It is widely acknowledged that Diablo 4 Season 4 is the best season of the game so far. This is because Loot Reborn Season adds a lot of important changes that are crucial to the development of the game and makes it more fun than ever.
As you can imagine, if Season 5 wants to continue the success of Season 4, the developers must not be satisfied with the status quo and actively listen to player feedback.
For now, I have no doubt that Diablo 4 Season 5 has the potential to be a great work, as long as it does not repeat the mistakes of previous seasons.
At the same time, I am also thinking about what changes or additions need to be made in Season 5 to make a big difference and bring back the previously lost player base. In this guide, we will discuss what needs to be improved to revive Diablo 4 Season 5. Without further ado, let’s get started!
Increased Drop Rates For Gear With Greater Affixes
First and foremost, one thing that Diablo 4 Season 5 could improve is the way to get gear with Greater Affixes. While the new Helltides in the new season are a welcome way to grind content and get better Diablo 4 items, the better way to play is to find a Helltide where people team up to fight Blood Maiden Boss.
Do this repeatedly throughout Helltide event. You’ll pile up a lot of gear, crafting materials, and make a lot of money.
If you only loot Blood Maiden once per Helltide, you’ll most likely get nothing. However, just running around in circles to get XP is very tedious and boring, but it’s really efficient.
But if you have a good chance of getting gear with Greater Affixes dropped from Helltide Chests, you may eventually be able to average out without having to do many boring, repetitive runs. That’s pretty exciting!
Adding New Challenges To Helltide
Also, Helltide could be iterated on further in Diablo 4 Season 5. One thing I would like to see is some added variety, perhaps generating portals to Hell that give players small dungeons or cellar-type areas they can explore.
They could also add some extra quests or challenges there for bigger rewards. There are all sorts of ways to improve Helltide.
Currently, they just send you into these demon-filled areas with quest objectives. They all feel the same, but it’s undeniably fun to beat up a bunch of bad guys. I hope that in the new season, we’ll see changes and improvements in this system.
Improve Crafting Sigils
As a Diablo 4 player, I often see some arguments about Crafting Sigils. Of course, I personally have some ideas for improvements to this.
I would like to be able to choose which Nightmare Dungeon I want to craft Sigils for, or be able to hide or blacklist some dungeons. It’s not a major change, but it would be nice to have a clearer idea of what you’re doing.
I think the affixes of Nightmare Dungeon should remain chaotic, but I would like to see more autonomy in timing, especially in some of the harder Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 5. Beyond that, it would be nice if Sigil Powder was a little more common.
Add Group Finder
Another thing worth keeping an eye on is that since many players don’t have a regular group of friends around them anymore, it would be great if there was a Group Finder or Matchmaking system for Pit of Artificers, Nightmare Dungeons, and other high-end late-game content. This would also allow us to get Uber Bosses a little faster.
Some players will worry that people will take advantage of this and use it to sell runs and the like, but that’s inevitable since this is an online game.
That said, I would really like some kind of party system, especially for the harder content offered in Season 5, which is undoubtedly something that most players have been asking for.
Optimize Solo Self-Found Mode
Do you think Hardcore might be too easy? Or do you want to win the ultimate victory completely on your own? No shops, no trading, no items dropped by friends? Solo Self-Found Mode might be what you’re looking for.
Since most players can currently complete the game without help, Season 5 will have to go a step further if it wants to make the experience better. It might not have shared resources or materials, and the same goes for your stash.
You can still interact with people in the world, and you can still get honor for kills together, but they can’t help you get gear. However, perhaps to fix this, maybe they have a better chance of getting loot drops? I don’t quite know how it would work, but I think the developers could figure out a way to make Solo Self-Found Mode in the new season both challenging and fun.
Regardless, Diablo 4 Season 5 still has a long way to go before it officially goes live. Currently, the developers plan it to start on August 6, 2024, when Season 4 Loot Reborn will end. It may be a shorter season, though, unless it coincides with the release of the upcoming expansion, Vessel of Hatred.
In conclusion, what do you think of this wishlist? Are there any other areas that you think Season 5 should improve upon? Let’s wait and see!
