Within the fiery landscape of the highly anticipated Diablo 4, the players are relentlessly seeking clarity on one particular gameplay detail. Should they harbour any hope that cinders, a seemingly trivial yet game-shaping element, will not disappear in between Helltides?

Summary

  • Players voice mixed opinions on whether cinders persist or vanish between Helltides.
  • The consensus leans towards cinders disappearing, until official patch notes clarify.
  • Many players suggest changes that could potentially improve gameplay experience.

Vanishing Acts

Most players are in agreement with GuiltyExcitement7952, stating that cinders indeed “will vanish” between Helltides. Similarly, baygowser believes it’s safe to say they “will still vanish” pending a proper look at the upcoming season 3 patch notes.

A Shred of Hope

Not all players are resigned to this fate of fleeting cinders, a beacon of hope shines from Yagyusekishusai1 who claims that as long as the player doesn’t log out, cinders “carry over” between Helltides. EldiusVT also expresses hope for cinders to carry through, similar to the way blood did for harvests.

Suggested Game Improvements

As the discussions progressed, players suggested how this issue could be handled better. Own_Ad2274 remarks on the frustration of having to ‘stop playing until the game lets me play again’, indicating a desire for more player control over gameplay flow.

Interestingly, No_Basil_59 counters this concern by suggesting players just “target farm” and leave if they aren’t able to finish a Helltide, viewing this as part of the game’s challenge. So the question remains, to vanish or not to vanish? Until official clarification sparks some light on this issue, the flame of speculation continues to burn brightly in the Diablo 4 community.
