What changes now for Diablo fans?
Now let's finally get to what you're probably most interested in. The groundbreaking changes, which is why Season 4 can almost be considered a new game. That's what it's all about Loot system in Diablo 4.

In Season 4, item quality should also be guaranteed. Depending on the world level, players know directly what the opponents will drop – for example, only holy items at world level 3.
So-called Uniques (unique items) However, they can appear in any world level. Ten more unique items will also be added (including the Tyarel's Power armor, which is familiar from Diablo 2).
Diablo changes: That's not all
The loot changes for Season 4 alone are extensive, but the makers of Diablo 4 are still working on other areas of the game. For the affixes there will be a similar concept to the loot (i.e less, but of higher quality). However, simplifications are introduced for gemstones. Here too, Blizzard provides some tricks (reinforcements, but more processing time).
The crafting system in Diablo 4 is the next item to be comprehensively overhauled in Season 4. In the future, players will be able to follow the Code of Power, for example add all legendary aspects and they are saved in the highest level.
What is brand new, however, is the tempering system, through which items can also receive affixes later. To do this, players need instructions that they can find from opponents of different quality levels. Even rare, legendary, and ancestral items can receive these perks. Masterworking will also be new, where the… Improve affixes up to twelve levels let.
The conclusion of the major innovations is the new dungeon “The Pit”. Anyone who has completed the nightmare dungeons at level 45 can try The Pit. Here players will also find the materials necessary for masterworking. As if that wasn't enough, all classes in Diablo 4 also receive a few buffs and unfortunately also nerfs. However, there is no concrete information about this yet.
