I have to admitā¦ āpuzzlesā are something I have ZERO interest in, within an ARPG. I am willing to reserve judgement until I try this stuff out butā¦ yeah. I hear you. Kind of reminds me of a season or so ago where they thought adding tons of traps to dungeons would be fun.
From what I have seen though, āpuzzlesā might just mean you need a group member to stand somewhere. I really donāt know. Guess Iāll find out!

You know thereās already puzzles in the game, right?
Most people ignore them, since they are in the cellars, and the rewards for solving them are pretty terrible. Thereās 3 different ones, I believe. Hereās a screenshot of one.
Oh, then thereās the mutterlock chests. But those are exceptionally rare.
Do note: that is a screenshot of a current, IN-GAME (AS IN RIGHT NOW) PUZZLE. It has NO BEARING ON VOH!
Iāve never seen that before (though I donāt go in cellars Anywayā¦ LOL).
OH I ran across a Mutter chest a few days agoā¦ had no idea what to do ā¦ Luckily I was in a group and I was told what to do ā¦
But anyway, Iām willing to give this a Chance before casting judgement. VoH hasnāt even come out yet and the complaining just keeps comingā¦

I mean they can add prostate examination if it is optional in some basement with 0 rewards.
It is whole different story if it will be part of new content and it is necessary.

I had kind of forgotten. For instance, I havenāt done the thing where you stand at a statue and do an emote since pre-seasons. Itās all just a hard NO from me in an ARPG.
CERTAINLY forgot about Cellar puzzles. Canāt even recall when I last DID a cellar!

Speaking of, do you know what the Spirit does as it follows you when you Emote at a statue?
Nobody knowsā¦
oh yes, lets solve sudoku in diablo 4.
You have to press the runes in the correct order according to the big rune sign.
Press the wrong one, and they all blow up - which usually instakills you.
Thereās another where thereās a set of 9 runes like this layout, but 3 of the runes match. You have to press the 3 matching runes without stepping on any of the incorrect ones. Thereās no guide to tell you this. Again, stepping on an incorrect one blows them all up and resets the puzzle (often killing you). You have to do that THREE TIMES to complete the puzzle. Oh - and failing on #2 or #3 resets the puzzle back to #1.
I forget what the 3rd one is. I seem to recall another rune sign, and you have to step on the rune thatās missing on the sign.
But yeah; they are 100% skip. Nobody liked them. You can probably find early threads from S0 and S1 when players complained endlessly about them and not being about to get their small reward chest. Seemsā¦ so quaint!

Supposedly it influences Magic Find. You get so many kills with it out, and then it ramps up Magic Find to where you actually start getting items to drop. But of course, that was all early S0/S1 theory when items were actually scarce, nobody actually confirmed (because we canāt see the code), and the entire Magic Find Spirit Animal may have had the Magic Find removed at some point anyways.
So yeah - nobody knows.
For your amusement.
āYou have diedā
ENJOY! 
I donāt mind them adding content like that given that itās one thing to do out of several, but itās not exactly what comes to mind when I think of an iso-ARPG. 
if thatās true, imagine that in hardcore

Iāve done a mutterlock chest once but I never knew about this cellar puzzle!
Ohhhhā¦ now Iām gonna have to go into cellars again.
it will be stupid things like split the group up and 4 people have stand and do an emote simultaneously at diff statues or the door canāt open. etcā¦
They already have puzzle Cellars. You have to be āluckyā to find one but once you do there is a puzzle to be solved. Soā¦ now they expanded that idea into the Expansion on a much larger scale.
