Another commenter points out that Blizzard technically never said which of the eight cosmetics would be free,Diablo IV Items but the original Reddit poster argues that the paid-for cosmetics never should've been put in the same image as the free rewards in the first place.
A separate Reddit post is worried that either they're missing something, or the new event is "shockingly bad." There's a lot of commenters assuring them that no, they're not missing anything. "It's just an incredibly short event with a few free cosmetics that was rolled out to sell the corresponding paid cosmetics," the top-voted comment underneath the post reads.
Apparently, some players had even 'finished' the Lunar Awakening event on the very first day that it was available. One writes that they simply "ran from event to event killing stuff after I got the shrine," and doing just that let them level up and unlock every in-game reward after less than a day played.
This all comes after Diablo 4's Season 3 debuted to very poor player reviews. Players railed against the new season as a "great step backwards," but verdicts on Season 3 seemed to be reversing last month, when a substantial patch buffed one of the key new features for the ongoing season. The Lunar Awakening feedback surely won't help matters, though.
Blizzard previously promised multiple years' worth of expansions for its hellish hack-n-slasher, and while the publisher has been tight-lipped about what's next, dataminers have dug into the game's technical alpha 2.0 build that was uploaded for testing purposes. The upcoming expansion may be called Lord of Hatred, according to a report from the YouTube channel YbuBaKa. (Good spot, WccfTech.)
Lord of Hatred supposedly carries the baton from the main game's ending buy Diablo 4 Items and focuses on the demon Mephisto, brother to Diablo and Bhaal. The report also claims that the expansion takes place in the Kurast region and adds more or less what you'd expect: more raids, more quests, more loot. Other details point to a new class called Spiritborn, and something called the Mercenary system, which might let players recruit NPCs with dedicated skill trees.
