Season 4 brought numerous changes to Diablo 4: The hell tides have also been revamped. Mobs spawn everywhere, and huge worms spit out enemies. It’s quite chaotic – and the players love it.
On May 14, Season 4 launched in Diablo 4 and really turned the game around. The loot system has been fundamentally revised, loot drops are clearer, and there are now fewer, but better affixes. There are two new crafting systems that allow you to customize the items to your builds.
The hell tides have also been revised. They are now available not just at world tier 3 and 4, but already from world tier 1.
How is the hell tide received now? Even on the PTR (Public Test Realm), the “new” hell tide excited numerous players. Here, the monsters no longer wait somewhere for players to be slaughtered, but “hell wants to hunt and kill you.” And shortly after the release of Season 4, the community praises the hell tide.
Community feeling in complete chaos
What do players love about the hell tide? On Reddit, the user “SirAelic” wrote on May 15 in his post that the new hell tide boss is fantastic. It never gets boring to place three corruption hearts into the sockets, summon him with it, and see “dozens of players sprinting in for a boss fight.”
The approach of performing a ritual to summon mobs is reminiscent of the blood harvest in Season 2 of Diablo 4.
“SirAelic” describes his experience in the hell tide in the Reddit post:
It was even better when I was just at world tier 3 and we were all level 35-40 and could barely kill [the boss]. There were definitely 15 or 20 players who kept rushing at him and dying constantly. It was so much fun, I’ve never felt such a sense of community in a Diablo game before. I can’t wait to play again tomorrow!
In another post on Reddit, the user “Edupastore” wrote on May 15 that the hell tides are “complete chaos and slaughterhouse. And I like it, very much.”
In a comment, “TheTeeje” noted on Reddit: “When you have 10 people fighting the big boss, and everyone starts maximizing their threat, and hellborn spawn, it really gets crazy. I’ve had 10-minute fights in the boss area because they wouldn’t stop spawning. […] It’s a beautiful chaos.”
Other users write in the comments that they are currently having a “damn good time” in Diablo 4, the hell tides are “absolutely phenomenal” and it’s great that there are hell tides now also at world levels 1 and 2.
In the hell tides, you can level up the easiest and fastest from level 1, as the monster density there is simply higher than in the open world. There is also the new seasonal elixir “Desecrated Mind Cage” that increases the level of hell tide monsters by 10. We have summarized more leveling tips in our guide.
