Diablo 4 players beg Blizzard to make Season 3’s Gatehall hub permanent
Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 4 Season 3 has some interesting additions to spice up the experience but one of its more mundane inclusions is a crowd favorite. Players are pleading with Blizzard to keep the Gatehall hub around.
Diablo 4’s Season of the Construct got off to a bit of a rocky start as fans of the game leaped to criticize the new seasonal mechanics. Even the game’s most prominent streamers were struggling to find any merits in Season 3.
Fortunately, the most recent patch for Diablo 4 Season 3 has caused players to do a complete backflip. Changes to the new Vault dungeons at the core of the seasonal gameplay loop have reinvigorated Diablo fans.
Now that the dust has settled and the initial outrage has died down a bit, players are looking at the season in a new light and noticing more of the positives. Diablo 4 Season 3’s new Gatehall hub area has fans on the game’s Subreddit petitioning Blizzard to make it a permanent fixture.
The Gatehall hub removes a lot of the fuss of Diablo 4’s gear management and upgrading thanks to its inclusion of all the relevant vendors in very close proximity. Diablo 4’s towns and cities aren’t a major hassle to get around but it can be frustrating when the two vendors you need are on opposite sides of the settlement.
The convenience of the Gatehall relative to the other towns and cities in Diablo 4 has forever altered the habits of players. “You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube Blizz,” one player said. “Having this hub is phenomenal QoL.”
Multiple people grinding out new Seasonal characters have come forward suggesting that the Gatehall be made a permanent inclusion in Diablo 4 going forward. While the semantics are up for debate on just how to implement it, one suggestion has gained the most traction.
“Expand the Tree of Whispers base into a full base like the Gatehall,” one player put forth to unanimous agreement. This would probably be the simplest method as all the site needs is an Occultist and an Alchemist.
Diablo 4’s dev team has done a pretty good job of implementing major seasonal feedback from fans with the inclusion of target farming and permanent Helltides.
Hopefully, this is another suggestion they take on board to reduce the time spent managing gear so we can spend more time acquiring it.
