Diablo 4 players are loving the changes made to the Paragon system in Season 6. Named Hatred Rising, Diablo 4 Season 6 marked an important moment, as it was released at the same time as the game's first expansion. It has also been notable for introducing exciting content such as new dungeons and enemies, as well as major changes to the progression of the action RPG.
One of the most notable progression adjustments is the addition of new difficulties for Diablo 4 players, offering experiences for different skill levels. Another noteworthy adjustment was the rework of item quality in Blizzard's RPG, removing the drop of Sacred items and adjusting the power of non-Ancestral items with several tweaks.
All New Mounts in Diablo 4: Vessel of Hatred
There are 20 new mounts in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred, most of which can be earned for free just by doing new VoH activities.
Another progression change made by Diablo 4 in Season 6 included the Paragon system, which proved to be a big hit with the community. Reddit user Assignment_General is one of those players satisfied with the changes, calling them “the real MVP" of the season. They explain those changes gave Diablo 4's endgame a much-needed sense of purpose and a sense of progression that wasn't always apparent before. The player also mentions the extra Paragon levels and the five-board limit as their favorite parts of the change.
Changes to Diablo 4 's Paragon System Have Won Over Players
The start of Diablo 4's sixth season made significant changes to the Paragon system, such as splitting character and Paragon levels. The devs revised stats such as health and armor, and gave each class a new board, with this board containing a Legendary Node and extra Normal Nodes. The number of Paragon Points has also gone up from 200 to 300. In the comments section, the other Redditors agreed with the OP, with one Redditor citing the five boards as a “big win.” Another player praised the removal of magic Glyphs, while a third said they'd like to see rare Glyphs with more interesting powers added to the game.
While the new Paragon system is well received, it's not the only new feature that has won players' hearts. Diablo 4's Seething Opals are such a hit that players are asking devs to keep the feature in the game permanently. Other inclusions that have received praise are the Realmwalker events, bringing players face to face with these menacing creatures, and the new questline related to the Zakarum Remnants, which offers rewards based on players' Reputation level.
