Blizzard swapped the Diablo 4 and WoW character selection screens Blizzard\/DexertoPlayers are convinced that Blizzard has swapped the character selection screens for Diablo 4 and World of Warcraft, and they\u2019re side-eyeing this with a mix of amusement and confusion. Blizzard is the publisher behind both World of Warcraft and Diablo 4, two franchises that have been a cornerstone of the gaming world for what feels like several lifetimes. During this time, both have gone through lots of iterations. WoW, for example, recently launched The War Within, bringing big class changes and PvP tweaks. Meanwhile, Diablo 4 revamped its entire endgame leveling system, capping the level at 60 and ditching its original difficulty setup for a more familiar one from earlier games. But players aren\u2019t talking about class changes or level caps today. No, on Reddit, they\u2019re laser-focused on a minor, eyebrow-raising detail: the character creation and selection screens. In Diablo 4, the days of sitting around a cozy campfire and selecting your character are over. Now, players just get plain old icons at the bottom of the screen. Meanwhile, World of Warcraft has gotten a glow-up, ditching its simple solo character screen for a Diablo-style campfire scene. \u201cSomething super weird about the fact that they swapped the character select screens,\u201d one player noted. Players find this amusing for one key reason: WoW is becoming more solo-friendly, while Diablo 4 is pushing players toward group-only raids. As one player pointed out, \u201cWoW goes solo-friendly this expansion, D4 gets group-only raids!\u201d For longtime Diablo players, the nostalgia hit hard. \u201cSitting around the campfire has over 20 years of nostalgia for me. Bummer they got rid of it,\u201d one lamented. As Diablo 4 gears up for its massive 2.0 update in October, players are bracing themselves for what feels like a \u201cbrand new game.\u201d The excitement is real, but some fear their current progress will be wiped out in the upcoming Vessel of Hatred drop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
