during dungeon runs.
- Clarification: It does not guarantee a drop every 5 dungeons; it only increases the odds when the dungeon can drop augments.
- Current issues with green set farming include low quality of drops despite high quantity.
- Upcoming event (from Chinese patch notes) may allow temporary upgrading of item attributes and substats (up to triple main attributes and triple substats), but not sockets or colors.
- Changes are likely time-limited after an item drops, possibly requiring quick decisions.
New Dungeon & Open World Area:
- Rumored addition of a new dungeon tied to the new Sharable Wilds expansion.
- New bosses, including a potential "Bale" boss, may be introduced.
- Concept art hints at thematic designs fitting the Sharable Wilds.
Class Balance Changes:
- Minor tweaks expected, especially targeting overpowered classes like Demon Hunter.
- Blizzard’s approach is to adjust classes slightly rather than heavy nerfs.
Gem & Legendary Crest System:
- New 5-star, 2-star, and 1-star gems will be introduced with the major update.
- Future gems will have four attributes (e.g., crit damage, skill range, immunity effects).
- Players are advised to save legendary crests for these future upgrades.
- The current gem surge event is seen as a way for Blizzard to "milk" remaining legendary crests from players.
- There is a call for a better way to farm gem power, as it currently takes too long and limits upgrading.
Phantom Cosmetic:
- A new barbarian-themed phantom cosmetic is teased, likely expensive.

Suggested Improvements & Player Wishes

Artifact Fragments & Progression:
- Hope for better use of leftover artifact fragments (e.g., Inferno 7 items).
- Desire for a new, exciting progression system beyond current rune farming, which has plateaued for many players.
Set Item System:
- Potential for future events to become permanent features.
- Proposed feature to allow changing set item families (similar to answers system) to reduce grinding and optimize gear.
PvP Matchmaking:
- Current matchmaking is poor, especially due to overpowered 1-star gems used by whales.
- Improvements needed for fairer PvP experiences.
Gear & Class Switching:
- Request for a system where farming gear on one class unlocks or shares gear for other classes to reduce repetitive farming.
- Desire for easier gear management when switching between classes.
