Abattoir of Zir Endgame Dungeon
As confirmed during the November 30 Campfire Chat, one of the newest additions to the game once Patch 1.2.3 goes live will be the Abattoir of Zir - a new endgame activity that allows you to experience a difficulty curve beyond Tier 100 Nightmare Dungeons.
Make sure to complete the Season 2 Journey and optimize your Endgame Builds ahead of time since the Abattoir of Zir will feature 25 increasing tiers of difficulty for you to conquer.
Abattoir of Zir Event Explained
Occultist Now Shows Possible Affix Rolls
One of the most welcome changes to Diablo 4's game systems arrives with Patch 1.2.3 which now allows players to view all possible Affix rolls before enchanting an item at the Occultist. Despite already being a feature in Diablo 3, it was notably absent (as many fans have pointed out) in Diablo 4 till now.
Increased Glyph XP from Nightmare Dungeons
Activision Blizzard has stated that after reviewing gameplay data and player feedback, they found that many players had stopped taking on Nightmare Dungeons after reaching Tier 50. They have since tweaked the Glyph XP gains at higher tiers and will monitor how this change affects players.
