Blizzard gifts Diablo 4 players a Resplendent Spark after rocky Season of Hell's Legacy launch
Blizzard sent a Resplendent Spark and an apology note to Diablo 4 players after the Season of Hell's Legacy launch was hit by server issues, but some say they never got the gift.
Diablo 4's Season of Hell's Legacy launched over two weeks ago, but its arrival was anything but smooth. The season was delayed by several hours as players ran into log-in errors and server problems, and some in-game systems, including The Tree of Whispers, failed to display rewards.
Blizzard has since addressed the outstanding problems through patches and hotfixes. As a gesture of goodwill, the studio sent players a Resplendent Spark, a rare crafting material used to create Mythic Unique weapons and gear, through the in-game Horadric Post mailing system. The gift came with a thank you note apologising for the unexpected issues.
Not everyone received it. Some players report seeing the apology message but no Resplendent Spark attached. On Reddit, players have theorised that only those directly affected by the launch problems were given the gift, though Blizzard has not confirmed this.
Eurogamer reported on the mixed response to the compensation. Diablo 4 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
