Diablo 4’s Season of Witchcraft has been largely well received by most players of Blizzard’s ARPG. While some are still unhappy—as usual—with the new update, players are enjoying the return of Witch Doctor abilities, albeit without a Witch Doctor class.
With more grind and extra difficulty, it seems that Diablo 4 has found a strong footing after the last few seasons of rapid grinding pushed classic players away. However, Blizzard is still looking to the fans to find out if they actually did well this time.
Blizzard asks fans if Diablo 4 is good now
In a Twitter post by Diablo General Manager Rod Fergusson, players were asked about the state of the action-RPG after the release of Season of Witchcraft.
In a simple poll, Ferguson asked players about the “progression pace of Season 7” as Blizzard continues to aim for a perfect grinding balance that doesn’t upset fans. (Impossible.)
As if they were a demonic Goldilocks, players were given three options for the progression pace of Diablo 4 Season 7: Too Fast, Two Slow or Just Right.
At the time of writing, players are split, but many are happy with the state of the game. 37% of players believe the game’s progression is still too fast and just 22% believe it’s too slow. However, 41% of players feel that Season 7 has finally nailed the game’s progression rate.
Curiously, billionaire oligarch and internet cringe-inducer Elon Musk commented on the progression of Season 7, claiming that it “seems about right”. Totally unrelated, Musk recently admitted to paying other people to play Diablo 4 and Path of Exile 2 for him. Hopefully, those players also comment on the game’s balance.
Nevertheless, it seems Diablo 4 is finally in a decent place. While the game launched with a classic feel, recent seasons have opted to speed through progression for instant gratification. Thankfully, it seems the game is slowly shifting back to a more Diablo 2-like feel.
