Usually bugs are either game-breaking, amusing, or incredibly inconvenient annoyances for players. However, Diablo 4‘s latest bug has proven to be both beneficial and popular. So much so that Activision Blizzard has already indicated that it won’t be releasing a fix for the duration of the game’s fifth season, Season of the Infernal Hordes.
Via Kotaku, Diablo 4 allows players to upgrade their gear with Legendary Tempering recipes each season. Essentially, that system allows players to decide which affixes they want to attach to their gear. It was only introduced in the fourth season of Diablo 4, and it was supposed to reset the recipes for Season 5. However, the bug has allowed all of last season’s Legendary Tempering recipes to remain in place. That’s made leveling a lot easier than in the past.
Although Season of the Infernal Hordes launched today, sharp-eyed Diablo 4 players noticed the bug right away. Once the word got out, Blizzard eventually had to respond to it. And fortunately, the company doesn’t plan to do anything about it. Global community development director Adam Fletcher confirmed that the bug wasn’t intentional before adding that the company is “letting this one slide.”
Regardless, Fletcher made it clear that the reset of tempering recipes will resume when the next season, Vessel of Hatred, arrives in October. In the meantime, it sounds like players are going to enjoy playing Season of the Infernal Hordes with more powerful gear than they would normally get to have.
