Fellow wanderers of Sanctuary, we've got some exciting news from the Season 10 PTR that's going to make your demon-slaying adventures much smoother! The developers have been listening to player feedback, and two fantastic quality of life improvements are heading our way that will address some of the most common frustrations casual players face.

Whisper Quest Nightmare Sigils Now Have Visual Indicators


If you've ever found yourself staring at your collection of Nightmare Sigils wondering "Which one of these is actually for my Whisper quest?", those days are finally over! The PTR has revealed a new indicator system that clearly marks any Nightmare Sigils in your inventory that correspond to active Whispers of the Dead objectives.


What this means for you:

  • No more guessing which dungeon to run for your Whispers

  • Less time spent cross-referencing your quest log with your sigil collection

  • More efficient Whisper completion, getting you those rewards faster

  • A smoother gameplay flow that keeps you in the action


This might seem like a small change, but anyone who's accidentally run the wrong dungeon (we've all been there!) knows how much time and frustration this will save.


Boss Immunity Phases Are Getting the Boot


Here's the big one that's going to make boss fights feel dramatically different: immunity phases are being removed from major encounters. This affects notorious fights like Duriel, Harbinger of Hatred, and Andariel – bosses that have historically forced players into waiting periods where damage simply couldn't be dealt.


What this changes:

  • Duriel encounters will flow more naturally without mandatory downtime

  • Harbinger of Hatred fights become more about skill and positioning than patience

  • Andariel battles can be approached with pure strategy rather than waiting for vulnerability windows


Important note: This doesn't mean these fights are getting easier in terms of damage output or mechanics complexity. You'll still need to dodge attacks, manage positioning, and execute proper rotations. What it does mean is that skilled play and good builds can push through these encounters without artificial waiting periods.


Why These Changes Matter for Casual Players


These updates represent a shift toward respecting player time – something that's especially important for those of us who can't dedicate endless hours to the game. Instead of padding encounter length with immunity phases or forcing tedious inventory management, the focus returns to actual gameplay skill and decision-making.


The Nightmare Sigil indicators eliminate busy work, while the boss immunity removal means your hard-earned character progression actually feels impactful throughout entire encounters. Both changes reduce the friction between you and the fun parts of Diablo 4.


Looking Forward to Season 10


While these are just two of the changes coming in Season 10, they're exactly the kind of player-focused improvements that make the game more enjoyable for everyone. Whether you're someone who plays for an hour after work or marathon weekend sessions, these quality-of-life updates will enhance your Sanctuary experience.


Keep an eye out for more Season 10 PTR discoveries, and happy hunting, Nephalem! The demons of Sanctuary won't know what hit them when these changes go live.
