Blizzard recently dropped update 1.1.0, a new patch that brought a slew of changes. While there were some alterations that positively impacted the game, fans are concerned about something that was not clearly mentioned in the 1.1.0 patch notes. That said, the developers seem to have locked World Tiers behind levels.

Fans aren't happy with this, and one of them had this to say about the decision:

"It just goes from bad to worse."

What are the new Diablo 4 World Tier level requirements?

Diablo 4 fans will have to reach level 50 to access World Tier 3 and level 70 to unlock WT4. This news has invoked a lot of negative responses from players. The prime reason for this uproar is that many fans had requested a separate World Tier at level 80, but Blizzard ensured WT4 started at level 70 instead. That said, it's worth noting that World Tier 2 can be accessed at any time.

Many players unlocked World Tier 4 when were under level 70. This offered them a sense of accomplishment that the new changes have made impossible to derive.

This level-requirements alteration will naturally act as a hindrance for avid lower-level players to access higher a World Tier. Many feel that this is not a good approach and is aimed at slowing down the progression of newcomers.

While many players did not mind the nerfs and other class-specific changes patch 1.1.0 came with, the level requirements have got all fans concerned about their impact on gameplay.

Such alterations are making many wonder whether to continue playing the game and engaging in end-game content.

Another aspect adding to the concern is the low amount of experience/XP World Tiers 3 and 4 will offer now. This is because the enemies one will encounter in them will be under-leveled and will yield fewer XP.

Some players speculate that this move was executed to pad the game’s longevity.

Fans can only wait for an official response regarding the level requirements. Perhaps if the community is vocal enough, Blizzard may roll out a patch to fix this.
