Diablo 4’s Aberrant Cinder Drop Rates After Mid Season Patch Are So High That Players Feel It Might Be Patched Soon

Diablo 4’s Aberrant Cinders’ drop rates have increased a lot after the recent updates. These in-game currencies are rewards given to players after completing quests, defeating enemies, and opening chests in Helltide zones.

However, the increasing amount of cinders currently available is a lot, which some players feel might hinder the experience of farming in the game by reducing the work-to-reward ratio in the long run. There is a high chance that it might get nerfed in the upcoming patch.

Cinders are usually spent to unlock valuable items and rewards, such as loot cases, which are filled with a lot of rare and unique items. Players spend hours farming for this in-game currency so that they gather enough to unlock various things.

However, after the mid-season patch update, there seems to have been an increase in the drop rate of cinders, which most fans are not big fans of. The update has enabled players to gather more cinders in less time, which eventually leads to faster and much easier acquisition of rewards.

There is a high chance that this affects the balance of the game by making it way too easy for players. They might lose interest after a point since there will be no challenge left for them to beat. Players have recently reported feeling a reduced sense of achievement for obtaining awards, which might not be the best news for the future of the game.

Developers of live-service games are often vigilant about the opinions of their player base. It is necessary to stay in touch for the betterment of the game. There is a high chance that the drop rates might be adjusted in the future if the developer feels like it might impact the game’s long-term balance.

Obtaining Rewards Was Way More Difficult Before Mid-Season Patch

Diablo 4 players have pointed out that farming in the Helltides events was way more challenging before. There is a high chance that this change might be intentional from the developer’s end to test out a new way. There are some players who are happy about this update since they are getting more rewards for less work.

However, this might not be great for maintaining the long-term balance of the game. Things cannot become too easy for the players, or they will begin to lose interest in the game.

Helltide events should be nerfed back to the way they were before. The limited period on top of a challenging task to acquire cinders will create more drama and will always keep the player on the edge of their seat.
