Players of Diablo 4 regularly express their wishes or criticize content. While a new season is approaching, the developers at Blizzard announce that it may take a while before player feedback is actually implemented in Diablo.
Since the release of Diablo 4, feedback from players has been coming in regularly, both positive and negative. The developer team engaged with the community in Season 1 during a campfire chat, after receiving quite negative feedback.
The developers also responded to feedback and adjusted endgame content in Season 2 that was simply too difficult for many. In almost every campfire livestream, the developers express that they appreciate feedback. In an interview with MeinMMO, they noted: The community is the most valuable asset.
In an interview with GamesRadar+, the developers explain that Season 3 is coming to Diablo 4 and that no further content from Season 2 can be incorporated. Nevertheless, they emphasize that feedback from the community will be taken into account in future content.
The feedback should lead to “exciting things” in Diablo 4
What do the developers say about the feedback? According to GamesRadar+, the developers of Diablo 4 have incorporated some of the feedback expressed during Season 2 into Season 3. However, they stress that it is not possible to include everything, especially since the new season is already “through the door.”
Nevertheless, the developers plan to consider the feedback from Season 2 for future developments.
We have indeed made a number of changes in Season 3 based on things we saw in Season 2, but there are limits. At some point, it’s: ‘We need to build this into Season 4 now. Or, if it’s really big, maybe even in Season 5.
– Timothy Ismay, senior game producer, GamesRadar+
The developers have already made extensive adjustments based on feedback from Season 2. One concrete example is the significant reduction in the time window between hell floods in Diablo 4. Another feature that is set to come with Season 3 is the WASD controls for PC players.
What is expected to improve over months? “And even if you don’t see it this season, that doesn’t mean we’re not working on it,” Ismay tells GamesRadar+. The team is still reviewing the feedback they received in Season 2.
“There are some exciting things that will emerge in Season 4 that are influenced by what players expressed in Season 2,” Ismay notes.
Season 3 in Diablo 4 is basically already around the corner and starts in less than a week – on January 23. So you have a few days left to take care of the remaining tasks and secure any outstanding rewards.
