The second season of Diablo 4, Season of Blood, garnered positive feedback from players for its refreshing gameplay mechanics and new abilities in the Vampire Powers. However, the latest season, Season of the Construct, did not receive the same level of praise as its predecessor. Many players expressed dissatisfaction with Episode 3, citing problems with Malphus, the economy, and the unpopular new trap rooms. Despite Blizzard releasing a patch to address some of these issues, another bug has been discovered, which has caused a mix of amusement and frustration for players. A Reddit thread uncovered Season 2 items dropping as rewards for players in Season 3 of Helltide, despite these items being intended to be removed in the Season 3 release. The thread’s title humorously suggested that Season 3 is so disappointing that players would prefer to return to Season 2. This was accompanied by a picture showing a Pact of Ferocity loot drop—one of the Season 2 rewards. “I wish I had gotten this drop from the Fire Boss,” the original poster remarked. The responses to the thread varied from amusement, often incorporating dark humor due to Blizzard’s recent controversies, to frustration. A user asked, “Does Blizzard have any quality control?” prompting another user to respond, “Just let them be.”
BlizzardPlayers were not as satisfied with Season 3 as anticipated. “Blizzard should take the entire company back to 2008,” one user joked. However, some players were very disappointed with the oversight of the developers. “From bad to worse. Whatever the original plan, this just showcases the incompetence of the developers,” remarked one user. Another user concurred, writing, “Just give us a refund at this point, it’s a complete and unacceptable letdown.” With many fans hoping for a new and exciting experience similar to Season of Blood, it seems that Season 3 has not met expectations.
