Diablo 4's Lunar Awakening event for Chinese New Year is receiving criticism for being too short, offering limited rewards, and requiring players to create new characters to claim certain items. However, the event does offer a set of Lunar markings and a horse as prizes, which are considered to be some of the best player cosmetics offered for free in the game.
Diablo 4's upcoming Lunar Awakening event, starting on February 6, will offer significant bonuses including Lunar Shrines with XP gain and movement speed buffs, as well as new dungeon affixes. Players can earn six different cosmetic rewards by collecting Ancestor’s Favor throughout the event, and there will be paid armor sets themed for the event in the cash shop. This event is part of Diablo 4's strategy to maintain player engagement and introduce new items in the store.
The limited-time Lunar Awakening event in Diablo IV brings a mysterious phenomenon to the shrines of Sanctuary, offering players 50% bonus XP, increased movement speed, and various buffs while earning Ancestors Favor reputation. By identifying and activating Lunar Shrines, players can earn reputation and unlock Lunar-themed rewards at the Lunar Night Market. The event also introduces Lunar Shrine effects, themed Whisper bounties, and Lunar garments to celebrate the joyous occasion.
