As Diablo 4 is increasingly abandoned by players, Blizzard reveals the entire patch notes for version 2.7.6. This version will also be the starting point for season 29.
Diablo 4 is clearly not the long-term success that Blizzard expected. While this fourth part is still under fire from fans of the license, Diablo 3 intends to return to the forefront. The game reveals the details of its update 2.7.6 which will also mark the launch of season 29 with the theme: Discordant Visions. A season which is therefore accompanied by a few words from the developers looking back on the future of the game after already more than 10 years of life.
Diablo 3 and its future
It has now been 11 years since Diablo 3 was available and it has already had no less than 28 seasons with new themes each time. Rest assured, Diablo 3 does not seem ready to close its doors and the developers confirm that there will be new seasons. However, season 29 will be the last to have a new theme. Season 30 will mark the definitive return of the Rites of Sanctuary theme which will be playable in all modes. After season 30, season changes will take place every 3 months with the return of already known themes. Each season will be accompanied by new balances and numerous fixes. Season 29 has been available since September 15 at 5 p.m. (Paris time) and version 2.7.6 was deployed shortly before.

Diablo 3 version 2.7.6 patch notes
A brand new single player mode
With this new update, Diablo 3 offers a brand new mode called Solo Obtain. The latter completely blocks your ability to join a group as well as group experience bonuses. This is a whole new challenge for demon slayers wanting to challenge themselves with a new method. An extreme version of the mode exists to push the challenge even further. To reward the best players, a ranking specific to Solo Obtain mode which is similar to the ranking visibly in other worlds will be offered.
Season 29
This update also marks the arrival of 29e season on the theme of Discordant Visions. By killing demons, it will be possible to discover a diabolical fissure. It will allow you to enter the hidden dimensions of discordant Visions. These instances will then be filled with rewards and it is possible that another evil rift will open in one of the dimensions. In these dimensions, you will be able to encounter monsters with two new affixes. The first, Numbness, is an aura that reduces movement speed by 65% and cooldowns by 50% for nearby players. The second, necrotic, reduces healing by 65% and when monsters deal damage over time equivalent to 180% of your maximum health over 30 seconds. To dissipate this damage over time, the player must heal their HP to 95% or more.
Diablo 3 changes
This update is therefore very rich in changes and Blizzard has detailed everything on its site. Among the important changes, we will especially note the overhaul of the paragon progressions. It is now possible to put a maximum of 800 paragon points which makes 200 points in each category (Characteristics, Attack, Defense and Others). It should also be noted that each attribute can now be increased by 200 points instead of 50. Obviously, this revision of the paragon is accompanied, like every update, by changes requested by the community, class balancing and bug fixes. .
