[Updated] Diablo 4 'Level 70' & beyond lacking content, boring or empty? Here's the potential reason

New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on June 27, 2023) follows:

Blizzard Team 3 recently released Hotfix 13 For Update v1.0.2 which brings bug fixes to some known issues and certain changes to the Barbarian class.

For instance, the patch addresses the issue where monsters would infinitely spawn in cellar events.

In addition to this, the recent update also reverts a performance change that inadvertently reduced the damage for ‘Hammer of the Ancients’. However, despite the update, some are unhappy.

Diablo 4 has different World Tiers (WTs) that influence the game’s complexity. The higher the WT, the more difficult the game becomes.

In the alpha version of the game, there used to be a World Tier 5 that got unlocked after one reached level 70. However, this tier was removed in the final version of the game.

Notably, the highest World Tier that is currently available is WT4. Although some players (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) feel that the game is ‘over’ after reaching level 70 since there is no challenging content to play or things to do.

And without a doubt, it starts to feel repetitive and boring from then on. Additionally, the absence of new equipment also makes one less motivated to continue playing.

One of those affected says that after reaching level 70 and completing the campaign, they can’t find any upgrades, and the Nightmare dungeons are becoming too challenging.

Another believes that the end game would be a lot more enjoyable if a random dungeon party finder was available.

There is no serotonin drip in this game. Uniques are mostly useless. After level 70 almost all gear is the same (slight optimization changes – oh man, so fun). Leveling is boring and tedious. Most fun content only is available every 1 hr 15 min.

Endgame would be a lot more fun with party finder. Why not have random dungeon party finder with people of same level? It is an online game which feels more lonely than an actual singleplayer game.

Some Redditors are of the view that WT5’s removal from the game may have been done to artificially create a sense of progression and anticipation for future seasons or updates.

By leaving the endgame content feeling somewhat barebones, the developers can generate excitement and interest in upcoming releases.

This strategy will help them prolong the lifespan of the game and maintain player engagement over an extended period.

Rest assured, we will keep an eye on the issue where Level 70 and beyond lack content in Diablo 4, and update this story as and when we come across anything noteworthy.

06:36 pm (IST): ‘Uber Uniques’ drops have been disabled by Blizzard, citing the need to investigate and rectify the drop rates.

The reaction to this has been generally negative as obtaining ‘Uber Unique’ items was one of the few incentives that kept players engaged.
