Diablo 4 Season of the Construct is live and there are a bunch of new mechanics and class balance changes to shake up the game. Unfortunately for the developers, these aren\u2019t being as well received as popular additions to Season 2. The player discourse surrounding Diablo 4 Season 3 at this early stage is skewing rather negatively. In particular, players have had issues with the new Vault dungeons and their \u201cannoying\u201d traps. Despite the fact that Diablo 4 Season 3 is currently in its infancy, players have been delivering verdicts on social media. It\u2019s not just the Vaults people seem to be having issues with either, one post on the Diablo 4 Subreddit called the entire season \u201ca great step backwards\u201d. \u201cI played Season 2 for at least 200 hours on hardcore. The Blood Harvests were fun and had density, the rewards felt impactful,\u201d the original poster qualified. \u201cThis season is the complete opposite and painfully unfun.\u201d They highlighted the familiar issues with the Vaults and traps therein but also took aim at Diablo 4 Season 3\u2019s mechanical companion The Seneschal. \u201c I\u2019m not sure if my robot is doing anything while I am fighting. To put it another way, if I had no robot at all, it wouldn\u2019t make a difference to me.\u201d Many users in the thread seem to agree with the sentiment despite the short timeframe that Season 3 has been in circulation. Some are even opting to skip it entirely. \u201cPlayed the s**t out of Season 2 and loved it for the most part,\u201d one player explained. \u201cJumped on earlier to see how season 3 is and I played for about 30 minutes and logged off, I\u2019ll wait for season 4.\u201d It may seem a little early to give a definitive criticism of Diablo 4 Season 3 but it hasn\u2019t stopped players from voicing their opinion on the new mechanics introduced. Season 2 is admittedly a hard act to follow after so many improvements were made to the experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diablo 4 players give early verdict on Season 3: \u201cA great step backward\u201d Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4 Season 3 is in the early stages of its launch and despite a recent uptick in player perception, this new season feels lacking to some.
