To them, the update will turn their Shakos into \u201ctoilet paper.\u201d Blizzard announced through a Campfire Chat a series of changes that will revamp Diablo 4\u2019s paragon and difficulty systems and introduce a fresh level cap. However, the forthcoming update aims to alter the game\u2019s loot dynamics. The coveted Shakos loot will drop in power from 925 to 540, nearly halving its value. One forum post highlighted the issue, saying, \u201cOur existing gear\u2019s Item Power will be downgraded by about 50%. It\u2019s like all the loot you\u2019ve scavenged is now toilet paper.\u201d Players lamented the potential loss of their hard-earned gear\u2019s power, echoing this sentiment across the post\u2019s comments. A player vented, \u201cI grieve for the Sparks I spent crafting my first Mythic. This news just saved me a bunch of cash on upgrading my rig.\u201d They criticized the update, predicting worse performance and feeling disillusioned about future improvements for Diablo 4. One user questioned the update\u2019s logic: \u201cI don\u2019t understand why every item has to be reduced to 540. Why not keep it at 800 for Eternal Realm players?\u201d Another person remarked, \u201cI\u2019m still going to enjoy Season 6\u2026but damn, eternal players got wrecked.\u201d Frustration was palpable among those who had invested time in perfecting their characters. \u201cI\u2019m sick of legacy items,\u201d one player said. \u201cPlaying and progressing feels meaningless now. It\u2019s killing the hype for new seasons.\u201d Such frustration among Eternal Realm players isn\u2019t new. They\u2019ve long felt Blizzard overlooks their interests with each update, especially since Season 4. As the 2.0 update looms, players are both thrilled and worried that Diablo 4 might shift into a brand-new game experience.
