While Diablo 4 has been massively successful there are still some changes that are being called for by fans. A lack of more robust social elements in Diablo 4, as well as the annoying "This skill isn't ready yet" pop-up are among some of the pains players wish to see changed. As Diablo 4 is an ongoing live service title, fans Diablo 4 Items wouldn't be wrong to expect to see these issues addressed at some point in the near future.

The frustrating "Save the Adventurers" event in Diablo 4 is leading some players to criticize the game. Diablo 4 is packed full of open-world encounters and events that players can do at their leisure. Yet not all events are created equal, according to Diablo 4's playerbase. While most of these events are relatively easy, there's one revolving around protecting a group of NPC adventurers that is easily and frequently failed.

In Diablo 4's open world, certain areas of the map have a chance to spawn encounters. These encounters aren't permanently available, disappearing upon completion for an unclear amount of time. Each encounter is somewhat different, tasking players with quests like contributing blood to a ritual or following a wandering spirit as it looks for its family. Completing the encounter rewards a chest full of loot, plus bonuses if the encounter is "Mastered" by performing an additional challenge.

One specific encounter continues to give Diablo 4 players headaches, however. The encounter involves multiple adventurers that ask the player to protect them amidst waves of attacking enemies. The encounter can have different enemies, but oftentimes the NPCs frequently die and deny players a Mastery bonus. Sometimes they die from seemingly random spikes of damage, and sometimes they die because there's no real way to protect them. Regardless, it seems many Diablo 4 players find the encounter annoying.

A popular post on Reddit captures the issue in a meme. The top text on the meme reads "Keep one adventurer alive," referencing the goal for mastering the encounter. The bottom text reads, "Aaaand they're gone," since they die so quickly. A second Reddit posts on the subject details a player's frustrations in more detail. They say the encounter is a joke, that the adventurers die to AOEs or poison, and have no visible health bar.

The issue obviously isn't pressing. Diablo 4 players responding to these Reddit posts acknowledge that it's silly how difficult it is to keep these NPCs alive, but also recognize the rewards aren't particularly special anyway. Many players say the encounter is still good because of all the enemies it spawns, which can make up for the loot lost by letting the adventurers die.

Giving the adventurers more health or resistance would seemingly be an easy solution to the problem. Perhaps Blizzard likes that one of its Diablo 4 encounters has a higher failure rate than the others, though. Most other encounters are quite easy, after all. Perhaps Blizzard will note the feedback and buff the NPCs in a future update, but that's just speculation at cheap Diablo 4 materials this time.

Diablo 4 has various ways for players to customize their character. From the start of the game, players are first left to create the character that they will use for the rest of the game; after some exploration, players will then begin to find new pieces of armor to equip.
