World Tier 4 is currently the highest difficulty level at which you can play Diablo 4. A player who has been playing since launch sees it for the first time – and wants to leave right away. The whole S-Tier builds there suck the joy out of him, he says.
What is the deal with the difficulties?
- In Diablo 4 there are World Tiers 1-4, which determine how hard the content is and what you can actually play. You unlock them through special dungeons.
- Some content and rewards are only available at higher levels. The best items, for example, are only available starting from World Tier 4.
- Accordingly, the grind for the best items in the open world only takes place at World Tier 4. One player finds that too much.
This is the player’s problem: User FallenShadeslayer complains on Reddit that World Tier 4 is not fun. However, this is not because it is too difficult there. It is due to the other players.
FallenShadeslayer says he has been playing since release but has only played in World Tier 3 so far – then he always got bored. Now he was for the first time in World Tier 4 and the experience was terrible:
The builds just destroy everything in sight. It looks like every player I encounter is playing the exact same build or a variation of it. There is no challenge for me anymore because they kill everything within a nanosecond after spawning.
In World Tier 3 he still had fun, although nothing offered him a challenge. He could go back there, but would like to continue doing World Tier 4 content: “That’s frustrating because I lost all joy right after absolute joy.”
The community gives the user hundreds of responses and explains that such a thing is logical: Especially the Blood Brides in the Hell Floods are full of people,because you can farm and level particularly well here. Players advise him to wait until Season 6, as everything will look completely different then.
Season 6 changes how difficulties work
A user advises FallenShadeslayer to put the game down until Season 6 starts. Because then the difficulties will be completely overhauled. Instead of World Tiers 1 to 4, there will be difficulty levels from Normal to Torment 4.
Since especially Torment 1-4 can only be unlocked through a certain level in the Pit, it is likely that the whole S-Tier builds will not play with the “casuals” at the same difficulty.
Others caution: If the thread creator continues to play, he might become “part of the problem” himself if he becomes similarly strong. However, it may help to disable cross-platform play. This generally reduces the number of players in the area. Otherwise, he should focus more on solo content like dungeons, hordes, and the pit.
Season 6 starts along with the first expansion Vessel of Hatred on October 8 and also brings a rework of the level system along with the overhaul of the difficulty levels. You can find all information about the new season in our overview: Diablo 4 Season 6: Start, changes, and new skills
