Diablo 4 has temporarily disabled one of its hardest challenges to make adjustments. With the end of Diablo 4's early access, the game is available to all players.
In Diablo 4, players dive into a story that takes place 50 years after the events of the Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls expansion. In this new chapter of the war between angels and demons, Diablo 4 players encounter an epic campaign with the return of Lilith and new horrors to face. Beyond the campaign, there's a lot to do in Diablo 4 that will guarantee players significant hours of gameplay. One way to spice up the gameplay is to try the brutal hardcore mode, where one mistake can cost the Diablo 4 player dearly. And there's also the equipment grind, one of Diablo players' favorite activities.
However, community manager PezRadar announced on the official Blizzard forum that Diablo 4 disabled the level 100 pinnacle challenge temporarily. A few months before launch the developers revealed that Diablo 4 isn't meant to be played forever and that the game would also have a "pinnacle boss." This pinnacle challenge is something for players to test everything they know about Diablo 4, from builds to strategies, because after all, this boss serves as the final challenge for the entire game. PezRadar has not revealed when the level 100 pinnacle challenge will be back in Diablo 4.
Players in the race to reach level 100 in Diablo 4 are hoping the issue will be fixed soon. A few days before launch Blizzard announced a contest where the first 1,000 Diablo 4 players to reach level 100 in hardcore mode will have their names added to a Lilith statue at Blizzard's headquarters. While several players have already reached the level cap valid for the contest, other Diablo 4 players were less lucky. The "hardcore race" continues, and it will certainly get even more intense with Diablo 4's official release.
Diablo 4's arrival has not been without some setbacks like bugs and login issues. Blizzard has been acting as quickly as possible, making the necessary adjustments. The devs are looking to ensure the smoothest possible launch for the community, and what we have seen are Diablo 4 players excited despite the initial problems. That is a potential positive start for Blizzard's new ARPG, which points to a promising future for Diablo 4.
Diablo 4 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
