Summary
Diablo 4players have noticed that the experience buff for the Mother’s Blessing event is somewhat smaller than advertised, and Blizzard’s developers not only confirmed that this was an unintended change, but that they are also working on a fix. Though Season of Blood has takenDiablo 4in a positive direction overall, other quality-of-life features, such as a loot filter, are still missing from the game. That being said, many players would agree that leveling feels less of a chore, build variety has increased, and theendgame inDiablo 4is no longer as monotonous as it used to be at launch.

However, though the Mother’s Blessing event promised a 35% increase in gained Experience and Gold (stacking with Elixir and Incense bonuses), the update only provided a 25% increase in-game.
