Diablo 4 Season 4 Could Boast the Game's Biggest Improvements So Far | Push Square
05.04.2024 - 09:19 / pushsquare.com
It's easy to forget that Diablo 4 has only been on the market for ten months. The game's had so many ups and downs that it feels like it's been hanging around for years, with the general consensus being that Blizzard has struggled to maintain the title's momentum through its seasonal updates. But with Season 4 — which is due to drop in May — the developer may finally be on the cusp of convincing hardcore players that the action RPG is in a good place.
Right now, PC players are able to take Season 4 for a a spin through public test servers, and the feedback has been rather positive. Indeed, Blizzard is making significant changes to the title's loot system in an attempt to make everything feel more rewarding. The current system has been a sticking point for many since the game released, with weapons and armour stuck with borderline pointless attributes until you get endgame gear — and then it's just a case of following a very clearly defined meta. In short, there's just an overall lack of variety; so much loot feels useless.
Season 4's adjustments are meant to make each item feel worthwhile — like it's at least something to consider. Again, the reaction to these adjustments has been positive so far, and Blizzard's decision to delay the season's full launch — so that it can properly test this refreshed system — has proven to be quite wise. Here's hoping that it all works out next month.
Are you still playing Diablo 4? Might Season 4 tempt you back into the fray? Starting crafting some new character builds in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
I still plan on coming back when they add actually new content. I have zero desire to start over again.
I love diablo 4 but I must admit I've lapsed recently because helldivers 2 and dragons dogma 2 have taken over my spare time but I'm always up for more diablo related shenanigans..
I own the game but haven't touched it yet since other games were still coming out but do want to get to it despite the surrounding commotion since I heard the story was good
I ***** LOVE Diablo, but 4 left a really bad taste in my mouth. They changed the Paragon point system by hard-capping the points available. I much prefer D3's endless system that let you feel as though you were always making SOME progress. There's no carrot on the end of the stick once you max out in D4 and I think that was a bad design decision.
Obviously the other loot and XP issues and general

Is Diablo 4 Season 4 Really So Great It Should Be Considered Diablo 5? Blizzard Has Its Say
When Diablo 3 got its pre-Reaper of Souls expansion patch dubbed 'loot 2.0' in 2014, it was credited with turning Blizzard’s action role-playing game around. Critics and players called loot 2.0 a big improvement on Diablo 3, with changes that sparked renewed interest from a community that had dropped off following the base game’s 2012 release. Now, 10 years later, Blizzard is aiming to repeat the trick with Diablo 4 Season 4.
