Diablo 4is supposedly getting an endgame event that’s so challenging, it’s practically unbeatable.
Abattoir of Zir will actually only be available to the hack ‘n’ slashers who have already completed the latest Season Journey challenges - meaning you’ll have plenty of training to prepare you for a hellish final fight. Wudijo also states that monster levels exceed the Nightmare Dungeon maximum (Level 154), and that even meta-favorite builds, such as Ball Lightning Sorcerers and HotA Barbarians, aren’t supposed to beat the final tier due to enemies’ exorbitant health pools.
Some Diabloers on the game’ssubredditseemed to welcome the additional challenge with disbelief. “Someone very good with spreadsheets will finish it, post the build, and we’ll see thousands in the wild,” Redditor Environmental_Park kind-of-jokingly commented.
Another player, Amarules on Reddit, responded to the news with concern about build variety. “This already worries me,” they wrote, “If the most brokenly overpowered builds can’t finish it, then 90% of builds have no chance. This just further pushes everybody into playing the top meta builds if they have any aspiration for success. I can’t think of anything more dull.”
Diablo 4’s future seems somewhat bright regardless. Blizzard developers recently teased that the much-whispered-aboutCow Level might be real after all, cursing the community to continue with its endless search. The game’s first expansion, calledVessel of Hatred, brings back an iconic location from Diablo 2 and a new class. Although, youshouldn’t expect any crossovers with other Xbox-owned charactersfollowing the successfulMicrosoftacquisition ofActivision Blizzard. (No Master Chief skins for now, people.)
Diablo 4’s developers weren’t prepared for the loot goblins to take the Level 100 grind as seriously as they have.
