Diablo 4 survey shows: These microtransactions could be stuck in the shop
Some players received a Diablo 4 survey from Blizzard listing different versions of the game with different prices and rewards. Players should decide which package appeals to them more. For the first time we get a look at possible microtransactions in Diablo 4.
On the Diablo 4 Reddit forum is a post appeared, showing that Blizzard sent out a poll to some players. The poll is about what kind of game pack (i.e. game + reward X, Y or Z) they would prefer in Diablo 4 and how much users would be willing to pay for it. After the experience with the mobile offshoot Diablo Immortal, of course, all the alarm bells rang immediately for Diablo players.
As a list of possible variants for microtransactions shows, only cosmetic items are available. In addition, Blizzard’s community lead for Diablo 4, Rod Fergusson, has several times clarified on Twitterthat it is the Diablo 4 shop items should not revolve around gameplay content. An attached Imgur gallery of the Reddit post shows the possible microtransaction items from the survey.
These microtransactions could be in Diablo 4
Respondents are offered different combinations of rewards split across three different full versions of the game. You can safely ignore the different prices and, like the rewards themselves, are not yet certain. According to the developers, different players will see different prices.
In the room are rewards such as transmog sets, a horse with different armor and a back decoration (like wings in Diablo 3). The currency with which the items can be bought bears the name in this survey Platinum. This can be used to purchase current and future shop items. As we can see from the list of items, these are actually only cosmetic items, although these are of course also interesting for players in an ARPG.
Battle Pass and early access planned?
A Battle Pass and early access also appear in the list of possible packages. The description for early access states that one allowed to play a few days before the official release. The Battle Pass gives access to premium rewards through play (probably achievements). The Battle Pass also emphasizes once again that these are purely cosmetic rewards.
We already know from some leaks that similar to Diablo 3, cross-promotion for World of Warcraft seems to be planned again. Diablo 4 buyers may be able to purchase a special mount called Acquire Amalgam of Rage in WoW, for which there are already first pictures. What do you think of the microtransactions in Diablo 4? Do you still fear a real money shop? We look forward to your opinion in the comments.
