Diablo 4 players have taken to social media to express their delight at the refreshed leveling experience that arrived with the second season of the action RPG.
The game itself has been through a difficult time since launch. Criticism of a lack of differentiation between the world tiers and an uninspired experience post-level 70 combined to leave the future open to significant questions.
There was never any doubt that Blizzard would stick with Diablo 4, just as they did when the previous entry in the series suffered similar woes initially. The Reaper of Souls edition proved to be a real landmark for the third game, and Diablo 4 could be a similar path in the new landscape it has created in Season 2.
One huge aspect of this is the leveling experience, which players have started to pick out as the forefront of the charge towards a better game.
Leveling in Season 2 is vastly different from previous periods in Diablo 4
In a post on Reddit, a self-described “semi-casual” gamer highlighted new abilities and less grinding overall, saying: “This season, I just hit 74 and was hardly paying attention. So much better leveling and the vampire abilities are so much fun! Vampiric curse FTW! Probably won’t get to 100, but I am having a way better time this season. Probably doesn’t hurt I went frost mage lol.”

Others were quick to echo those thoughts, with one adding: “I hit World Tier 3 at 50 and actually feel strangely overpowered for not having geared up at all for any build. It’s a breath of fresh air, honestly”
Another highlighted further new features and dungeon improvements that have worked well while offering some tips on other areas the developer should prioritize moving forward: “Leveling is great. The blood harvest zone is fantastic. The bounty board makes me want to just walk around BH zones and never stop. And the fact that you get whispers, which give you infinite gold. Fantastic season update. If they can update loot in season 3, I feel like we’ll have a complete experience.”
Finally, there seems to be plenty of positivity flowing through the Diablo 4 community. If the developer can consider this latest round of feedback, the future looks very bright.
