    <h3>Xbox One &#8211; Season 10 Login Issues</h3>
    <div class="blizzard-blue-post-content">
        <p>Hi folks,</p>
<p>We’ve noticed that Xbox One players are encountering login issues. We are investigating this issue and aim to resolve it soon. This will likely require a patch update, and we will report back here on any updates.</p>
<p>Thank you all for your patience on this.</p>
    </div>
</div>



<p>Blizzard community manager confirmed the problem already, and they added that a patch will likely be required to fix the issue. </p>



<p>If you are an Xbox player, and you have the problem, sadly there is not much else you can do outside       patiently waiting for an update, as the team works to get everyone back into the action!</p>



<p>This is a for sure only a small bump that can be encountered early in the season. It seems the launch is going smoothly for PC and other console players so far. </p>



<p>Xbox players, hang tight! Your demon-slaying adventures will be back soon!</p>


Diablo 4’s New Season Already Bugged for Xbox Players


<p>Blizzard is making sure you can slay demons with style during the <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/diablo-4-latest-season" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Season of Infernal Chaos</a> with new cosmetic sets in Tejal&#8217;s Shop!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When Is the Shop Rotating</h2>



<p>Starting <strong>September 23 at 12 p.m. PDT</strong>, players can buy a ton of new Equipment, Armor, Accessories, <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/mount-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mounts, and Mount Armor bundles</a>! So if you wanted last season&#8217;s sets, now is your ultimate last chance to get those before the new ones rotate in! </p>



<p>The highlight is the new <strong>Rogue Shadow Viper Armor set</strong>, including:</p>



<ul>
<li>The Shadow Viper Armor</li>



<li>Sinuous Suffusion marking</li>



<li>Sunken Fang Dagger skin</li>



<li>Sidewinder Crossbow skin</li>
</ul>



<p>For once, this Rogue transmog/glamour is looking really cool! But beware, the bundle does come in at 2,800 Platinum, so around €25, making some players question if their wallets are ready, or if it is worth it. </p>



<p>If you main <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/rogue/builds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rogue</a> and can afford it, this might be the perfect way to show off as you slay demons.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Lair Boss Invulnerability Changes</h2>



<p>Thought the invulnerability phase was gone for good? Think again!</p>



<ul>
<li>Invulnerability phases can not trigger until 10 seconds have passed.</li>



<li>Phases can be skipped with high enough damage.</li>



<li>At 2/3 HP, bosses gain a shield equal to 1/3 of their max life.</li>



<li>At 1/3 HP, the shield jumps to 2/3 of their max life.</li>



<li>Shields last 5 seconds, and if broken in time, the boss never goes invulnerable.</li>
</ul>



<p>Even if the invulnerability is not completely removed, this should make boss fights less frustrating, and actually rewarding burst damage.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Class Balance &amp; Bug Fixes</h2>



<p>Every class received additional changes, with bug fixes targeting core abilities and Aspects, such as: </p>

Diablo 4 Season 10 Final Balance Update – Is Your Build Still Safe?


<p><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/diablo-4-new-season-checklist" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Leveling in Diablo 4</a> is one of those things that seems simple until you actually sit down and try it. How long should it take to go from level 1 to 60? A recent Reddit thread asked the exact same question, and the results show just how wildly different the journey can look depending on how you play.</p>



<p>You can take a look at the Reddit post here:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:316px" ><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1no1v2b/160_how_long_typically_day_one/">1-60 how long typically day one</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/athlaka916/">u/athlaka916</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/">diablo4</a></blockquote><script async src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<p>Some players say it is a lightning-fast grind, possible in just a few hours. Others spread it out over a week, a handful of hours a night. And in between lies a whole spectrum of methods, shortcuts, and memes.  </p>



<p>So, can you really hit level 60 in a day? Here is the reality of it all!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Speedrunners</h2>



<p>For some, level 60 is not a milestone but just a warmup lap. Several players claimed they can get there in as little as 2-3 hours.  </p>



<p>The fastest path, according to them, is actually making it through the campaign and skipping cutscenes, or farming <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/nightmare-dungeon-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Whisper dungeons</a> and <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/helltide-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Helltides</a> with good efficiency. This means running from Whisper to Whisper and farming the Hell out of Helltide for hours. Group play makes it even faster. </p>



<p>One player summed it up: &#8220;<em>3 hours every season. 4 if you are slow.</em>&#8221; </p>



<p>It is not glamorous, and not even sure it is fun, but it gets the job done.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Mid-Pack</h2>



<p>Others land somewhere in the middle, so around 6-8 hours for a focused grind, often including the seasonal storyline, strongholds, and some exploration. </p>



<p>This is also where the thread&#8217;s best advice popped up: &#8220;<em><strong>Town is lava</strong></em>.&#8221; The joke being that the biggest time-waster is not combat, but hanging around in town menus, checking gear, or chatting with friends. The more you avoid downtime, the faster you level. </p>



<p>These players might not finish in a single night, but they can hit 60 comfortably within a day if they really push.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Chill Crowd</h2>



<p>Then there are the players who do not see the point of rushing. For them, level 60 takes a few days, sometimes a week or more, as they spread it out across shorter sessions.</p>



<p>These players run the seasonal questline, stop to grab waypoints, and sometimes even watch the cutscenes again. One commenter described it best: <em>&#8220;I get there when I get there.</em>&#8220;</p>



<p>For this crowd, Diablo 4 is not a race. It is a long grind meant to last the season. And this is the beauty of it. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So What Is the Truth?</h2>



<p>The takeaway from the community is that yes, you can absolutely hit level 60 in a single day, speedrunners have proven it is possible in just a few hours. But if you <em>should</em> is another question. </p>



<p>For some, blasting to 60 is the only way to start the real game. For others, the climb itself is the point, even if it takes a week of casual play. Some players argue there is no point in speedrunning to the end in one day, only to complain later that the game feels empty. Slow down a bit, and you will usually get way more out of it. </p>



<p>At the end of the day, how fast you hit 60 in <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/diablo-4-latest-season" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diablo 4</a> depends less on the game itself and more on your mindset. Rush, grind, chill&#8230; the choice is yours!</p>


Can You Really Hit Level 60 in a Day in Diablo 4?


<p><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/diablo-4-latest-season" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Season 10 of Diablo 4 starts tonight</a>, and the complaints have already started. For many players, the biggest annoyance is not the new loot or the meta. It is the unnecessary grind of unlocking Strongholds and Waypoints all over again for every new character. </p>



<p>Sure, you can skip the campaign, but strongholds and waypoints? They are optional&#8230; mostly. And yet, for <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/druid/builds" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Druids</a> or other specific quests, players often <em>have</em> to do them just to progress. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why It Is Such a Pain</h2>



<p>Strongholds are not just filler, they are a source of XP, and some class quests require them to unlock special abilities. But after doing them once, having to clear them again for every new character feels like a waste of time for many players. </p>



<p>Waypoints are arguably even worse. There is zero reason to trek across the map just to unlock them again, especially when you are playing since the start of the game and unlocked those already ten thousand times before. </p>



<p>As one Reddit user put it:</p>



<p>&#8220;<em>I usually make at least 3 characters per season, and that&#8217;s probably the most tedious part</em>.&#8221;</p>



<p>Some players just skip them entirely unless a seasonal quest requires it, and others grudgingly run them for the XP or access to legion events. The consensus is that Strongholds are fine as long as there is a good reason to do them, but waypoints should transfer automatically. </p>



<p>The Diablo 4 Subreddit is split. Some people appreciate Strongholds as a fun way to level and explore the world, but others see them as a repetitive, pointless grind. Popular suggestions include:</p>



<ul>
<li>Unlocking previously completed strongholds automatically for new characters.</li>



<li>Having all waypoints transfer season-to-season.</li>



<li>Giving strongholds more meaningful rewards, like XP or zone buffs, to justify repeating them.</li>
</ul>



<p>One user summed it up perfectly:</p>



<p>&#8220;They should reset at season start and once you complete them you are good for the season. Doesn&#8217;t make sense on every character.&#8221; </p>



<p>You can check out the Reddit post here:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:316px" ><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1nnzsig/is_there_an_actual_good_reason_why_you_have_redo/">Is there an actual good reason why you have redo all strongholds and several fast travel points with a new character?</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/bendermac/">u/bendermac</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/">diablo4</a></blockquote><script async src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Has That Not Been Changed Yet</h2>



<p>From a dev perspective, repeating content can help pad playtime, encourage exploration, and give new seasonal players a structured journey. But for old players juggling multiple characters, it is mostly friction that slows down the fun.</p>



<p>A lot of players would simply want Strongholds to have more value, and for Waypoints to stay unlocked. </p>



<p>As Season 10 launches, this debate is unlikely to die down anytime soon. Will Blizzard change strongholds and waypoints in the future? We are certainly hoping for it. Until then, the grind continues!</p>


Diablo 4 Season 10 Starts And Players Are Already Sick of Redoing This


<p><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/diablo-4-latest-season" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diablo 4 Season 10</a> all about chaos, choice, and chasing the rarest loot. This time around, Blizzard is changing the game with new mechanics that reward players willing to experiment, and keep an eye out for the mysterious <strong><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/chaos-rifts-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mythic Rifts</a></strong>.</p>



<p>In a new video, you can watch Bluddshed as he goes over the upcoming Seasonal content:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Mythic Rifts: The Loot You will Want to Chase</h2>



<p>Chaos rifts now appear across <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/nightmare-dungeon-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nightmare Dungeons</a> and <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/helltide-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Helltides</a>, with rarities ranging from magic all the way up to mythic. If you stumble upon a Mythic Rift, do not sleep on it! They are full of powerful loot, tons of experience, and seasonal currency (Infernal Warp). </p>



<p>The best part is that those <strong>Mythic Rifts will guarantee a Mythic drop</strong>! Of course, those Rifts are pretty rare, but they are definitely rewarding and worth farming for!</p>



<p>This season is perfect for adventurers who love chasing rare rewards and experimenting with their builds.</p>

Why You Shouldn’t Start Diablo 4 Season 10 Without These Guides


<p>One feature is already standing out in <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diablo 4</a> <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/diablo-4-latest-season" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Season 10: Season of Infernal Chaos</a>, and that is <strong><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/chaos-armor-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chaos Armor</a></strong>. These new gear pieces will definitely change the endgame meta, but they come with a catch. Unlike standard Uniques, <strong>Chaos Armor is account bound</strong>, meaning you can not trade or buy it from other players. If you want a full set in the right slots, you will need to grind it out yourself.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Is Chaos Armor So Good</h2>



<p>Chaos Armor is designed for high-level activities and will likely become mandatory for builds pushing the hardest content, including:</p>



<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/the-pit-of-the-artificers-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Pit of the Artificer</a></li>



<li><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/infernal-hordes-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reworked Infernal Hordes</a></li>



<li><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/lair-boss-system-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Lair Bosses</a></li>
</ul>



<p>These armor pieces open up the possibilities for new combinations and builds, <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/tier-lists" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">changing the current meta</a>, and allowing players to create original compositions.</p>



<p>Chaos Armor really changes things up because it lets you use Uniques in slots they normally would not drop in. For example, <a class="icy-gtnbrg-link" href="#"><span class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip"><img decoding="async" class="icy-gtnbrg-tooltip-img" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/static/d4/latest/images/icons/2DInventory_Rings_76.webp" alt="Scoundrel's Kiss"><span class="tooltip-spell-name" data-item-type="Ring" data-item-quality="unique">Scoundrel&#8217;s Kiss</span></span></a> can show up as Chaos Armor in any slot from Head to Boots, and that means you can finally pair it with other Rings instead of being locked to just one.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to get Chaos Armor in Season 10</h2>



<p>There are only a few ways to farm Chaos Armor:</p>



<ul>
<li><strong><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/chaos-rifts-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chaos Rifts</a></strong> &#8211; Sealing rifts inside Helltides and Nightmare Dungeons can drop Chaos Armor.</li>



<li><strong><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/infernal-hordes-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Infernal Hordes</a></strong> &#8211; Appears as a reward chest drop, even if you do not defeat the final boss.</li>



<li><strong><a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/bartuc-infernal-hordes-boss-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bartuc, Lord of Chaos</a></strong> &#8211; The most reliable source, guaranteeing a drop on Torment 3 and 4. To fight him, you will need to spend <strong>666 Burning Aether</strong> after an Infernal Hordes run. This is a tough encounter, but also the most consistent way to secure Chaos Armor.</li>
</ul>



<p>Unlike other Uniques, Chaos Armor is account bound, meaning you will not be able to trade them with other players, so farming is unavoidable. It opens up exciting new build paths, but players chasing specific slots may spend the entire season grinding for the perfect setup.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/d4-s10-armor-swap.webp" alt="" class="wp-image 98527" /></figure>



<p>If you are looking for Chaos Armor in all your slots, and some uniques need to be in a specific one, you might have to grind for the whole season before you get what you want. There is no way to target farm any of those uniques, and even less way to target them for specific slots. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Don&#8217;t Need to Drop Them for Specific Slots</h2>



<p>As a reminder, Chaos Armor always drops with max rolls and one Greater Affix, no matter the slot it lands in. So unless you really need to keep a normal Unique or Mythic in a certain slot, it is usually best to just grab the piece with the best rolls. It does not really matter if it goes on your head, gloves, chest, boots, or pants.</p>



<p>All in all, Chaos Armor gives you a lot of freedom to experiment with new builds, but getting the pieces you want is going to take some serious farming. Start chasing those rifts, Infernal Hordes, and take on Bartuc if you are aiming for the best setup. Your perfect Chaos Armor combo might take the whole season to pull together, but the payoff could be huge!</p>

Diablo 4 Season 10 Season of Infernal Chaos Release Times


<p>One of the newest features coming to <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/guides/diablo-4-latest-season" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diablo 4 Season 10</a> is the brand new <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/d4/news/diablo-4-season-10-chaos-armor-explained-full-unique-list" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Chaos Armor</a>. As a result, the Chaos Armor shakes up the meta for builds and gives players fresh options to explore. However, despite these changes, fans are already criticizing some pieces as recycled from older sets.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Armor, Old Looks</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img decoding="async" src="https://static.icy-veins.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/ChaosArmorS10Beams.webp" alt="Diablo 4 Season 10 Blessings are all about boosting your grind to find more Chaos Armor through Infernal Hordes, Nightmare Dungeons, and more." class="wp-image 90876" /></figure>



<p>For most games nowadays, the true endgame lies in fashion. It&#8217;s a shared experience across multiple genres, including <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/wow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World of Warcraft</a>, Warframe, and even <a href="https://www.icy-veins.com/other-games/news/dark-souls-3-remaster-or-new-ip-fromsofts-next-game-leaks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dark Souls</a>. Sadly, Diablo 4 doesn&#8217;t have many new earnable pieces of transmog aside from one or two sets introduced every season, which are hard to blend with other armors.</p>



<p>Fans hoped to see new models with the Chaos Armor, but most, if not all, of the new Chaos sets simply reused or slightly tweaked older designs. Reddit user <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/magestick1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Magestick1 </a>notes that one of the Chaos armor samples is essentially the Soul Drinker armor fuzed with the Greater Helm of the Khazra, featuring some new effects.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-reddit wp-block-embed-reddit"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="reddit-embed-bq" style="height:500px" ><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/1nmu0xv/did_you_notice_any_similarities_in_the_chaos/">Did you notice any similarities in the chaos armor transmog?</a><br> by<a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/magestick1/">u/magestick1</a> in<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/">diablo4</a></blockquote><script async src="https://embed.reddit.com/widgets.js" charset="UTF-8"></script>
</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Diablo 4 Cycle?</h2>



<p>Many comments in this thread express disappointment over the fact that most flashy and eye-catching armor pieces are now only available through the in-game Store or the seasonal Battle Pass. Players who don’t want to spend money each season find themselves with fewer and fewer options for transmog.</p>



<p>The limited-time nature of each season&#8217;s Battle Pass armor is creating an escalating problem. If you don&#8217;t buy and grind out every set each season, you&#8217;ll struggle to find much to transmog with. </p>



<p>Fans also express their growing frustrations as Blizzard continues to recycle models, content, or other gimmicks to keep seasons rolling out. Does Blizzard need to make seasons longer to cook up something fresh? Is the time between Diablo 4 seasons too short, which is why Blizzard has to reuse models? Is this a problem that Blizzard will ever address? </p>
