With the end of the Diablo 4 beta, Blizzard has shared some of the highest free trial numbers, and world boss Ashava is topping the charts in style. With nearly 62 million cumulative hours of play and 2.6 million players who have taken at least one character to level 20 to earn the beta wolf pack reward, the Diablo 4 beta stats clearly prove it. of the biggest beta in the history of the iconic PC. . RPG series.
Blizzard is reporting a total of 61,560,437 hours played in the beta. During this time, players have managed to defeat a staggering 29,252,746,339 monsters. When you break it down, however, it comes down to just 475 monster kills per hour, which suggests plenty of time spent immersed in the story, talking to characters, or poring over menus to deliberate on the perfect build.
During this period, players also suffered a total of 46,924,644 deaths; calculating about 0.76 deaths per hour, or about one death every 45 minutes. It’s not bad at all. However, one culprit in particular stood head and shoulders above the rest, both physically and numerically. Ashava, Diablo 4’s world boss who appeared periodically at pre-set times throughout the beta, managed to rack up 10,163,397 player deaths during the very short active period.
This makes Ashava responsible for nearly a quarter of all player deaths in the beta, and with just 107,426 total Ashava kills, that means the beast managed an impressive 100:1 kill ratio. stats far exceed those of Diablo 4’s Butcher, who managed to record a still-impressive 1,727,973 player deaths with just 576,662 fatalities in his surprise appearances.
Initially, Blizzard claimed no one reached Ashava, but some videos have apparently surfaced showing exactly that. A player who shared a video of themselves taking down the mighty creature in less than three minutes, solo, said they turned off crossplay and went there at 7 a.m., “hoping that no one else was mad enough to try to kill the creature.” hardcore so early in the morning.
When it comes to Diablo 4’s best beta classes, two clearly stood out: Sorcerer and Necromancer pulled the most, which isn’t too surprising given their incredible clear potential even at low levels.
Personally, I spent the most time on the Rogue and ended up enjoying his playstyle a lot, but even the Barbarian’s slow start allowed players to experience some pretty viable builds over time. As for the druid… maybe a little more testing was needed.
There’s still a bit of time before the Diablo 4 release date arrives, so make sure you’re prepared by learning about the Diablo 4 mounts you’ll be riding in Sanctuary when it arrives. Otherwise, check out other great games like Diablo on PC to keep the loot rolling in while you wait for June.
