Season 8 of Diablo IV has unleashed a wave of criticism just a few days after its release. Players have strongly voiced their discontent on social media, especially on Reddit, expressing their dissatisfaction with the recent perception that the voices in the Spanish version have been recorded with artificial intelligence, which has affected the immersion and quality of the game.
Not only dubbing, but also reliquaries
Additionally, the new battle pass system, now called Relics, has contributed to the general discontent. Blizzard has introduced four options, each focused on different cosmetic rewards such as armor, weapons, or mounts, but only one of these passes is completely free. Previously, players received 700 platinum coins upon completing the battle pass; now, that figure has been significantly reduced to just 200 coins, representing a significant loss and has been a cause for outrage.
The prices of the Reliquaries have also been the subject of criticism. The package that includes all the Reliquaries costs 1,000 platinum coins, while the Deluxe version rises to 2,800 coins. In this context, players feel that they are getting less for the same cost, given that the current system offers fewer rewards overall.
The discontent has reached such a point that some users have declared their intention to stop playing, comparing the current situation to previous issues in other titles, such as Apex Legends. Many believe that this strategy by Blizzard could be aimed at maximizing their revenue at the expense of player satisfaction.
The Diablo IV community is eagerly awaiting how Blizzard will respond to these criticisms, while wondering if significant changes will be made to address these issues and regain public trust.
