What excites Season 4? In his post from May 14, user “No_Hat_8401” on Reddit announces his excitement about Season 4. And numerous users are collecting in the comments what they find so good about the changes and new features.
The revamped Hell Tides are particularly well received. They are now significantly harder, but also significantly more rewarding. “-Kritias-” praises on Reddit, saying they are “packed with so many enemies.” In the replies, several users mention they even like the “surprising giant worms.” Some are reminded of the worm from the movie “Dune.” One user writes on Reddit: “Diablo 4: Season 4: DUNE.”
The user “RSwolf9” notes in the comment on Reddit: “I feel the same way. Imagine if Diablo 4 had already been like this at release.” And “Darksteel6” writes on Reddit: “The Hell Tides are incredibly good. Huge ‘Quality of Life’ improvements with the aspects and even the herbs that now drop in bundles.”
One user notes in the comment on Reddit that the early endgame is no longer a tedious chore, it is really a lot of fun. The game rewards players for slashing many mobs, which is “great.”
Even on Twitch, the improvements that Season 4 brings to Diablo 4 are a topic. When asked why this season feels so good, Diablo expert Raxxanterax answers in his livestream on Twitch:
The item changes and the monster density in the Hell Tides are so much more fun. The items you pick up are really good. You only have to go to town occasionally. This means you are actually playing the damn game. This is the first season where I feel like I am spending almost all of my time actually playing the damn game.

Season 4 fundamentally overhauls the game. The biggest and most important change takes place in the loot system: There are now fewer, but better affixes, and you can customize items through crafting.
