Diablo 4 players reveal \u201creal reason\u201d behind Helltide hate Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4 players have shared the \u201creal reason\u201d why the game\u2019s Helltide events are disliked by so many people. The new Diablo title added a host of new features to flesh out every facet of the core experience. Helltides serve as one such feature, providing a fresh set of challenges to players who choose to explore the endgame content. These events randomly appear in the open world once players on Nightmare difficulty reach World Tier 3. Demonic energy surges into the world of Sanctuary, allowing slightly overpowered versions of Lilith\u2019s demonic forces to swarm an area. The benefit to taking on these foes is the loot they drop and the Aberrant Cinders (currency) they leave behind. However, Diablo 4 players have had a love-hate relationship with these demonic events since launch. Time gating has proven an issue for many; meanwhile, others simply believe they aren\u2019t fun activities. And it seems the disdain for Helltides won\u2019t end anytime soon. Diablo 4 players explain their dislike of Helltide events According to one Reddit user, the \u201creal reason\u201d for the Helltide hatred can be explained with one word \u2013 backtracking. The player argues that having to constantly turn around and pick up Aberrant Cinders stalls any sense of momentum. \u201cIf you hated backtracking in NM dungeons, it never compared to the sum of all the mini backtracks you\u2019re constantly doing in a Helltide, and it makes it feel super tedious,\u201d the Redditor continued. Many in the thread agreed, with one person writing, \u201cYeah I miss auto-pickup. I wish they\u2019d just add it back.\u201d Someone else suggested that Blizzard should take lessons from Diablo 3. \u201cWhat they should do is what they did in D3 with kill streak. Once [you\u2019re] done with a kill streak, you can get a certain amount of cinders depending on how many mobs you killed.\u201d Others think Diablo 4\u2019s Helltide issues go far beyond backtracking. \u201cMy issue is it\u2019s boring to not have even a tiny bit of a challenge, and not having good enough density,\u201d another Redditor said in the thread. A different user noted that more variety within the events themselves would probably help. \u201cThere needs to be more events in helltides. Most of it is just mindlessly walking around killing stray mobs.\u201d While recent updates have improved Helltides to some extent, it\u2019s clear players long for a pretty drastic overhaul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
