Diablo 4 Lore Book Teases Where Expansions Could Take Place

One specific encounter Diablo IV Gold continues to give Diablo 4 players headaches, however. The encounter involves multiple adventurers that ask the player to protect them amidst waves of attacking enemies. The encounter can have different enemies, but oftentimes the NPCs frequently die and deny players a Mastery bonus. Sometimes they die from seemingly random spikes of damage, and sometimes they die because there's no real way to protect them. Regardless, it seems many Diablo 4 players find the encounter annoying.

A popular post on Reddit captures the issue in a meme. The top text on the meme reads "Keep one adventurer alive," referencing the goal for mastering the encounter. The bottom text reads, "Aaaand they're gone," since they die so quickly. A second Reddit posts on the subject details a player's frustrations in more detail. They say the encounter is a joke, that the adventurers die to AOEs or poison, and have no visible health bar.

The issue obviously isn't pressing. Diablo 4 players responding to these Reddit posts acknowledge that it's silly how difficult it is to keep these NPCs alive, but also recognize the rewards aren't particularly special anyway. Many players say the encounter is still good because of all the enemies it spawns, which can make up for the loot lost by letting the adventurers die.

Giving the adventurers more health or resistance would seemingly be an easy solution to the problem. Perhaps Blizzard likes that one of its Diablo 4 encounters has a higher failure rate than the others, though. Most other encounters are quite easy, after all. Perhaps Blizzard will note the feedback and buff the NPCs in a future update, but that's just speculation at this time.

Diablo 4 has various ways for players to customize their character. From the start of the game, players are first left to create the character that they will use for the rest of the game; after some exploration, players will then begin to find new pieces of armor to equip.

Although all classes share the same names of armor, they all appear differently on the character. Barbarians may appear as if they don't wear much attire, as seen from the character customization screen; however, this lethal class still has plenty of brilliant armor options for gamers to choose from.

Surprisingly, a brilliant style of armor that can be found early into the game that many players are likely to enjoy is the Weathered look for their Barbarian. While the original colors may not be something players favor, this can easily be changed by selecting a different pigment.

Unlike many of the other helmets in Diablo 4, this fluffy hat that makes the player look like a Yak doesn't cover the entirety of the player's face; allowing some of the previous customization to  cheap Diablo IV Items peek through. Besides this, the Weathered armor is a great starting set to also mix and match gear from in the case of not wanting to wear the entire set.
