Ever had a notification pop up on your map or store, but no idea what it is for or how to clear it? You are not alone. Blizzard has acknowledged that too many notifications are pulling players away from actually playing the game.
In the latest PTR patch notes, they introduced a fix:
“The pip on the Map tab in the game menu will no longer appear if the only new item is a Cosmetic.”
For those unfamiliar, the “pip” is that little dot or exclamation mark that appears on menu tabs when there is something new. This update means if the only new thing is a mount, transmog, or other cosmetic, the pip will not show up on the Map tab anymore. This should help reduce unnecessary distractions and make it easier to spot important updates, like new quests or events.
It is a small change, but a welcome quality-of-life improvement. Hopefully, it is just the start of a larger effort to clean up Diablo 4‘s notification clutter!
