<p>In a Fireside Chat with MrGM, Game Director Ion Hazzikostas confirmed a stat squish coming in the Midnight pre-patch!</p>



<p><em>Keep in mind this wasn’t live-streamed; it was tweeted by Kexman live from Gamescom.</em></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Will It Work?</h2>



<p>Kexman confirmed that the stat and item level squish will work like previous squishes, where we&#8217;re going from Item Level 700 to somewhere around Item Level 100.</p>
