Additionally, players were advocating for the introduction of a loadout system to simplify build management and reduce the need for constant adjustments.
It has now been confirmed that at least two fan-requested features will be coming toDiablo 4.Wowheadrecently reported thatDiablo 4will soon feature customizable waypoints for Town Portals. This update allows players to designate any waypoint in the game as a favorite, enabling direct teleportation to that location instead of the default regional town. Only one waypoint can be marked as a favorite at a time, and it will be indicated with a banner icon on the world map. The standard Town Portal function to regional towns will remain active unless a waypoint is chosen as a favorite. Diablo 4’s General Manager, Rod Fergusson, confirmed that this feature will be available starting October 8, which is also therelease date for theVessel of Hatredexpansion.

This new addition will allow players to easily swap between builds,similar to the loadout system inDiablo 3, addressing long-standing calls from the community for more convenient build management.
