Diablo 4 hit the scene hard and captured the souls of many, as fans loved the return to the glorious demon-slaying series. Yet, as soon as it arrived, it fell just as hard, as player disappointment mounted due to the lack of content and updates. Diablo 4 marked the change to a seasonal model, where content would be distributed over time. However, the first season fell very flat amongst the player base, as many labeled it \u201cfiller\u201d content. Season 2, aka Season of the Blood, seems to be a return to form and has many fans excited. Unfortunately, not every player is sure this is the fix the game needs. Diablo 4 players discuss Season 2 excitement levels Over the past few weeks, Blizzard laid the foundation down as to what Season of Blood would bring. Reception has been rather split, with the quality of life changes drawing a ton of interest in some hopefuls. On the other hand, some players aren\u2019t excited due to lackluster battle pass rewards, as the rewards appear too similar to the first season\u2019s. There was also the strange math blunder Blizzard\u2019s Season 2 trailer contained, which caused further confusion amongst the players. All-in-all, the commotion hasn\u2019t taken away from the hype levels of some players. Ahead of Season of Blood\u2019s launch, players took to the forums to gauge excitement amongst the Diablo 4 community. A Redditor shared their feelings, with a nod to the Sorcerer changes \u201cSeason 2 brings much needed quality of life changes and I can\u2019t wait to play as the Sorcerer.\u201d Another player replied, \u201cI\u2019ve been purposely not playing the past 2 weeks so I didn\u2019t burn myself out. I\u2019m stoked.\u201d Despite the original poster\u2019s and a few others\u2019 palpable hype, not everyone was positive on Season 2\u2019s changes. Or the lack thereof. \u201cS1 has already killed all my passions and I have moved on to other games. Yes most of the changes of S2 are much needed changes, but they are mostly just making the game experience up to the level where it should have been since launch, aka fixing their mistakes.\u201d one disgruntled player explained. \u201cI just don\u2019t see something new that can make me so excited to come back.\u201d A few others chimed in with disappointment, as they believe that Blizzard has left core issues, such as itemization, unattended. Unfortunately for those players, no timeline on those changes have been discussed. Diablo 4 Season of Blood arrives October 17, and from there, we\u2019ll see how the new season impacts a title whose community sentiment has so rapidly shifted since its launch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Diablo 4 players look forward to Season 2 despite community-wide cynicism Blizzard EntertainmentAhead of its arrival, Diablo 4 players gauge their hype levels for Season 2, the Season of Blood.
