Diablo 4 Fans Aren't Happy With the StarCraft Crossover

Some fans have gone online to share their dissatisfaction with Diablo 4‘s new StarCraft crossover. There are multiple areas that Diablo 4 fans are unhappy with in the ongoing StarCraft crossover event.

The Diablo 4 and StarCraft crossover was announced as part of Season 10’s launch, with the event running from September 26 to October 10 to bring together two of Blizzard’s most iconic franchises. The bulk of the crossover involves tons of new cash shop items, featuring designs based on some iconic StarCraft characters. However, not all fans are happy with the new cosmetics that Blizzard is offering to players.

The Appearance and Price of Diablo 4's StarCraft Crossover Leaves Some Fans Unhappy

Multiple threads on the Diablo 4 subreddit have shared their frustration with the new StarCraft crossover. One thread started by user jnovuse focused on the price of the items. Each Diablo 4 armor set costs 2,800 Platinum in the crossover, with the Foe to Friend Companion bundle costing 2,500. There are seven armor sets in the StarCraft crossover, so that’s a total of 22,100 Platinum to purchase everything. Redditor jnovuse pointed out that the best Platinum deal when bought in bulk only allows for a maximum of 18,500 Platinum at one time, costing $149.99. Fans across the thread lamented the overall cost of the new cosmetics, with each individual armor set costing $24.99 when the Platinum is bought alone. However, few were surprised by the prices, despite their unhappiness.

Another thread by user ZodiacEra raised the opinion that the new cosmetics “feel below standard,” showing off the Queen of Blades armor set as an example. Comments on this were mixed. While some think it looks great on a female Diablo 4 Spiritborn character, others claim it looks cheap and low effort, with one user stating it looks like something “from a low budget DC superhero movie.” Players will always vote with their wallets on matters like this – there will still be plenty of Diablo 4 fans who are enjoying the new StarCraft skins.

Crossovers in general have been something of a hot topic in the Diablo 4 community. Earlier this year, Diablo had a Berserk crossover, and it’s expected that there will be even more in the future. Players are split between what they should be, with some feeling that cosmetics should feel lore-friendly and look right at home in Diablo 4, while others just want to see their favorite IPs appear in Blizzard’s ARPG. One thing is for sure – it will be very difficult for Blizzard to please everyone going forward.
