The new reliquary system feels flawed. Here are my observations:
The design is much worse than the previous Battle Pass. The entire reliquary navigation is poorly designed and annoying. Pop-ups with the new coin are crazy, and it’s slow to purchase any cosmetics.
To players like me, who always buy the battle pass, we feel a lack of respect for loyalty, the movement of putting the wings in the premium is a mockery, premium should have a new complete armor with wings, not separating the pieces and you feel incomplete, super greedy decision and horrible.
Only 200 platinum comeback feels like a scam, I could understand less cosmetics but this is ridiculous.
The whole system doesn’t feel exciting or rewarding enough, it’s like the only thing that changed is how it looks but everything about it is worse
Much less rewards with no much incentive for farming,
I don’t feel like a race like before, where you were trying to get a certain cosmetic at a certain level of the battle pass. Before, it was simple and easy to understand and more rewarding, not like now where everything feels wrong.
It is the perfect marketing move—like when your favorite sweets carry a “New recipe” label. You know you’re doomed: the ingredients got cheaper and taste worse. In a marketing stunt, Bli$$zard is trying to convince people that the old battle pass is no longer cool.
What happened?
Basically, if I find something I like the new poor-man’s owl in brown, I have to pay 500 Platinum (about $5) to unlock it. BUT NO: carefully crafted by Bli$$zard, I then have to pay for other tiers. So I’d better get the basic battle pass to unlock all that lizard-looking gear. But only if you’re cool and pay $28 upfront to get the fancy owl that looks a bit too shiny—whatever, better be eye-catching.
Failure? Your and my perspective are the same… However, have you seen the wings and pets in the game already? Clearly some are forking over $25 for top battle pass.
When I refer to a failure, it’s not about whether people will pay for it or not. I’m referring to the terrible design and interface, the diminished rewards, and the fact that it doesn’t feel more exciting. In every aspect, it’s much worse; it’s more horrible in absolutely every way.
Grinding through multiple levels of crap that aren’t worth the time it took to make just so you can get to the ‘good’ stuff later in the pass was honestly bad design. It was especially noticeable in Season 6 because while the cosmetics were decent(ish), the season mechanic and season journey grind were horrible, so the grind felt far worse. But if you bought the battle pass, you felt obligated to force yourself through it so you can get your money’s worth.
You don’t ‘have’ to pay for anything you don’t want. Which is the entire point. If you look through all the reliquaries and you only want the owl pet from the Beasts reliquary along with the Mendax mount and armour, then you only have to spend 500 platinum for the Beasts reliquary and you’re done.
I keed. But also no keed… “always buy the battle pass” is what birthed this screwy scam. Not you, but your collective. You did it together - it was a team effort.
Brought mobile gacha culture to PC Diablo. A new era, consummated.
(Immortal on PC doesn’t count, it was a last-minute bad port, and probably only 5 people played it.)
