SUMMARY
- As the new season arrives, few players are hyped about it.
- Many players share mixed enthusiasm.
- The game's third season will introduce new gameplay changes.
Blizzard’s globally renowned dungeon crawler has been shifting the tides since its launch, but it seems that Diablo 4’s player base needs a lot more than seasonal updates to have an ongoing interest in the game.
The game’s Reddit community often sees multiple posts and conversations about the game’s future, and it’s likely that the third season of Diablo 4 will bring back players as well as keep the spark alive for existing ones. Unfortunately, many users online don’t share that sentiment.
Diablo 4 new season
The next season of the game is exciting to certain players, but not all of them. What seems to be a simple post on Reddit asking a genuine question; Redditor gorays21 sparked quite the honest conversation around the game’s upcoming update. In their post, they explain what keeps them so excited about the game’s future:
I am super excited for it. Season 2 was amazing. Season 3 should be great, can’t wait to see what they will add to the endgame and see how they balance the classes. Season 4 is going to be one for the ages as they will update itemization with season 4.
Inspiring to see this kind of love from the community. Unfortunately, this excitement hasn’t been reciprocated by most people in the comments section. There have been many mixed responses, including downright negative ones.
Sometimes, a sentence can speak louder than a thousand words, and that seems to be the case with this one comment. Another statement by a fellow Redditor even claimed how Season 2 was pretty ’meh’ and they’d love to be blown away by the next season, but aren’t really counting on it.
What can players expect from Diablo 4’s next season?
With all the new gameplay changes coming to Diablo 4 in its third season, there’s enough content to create the hype needed for sustaining a faithful player base. One of the big introductions includes Gauntlet; a new Challenge Dungeon that rotates on a weekly basis and switches up location, dungeon layouts, and enemy types.
Furthermore, it is a timed challenge that ensures that whatever loot players are able to gain throughout the playthrough is dropped during completion. Clever time-management! Players who have unlocked World Tier 4 can access the Gauntlet challenges, even though hitting Level 100 isn’t needed.
The new season will also pay attention to how Helltides work. These region-wide events are getting an overhaul, improving key aspects along with the time taken to complete them. Helltides will now run for 55 minutes (once every hour) throughout the entirety of Season 3. Previously, there used to be a 2-hour, 15-minute cooldown between resets, which was quite the wait period.
The philosophy behind this lies in the willingness to keep players motivated to earn more Helltides rewards, making for a healthy gameplay loop. We’ll likely hear more about this as time passes, and get further insights into how Diablo 4’s next season shapes up to be. Until then, users online can hope for a more balanced and inspired player base as the game welcomes new content.
