Diablo 3 players' season progress has been reset thanks to misunderstanding

Diablo 3 players recently faced unexpected season termination on both Korean and European servers due to an internal communication "misunderstanding" at Blizzard. This premature ending resulted in lost progress and reset stashes for affected players, sparking considerable frustration within the community. The situation contrasts sharply with the recent positive reception of Diablo 4, which has seen the release of several free incentives for players, including character boosts and a free level 50 character with access to all Lilith's Altars. Blizzard attributes these Diablo 4 gifts to providing a fresh start for returning players following recent game updates. These updates significantly altered Diablo 4's meta, rendering many early builds and items obsolete. This situation highlights a disparity in the treatment of the two Diablo titles, with Diablo 4 receiving significant support and Diablo 3 experiencing a major setback. The incident also underscores ongoing challenges Blizzard faces in maintaining consistent service quality across its game portfolio.
