Blizzard rolled out patch 1.3.0a for Diablo 4 on Friday, making it the first update to arrive following the launch of Season of the Construct, the game’s third season. While the patch does address several bugs – including the one that prevented players from progressing through the seasonal quest, it actually mostly makes changes to many of the new features in the new season.
Considering Season 3 had only been live for just three days at that point, you’d have to wonder why those tweaks weren’t in the launch version of 1.3.0 to begin with.
1.3.0a address several of the pain points Diablo 4 players quickly identified upon the launch of Season of the Construct. For starters, the new Seneschal Companion just didn’t feel very powerful. While Blizzard hasn’t adjusted the companion’s power directly, it made it a bit easier to level up by creating more sources for Governing and Tuning Stones – which is what ultimately dictates the power of its attacks.
