Summary

  • Infernal Compasses can overload potion tabs, sparking player frustration and a call for a stacking feature in Diablo 4 Season 5.
  • The unstackable item leads to inventory clutter, with players urging Blizzard for a better solution in the latest update.
  • Players hope Blizzard will address the issue, balancing exploration and combat with a more manageable inventory in Season 5.

Several Diablo 4 players are calling on Blizzard to make Infernal Compasses stackable, as the current system is overwhelming their potion tabs and creating inventory management headaches. As Diablo 4 players dive into Season 5, this new issue has many voicing their frustrations on social media.

Diablo 4 is an action role-playing game developed by Blizzard Entertainment, released in June 2023 as the fourth main installment in the Diablo series. Initially praised for its dark story and fluid combat, the game also faced criticism for its live service elements and grind-heavy progression. Since its release, Diablo 4 has undergone significant changes with each update. While Blizzard has made continuous improvements to address player concerns, a new item introduced in the latest update has sparked frustration among fans.

The introduction of Infernal Compasses in Diablo 4 Season 5, a crucial item for accessing the new Infernal Hordes event, has led to a significant complaint from the community. The discussion began when a Reddit user known as coojw expressed their frustration with the large number of compasses filling up their inventory. They explained that they had been forced to delete over 50 of these items as the only solution to free up space in their inventory. Their plea quickly resonated with fellow players, who asked Blizzard to either allow compasses to stack or provide more storage space for them.

Diablo 4 Players' Petition for Stackable Compasses

The community echoed this sentiment, with many questioning the game design behind unstackable compasses. Some players pointed out that it doesn’t make sense for compasses of the same tier not to stack, while others criticized the inconsistency in stackable items within the game. One player suggested that the different modifiers on the compasses might be the reason for this design choice, but others argued that this still led to unnecessary clutter. One theory among players is that the design might be deliberate, with the focus on encouraging players' engagement with the seasonal content introduced in the recent Diablo 4 update. However, many feel that this approach is more of a burden than a feature, especially when they have to return to town frequently to salvage excess compasses.

Among the new features and updates in Diablo 4's Season 5, the introduction of Infernal Compasses stands out as a major addition. These items are essential for accessing the Realm of Hatred, where players face waves of increasingly difficult demons.

As the season progresses, players are hopeful that Blizzard will take their feedback into account. It remains to be seen if the developer will make the necessary adjustments to provide a better inventory management experience for players.
