A cleverDiablo 4player has come up with a tweak to the game’s world bosses that would make taking them down even more satisfying. As the fourth mainline installment of Blizzard’s legendary dark fantasy dungeon-crawling ARPG,Diablo 4launched earlier this month to rave reviews and is Blizzard’s fastest-selling game ever.
Part ofDiablo 4’s massive co-op-enabled open worldare events that see groups of players across Sanctuary teaming up to face fearsome world bosses. These three world bosses, Ashava, Avarice, and Wandering Death, pop up periodically across several possible locations in the world, where up to twelve players join up to take them down for an incredible bounty of loot as well as weekly Grand Caches. Once the world boss is vanquished and the battle ends, players gather their loot and go off on their separate ways.

OneDiablo 4player has an idea to make these world boss encounters even more satisfying. Reddit user adams551 expressed their simple desire to be able to see how much damage one has dealt to a defeated world boss after the event ends. As withany enemy inDiablo 4,players can see the damage numbers pop up as they lay into a world boss, however, the added-up total of players' contributions to the battles isn’t part of theDiablo 4experience as of right now.
Other commenters below the post expanded on this idea, expressing interest in similar in-depth stat charts for dungeons, including critical damage andamount of health potions used inDiablo 4. A feature like this could help players measure up to their co-op partners to determine if their damage output could be improved. Others raise concerns that a scoreboard-like feature would enable toxicity among world boss participants. That being said, a feature in the same vein as adams551’s proposed idea where players can only see their own contribution would help mitigate this concern.
As an ever-changing live service title, it wouldn’t be unwise to think a feature such as this could be added toDiablo 4in the future. As the dungeon-crawling ARPG deals a lot with intricate and detailed stat calculations, one would think Blizzard has the capability to add such stat chart features to the game’s world bosses or dungeons upon completion, or even during the sessions themselves. As of now, no such features have been officially confirmed by Blizzard, but with the many seasons, updates, andexpansions all planned forDiablo 4’s future, there’s always the possibility.
Diablo 4is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
