Diablo 4 players are not happy with the newest season to the game, calling it a “downgrade” and “boring” to play.
Despite being a newly-released season with some new mechanics, Diablo 4’s Season 3has not been well-receivedby the game’s community.
Since it came out this week, the season hasbeen dragged through the mudin multiple platforms online.
Players are continuing thisbarrage of criticismon social media, calling the new season a step back from the previous season. And Season 2 wasn’t exactly flawless, either.
Diablo 4 players claim Season 3 has “boring” gameplay
While Season 3 is getting blasted on most online platforms, heading over to the Diablo 4 subredditshows one postthat really digs into it, titled: “By the way, the devs claimed that this would be the ‘biggest season yet.’ That’s demonstrably false.”
To back up this claim of lying, the poster says, “What’s supposed to bebig about this season? It’s a robo-pet, traps in the open world, and vaults which are just dungeons with traps. That’sliterally the sum totalof what this season is.”
They also mention that the last season gave them new bosses, a new progression system, and more. Season 3 doesn’t bring much of anything new to the table on that front.
The community is flocking to the post to agree with the sentiment, with one response saying: “Biggest disappointment for sure.”
Some Diablo 4 players blame others forbelieving the marketing claimsmade by the devs: “Don’t ever take those marketing statements seriously.”
One user goes as far as to say that it doesn’t matter what the new content is, as the game is fundamentally broken in its core systems:
“… it’s the core systems in the game that are bad, world tiers need to go, so do aspects.”
It is clear that this season is not helping with any of the criticisms Diablo 4 has been met with since its launch last year, and the community is reaching a breaking point.
