Diablo 4‘sVessel of Hatredexpansion promised to breathe new life into Blizzard’s action RPG, introducing the highly anticipated Spiritborn class and a wealth of new content. However, what players got instead was a veritable carnival of bugs, glitches, and exploits that have transformed Sanctuary into something resembling the Wild West.
From game-breaking class mechanics to bizarre item duplication glitches, the current state of the game is drawing uncomfortable comparisons to the chaos ofSeason of the Malignant. But while some players are pulling their hair out in frustration, others seem to be having the time of their lives exploiting these unintended features.
And as if things couldn’t get any more interesting, Blizzard’s response (or lack thereof) to these issues has left many wondering if anyone’s actually steering the ship anymore.
A Bug for Every Occasion inDiablo 4
The Spiritborn class launched with such spectacular bugs that it’s literally breaking the game’s damage counter. We’re talking about damage numbers so high that they’re causing integer overflow errors—something you’d expect to see in a programming tutorial, not in a AAA game release.
In what could be an industry-first move,DiablobossRod Fergusson actually took to social mediato ask players if they should fix the class or leave it in its gloriously broken state. It’s like asking kids if they want to keep their unlimited candy supply—the response was about what you’d expect!

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The more recent Antivenin Elixir bug has been pushing players’ health pools into the millions, players into virtually unkillable gods. While Blizzard has moved rather quickly to patch this particular exploit, it’s justone of the many issues currently plaguing the game.
The latest controversy involves a crafting exploit that’s causing chaos in the economy:
Yes, you read that right. Players have discovered a way to duplicate Masterwork materials by exploiting a salvaging bug. It’s like watching someone break a vending machine and having it spew out endless snacks—except these snacks are worth real money on the black market.
The Exodus Begins asPath of Exile 2Looms
As Blizzard struggles to keep their house in order, many players are already eyeing the exit. WithPath of Exile 2‘s early access launch just three weeks away, the timing couldn’t be worse forDiablo 4:
For $30 (free-to-play come full release),Path of Exile 2is promising a more polished experience with regular updates and developer communication—two things that seem to be in short supply in Sanctuary these days. While it’s true thatPoE2takes inspiration fromDiablo, it’s starting to look like the student might be surpassing the master.

The most frustrating part? These aren’t just minor inconveniences – they’re game-breaking issues that would typically warrant emergency hotfixes in any other live service game. Yet here we are, watching as players essentially turnDiablo 4into their own personal playground whileBlizzardseems content to run polls on Twitter.
