With Season 14, Diablo 4 is currently facing quite a lot of criticism. The patch on July 14 is set to address the areas of greatest dissatisfaction: the new Mythic system and the Blood Tide Chambers.
Blizzard has revamped the mythical items with Season 14 and turned them into a new item category. The problem here is that instead of guaranteed items with good stats, items like the Harlequin’s Crown (now called “Iconic Mythic”) have random stats.
The new system has led to much frustration and criticism of the mythical items not only because Mythics are now generally worse, but also harder to obtain. Among players, it is said that casuals will never even see a 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 Tide Chambers
- reduction of required Madness fragments for crafting Mythics in the Horadric Cube from 5 to 4
- guaranteed Madness fragments from Hope Sparks
- increased chance of fragments from the Corrupted Soul Harvester
You can find the complete patch notes on page 2.
While this should make it easier to obtain mythical items, players claim that the core problem still remains unaddressed.
“Prepare to be disappointed”
In various threads on Reddit, players are discussing the changes. The real problem is not necessarily that it is so difficult to obtain mythical items, but particularly that:
- crafted Mythics can only be equipped once, so you can only wear one
- and “crafting” is actually a game of chance, because the stats are random.
Some players are already gathering boxes to open them with the patch and hope for better loot. Cynical users directly warn: “Prepare to be disappointed.” (on Reddit)

With the previous Season 13 and the release of Lord of Hatred, Blizzard achieved a major victory and thrilled many players. This enthusiasm is now abruptly waning in Season 14, leaving disappointment in many places, some users even attributing numerical values to it: Players calculate what the current problem is with Diablo 4 – ‘Mathematically, we are supposed to suffer this season’
