We’re less than two mere days away from the big launch of Season of the Malignant, the first official season of Diablo 4. The big pre-season patch arrived earlier today, bringing a significant number of changes, loads of bug fixes, new content, and some balance tweaks to your favourite Aspects/classes/builds.
Outside of the seasonal content itself, almost everything the patch introduces can be taken advantage of today. Whether you’ve been spending your Diablo 4 playtime time doing everything on this list to prepare yourself for the Season 1 launch, or you never actually found the time, there’s one small thing you can do right now that has a massive effect on all future characters – including seasonal characters.
In today’s patch, Blizzard made it so Altars of Lilith unlocks and fog of war clearing/map discovery applies to the entire account. If one character has them, all others do, too. But in order for this to take effect, you need to log into your account and pick the character with the most progress.
