Diablo 4 players slam “outrageously bad” Season 3 content & mechanics
BlizzardDiablo 4 players are up in arms over the newly-released Season 3 to the game, upset about the content and new mechanics that are coming.
Diablo 4’s third season released a couple of days ago, and the hype around it has died out rather quickly.
From the lack of changes that the community has asked for to and the broken mechanics of the new story and content.
As a result, players are voicing their frustration online and they are not holding back in their criticisms of the developers.
Diablo 4 players railing Season 3’s content and devs
On the Diablo 4 subreddit, a post was made with a very concise critique aimed at the devs: “It’s impossible a dev team worked on this for 6 months.”
And that’s just the title. The body of the post continues on to explain how “there’s simply no way” they worked so long on Season 3.
“None of these people can have a job in this industry… you’re given the biggest arpg title and you do this?”
And the original poster is not alone in their feelings, as the comments reflect their sentiment about the length of development:
“Even if we ignore the quality of the seasonal content, the sheer lack of quantity makes it difficult to believe that it’s the product of months of work.”
A common complaint is that the new Diablo 4 season doesn’t make any changes that the community has been asking for, even going so far as to go the other direction & against players’ wishes.
“New blizzard meta; whatever the community suggests and recommend, they’re going to double it in the opposite direction.”
Blizzard EntertainmentMany of the players in the thread are annoyed by the mechanics, like the Construct companion that gets upgraded as players progress. They aren’t a huge fan of these new mechanics and feel that they lack impact or an incentive to farm.
“Yesterday I reached lvl 35 and I was looking at the screen and i didnt know what else to do. Apart for what i did for the previous 2 hours. Thats the problem.”
The Diablo 4 fanbase is clearly seeing this as another symptom of Diablo 4’s development being flawed, with one user saying: “Everything about Diablo 4 is a product management disaster.”
The game has not been without its fair share of criticisms since it launched in June of 2023, and a lot of those issues that players had at launch are still present in the game.
It seems that the fans have lost faith in the devs to deliver on what they feel needs to be changed, but it isn’t completely out of the question for the game to have a massive comeback.
