The Missions Line that will introduce season 8 of Diablo IV will lead the players to fight against Belial's interference in a campaign during which they will meet Sayeena, a magician from the Vizjerei retired, and Jarius, who claims to be a gentleman of the Cathedral of Light. As they advance in this campaign, a new mechanics called Chief powers will be accessed, which, as the name implies, will allow players to master the same powers as enemies. «Chief's powers are a new way of deepening even more in your configurations through faculties obtained from the bosses of the world, event or lair (formerly called final bosses),» explains Blizzard.
In Sanctuary there are 24 bosses whose powers can be stolen. Each chief power has two effects, one main and one modifier, which are activated depending on the power box in which they are equated. You can have a main power, which will be the one with the greatest weight in the configuration, and up to three active modifiers at the same time.
Each season of Diablo IV adds a new event and this time it is the incursion of appearance. This event available in any difficulty is celebrated in a different part of the world of sanctuary every few minutes, and is presented as an ideal activity to obtain chief powers because it guarantees the appearance of one of them. In addition, as they get rid of the monsters that have appeared following the return of Belial, the players will increase a reputation that will offer access to harvests with uncommon objects, such as shining sparks, reservations and more.
Beyond the new content the novelties go through a redesign in the lounges. Now these bosses are divided into three levels (initiated, superior and exalted) to reflect their difficulty and reward. To invoke these bosses it is no longer necessary to use materials, but their direct booty will be very small. The real reward will be in an arch called Reserve that requires the keys of the head of Lady to open. In case of grouping each player will open his. These keys are specific to each boss, can be accumulated up to 99 and are achieved in different activities.
As tradition sends, the new season of Diablo IV will come accompanied by changes and adjustments in the characters and other systems, as well as a new collection of objects to give life to new configurations.
