Top 10 Things to Know About Diablo IV's Season of Hatred Rising

10. A Smaller Story, but Still Plenty of Action!

Compared to past Diablo seasons, Season of Hatred Rising is a little more scaled-back in terms of its storyline. The writers may have deliberately simplified the storyline; possibly focusing on adding this specific additional storyline to highlight the upcoming expansion. The story focuses on Mephisto's corrupting influence spreading through Sanctuary; showcasing his evil influence spreading and those monsters affected and newly emerging; The remnants of the Zakarum Order need your help fighting this terrifying infestation! We also see that enormous threat– Realmwalkers– these huge creatures can make portals between dimensions, unleashing monstrous waves of hate-fueled enemies!

9. The Purveyor of Curiosities Gets a Massive Buff!

A sneaky, awesome addition involves improving the loot from the Purveyor of Curiosities. This gambling vendor's got better odds for those who use those valuable Murmuring Obols. The quality of potential rewards has increased significantly. That improved loot includes legendary and unique items. It’s going to make the old system's potential drops seem much worse and provide significantly better odds. Using those obols provides this quick pathway to great loot! This alone is incredibly valuable.

8. Level Cap Changes and the Power of Paragon Levels

That max level cap got a significant reduction: going from 100 to 60. It sounds strange; this seems like it might limit things. However; this unlocks the Paragon board! That's another 300 levels of upgrades! Using this system helps tweak character builds incredibly efficiently.

And these new Paragon improvements are connected across the player’s realms– all characters gain this progress on their Eternal and Seasonal realms! This means your efforts are multiplied over those multiple accounts; providing greater incentives to complete more grinding runs! And the Paragon system is reminiscent of Diablo 3, which will give veterans a feel-good boost.

7. World Tiers are GONE! New Difficulty Levels Arrive!

Those old World Tiers? Gone! Replaced by two new tiers: Standard and Torment; each has four difficulty levels each: Standard (Normal, Hard, Expert, and Penitent), and Torment (levels one through four; unlocked during the endgame). This change brings an entirely new scaling, that makes the levels and the gameplay more refined and structured. This new structure works extremely well at providing challenging new modes even after grinding through levels initially.

6. Party Finder: A Long-Awaited Social Feature

Many Diablo IV players have requested a party finder – which allows group creation and searching based upon many preferences, selecting various dungeons, open-world activities, or The Pit; also various conditions and specific goals; ranging from a Carry request to specific playstyle preferences; ranging from having to talk, requiring silence during the game or various other social parameters; generating great options that satisfy every player's preferences and allow much more casual and casual player interactions that are usually very hard to set up without such a well-organized system; an amazing, well-thought addition.

5. Premium Battle Pass: Mounts, Armor, and More!

There's that seasonal Battle Pass. It has a free path; you simply keep playing the game for rewards; or buy the Premium Pass for a whole bunch more including unique mounts and that Soul Drinker armor set. Plus cool town portal skins and much more!

That free path includes awesome pirate-themed items – a surprising choice but an incredibly enjoyable surprise nonetheless; especially considering some of those themed elements could greatly benefit certain builds; giving the player further opportunity in customization.

4. Zakarum Remnants Reputation: Earn Exclusive Season 6 Rewards

It builds off of Season of the Infernal Hordes' storyline; these Zakarum Remnants are fighting Mephisto’s corruption! You help them and you'll earn exclusive Season 6 rewards! Earn reputation by battling Realmwalkers, killing monsters (especially using Seething Opals) and many other ways.

Find Crusader Damond in Zarbinzet to start this specific Season’s quest line! He also rewards you when you build up your reputation in that system!

3. Seething Opals: Powerful Consumables for Boosts

Complete those Seething Realm dungeons to get Seething Opals. These aren't socketable gems. These are consumables giving powerful buffs—depending on type! Gold, Equipment, Materials, Socketables, and Torment– those all create surprisingly effective options; adding multiple additional options depending upon your character build.

You get more Zakarum rep, even outside seasonal content, so this works everywhere in the game.

2. Realmwalker World Events: Every 15 Minutes!

Those huge Realmwalkers spawn every 15 minutes in various zones; creating that continuous wave of gameplay that keeps everything moving! That green skull icon on the map pinpoints their area, and that white portal shows the precise spawning point for these unique and rare events. You fight off their minions; then deal damage to those big guys; the defeat unleashes those amazing Seething Realm portals for more loot! For those with Vessel of Hatred, there's a second one in Nahantu.

1. Seething Realm Dungeons: Loot, Goblins, and More!

Defeated Realmwalkers leave portals to those limited-time Seething Realm dungeons! They are perfect for getting Seething Opals, Zakarum reputation, and some awesome loot. Those dungeons give greater opportunities to also find treasure goblins, too – especially for those players wanting that extra cash boost! That alone makes clearing the Seething Realm worthwhile!
