Diablo 4

Diablo 4 Season 5is here, giving players bottomless Infernal Hordes to savage and plunder – and also unintentionally giving them some tempering recipes they learned last season, it turns out.

“This isn’t the original design or intention so I wouldn’t expect this for future seasons but we are letting this one slide for Season 5,” he added.

“There are still new tempering recipes to be discovered this season for all classes,” Fletcher clarified in a follow-up tweet.

I’m reminded of an iconic card from the board game Monopoly: Bank Error In Your Favor. This is the best kind of bug right here, even if it is just a one-time thing. Although frankly, Diablo 4 has turned so many well-received experiments into permanent features that, even if Fletcher says we shouldn’t expect this for future seasons, I’m not crossing it out in my mind just yet. Whatever the case, take the Ws where you can. Enjoy your tempering jump-start, grinders.

Diablo 4 sleuths crack a year-long mystery to find a new ring, leading some to dream of the secret cow level Blizzard won’t stop teasing everyone about once more.
