Diablo 4 players are requesting stronger enemies and increased mob density in the Midwinter Blight event, as they find the combat less challenging compared to other areas of the game. Players feel that the current density is lacking and want it to be similar to the Blood Tide event. While some players believe that Blizzard may address this issue with a patch, others think it's unlikely due to the event's limited-time nature.
Players of Diablo 4 have criticized the loot rewards in the Midwinter Blight holiday event, calling them "forgettable" and "pointless." Many players expressed dissatisfaction with the loot obtained by trading Blighted Fragments, stating that it was underwhelming compared to endgame gear. Some players also found the event to be boring and repetitive. While players hope for a patch to address the issue, it is unlikely to happen as the event is time-limited.
Blizzard is introducing 14 new cosmetics that can be earned through the Midwinter Blight event in Diablo 4, running from December 12 to January 2. Players can obtain backpieces, a mount trophy, and weapon skins by farming different currencies from enemies in the Blighted zone. The event offers a rare opportunity to earn cosmetics without purchasing them, although it may require a significant amount of grinding.
Diablo 4 developers have denied rumors of introducing pay-to-play mechanics like purchasing stash tabs, stating that having enough space is considered basic functionality and not something they want players to pay for. They also discussed upcoming updates, including the release of Abattoir of Zir, an end-game dungeon event, and the game's first holiday event, Midwinter Blight. The developers acknowledged the need for itemization changes to simplify and improve the process of finding meaningful upgrades and customizing builds, with plans to introduce significant changes in Season 4. Helltides will now be an hourly event, addressing player feedback about struggling to obtain essential crafting materials.
In a recent Campfire Chat, the developers of the game detailed the upcoming endgame dungeon, Abbatoir of Zir, set to arrive on December 5. They also showcased the frozen lands of the Fractured Peaks, now infested with Frigid Husks and Blightfiends. Additionally, they announced future itemization changes and answered player questions in a Q&A session.
