Diablo 4 Season 1 got off to an eventful start, but a significant bug threatened the balance of the game. Blizzard has acted swiftly to address the issue, fixing a bug that allowed Eternal characters to infiltrate the Seasonal Realms. This bug had the unintended consequence of enabling players to bring their highly leveled-up and well-equipped characters into seasonal content, causing significant problems in the in-game market.
Season 1 in Diablo 4 introduced a rule that required players to create new characters specifically for seasonal content, keeping their Eternal characters separate. This rule aimed to create a level playing field and prevent seasoned players from dominating seasonal competitions with their overpowered characters. However, an exploitable bug emerged, allowing Eternal characters to defy this rule and enter the Seasonal Realms.
