Throughout the previous week, Blizzard has announced the release of update 1.3.4, which has already landed today. This update is considered to be huge, as it includes multiple improvements to accessibility, Season of the Construct itself, and other gameplay and dungeon fixes.
Even though there’s not much to say, Blizzard seems to consider this update huge, and the patch notes for it can be found below.
BUG FIXES
Accessibility

Season of the Construct
