Diablo 4 players claim lackluster Season 1 was \u201cfiller\u201d to stall for Season 2 Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4 Season 1 is being characterized as \u201cfiller content\u201d now that Season 2 is on the horizon, and many players claim it feels as if it was just meant to tide players over until Season 2 brought meaningful changes to the game. The story of Diablo 4 upon its release tells an entirely different tale from the Diablo 4 we have now. We\u2019re on the cusp of Season 2\u2019s release, and, with Season 1\u2019s content offering (or the lack thereof) leaving players and content creators burnt out, Diablo 4 isn\u2019t in the best spot. Though many players are hopeful that Season 2 will put Diablo 4 in a better place, Season 1 has left the community divided as to whether or not people got swept up in the honeymoon phase of Diablo 4 or if it\u2019s actually a good game. One player compared Diablo 4\u2019s first season to \u201cfiller content\u201d, sparking a conversation in the community as to whether or not Season 1 was rushed or if the devs just needed time to figure out what problems needed to be addressed. Diablo 4 players call Season 1 \u201cfiller content\u201d ahead of Season 2 To say Diablo 4\u2019s first season has been divisive would be an understatement. Though the game initial reception was glowing, the end game left players wanting and Season 1 didn\u2019t sate players\u2019 thirst for new, challenging content. While the whole Malignant theme had its upsides and features that players genuinely enjoyed, there\u2019s been a lot of negative sentiment surrounding the content on offer along with the Season 1 update. Season 2 has generated a great deal of hype with Diablo 4\u2019s remaining player base with how much more it has than Season 1, but this has led players to look back on the game\u2019s journey so far with ire. Reddit user Krostas called Diablo 4 Season 1 \u201cfiller content\u201d and said that, while they\u2019re impressed with the Season 2 content offering, it really puts Season 1\u2019s lack of content into perspective. Their perspective prompted hundreds of comments, many of which had varying viewpoints on Diablo 4\u2019s first season. On the optimistic side of things, some players weren\u2019t surprise that it\u2019s taken the dev team some time to figure out how the end game should function and are willing to give devs the benefit of the doubt. \u201cSeason 1 was already complete at the time of the game\u2019s release. They could only make so many tweaks via hotfixes at that time. Whereas it\u2019s clear that they\u2019ve had time since the release to add as many simple fixes ASAP in time for the S2 release. We\u2019ll see more and bigger fixes coming from now on as each issue is resolved, tested, and then released. :)\u201d concluded one Redditor. However, others felt that Diablo 4 Season 2 won\u2019t fix enough to stand out from the first season, and that there are core issues with the game that have yet to be addressed. \u201cI\u2019ll reserve judgement but there are still plenty of underlying design decisions that are unresolved, including the core of an arpg \u2013 loot, affixes, and dungeons, which remain largely unchanged in s2. The game is still going to feel incomplete after lvl 75-80, it still has timer gated content, it still has limited dmg scaling besides crit and vuln, no loot filters, etc.\u201d speculated another Redditor. Ultimately, it remains to be seen if Diablo 4 can recapture the magic of its release with a strong Season 2 content offering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
