In Diablo 4, everything wants to kill you. However, players are generally safe as long as they don’t roam in the “Fields of Hatred.” On Reddit, fans remind us that some players can be nasty trolls.
Ah, some players are so friendly in the action RPG Diablo 4: helping with the sometimes unclear emote quests, supporting in nightmare dungeons, or giving tips for the rampaging world bosses.
But if we’re honest: behind every “nice” player, there can be a troll.
One of the biggest threads on Reddit this weekend reminds us of that. Be careful when you receive a group invitation. If you play a hardcore character, it could be the last thing you experience with that character.
On July 20, Season 1 of Diablo 4 begins. Here you can find the gameplay trailer:
Trolls want to kill you
What trick is it about? User “Clear-Document-5598” titled on Reddit: “Warning for hardcore players playing the Hell Tide” and gathered almost 5,000 upvotes over the weekend. Additionally, there were nearly 1,000 comments.
The warning is quite simple: Be cautious about who invites you, don’t just travel to strangers. The thread creator shares their experiences.
They were playing their hardcore Necromancer in a Hell Tide on world tier 3 and received an invitation from a player at level 100: “Come to me, chest and boss here.”
Oh, how nice – one might think at first and then travel to the accommodating player. However, Clear-Document-5598 was skeptical and first checked where the other player was located. They were waiting in the Fields of Hatred, the PvP areas in Diablo 4.
If Clear-Document-5598 had traveled there, they could have lost their hardcore Necromancer. There would have likely been more trolls waiting to take out their character.
Players learn life lessons
What do players say about it? The warning is well-received and sparks some discussion in the Reddit thread. Some talk about their experiences from Diablo 2, where trolling was also popular.
Players also share when they learned in their gaming careers that they shouldn’t trust strangers. Or that it’s best to trust no one when an offer sounds too good to be true.
DeKrazyK writes, “I was never scammed in real life because I learned my lessons in Runescape. I was 10 back then.”
Indeed, some players confess here that they were scammed as noobs in Runescape. So too “bamboojungles”: “I lost a rune shield and a leg guard back in OG Runescape. My heart was broken for months.”
User “nanosam” summarizes the tips from the thread for all Diablo players: “In hardcore mode, you have to assume the worst intentions every time. […] Trust no one in hardcore mode.”
By the way, the colleagues at GamePro write about why one falls asleep so quickly in the ARPG: Diablo 4 makes thousands of fans fall asleep and they don’t know why – the game cleverly tricks their brains
It can also be worthwhile for you to play the Hell Tide on world tier 3 – especially in hardcore mode. If you switch your earned embers to world tier 4, you can also redeem the strong 175 chests here.
