Diablo 4 fixed a bad menu that tricked fans into purchasing a battle pass

Diablo IVThe first season It got off to a rocky start after a disastrous patch Decreased set of characters and builds, but a few other, much smaller issues have also drawn fan criticism, including a battle pass design that tricked some players into accidentally purchasing the premium version. Blizzard is now rolling out a fix after a gamer accused the company of using a “dark style” design to deceive players.

Adventurer Rorickhan V wrote Tweet which exploded on July 20. “Guess what happened to me and at least 5 others in my stream. This is straight malicious design.”

A clip accompanying the post showed that the creator had mistakenly redeemed the Season 1 Battle Pass paid for using a freebie from the deluxe edition of the game. Players use the Season tab constantly in the menu to check their seasonal progress, and the location of the “Activate Premium Battle Pass” button makes it extremely easy to accidentally click on it.
