New Stuff Coming in the Diablo 4 Beta
The big thing that everyone wants to be aware of is a new limited-time cosmetic that can be earned by defeating the world boss, Ashava, at level 20. The Cry of Ashava Mount Trophy lets you equip one of Ashava's horns on the side of your mount, giving you a nice bit of flair and a record of your beta world boss kill.
Our recommendation? Level up on a harder difficulty for the increased experience gain and tone the difficulty down when you get to 20 for a quick boss kill.
You will be able to kill Ashava starting on Saturday, May 14 at 9 AM PDT, with spawns happening every 3 hours after. Ashava will only be available for 24 hours in total, so it is critical you get your character up to 20 as soon as possible!
We will also see drop rates get nerfed to the ground, to their "normal" rates that should be expected when the game launches. The previous two weekends bumped the drops up so that more testing could be done in a short amount of time. This is certainly a welcome chance since it will be easier to get a feel for the real game with one of the most important aspects, loot, having their correct drop rates.
We will however see a reduced level cap, only getting to level 20 this time around instead of 25 that we saw during the first couple of weekends. That's not a big deal, it does mean that we'll have access to fewer points to plugin to that skill tree, but we won't need to grind mobs in the world to get those final few levels after we finished up the first act.
Are you going to be participating during the Server Slam weekend? What classes are you looking forward to playing the most in Diablo 4? Let us know in the comments below!

I'm keen to try Druid again and see if those companion buffs are anything to rave about. I was really enjoying Werewolf druid in the previous beta but did find the mana generation a bit annoying.
Probably still gonna be either rogue or sorc at launch though, I'm torn between the two.
Druid was a bit of a slog in the previous open beta, at least in my opinion. It needed some buffs, but it could also be because the class' unique feature was locked beyond the acceptable area you could roam around. That would be a lame situation, though, gating their power outside the walls of the beta and expecting us to find the class enjoyable.
I briefly messed around with the Rogue and found her really fun, way more than my Druid despite being lower level and with less legendary gear. Missed the boat on Chain Lightning Sorc, though.
Im not seeing how to download the beta game for Xbox. Anyone know?
Most likely you need to look for Diablo 4 - Server Slam client coz it's named differently. But then again this was my experience on the desktop battle.net client.
Thanks, yup it popped up.
