Diablo 4 DLC: How To Understand Change Of Level Cap In Vessel Of Hatred? - Speculation & Analysis

In fact, Vessel of Hatred will change the current Diablo 4. Even if it is not a consensus, it is at least a fact recognized by most people. This new DLC of Diablo 4 will not only bring us new content but also new numbers, new level cap and even new Paragon system.

In the past period of time, many games media and Diablo 4 content creator have been able to personally experience new DLC. Most people are concerned about this new class called Spiritborn. We have also had similar news before.

In the official gameplay video, we can feel that this game is well made and straightforward. However, it is very regrettable that it does not touch the changes in game content that we expected. For example, we did not see game-wide systemic changes in new expansion.

The biggest highlight of Vessel of Hatred is the introduction of new classes. Besides this change, what we players are most concerned about is the change in a level cap in Diablo 4. At present, the maximum level that players can reach is 100. Everything we can think of about the game is related to the level, such as the item power distribution, damage scaling, loot curve, monster difficulty.

In fact, maybe many people still don’t know what the level of change means?But we need to know that change of level cap will affect effect and attribute changes of Diablo 4 Items. Maybe we can’t predict it. However, we can look back. In Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls raised the game’s level cap from level 60 to level 70, and the five of the original classes at that time all gained new abilities, which made players upgrade more intriguing for players.

So we are facing the first DLC released by Diablo 4, and we are all looking forward to whether the same effect will appear. The official remained silent on our questions. By changing level cap, many values will be changed, so this will inevitably change gameplay.

There are a lot of signs that we’re heading towards a numbers squish, so level cap is being lowered to make each level more mattering. We can speculate that new level cap is 60 based on speculation from various places, such as Reddit.

For example, the experience bar already shows a character beyond level 50, but puzzlingly, there are no Paragon Point nodes (in current version, these Paragon Point nodes are unlocked at level 50). Instead, there is a new level indicator, which is represented by a number of character level.

So many players are suspecting that this is a new Paragon system, and it looks more simplified and more like the one in Diablo 3. Through this system, we can continue to gain levels, although this level exceeds the basic level cap, but Paragon Board will still be reserved for us.

There are other factors that indicate that 60 is a new level cap. In-game tooltips secretly hint that the maximum level cap has been changed from 1001 to 60 in some places. We can see this from the official display of unique weapon stats, such as the change in armor values. If the maximum level cap remains at 1001, then armour stats should be exactly the same as they are in the current version.

Actually, there are a lot of changes. For example, this level requirements for each stage of Health Potion upgrades for Alchemists class have changed. This is a complete change. This once again proves that level 60 is the maximum level cap.

Lowering the level of the game means that all stats in the game must be compressed. This also means that not only will damage numbers be reduced but also armour values will be reduced. This is not necessarily a bad thing for players. Because it is easier to read in combat. This actually complies with some player requests.

In addition, I don’t think that the reduction in stats means that the player will suffer less damage. I think the value of each damage stage is more in line with the current numbers on the screen.

This is our analysis of the changes to the maximum level, and I hope it will give you an idea of what the changes to the level cap mean. If you are interested in other news about Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, you can join our iGMeet discord. More information and giveaway channel here.
