With Season 14, Diablo 4 is receiving quite a bit of criticism. The patch on July 14 is supposed to address the areas of greatest dissatisfaction: the new Mythic system and the blood currency chambers.
Blizzard has revamped the mythic items with Season 14 and turned them into a new item category. The problem here: Instead of guaranteed items with good stats, items like the Harlequin’s Crown (now called “Iconic Mythic”) have random values.
The new system has led to much frustration and criticism of the mythic items and not just because Mythics are now generally worse, but also harder to obtain. Players say that casuals will never see even a single Mythic, let alone a useful one.
Today, on July 14, a patch is supposed to provide some relief with various changes, including:
- guaranteed superior hideout keys from blood currency chambers
- reduction of required fragments of madness for crafting Mythics in the Horadric Cube from 5 to 4
- guaranteed fragments of madness from hope glimmers
- increased chance of fragments from the Corrupted Soul Harvester
You can find the full patch notes on page 2.
While it should become easier to obtain mythic items, players believe that the core problem remains unaddressed.
“Prepare to be disappointed”
In various threads on Reddit, players are discussing the changes. The actual issue is not necessarily how difficult it is to obtain mythic items, but rather that:
- crafted Mythics can only be equipped once, so you can only wear one
- and crafting is essentially a gamble because the stats are random.
Some players are already collecting chests to open them with the patch and hope for better loot. Cynical users warn directly: “Prepare to be disappointed.” (on Reddit)

With the previous Season 13 and the release of Lord of Hatred, Blizzard achieved a great victory and delighted many players. This enthusiasm is now abruptly fading in Season 14, leaving disappointment in many areas, with some users even assigning numerical values: Players calculate what the problem with Diablo 4 is right now – “Mathematically speaking, we should suffer this season”
