Summary
The newDiablo 4Update 1.4.1 has just been released, and it’s already facing issues, as Blizzard has confirmed that the recent Masterworking feature has been temporarily disabled. Masterworking is a new endgame crafting system recently added toDiablo 4, which allows gamers to use buff affixes to Legendary and Unique equipment, gaining more control over their ultimate gear. While liked by many players, the Masterworking system was controversial due to how much gold it made players spend.
Diablo 4’s Update 1.4.1 was recently implemented, making several changes to the game’s balance and promising to fix many bugs. One of the mostnoteworthy changes made by the newDiablo 4patchwas concerning the Masterworking system, and it aimed to reduce how much gold was spent on it. If the patch worked as intended, the Masterworking system would consume less gold starting on Rank 5. The decrease in gold costs would diminish up to Rank 12, where it would be 75% cheaper than before. However, it seems that these changes led to some kind of issue, breaking the system.
Now, Blizzard has revealed on its forums that Masterworking is currently disabled. Community Manager Adam Fletcher confirmed that the team is currently looking to provide a hotfix for the problem soon, but did not give any specific release date for solving the issue. At the moment, it’s unclear whyDiablo 4’s new Update 1.4.1broke the Masterworking system. However, there is already a workaround for players who want to use the endgame system, as players can run either any Pit level or transmuting materials to unlock the ability again.
