Diablo 4’s endgame loot explosion can feel overwhelming—especially when pushing high Torment tiers or farming Infernal Hordes. As players demand smarter inventory management, the latest developer Q&A finally addressed key concerns like loot filters, stash space, and Season 10 updates. For builders and farmers tired of sifting through junk, these changes could redefine the grind.
Hosted by Bluddshed on the official Diablo channel, the Q&A covered burning community questions. Here’s a distilled breakdown of the key takeaways.
Q: With loot flooding screens in activities like lair bosses, are proper loot filters coming?
A: The devs admitted the current "smart filtering" system (which hides some junk automatically) has reached its limits. They’re now actively exploring customizable loot filters to let players control what appears on the ground. No timeline or specifics yet, but this is a significant shift from past responses focused solely on itemization fixes. Comparisons to Path of Exile’s system were noted, and Blizzard seems increasingly open to the idea as player feedback grows.
Q: Will magic and rare drops in Torment difficulties be reduced?
A: Yes! Season 10 will overhaul side quests and Whisper Caches to drop Legendaries instead. The team is also fixing bugs to minimize clutter. Pets may even gain auto-salvage capabilities for unwanted gear, offering a stopgap solution until full loot filters arrive.
Q: When does Season 10 launch, and what’s new?
A: Season 10, Infernal Chaos, kicks off on September 23, 2025. A revamped dev stream will detail changes soon. Chaos powers from recent seasons will retire after Season 10, but popular mechanics may return in new forms. Uniques are getting buffed with higher base drop rates across all activities, and the Chaos Armor system will provide more paths to acquire them without repetitive boss farming.
Q: How’s class balance shaping up?
A: Spiritborn, Sorcerer, Necromancer, and Druid are currently top-tier, while Rogues may receive adjustments. The goal is to better integrate seasonal powers with skills, Legendaries, and Paragon boards for deeper build diversity.
Q: Any stash space improvements?
A: Not directly addressed in the Q&A, but community demand for more tabs is loud. Past developer hints suggest inventory reworks may tie into broader loot management changes.
Q: Will boss loot feel more unique?
A: Long-term, yes. Future expansions will differentiate drops between bosses like Andariel and Duriel for targeted farming. For now, loot pools remain shared but with Venn diagram-style overlaps (as shown in the stream).
Q: Will seasonal content go core?
A: Most quality-of-life updates will join the Eternal realm, while seasonal powers remain limited-time for experimental gameplay. Leaderboards are being refined to prioritize skill over RNG, with bug fixes from past seasons underway.
These updates confirm Blizzard is listening—even if loot filters aren’t imminent.
