Some of the changes in the new patch seem inspired by the discussions of players and ideas that have been brought up in the community, and while there’s no way to be absolutely sure about that, it’s something that we would expect from Blizzard.
The studio is well aware of the potential that lies in those discussions and the importance of keeping up with what players want to see in the game, and if they’ve been paying attention to that so far, then things could get even more interesting in the future after players have shared their thoughts on this new update as well.
For now, players have been sharing their impressions about 2.4, and most seem to be quite satisfied with what they got, including some who have been skeptical before the update landed.
But that’s pretty standard for major games like those published by Blizzard – core members of the audience are usually worried when big updates are coming up, as this could have some implications for the game that might not be aligned with what players want, including changes that can potentially ruin it forever. It’s happened before, but thankfully Blizzard are a studio that’s well aware of those situations and how to avoid them.
