SPIRU HARET

Things get even murkier for console users. Another player pointed out that controller layouts can dynamically shift during the redemption process. For example, pressing the left face button initially selects “Claim,” but in the next menu, the same button triggers a Platinum purchase instead. The option to redeem with tokens is moved to another button, increasing the likelihood of making a costly mistake. GameSpot later verified this UI quirk, calling it “confusing at best and misleading at worst.”

This brings us to the pricing structure-another sticking point. Blizzard offers three premium Reliquaries for 500 Platinum each. Alternatively, players can grab all three for 1,500 Platinum. However, there’s also a separate “Battle Pass Bundle” (a holdover term from the old system) that grants all three for just 1,000 Platinum. It’s clearly the best deal, but there’s a catch: if a player buys even one Reliquary before discovering the bundle, they’re locked out of the discount. That forces them to spend the full 1,500 Platinum, effectively punishing those who don’t navigate the system perfectly on their first try.

This sense of punishing design is only reinforced by the Deluxe Bundle offering. Priced at 2,800 Platinum-nearly three times the cost of the standard bundle-the Deluxe version promises exclusive content. But in reality, the only additions are a pet and a wing cosmetic. The core armor set is the same one found in the cheaper bundle. Players are essentially paying an extra $20 for two purely aesthetic items, and many don’t feel it’s worth the price.

Community feedback has been so vocal that Blizzard was forced to respond publicly. During a recent Campfire Chat, developers acknowledged the wave of negative reactions. They promised improvements but admitted that no changes will be implemented until at least Season 10. Adam Fletcher, Diablo’s director of social and content marketing, followed up on Reddit, saying the goal was to “offer something for everyone,” and that future collaborations would present “more balanced value.”
