Coming to you from somewhere in sanctuary, this
is episode 456
of Shattered Soul stone, Your Dia community podcast.
This episode is called whole lot of hatred.
This is posted on 06/29/2024,
and this is Jen. So I'm gonna be
gonna go through some of the stuff I've
been gathering
in the
(00:21):
month of June because I had a lot
of things going on honestly. And so I
didn't get a lot of shows in. But
this 1 this 1 has stuff and some
of some of it, you may have noticed
before,
some of you may have read some of
these articles, but I just figured I'd go
ahead and keep going with this show because
I didn't do it for, like, almost a
month. So here we go. I've got an
(00:42):
article here from Ko talk called dia immortal
in wired blizzard to add a new kind
of class to dia 4, which sounds weird
to begin with, but I think It's interesting
that,
let's see. Zack Z
who wrote this on June twelfth of this
here. Kind of is mixing the 2
(01:03):
ideas together between Dia Mo and dia 4,
and I think that's kinda cool. So I'll
read you a little bit of this. It
does have some really neat pictures in here,
like, a couple of them and
the
official release of the vessel of hatred trailer
thing. So I'll just read you some of
this, and then we'll just keep going. So
he wrote. Dia 4 is first big d
see expansion vessel of hatred arrives on all
(01:27):
platforms
later this year. The upcoming Dlc is adding
not only a new region to explore and
loot, but also a new class, the spirit
born, never before seen in the franchise. And
according to Blizzard, the decision to add a
new class came after Dia mo did so
successfully.
Announced a back in November of 20 23.
(01:48):
Vessel of hatred is the first paid expansion
for Dia 4, which itself launched in June
20 23.
It arrives later this year after months and
months of most slate well received updates and
fixes to the core game, including a massive
loot overhaul in April. So the game is
in a good place, and it seems like
the perfect time to add a fresh realm
(02:09):
to explore and a new class to play.
But we might have gotten a more traditional
pre sting dia class in this expansion if
a immortal, The mobile spin off hadn't tried
and succeeded at adding a new at adding
new archetypes to Blizzard loot focused Arp rpg.
In an interview with games radar plus, Dia
franchise boss Rob Ferguson,
(02:31):
explained that launching the blood knight in immortal
in 20 23
helped to give them, give him and the
team the confidence to create Dia spirit board,
quote, I think I was more nervous when
we did the blood night for immortal because
that was the first new class in a
decade.
Said Ferguson,
quote. And so for me, it was like,
oh, wow, we're about to do a new
(02:52):
class in a decade, you know? And then
when I saw how the blood night went
over, I like, oh, okay. People are open
to new ideas and new ways of doing
this, and then we released the Tempe, and
the Tempe was hugely successful too. And there's
a little more here, and I'll let you
read the rest of it for yourself. I
just think it's cool that the
combination of the less as you could play
(03:12):
in Dia mortal and Dia 4 are kind
of mesh a little bit, you know? And
I... I think that's neat because of everybody's
gonna play all of the Dia games all
of the time, so I figured I'd let
people know about it if they maybe don't
play Dia,
but in any case, I got a lot
to talk about
Speaking of Dia immortal. There was patch notes
on June 20 fifth, which is pretty recent,
(03:33):
and it's titled Dia, immortal bug, fixes and
patch notes for all platforms.
So here's a little bit from that. And
it's listed as blizzard entertainment. So we don't
have, like, 1 author on this 1. It's
just This is what they do.
Okay. The Dia Mortal team has been diligently
monitoring your feedback and working to introduce bug
fixes and patches to further prove your playing
(03:56):
playing experience. As we implement these types of
changes for the ios,
Android and Pc versions of immortal, we will
update this list. Bug fixes are typically added
at higher frequency addressing smaller related issues, they
don't require a large download to be applied
to the game. Patches are larger client side
to updates that require a download for players
(04:16):
to obtain new patches will require players to
update before they can continue playing. So from
06/25/2024,
here are some bug fixes with the gameplay.
Fix an issue with Demonic remains not being
salvage.
Fixed an issue with survivors bane achievements being
earned as expected, while the boss rush modi
was applied. Fixed crashing issues with,
(04:39):
verge and Eb,
fixed an issue where an unintended intentional...
Additional path was available in purge the depth.
Then there's the Ui stuff, fix an issue
where the server merge overview couldn't be viewed,
fix an issue where the return to sanctuary
event Ui didn't display properly, fixed an issue
with red to dot
notifications after using terror essence, fixed an issue
(05:02):
with survivors main event duration. So that's the
newest stuff coming from Dia Mo from June
20 fifth, which is just a few days
ago.
We've also got,
from Dia 4 under blizzard Entertainment. Again, there
is no specific writer on this. But it's
got some cool pictures and things. So this
is titled prepare to embody the spirit born,
(05:23):
pre purchase vessel of hatred. This was posted
on June ninth of this year. Vessel of
Hatred, the first expansion for Dia 4 is
now available for pre purchase through Battle,
playstation and Xbox game stores and steam, and
will release on October 8 deep in the
jungles of non hot 2, which I'm hoping
(05:44):
Pronouncing right. A conflicted noel is tormented by
the malicious wills of her traveling companion
S. Can you navigate the terror that lay
in wait to save her soul or will
it already be too late? Harness the powers
of an all new class to survive the
deadly wild and fight back the terrible power
from within.

Brent Gibson, and there is a video that
is on Youtube that has been embedded in
this particular article. It goes on to say,
for more information related to pre purchasing vessel

got some really cool art in here. So
it says pre purchase vessel of hatred today.

sanctuary when you prep, purchase the vessel of
hatred expansion. Not only does pre purchasing grant

you aren't playing that you'll get these things,
but you'd have to play to to get
the Dia Mortal gem, you'd have to actually
be playing Dia mortal, and that's fine.
Just to, you know, let people know, but
the artwork is super cool. It's got, like,
this jungle stuff behind it and which
(09:24):
expansion, I guess,
you choose to purchase,
gives you
a variety of things. If you want everything,
I've just read to everything you can get
if you want, like, the whole deal, but,
I'm not sure... Like, I know it comes
out on October and I'm not sure I
need absolutely everything in here, so I'm gonna,
like, think about it for a while and
(09:44):
figure out, you know, which way I wanna
go with that. I've got a lot of
stuff in this
episode coming from Wow head because they're pretty
good about a lot of stuff, and so
I'll just kinda run you through a little
bit of that.
We've got here posted
2 days ago by si or si. I
don't know how to pronounce this, but this
is someone who rights for. Wow head. And
(10:06):
this article is titled target farming sources for
all new unique in Dia 4 season 5
Pt t. So there is a Pt t.
Which honestly surprised me when I heard there
was Pt coming out for Dia 4 because
I thought they were never going to do
those, but instead they are. They're they're doing
that. So here's some of this particular article.
In season 5 of Dia 4, not only
(10:29):
are we getting tons of new unique we're
getting a new game mode, and that means
new target farming strategies,
exclamation point. Through rigorous testing on multiple classes
we've uncovered where all of the new unique
can be target farmed, and while this information
may change once season 5 goes live. For
now, we've got our answer. As stated by
Blizzard, all of the new unique, quote, could
(10:50):
be earned by slay enemies across sanctuary end,
quote, but certain sources like infer hordes and
the boss letter have increased drop rates, which
allow for target farming any of these new
unique. Patch 1.5
0 also added the ability to obtain all
unique and mythic unique from gambling, whisper,
and hell tied chest There's a small little
(11:12):
piece here from Blizzard itself that says unique
and mythic unique items can now be acquired
through whisper caches a p of curiosity and
tortured gifts in hell hide. So here's some
stuff, and it's
kind of a lot. 1 of the things
here is Igor gore the Gal saint.
Igor their Gal saint can be found in
(11:32):
the halls of the pen located in dry
steps just south of it's capital Ke Bai.
Collect 2 living steel, world tier 3 or
5 living steel, world tier 4 from Pal
chest to fight against Igor or. And it
says in here like, what you would get
depending on what class you're playing.
(11:53):
And what unique you will get as well.
So, like, if you're playing a source where
you're going to get the ax axel conduit
from Igor gore the Gal saint and item
types for gambling health tied whispers you can
get. The sorcerer apparently has pants listed. Beyond
Fangs tu is for the Dr, who will
get gloves,
path of Tri is for the necromancer, of
(12:15):
course, and that you would give you boots.
Shroud of Condo
is for a rogue, and that is chest
armor and unbroken shade is for the barbarian,
which is an amulet. Then there's infer hoard
And there's quite a lot of them actually.
So after finishing the infer hoard quest line,
which starts with a... Looks like a little
cross inside a diamond,
(12:36):
called the eyes of the enemy quest in
X z,
parenthesis. H.
Players can use an infer compass to face
the infer hordes in the new game mode
of the same name internal and infer compass
can be found in hell tied nightmare dungeons
and within infer hordes itself. Players have an
increased chance to obtain the new unique listed
(12:56):
below by spending burning ether to open equipment
chest after defeating all of the waves and
the fell council bosses in the infer hoard.
So this is for season 5, and there's
all this stuff in here. There's crown,
which is a helm, endurance faith is gloves.
Lo, tal is an amulet, rack,
wake is boots. Shard of fifth
(13:18):
Baratheon is a 1 handed sword. It's light
weaponry, according to this. The basil is staff,
a heavy weaponry. The more motor crux for
the necromancer is Let's see. What is that
exactly? It's a dagger. The third blade for
the barbarian is a 1 handed sword, the
light weaponry, the u rocks
or u umber cro. Is for the rogue,
(13:39):
and it's a dagger, and then their v
aluminium is for the sorcerer, and it is
a heavy staff weapon. So if that's just
things to look forward to if you get
the expansion and speaking of the expansion. Wow
head is also posted.
From 19 days ago, but I think this
is still worthy of you know, being talked
about.
It's about the pets that you can get
with the expansion. So this 1 has titled
(14:01):
Pets now available in Gal 4 with patch
1.4
0.2, get your free dog, and you've got,
like, the pictures here of, like, this little
husky dog and this little, like, tiger looking
cat and, like, a snow leopard kind of
thing. So,
here's some from this. This is written by,
constant. I think I'm pronouncing it hopefully. Right?
(14:22):
With the vessel of hatred expansion announcement from
Xbox games showcase 20 24, Pets have officially
arrived in dia
alongside the release of patch 0.4 0.2. And
then there's some pictures. Players could acquire the
Asu pet by completing the faithful companion quest
line and Kyo shot. This quest line starts
automatically and players requires players to approach a
(14:42):
well behaved dog, which is what they're... I've
seen this. I've walked up to well behaved,
and it's just says well behaved dog over
its head.
Reassuring this new companion for their goodness completes
the quest at which point players venture to
their wardrobe to select their new pet,
which is the
it's a little brown doc, basically.
Much like Dia 3 pets will pick up
(15:04):
currencies and materials for their accompanying adventure in
Dia ford this includes gold, herbs, or gem
fragments
crafting materials, forgotten souls, murmur Ob and deb
be sender.
If you pre purchase this, you get 3
additional pets on purchase, meaning they can be
named by players before the expansions October eighth
(15:25):
eighth release. These pets include A core, the
snow Leopard, Har karate, the canine Natalia, the
Tiger. So If you want pets in Dia
4, you can have them pretty soon. And,
you know, I I don't know I would
guess and this is typically how things go
with companies that make video games is, hey.
We have this stuff for you. Here's all
of the things. Oh, you don't have enough
(15:46):
money for that. Well, here's about something else
you can get, You can still get a
pet, you, that sort of thing and I
think that's pretty cool overall. I don't know
which pet I would pick if I... Or
which expansion, which type of expansion I would
pick. I don't know yet, but I'll figure
it out. Over on Blizzard watch. There is,
of course, from June 26. Oh, that's a
bit older. Maybe I don't need that 1
so much, but let's see. I think I
(16:07):
just
didn't understand what was in this 1. So
we're gonna skip that for now.
Also, from well head, raids are coming to
Dia 4 with a vessel of hatred and
this is posted by there. At about 15
days ago.
I'm not usually a raid type person. I
usually go through the game solo.
Sometimes I've played with friends in the game,
(16:27):
not too often, but anyway, so this is
what the raids are for. And their latest
to blog post, a Blizzard announced a new
Pv
endgame coop op activity that is all in
quotation marks. Coming to Dia 4 with the
vessel of hatred, which will be released on
October 8
As expected Blizzard announcement that raids will be
a thing and Dia 4 remains quite vague
(16:50):
about 4 months before the expansions launch.
There's a little thing here from Blizzard,
new Pv and game and coop op activity,
lurking within the shadows lies your next great
challenge filled with powerful
tribulation and promising rewards. First of its kind
to Dia this dungeon.
Will require eager warriors to team up and
(17:11):
take down various peril together. More details on
this game will be revealed soon. That's all
we have in here from them. That's it.
There's a very interesting ominous looking
fortress that I think this thing takes place
in
The image itself doesn't provide much information about
rating in Dia 4. However, just looking at
this concept art alone creates the impression of
(17:33):
a vast raid dungeon.
Instead of a simple 1
boss arenas like world bosses as we know
currently live in. Blizzard blizzard also mentions that
the activity will be the first of its
kind to Dia in quotes, raising hopes that
more complex end game gameplay could be involved.
And there's a little bit more from this
as you as you go through. But if
(17:53):
you are into, like, doing the rating thing.
There's a lot that's not revealed yet, so
there should be things that
will be interesting. I I would think.
Also from 19 days ago from There, from
Wow head, Dia 4 vessel of hatred expansion
blog post released.
Blizzard released a massive blog post about the
dia 4 upcoming vessel of hatred expansion. So
(18:15):
here's a piece of it. Vessel of hay
are the first expansion for Dia 4 is
now available for pre purchase through battle dot
net,
playstation and xbox games, stores and steam. It
will release on October 8 deep in the
jungles of non Hot, a conflict conflicted in
Is tormented by malicious wills of her traveling
companion Map.
Kinda goes on from there, talks about pre
(18:35):
purchasing the vessel of hatred ultimate edition and
immediately received the the 3 little cute pets,
you know?
Plus the work at mount bundle, so if
you are tired of riding a horse, So
I guess you can have a work at.
Yes.
Wings of the faith cosmetic, all this other
stuff that I mentioned from the other thing.
There is a video embedded in here,
(18:56):
lots pictures, this sort of thing, and then
there's the
expansion bundle,
for those who have not yet battled against
the prop sized return of Lilith, start demon
slang today and prepare for the next chapter
of Dia 4 to unleash, prep purchase the
dia 4 expansion bundle and received the following
items You get the dia base game playable
(19:17):
today. Dia vessel of hatred expansion, which has
some asterisk after it. That will be available
upon vessel of hatred. On 10/08/2024.
Mother's lament meant legendary J for Dia Mo,
pre purchase bonus, so that's pretty cool. I
think that's gonna be...
If you haven't played the game. If you
haven't played the d apple game, maybe ever.
(19:37):
This one's probably a good start, I wouldn't
recommend going back to, like, the very first
iteration if you can even still find that
thing. I've been playing them since like the
nineties. So
some people probably are very new to Dia
series and, might not know what they're getting
into with Dia 4. So it's kind of
interesting that They are saying, well, look, you
(19:58):
get these cute pets, you know.
There's also... Let's see what this is. This
is from 7 days ago from Wow head
from
Garmin off
about infer hordes, new game mode in Dia
4 season 5, and some screenshots here of,
part of the game. I'm assuming was in
(20:18):
a Pt. I don't really know for sure,
but this is what was written here. During
the latest Dia 4 camp
camp fire chat, Blizzard showed off an exciting
new piece of game content coming to Dia
4 in season 5. Players will finally be
returning to Hell in the new game content.
Infer hordes,
exclamation point. Infer hordes are similar to nightmare
(20:40):
dungeons, but instead of delving dungeons, players are
entering hell itself fend off wave after wave
of increasingly difficult hell spawn.
Players will become eligible to enter the infer
hordes by completing a quest chain in Za
at upon reaching world tier 3.
Unlocking access to the infer horde, compass and
the abyss scrolls required to upgrade them. The
(21:02):
compass behaves much like a nightmare dungeon key
opening a portal to hell upon use. There
are many screenshots of this within this particular
article. Each infer horde has a set number
of high monster density waves lasting 90 seconds
each And after each 1, players will be
given the opportunity to choose from 1 of
3 infer offers. The infer offer will grant
(21:22):
players a boo, bane or bolts that will
impact the rest of the run. This mechanic
should help keep every run unique while ensuring
that the player has a large part to
play into weather
or not their run is successful. Players who
make it through every wave will then be
able to face the boss. 1 of the
resurrected council members fallen priests sub Z room.
(21:43):
That goes back far
in the Lore of the game. Veterans of
the franchise will recognize the council members from
Dia 2, though they have new titles, spells
and abilities for their Dia 4 debut in
season 5. And there are 5 of these
little guys and they're all each a different
color and 1 of them seems to look
bigger than the other 1. And it goes
on from here. If wanna learn more about
that. It's it's right there.
(22:04):
More from a lot of this is relying
on Wild head for, and I probably should
go pay them some money for this. But
In any case, we also have written by
J t. Dia 4 season 6.
Season 6 we're talking about now. We'll launch
with expansion vessel of Hatred interview roundup. And
so here's what we have.
We've rounded up several recent interviews with Blizzard
(22:26):
from various outlets and summarize their key points,
including the reveal that Dia 4, season 5
will be shorter than normal and season 6
will launch with vessel of hatred. With the
recent to reveal of the October 8 launch
date for vessel of Hatred, Blizzard has been
conducting a flurry of interviews with various outlets
with so many interviews happen at once though
things get overwhelming, so we're summarizing Dia 4
(22:49):
interviews that were recently published for those who
might not have the time to watch or
read them in full. Take a look at
these interviews summarized below. I'm gonna read you
a couple of them just whatever order they
put them in. That's what I'm giving you.
Ig g live with Tiffany Watts. The cinematic
release date trailer that was showcased is the
toned down version, but there will not be
an uncut version released.
(23:09):
With the vessel of hatred expansion, there will
be new dungeons strongholds and new monsters.
Mercenaries will level up with you and have
their own skill trees. There will be even
more gruesome cut in vessel of hatred for
players to enjoy. And infer feedback is very
valuable to Blizzard Dia as a base game
also got in internal feedback from Act activation
(23:29):
and King. With
Microsoft's acquisition, Blizzard asked for internal feedback from
some of Microsoft's other studios as they rely
heavily on internal feedback early at often in
order to adapt and pivot to their final
products.
I'll read you 1 more.
Games radar plus with Rod Ferguson and Brent
Gibson, from Rod Ferguson, quote, we hear very
(23:51):
loudly the sword and board Pal
Crusader fantasy that we are not currently fulfilling.
But we wanted an opportunity to do something
that was based within the region we were
adding. We wanted to do something new that
was creatively interesting and just bring a new
experience.
Windows central with Rod Ferguson and Brent Gibson.
Rod Ferguson, I don't think the Spirit porn
(24:11):
will sat satisfy a sword and board play
style. We definitely heard the feedback. We know
people are excited about Paladins or sword and
board gameplay.
But we also knew that, like again, we
did a lot of nostalgia in the first
5 classes. So we felt like at least
for the first 1, we have to be
able to look beyond nostalgia. And start breaking
new ground on classes and trying new things.
(24:33):
Having the class spirit borne be the medically
relevant was very important to blizzard Rod Ferguson
would like there to be more than 1
place to get paragon Gl experience besides nightmare
Dungeons. Season 5 will be the last season
before the release at the expansion. Season 6
will start at the same time as vessel
of Hatred launches.
Rod Ferguson says, quote, when you launch something
you're always doing it with a set of
(24:54):
assumptions. We had the assumption that Dia was
meant to be more Dia like. And so
1 of the assumptions was that people were
going to be okay with the long grind
for the unique or an uber unique in
particular. A closer look at the new region
of non hot and its new jungle visuals
will be part of the spirit borne gameplay
reveal. On July eighteenth, which we've already passed,
but anyway, there it is with that. We
(25:16):
also have a 7 days ago from constant
It's... I think it's how it's pronounced.
From Wow head, upcoming season 5 Pt t
changes to bosses in Dia 4, and there
is a video or at least a
screenshot of a video
in here. So I'll just read you a
little bit This. The season 5 Pt t
campfire fire chat covered some of the upcoming
(25:36):
changes to summoned bosses.
Including specific quality of life adjustments to the
echo of Var and beast in the ice
encounters.
General changes to bosses in season 5. Bosses
can now be summoned. Multiple times within the
same instance, meaning players will no longer need
to reset the dungeon before summon a boss
again. Summon altar will appear once a boss
(25:57):
is defeated. Summoned bosses will no longer drop
rare items instead dropping additional gold, which is
useful if you've broken all your armor in
my opinion. The beast in the ice encounters
is receiving 2 major changes. First players will
no longer need to craft a gl glacier
F fisher nightmare sigil The beast in the
ice can be summoned with distilled fear inside
the dungeon, meaning there will no longer be
(26:19):
a sigil power cost associated with this boss.
The Gl glacier F fisher, Dungeon layout will
also be significantly smaller, similar to other boss
dungeons.
Existing gl glacier f, nightmare sigil will still
be usable to start the beast in the
ice account or encounter goes on a little
bit from there. I got a couple more
things here. Do dia 4 patch 1.43
(26:40):
hot fix 1, and Da visa massage or.
I don't know which way that goes. A

for the season 4 mid season patch and
Dia 4, including fixes to items such as
(27:02):
Da massage, Tele in ir dust to loop
and of Holy bolts. Here's some stuff about
that.
Bug fixes fixed an issue where the poison
nova from End industrial
massage, vision. I don't know. That was dealing
damage around the player, even though the visual
effect was around enemies, fixed an issue where
the poison nova from End visa was dealing
(27:24):
less damage than intended, fixed an issue where
sal an item that had been master worked
only once would not fund to master working
materials. That's kind of a thing. Fixed an
issue where rapid fire did not always fire
the right amount of projectiles when both sc
kiss and the aspect repeating were equipped Fixed
an issue where Tal Russia's ir loop was
not granting the correct damage bonus at full
(27:46):
stacks is intended and fixed an issue where
eli of holy bolts.
Relating to back end surfer crashes. These have
been re enabled after this hot fix. Last
thing. Treasure goblins will have him proved loot
in Dia 4 season 5, and I am
thrilled to hear this because I love chasing
the Treasure goblins. I don't always catch them
all, but sometimes I do if been play
(28:06):
in my barb again, which is like my
first character in Dia.
And she can she can move enough and
really just go after these things. I don't
get them all, but I mean, I don't
think everyone should just go through the game
and only look for Treasure Goblins. You know
what I mean? They'll appear with they here.
So this is written by Arc
from Wow head, and I'll read you a
little bit of this. In the upcoming season
(28:26):
5 of Dia 4 slated to release on
August sixth, which coming up. Treasure goblins will
have a much heavier sack of loot than
previously. Fueled by their ins greed, these little
walking treasure chest will be dropping more useful
loot soon. You here's a little piece about
that. Treasure goblins. The loose quality from Treasure
goblins has been improved. They can now drop
1 to 3 legendary items and 2 to
(28:47):
6 rare items.
And higher than the higher the number of
legendary drops, the lower the number of rare
drops. The opposite is also true. Example, if
2 legendary items drop than 4 errors will
drop in addition. Now drop 1 to 2
eli, And are guaranteed to additionally drop common
ore, herbs, leather, and gem fragments.
Increase the amount of gold that drops examples.
(29:07):
Level 1 in world tier 01:40 k gold.
Level 100 in world tier 4. A hundred
and 50 gold. In world tiers 3 and
4, treasure goblins also dropped forgotten souls. Additionally,
they will now have a 10 slash 20
slash 30 percent chance to drop 1 to
2 scattered prism in world tiers 1 and
2 and world tier 3, and world 2
(29:28):
4, respectively. So that's kinda cool. I love
chasing treasure go. I don't always get them
on. Don't think anyone... You know, I don't
think anyone specifically gets into the game and
says I will murder all the treasure goblins
because you can't really. They kind of have
an erratic path of running around and throwing
things that you hoping you'll go away. And
that's gonna be where I'm gonna end this
particular episode. You've been listening to episode 04:56

Coming to you from somewhere in sanctuary, this
is episode 456
of Shattered Soul stone, Your Dia community podcast.
This episode is called whole lot of hatred.
This is posted on 06/29/2024,
and this is Jen. So I'm gonna be
gonna go through some of the stuff I've
been gathering
in the
(00:21):
month of June because I had a lot
of things going on honestly. And so I
didn't get a lot of shows in. But
this 1 this 1 has stuff and some
of some of it, you may have noticed
before,
some of you may have read some of
these articles, but I just figured I'd go
ahead and keep going with this show because
I didn't do it for, like, almost a
month. So here we go. I've got an
(00:42):
article here from Ko talk called dia immortal
in wired blizzard to add a new kind
of class to dia 4, which sounds weird
to begin with, but I think It's interesting
that,
let's see. Zack Z
who wrote this on June twelfth of this
here. Kind of is mixing the 2
(01:03):
ideas together between Dia Mo and dia 4,
and I think that's kinda cool. So I'll
read you a little bit of this. It
does have some really neat pictures in here,
like, a couple of them and
the
official release of the vessel of hatred trailer
thing. So I'll just read you some of
this, and then we'll just keep going. So
he wrote. Dia 4 is first big d
see expansion vessel of hatred arrives on all
(01:27):
platforms
later this year. The upcoming Dlc is adding
not only a new region to explore and
loot, but also a new class, the spirit
born, never before seen in the franchise. And
according to Blizzard, the decision to add a
new class came after Dia mo did so
successfully.
Announced a back in November of 20 23.
(01:48):
Vessel of hatred is the first paid expansion
for Dia 4, which itself launched in June
20 23.
It arrives later this year after months and
months of most slate well received updates and
fixes to the core game, including a massive
loot overhaul in April. So the game is
in a good place, and it seems like
the perfect time to add a fresh realm
(02:09):
to explore and a new class to play.
But we might have gotten a more traditional
pre sting dia class in this expansion if
a immortal, The mobile spin off hadn't tried
and succeeded at adding a new at adding
new archetypes to Blizzard loot focused Arp rpg.
In an interview with games radar plus, Dia
franchise boss Rob Ferguson,
(02:31):
explained that launching the blood knight in immortal
in 20 23
helped to give them, give him and the
team the confidence to create Dia spirit board,
quote, I think I was more nervous when
we did the blood night for immortal because
that was the first new class in a
decade.
Said Ferguson,
quote. And so for me, it was like,
oh, wow, we're about to do a new
(02:52):
class in a decade, you know? And then
when I saw how the blood night went
over, I like, oh, okay. People are open
to new ideas and new ways of doing
this, and then we released the Tempe, and
the Tempe was hugely successful too. And there's
a little more here, and I'll let you
read the rest of it for yourself. I
just think it's cool that the
combination of the less as you could play
(03:12):
in Dia mortal and Dia 4 are kind
of mesh a little bit, you know? And
I... I think that's neat because of everybody's
gonna play all of the Dia games all
of the time, so I figured I'd let
people know about it if they maybe don't
play Dia,
but in any case, I got a lot
to talk about
Speaking of Dia immortal. There was patch notes
on June 20 fifth, which is pretty recent,
(03:33):
and it's titled Dia, immortal bug, fixes and
patch notes for all platforms.
So here's a little bit from that. And
it's listed as blizzard entertainment. So we don't
have, like, 1 author on this 1. It's
just This is what they do.
Okay. The Dia Mortal team has been diligently
monitoring your feedback and working to introduce bug
fixes and patches to further prove your playing
(03:56):
playing experience. As we implement these types of
changes for the ios,
Android and Pc versions of immortal, we will
update this list. Bug fixes are typically added
at higher frequency addressing smaller related issues, they
don't require a large download to be applied
to the game. Patches are larger client side
to updates that require a download for players
(04:16):
to obtain new patches will require players to
update before they can continue playing. So from
06/25/2024,
here are some bug fixes with the gameplay.
Fix an issue with Demonic remains not being
salvage.
Fixed an issue with survivors bane achievements being
earned as expected, while the boss rush modi
was applied. Fixed crashing issues with,
(04:39):
verge and Eb,
fixed an issue where an unintended intentional...
Additional path was available in purge the depth.
Then there's the Ui stuff, fix an issue
where the server merge overview couldn't be viewed,
fix an issue where the return to sanctuary
event Ui didn't display properly, fixed an issue
with red to dot
notifications after using terror essence, fixed an issue
(05:02):
with survivors main event duration. So that's the
newest stuff coming from Dia Mo from June
20 fifth, which is just a few days
ago.
We've also got,
from Dia 4 under blizzard Entertainment. Again, there
is no specific writer on this. But it's
got some cool pictures and things. So this
is titled prepare to embody the spirit born,
(05:23):
pre purchase vessel of hatred. This was posted
on June ninth of this year. Vessel of
Hatred, the first expansion for Dia 4 is
now available for pre purchase through Battle,
playstation and Xbox game stores and steam, and
will release on October 8 deep in the
jungles of non hot 2, which I'm hoping
(05:44):
Pronouncing right. A conflicted noel is tormented by
the malicious wills of her traveling companion
S. Can you navigate the terror that lay
in wait to save her soul or will
it already be too late? Harness the powers
of an all new class to survive the
deadly wild and fight back the terrible power
from within.

Brent Gibson, and there is a video that
is on Youtube that has been embedded in
this particular article. It goes on to say,
for more information related to pre purchasing vessel
of Hatred and Beyond feast on the details
included below. So here's pieces from that. It's
(06:50):
got some really cool art in here. So
it says pre purchase vessel of hatred today.
The jungles of non hot to bleed across
sanctuary when you prep, purchase the vessel of
hatred expansion. Not only does pre purchasing grant

you aren't playing that you'll get these things,
but you'd have to play to to get
the Dia Mortal gem, you'd have to actually
be playing Dia mortal, and that's fine.
Just to, you know, let people know, but
the artwork is super cool. It's got, like,
this jungle stuff behind it and which
(09:24):
expansion, I guess,
you choose to purchase,
gives you
a variety of things. If you want everything,
I've just read to everything you can get
if you want, like, the whole deal, but,
I'm not sure... Like, I know it comes
out on October and I'm not sure I
need absolutely everything in here, so I'm gonna,
like, think about it for a while and
(09:44):
figure out, you know, which way I wanna
go with that. I've got a lot of
stuff in this
episode coming from Wow head because they're pretty
good about a lot of stuff, and so
I'll just kinda run you through a little
bit of that.
We've got here posted
2 days ago by si or si. I
don't know how to pronounce this, but this
is someone who rights for. Wow head. And
(10:06):
this article is titled target farming sources for
all new unique in Dia 4 season 5
Pt t. So there is a Pt t.
Which honestly surprised me when I heard there
was Pt coming out for Dia 4 because
I thought they were never going to do
those, but instead they are. They're they're doing
that. So here's some of this particular article.
In season 5 of Dia 4, not only
(10:29):
are we getting tons of new unique we're
getting a new game mode, and that means
new target farming strategies,
exclamation point. Through rigorous testing on multiple classes
we've uncovered where all of the new unique
can be target farmed, and while this information
may change once season 5 goes live. For
now, we've got our answer. As stated by
Blizzard, all of the new unique, quote, could
(10:50):
be earned by slay enemies across sanctuary end,
quote, but certain sources like infer hordes and
the boss letter have increased drop rates, which
allow for target farming any of these new
unique. Patch 1.5
0 also added the ability to obtain all
unique and mythic unique from gambling, whisper,
and hell tied chest There's a small little
(11:12):
piece here from Blizzard itself that says unique
and mythic unique items can now be acquired
through whisper caches a p of curiosity and
tortured gifts in hell hide. So here's some
stuff, and it's
kind of a lot. 1 of the things
here is Igor gore the Gal saint.
Igor their Gal saint can be found in
(11:32):
the halls of the pen located in dry
steps just south of it's capital Ke Bai.
Collect 2 living steel, world tier 3 or
5 living steel, world tier 4 from Pal
chest to fight against Igor or. And it
says in here like, what you would get
depending on what class you're playing.
(11:53):
And what unique you will get as well.
So, like, if you're playing a source where
you're going to get the ax axel conduit
from Igor gore the Gal saint and item
types for gambling health tied whispers you can
get. The sorcerer apparently has pants listed. Beyond
Fangs tu is for the Dr, who will
get gloves,
path of Tri is for the necromancer, of
(12:15):
course, and that you would give you boots.
Shroud of Condo
is for a rogue, and that is chest
armor and unbroken shade is for the barbarian,
which is an amulet. Then there's infer hoard
And there's quite a lot of them actually.
So after finishing the infer hoard quest line,
which starts with a... Looks like a little
cross inside a diamond,
(12:36):
called the eyes of the enemy quest in
X z,
parenthesis. H.
Players can use an infer compass to face
the infer hordes in the new game mode
of the same name internal and infer compass
can be found in hell tied nightmare dungeons
and within infer hordes itself. Players have an
increased chance to obtain the new unique listed
(12:56):
below by spending burning ether to open equipment
chest after defeating all of the waves and
the fell council bosses in the infer hoard.
So this is for season 5, and there's
all this stuff in here. There's crown,
which is a helm, endurance faith is gloves.
Lo, tal is an amulet, rack,
wake is boots. Shard of fifth
(13:18):
Baratheon is a 1 handed sword. It's light
weaponry, according to this. The basil is staff,
a heavy weaponry. The more motor crux for
the necromancer is Let's see. What is that
exactly? It's a dagger. The third blade for
the barbarian is a 1 handed sword, the
light weaponry, the u rocks
or u umber cro. Is for the rogue,
(13:39):
and it's a dagger, and then their v
aluminium is for the sorcerer, and it is
a heavy staff weapon. So if that's just
things to look forward to if you get
the expansion and speaking of the expansion. Wow
head is also posted.
From 19 days ago, but I think this
is still worthy of you know, being talked
about.
It's about the pets that you can get
with the expansion. So this 1 has titled
(14:01):
Pets now available in Gal 4 with patch
1.4
0.2, get your free dog, and you've got,
like, the pictures here of, like, this little
husky dog and this little, like, tiger looking
cat and, like, a snow leopard kind of
thing. So,
here's some from this. This is written by,
constant. I think I'm pronouncing it hopefully. Right?
(14:22):
With the vessel of hatred expansion announcement from
Xbox games showcase 20 24, Pets have officially
arrived in dia
alongside the release of patch 0.4 0.2. And
then there's some pictures. Players could acquire the
Asu pet by completing the faithful companion quest
line and Kyo shot. This quest line starts
automatically and players requires players to approach a
(14:42):
well behaved dog, which is what they're... I've
seen this. I've walked up to well behaved,
and it's just says well behaved dog over
its head.
Reassuring this new companion for their goodness completes
the quest at which point players venture to
their wardrobe to select their new pet,
which is the
it's a little brown doc, basically.
Much like Dia 3 pets will pick up
(15:04):
currencies and materials for their accompanying adventure in
Dia ford this includes gold, herbs, or gem
fragments
crafting materials, forgotten souls, murmur Ob and deb
be sender.
If you pre purchase this, you get 3
additional pets on purchase, meaning they can be
named by players before the expansions October eighth
(15:25):
eighth release. These pets include A core, the
snow Leopard, Har karate, the canine Natalia, the
Tiger. So If you want pets in Dia
4, you can have them pretty soon. And,
you know, I I don't know I would
guess and this is typically how things go
with companies that make video games is, hey.
We have this stuff for you. Here's all
of the things. Oh, you don't have enough
(15:46):
money for that. Well, here's about something else
you can get, You can still get a
pet, you, that sort of thing and I
think that's pretty cool overall. I don't know
which pet I would pick if I... Or
which expansion, which type of expansion I would
pick. I don't know yet, but I'll figure
it out. Over on Blizzard watch. There is,
of course, from June 26. Oh, that's a
bit older. Maybe I don't need that 1
so much, but let's see. I think I
(16:07):
just
didn't understand what was in this 1. So
we're gonna skip that for now.
Also, from well head, raids are coming to
Dia 4 with a vessel of hatred and
this is posted by there. At about 15
days ago.
I'm not usually a raid type person. I
usually go through the game solo.
Sometimes I've played with friends in the game,
(16:27):
not too often, but anyway, so this is
what the raids are for. And their latest
to blog post, a Blizzard announced a new
Pv
endgame coop op activity that is all in
quotation marks. Coming to Dia 4 with the
vessel of hatred, which will be released on
October 8
As expected Blizzard announcement that raids will be
a thing and Dia 4 remains quite vague
(16:50):
about 4 months before the expansions launch.
There's a little thing here from Blizzard,
new Pv and game and coop op activity,
lurking within the shadows lies your next great
challenge filled with powerful
tribulation and promising rewards. First of its kind
to Dia this dungeon.
Will require eager warriors to team up and
(17:11):
take down various peril together. More details on
this game will be revealed soon. That's all
we have in here from them. That's it.
There's a very interesting ominous looking
fortress that I think this thing takes place
in
The image itself doesn't provide much information about
rating in Dia 4. However, just looking at
this concept art alone creates the impression of
(17:33):
a vast raid dungeon.
Instead of a simple 1
boss arenas like world bosses as we know
currently live in. Blizzard blizzard also mentions that
the activity will be the first of its
kind to Dia in quotes, raising hopes that
more complex end game gameplay could be involved.
And there's a little bit more from this
as you as you go through. But if
(17:53):
you are into, like, doing the rating thing.
There's a lot that's not revealed yet, so
there should be things that
will be interesting. I I would think.
Also from 19 days ago from There, from
Wow head, Dia 4 vessel of hatred expansion
blog post released.
Blizzard released a massive blog post about the
dia 4 upcoming vessel of hatred expansion. So
(18:15):
here's a piece of it. Vessel of hay
are the first expansion for Dia 4 is
now available for pre purchase through battle dot
net,
playstation and xbox games, stores and steam. It
will release on October 8 deep in the
jungles of non Hot, a conflict conflicted in
Is tormented by malicious wills of her traveling
companion Map.
Kinda goes on from there, talks about pre
(18:35):
purchasing the vessel of hatred ultimate edition and
immediately received the the 3 little cute pets,
you know?
Plus the work at mount bundle, so if
you are tired of riding a horse, So
I guess you can have a work at.
Yes.
Wings of the faith cosmetic, all this other
stuff that I mentioned from the other thing.
There is a video embedded in here,
(18:56):
lots pictures, this sort of thing, and then
there's the
expansion bundle,
for those who have not yet battled against
the prop sized return of Lilith, start demon
slang today and prepare for the next chapter
of Dia 4 to unleash, prep purchase the
dia 4 expansion bundle and received the following
items You get the dia base game playable
(19:17):
today. Dia vessel of hatred expansion, which has
some asterisk after it. That will be available
upon vessel of hatred. On 10/08/2024.
Mother's lament meant legendary J for Dia Mo,
pre purchase bonus, so that's pretty cool. I
think that's gonna be...
If you haven't played the game. If you
haven't played the d apple game, maybe ever.
(19:37):
This one's probably a good start, I wouldn't
recommend going back to, like, the very first
iteration if you can even still find that
thing. I've been playing them since like the
nineties. So
some people probably are very new to Dia
series and, might not know what they're getting
into with Dia 4. So it's kind of
interesting that They are saying, well, look, you
(19:58):
get these cute pets, you know.
There's also... Let's see what this is. This
is from 7 days ago from Wow head
from
Garmin off
about infer hordes, new game mode in Dia
4 season 5, and some screenshots here of,
part of the game. I'm assuming was in
(20:18):
a Pt. I don't really know for sure,
but this is what was written here. During
the latest Dia 4 camp
camp fire chat, Blizzard showed off an exciting
new piece of game content coming to Dia
4 in season 5. Players will finally be
returning to Hell in the new game content.
Infer hordes,
exclamation point. Infer hordes are similar to nightmare
(20:40):
dungeons, but instead of delving dungeons, players are
entering hell itself fend off wave after wave
of increasingly difficult hell spawn.
Players will become eligible to enter the infer
hordes by completing a quest chain in Za
at upon reaching world tier 3.
Unlocking access to the infer horde, compass and
the abyss scrolls required to upgrade them. The
(21:02):
compass behaves much like a nightmare dungeon key
opening a portal to hell upon use. There
are many screenshots of this within this particular
article. Each infer horde has a set number
of high monster density waves lasting 90 seconds
each And after each 1, players will be
given the opportunity to choose from 1 of
3 infer offers. The infer offer will grant
(21:22):
players a boo, bane or bolts that will
impact the rest of the run. This mechanic
should help keep every run unique while ensuring
that the player has a large part to
play into weather
or not their run is successful. Players who
make it through every wave will then be
able to face the boss. 1 of the
resurrected council members fallen priests sub Z room.
(21:43):
That goes back far
in the Lore of the game. Veterans of
the franchise will recognize the council members from
Dia 2, though they have new titles, spells
and abilities for their Dia 4 debut in
season 5. And there are 5 of these
little guys and they're all each a different
color and 1 of them seems to look
bigger than the other 1. And it goes
on from here. If wanna learn more about
that. It's it's right there.
(22:04):
More from a lot of this is relying
on Wild head for, and I probably should
go pay them some money for this. But
In any case, we also have written by
J t. Dia 4 season 6.
Season 6 we're talking about now. We'll launch
with expansion vessel of Hatred interview roundup. And
so here's what we have.
We've rounded up several recent interviews with Blizzard
(22:26):
from various outlets and summarize their key points,
including the reveal that Dia 4, season 5
will be shorter than normal and season 6
will launch with vessel of hatred. With the
recent to reveal of the October 8 launch
date for vessel of Hatred, Blizzard has been
conducting a flurry of interviews with various outlets
with so many interviews happen at once though
things get overwhelming, so we're summarizing Dia 4
(22:49):
interviews that were recently published for those who
might not have the time to watch or
read them in full. Take a look at
these interviews summarized below. I'm gonna read you
a couple of them just whatever order they
put them in. That's what I'm giving you.
Ig g live with Tiffany Watts. The cinematic
release date trailer that was showcased is the
toned down version, but there will not be
an uncut version released.
(23:09):
With the vessel of hatred expansion, there will
be new dungeons strongholds and new monsters.
Mercenaries will level up with you and have
their own skill trees. There will be even
more gruesome cut in vessel of hatred for
players to enjoy. And infer feedback is very
valuable to Blizzard Dia as a base game
also got in internal feedback from Act activation
(23:29):
and King. With
Microsoft's acquisition, Blizzard asked for internal feedback from
some of Microsoft's other studios as they rely
heavily on internal feedback early at often in
order to adapt and pivot to their final
products.
I'll read you 1 more.
Games radar plus with Rod Ferguson and Brent
Gibson, from Rod Ferguson, quote, we hear very
(23:51):
loudly the sword and board Pal
Crusader fantasy that we are not currently fulfilling.
But we wanted an opportunity to do something
that was based within the region we were
adding. We wanted to do something new that
was creatively interesting and just bring a new
experience.
Windows central with Rod Ferguson and Brent Gibson.
Rod Ferguson, I don't think the Spirit porn
(24:11):
will sat satisfy a sword and board play
style. We definitely heard the feedback. We know
people are excited about Paladins or sword and
board gameplay.
But we also knew that, like again, we
did a lot of nostalgia in the first
5 classes. So we felt like at least
for the first 1, we have to be
able to look beyond nostalgia. And start breaking
new ground on classes and trying new things.
(24:33):
Having the class spirit borne be the medically
relevant was very important to blizzard Rod Ferguson
would like there to be more than 1
place to get paragon Gl experience besides nightmare
Dungeons. Season 5 will be the last season
before the release at the expansion. Season 6
will start at the same time as vessel
of Hatred launches.
Rod Ferguson says, quote, when you launch something
you're always doing it with a set of
(24:54):
assumptions. We had the assumption that Dia was
meant to be more Dia like. And so
1 of the assumptions was that people were
going to be okay with the long grind
for the unique or an uber unique in
particular. A closer look at the new region
of non hot and its new jungle visuals
will be part of the spirit borne gameplay
reveal. On July eighteenth, which we've already passed,
but anyway, there it is with that. We
(25:16):
also have a 7 days ago from constant
It's... I think it's how it's pronounced.
From Wow head, upcoming season 5 Pt t
changes to bosses in Dia 4, and there
is a video or at least a
screenshot of a video
in here. So I'll just read you a
little bit This. The season 5 Pt t
campfire fire chat covered some of the upcoming
(25:36):
changes to summoned bosses.
Including specific quality of life adjustments to the
echo of Var and beast in the ice
encounters.
General changes to bosses in season 5. Bosses
can now be summoned. Multiple times within the
same instance, meaning players will no longer need
to reset the dungeon before summon a boss
again. Summon altar will appear once a boss
(25:57):
is defeated. Summoned bosses will no longer drop
rare items instead dropping additional gold, which is
useful if you've broken all your armor in
my opinion. The beast in the ice encounters
is receiving 2 major changes. First players will
no longer need to craft a gl glacier
F fisher nightmare sigil The beast in the
ice can be summoned with distilled fear inside
the dungeon, meaning there will no longer be
(26:19):
a sigil power cost associated with this boss.
The Gl glacier F fisher, Dungeon layout will
also be significantly smaller, similar to other boss
dungeons.
Existing gl glacier f, nightmare sigil will still
be usable to start the beast in the
ice account or encounter goes on a little
bit from there. I got a couple more
things here. Do dia 4 patch 1.43
(26:40):
hot fix 1, and Da visa massage or.
I don't know which way that goes. A
fixed. Tell rashes ring stacks properly a eli
of holy
bolt re enabled from 8 days ago by
J Art. There's this lovely picture of Lil
staring out at you at the of this
article. Blizzard has released the first hot fix
for the season 4 mid season patch and
Dia 4, including fixes to items such as
(27:02):
Da massage, Tele in ir dust to loop
and of Holy bolts. Here's some stuff about
that.
Bug fixes fixed an issue where the poison
nova from End industrial
massage, vision. I don't know. That was dealing
damage around the player, even though the visual
effect was around enemies, fixed an issue where
the poison nova from End visa was dealing
(27:24):
less damage than intended, fixed an issue where
sal an item that had been master worked
only once would not fund to master working
materials. That's kind of a thing. Fixed an
issue where rapid fire did not always fire
the right amount of projectiles when both sc
kiss and the aspect repeating were equipped Fixed
an issue where Tal Russia's ir loop was
not granting the correct damage bonus at full
(27:46):
stacks is intended and fixed an issue where
eli of holy bolts.
Relating to back end surfer crashes. These have
been re enabled after this hot fix. Last
thing. Treasure goblins will have him proved loot
in Dia 4 season 5, and I am
thrilled to hear this because I love chasing
the Treasure goblins. I don't always catch them
all, but sometimes I do if been play
(28:06):
in my barb again, which is like my
first character in Dia.
And she can she can move enough and
really just go after these things. I don't
get them all, but I mean, I don't
think everyone should just go through the game
and only look for Treasure Goblins. You know
what I mean? They'll appear with they here.
So this is written by Arc
from Wow head, and I'll read you a
little bit of this. In the upcoming season
(28:26):
5 of Dia 4 slated to release on
August sixth, which coming up. Treasure goblins will
have a much heavier sack of loot than
previously. Fueled by their ins greed, these little
walking treasure chest will be dropping more useful
loot soon. You here's a little piece about
that. Treasure goblins. The loose quality from Treasure
goblins has been improved. They can now drop
1 to 3 legendary items and 2 to
(28:47):
6 rare items.
And higher than the higher the number of
legendary drops, the lower the number of rare
drops. The opposite is also true. Example, if
2 legendary items drop than 4 errors will
drop in addition. Now drop 1 to 2
eli, And are guaranteed to additionally drop common
ore, herbs, leather, and gem fragments.
Increase the amount of gold that drops examples.
(29:07):
Level 1 in world tier 01:40 k gold.
Level 100 in world tier 4. A hundred
and 50 gold. In world tiers 3 and
4, treasure goblins also dropped forgotten souls. Additionally,
they will now have a 10 slash 20
slash 30 percent chance to drop 1 to
2 scattered prism in world tiers 1 and
2 and world tier 3, and world 2
(29:28):
4, respectively. So that's kinda cool. I love
chasing treasure go. I don't always get them
on. Don't think anyone... You know, I don't
think anyone specifically gets into the game and
says I will murder all the treasure goblins
because you can't really. They kind of have
an erratic path of running around and throwing
things that you hoping you'll go away. And
that's gonna be where I'm gonna end this
particular episode. You've been listening to episode 04:56
