Diablo 4 battle pass sees Blizzard under fire again for lack of premium currency BlizzardThe Diablo 4 Season 1 battle pass has received a lot of criticism from the game\u2019s community, with many calling similarities to Overwatch 2\u2019s \u201coverpriced\u201d skins. Battle passes are nothing new to live-service games, but when Blizzard announced that Diablo 4 would be getting one, many series fans were incredibly skeptical. After all, gating content behind a paywall can often lead to an outpour of frustration. This is especially true when the battle pass in question doesn\u2019t reward players with enough premium currency to actually purchase anything \u2014 an area that Blizzard has been called out for before, with Overwatch 2\u2019s battle pass coins. Unfortunately, it seems this problem reared its head again and persisted into the release of Diablo 4 Season 1. Diablo 4 players call out Season 1 battle pass \u201cThe battle pass gives 666 Platinum. The Cheapest Item in the Store is 800 Platinum,\u201d said one disgruntled player. \u201cWell done, Blizzard. Just a solid 10\/10 season, top to bottom.\u201d While Diablo 4 battle pass cosmetics don\u2019t affect your character\u2019s stats, many players grind it to unlock the Platinum needed to unlock character skins and other in-game items. However, for those ranking up the Season 1 battle pass, this is not an option. \u201cWith what, 30 items in the store, you\u2019d expect you\u2019d be able to buy at least one of them,\u201d one commenter said. \u201cThen again, all expectations are out the window with this company.\u201d To make matters even worse, another player has reportedly found that the game doesn\u2019t even tell adventurers how much Favor (battle pass EXP) they need for each tier. One player stated: \u201cHow do you have a battle pass that shows a red bar, but doesn\u2019t show the amount needed in value, then does not tell you how much each objective gives?\u201d This is certainly proving a frustrating issue for players, and one Blizzard will hopefully address sooner rather than later. As for the battle pass Platinum rewards and store prices, many players will be hoping the devs will either reward more Platinum or reduce the cost of unlockable cosmetics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
