The update removes the automatic exit portal that would spawn after completing Pit and Tower runs—an addition originally meant as a quality-of-life feature. Instead, it ended up backfiring.

Players were accidentally clicking the portal before collecting loot or completing Glyph upgrades, instantly exiting the activity and locking themselves out of rewards.

Blizzard admitted the design “missed the mark” and removed the feature entirely in Hotfix 4 (version 3.0.1).

The update also fixes:

An exploit allowing infinite farming of Nemesis boss lairs by swapping difficulties in groups
A softlock issue in The Soil, The Seed, The Fruit questline
Various stability improvements

Despite the rough edges, Lord of Hatred has been well received, with Blizzard continuing to rapidly patch issues just days after launch.
