Diablo 4 players refuse to buy expansion for an \u201cunfinished\u201d game Blizzard EntertainmentFollowing the Vessel of Hatred expansion\u2019s announcement, Diablo 4 players aren\u2019t too thrilled with the idea of an expansion given the state of the game. In the sea of all the games launched this year, Diablo 4\u2019s arrival was a rather strange one. Diablo\u2019s arrival was met with rave reviews, yet as soon as player completed their runs, the fires of Blizzard\u2019s return died out in seconds. Player concerns were through the roof, with endgame issues and itemization just a few of the myriad of issues. These issues have gradually seen fixes since the game launched, but it\u2019s been a long battle, as there\u2019s still much room for improvement. 2024 will bring a new expansion, Vessel of Hatred, to the table. However, some fans aren\u2019t as excited as Blizzard would hope for. Diablo 4 players split on Vessel of Hatred\u2019s announcement Since Diablo 4 arrived, the maligned title has been through two seasons of content. The first season received harsh feedback, as it failed to improve the endgame concerns or address quality of life changes. Dubbed \u201cfiller content\u201d by fans on the forums, the future was looking bleak. Diablo\u2019s second season, Season of Blood, seemingly flipped the script. Dungeon reworks, mount movement, and Sorceror buffs, along with other quality-of-life changes, gave the game a much-needed infusion of life. Dare say, fan sentiment has even turned to hopeful for the future of Diablo 4. Yet when the announcement of the expansion came at BlizzCon, it split the fanbase. Many were excited, while others still held on to their disdain of the \u201cunfinished title\u201d in a series of replies to the trailer on the game\u2019s official Reddit. Many were quick to point out the expansion launches in 2024, so there will be plenty of time for changes to come. While that\u2019s true, others combatted the state of the game should\u2019ve been where it\u2019s at now upon launch. One player shared: \u201cCurrent Diablo 4 mid-late game is hardly worth playing still and here we are with Blizzard already teasing the next expansion\u2026 Diablo is the new CoD.\u201d Call of Duty has faced its fair share of criticisms, eerily identical to Diablo. \u201cHope it\u2019s free considering how little I got from my purchase so far,\u201d commented another. We\u2019re still a ways off before Vessel of Hatred arrives, and it\u2019ll be interesting to see how Blizzard builds upon Diablo 4. Stay tuned, as the battle rages on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
