One of the newest features coming to Diablo 4 Season 10 is the brand new Chaos Armor. As a result, the Chaos Armor shakes up the meta for builds and gives players fresh options to explore. However, despite these changes, fans are already criticizing some pieces as recycled from older sets.
New Armor, Old Looks
For most games nowadays, the true endgame lies in fashion. It’s a shared experience across multiple genres, including World of Warcraft, Warframe, and even Dark Souls. Sadly, Diablo 4 doesn’t have many new earnable pieces of transmog aside from one or two sets introduced every season, which are hard to blend with other armors.
Fans hoped to see new models with the Chaos Armor, but most, if not all, of the new Chaos sets simply reused or slightly tweaked older designs. Reddit user Magestick1 notes that one of the Chaos armor samples is essentially the Soul Drinker armor fuzed with the Greater Helm of the Khazra, featuring some new effects.
The Diablo 4 Cycle?
Many comments in this thread express disappointment over the fact that most flashy and eye-catching armor pieces are now only available through the in-game Store or the seasonal Battle Pass. Players who don’t want to spend money each season find themselves with fewer and fewer options for transmog.
The limited-time nature of each season’s Battle Pass armor is creating an escalating problem. If you don’t buy and grind out every set each season, you’ll struggle to find much to transmog with.
Fans also express their growing frustrations as Blizzard continues to recycle models, content, or other gimmicks to keep seasons rolling out. Does Blizzard need to make seasons longer to cook up something fresh? Is the time between Diablo 4 seasons too short, which is why Blizzard has to reuse models? Is this a problem that Blizzard will ever address?
