Diablo 4 Dev Comments on Aberrant Cinder Drop Rate Change

Diablo 4's Metacritic page has now been flooded with over 100 more negative user reviews from fans who are not happy about the Diablo 4 Items changes made in the latest update. For the uninitiated, Blizzard recently released a new update for Diablo 4 that effectively nerfed all the classes across the board and made a variety of other changes that have not sat well with fans. The backlash to the Diablo 4 update has been so severe that Blizzard has announced plans to host a special Campfire Chat to address concerns this coming Friday, July 21.

The ongoing review bombing effort has seen Diablo 4's user score drop to 4.0. The PC version of the game has over 2,000 negative user reviews at the time of this writing, versus just 980 positive reviews and 265 mixed reviews. These numbers change with almost every refresh of the page, so it's unlikely that the current Diablo 4 review bombing effort is over yet. In fact, with Diablo 4 Season 4 not starting until July 20, it seems likely that the review bombing effort will continue for at least a couple more days.

It remains to be seen how exactly Blizzard will react to the severe backlash that this latest Diablo 4 update has experienced. Some fans have called on the company to completely reverse all the changes made in the patch, but they shouldn't hold their breath for that to happen. Diablo 4 fans will want to tune in to the Campfire Chat on Friday, July 21 to learn more about Blizzard's plans for the game moving forward.

Blizzard's Senior Vice President Rod Fergusson replies to a Diablo 4 fan regarding the currently low drop rates for Aberrant Cinders, confirming that it wasn't intentional. It's a big week for players as Diablo 4 Season 4 finally begins on July 20, bringing with it a new quest line to follow regarding a new mechanic of Malignant Hearts. Acting as a sort of gem, players can add these into their three slot armor or weapons which provides bonuses on a similar level to Legendary-type gear.

To prepare for the upcoming season, Blizzard released a massive update for Diablo 4 which has an impact on just about every aspect of the game. From adjustments to core gameplay elements and class balancing, the huge update also made a number of tweaks to boss characters like the fearsome Butcher. As Blizzard has found that players are easily besting monsters that are even higher level than their own, the balance has gotten a little out of hand in their opinion, resulting in an increase to HP scaling when in co-op to offer more of a challenge.

Unfortunately, it seems like the update also made a few unintended changes, especially to valuable resources like Aberrant Cinders.
