Reasons Behind Druid and Necromancer Classes Being Locked in Diablo 4

By | Niranjan Bhargav 18 Mar, 2023

Diablo fans have reason to celebrate as the beta for Diablo 4 is now live for players who pre-ordered any of the game’s three editions. However, some players have expressed disappointment as two of their favorite classes, the Druid and Necromancer, are currently locked. So, why are these classes unavailable during the beta?

Blizzard Entertainment Addresses Concerns

Blizzard Entertainment addressed this issue prior to the beta’s launch in a blog post, stating that the Druid and Necromancer classes will only be available once the open beta weekend arrives. This means that pre-order players won’t be able to pick these classes during the first weekend of the beta. Instead, they will have to wait until March 24 when the beta officially becomes open for all players, regardless of their pre-order status.

Players Can Keep Their Characters

For fans who play during the first weekend, they will still be able to keep their characters for the second week. However, if they want to select the Druid or Necromancer, they will have to create a new character. During the beta, players can have up to ten characters at a time on their account.

Excitement for the New Classes

Despite the delay in playing as the Druid or Necromancer, fans are still excited to try out these new classes. The Necromancer, in particular, is a fan-favorite class known for summoning hordes of undead minions to do their bidding. Meanwhile, the Druid has the unique ability to shapeshift into different animals to take down enemies.

Blizzard’s Strategy

Blizzard’s strategy for delaying the release of the Druid and Necromancer during the beta is likely to give all players the chance to experience the new classes at the same time. By limiting access to pre-order players, Blizzard can also incentivize players to purchase the game before the open beta weekend.

In conclusion, while the Druid and Necromancer classes are currently locked in the Diablo 4 beta for pre-order players, they will become available during the open beta weekend starting March 24. Despite the delay, fans are still eagerly anticipating the chance to try out these new classes and explore the game’s world.
