The weekly cross-game briefing: what actually moved, what got hotfixed, and where our own calls were wrong. One report per week, every game on the network. Rankings follow our published methodology.
Marathon's first PvE-only mode opens on Cryo Archive, and we ship a full Vault Breaker guide. In Diablo IV, we own the miss: no Death Trap nerf came — a surprise 3.1.1a instead lifted the crafted-Mythic equip limit and made Rogue stronger, while Druid took the week's real hit. PoE2's 0.5.5 soft reset waits on the July 24 reveal, now with two reset events reportedly planned before 1.0. Read report #003 →
Diablo IV's first balance patch arrives with Mythic itemization fixes and a Druid nerf — while the Death Trap hotfix we predicted never came, and Rogues rode the bug to Pit 150. PoE2 readies a late-July 0.5.5 soft economy reset, and Marathon sits one week from Vault Breaker, where tier lists won't apply by design. (Followed up in #003: the Death Trap nerf still didn't land — 3.1.1a buffed Rogue instead.) Read report #002 →
Barbarian and Rogue seize the Diablo IV Season 14 ladder as the Ramaladni's fix crowns Ancient Singer — and our launch Paladin call gets publicly corrected. PoE2's Runes of Aldur settles into a builder's league with Twister Monk mapping fastest, and Marathon counts down to its July 21 mid-season test. Read report #001 →
