An unhappy player of Blizzard's Diablo 4 has taken to the internet with a comical plea for acceptance towards the game's fearsome and furry werebear Druids. In anticipation of the game's official launch on June 6, Blizzard recently released patch 1.0.2d, which primarily addressed some ongoing class balance concerns. Despite initial hesitation from some gamers due to the lukewarm reception of Diablo 3 in 2012, the series' latest entry has won over many players through a series of open betas and Stress Test weekends. Diablo 4 has abandoned the controversial and cartoonish color scheme of its predecessor, while retaining many of the quality-of-life improvements that were introduced in Diablo 3. Those who pre-ordered the game on PC and consoles have had the opportunity to participate in the early access period leading up to the full release.
The Reddit post titled "An appeal from the Bear Druid community" on r/diablo4 requests fellow players to stop attacking every bear that appears on their screen. The post acknowledges that attacking Druids in their werebear form is a common response as they "look like a massive scary bear." However, the author, ProtoformX87, emphasizes that being attacked on sight with arrows or magical attacks is hurtful and does not physically harm the Druids. Despite some sympathy from other Redditors, there were also humorous responses and users who continued to attack everything in sight.
The comical appeal by ProtoformX87 to promote acceptance of werebears amongst players may have elicited some chuckles, but it's doubtful that it will deter them from engaging in combat with these creatures in the future. However, encountering a colossal bear in Sanctuary can definitely be a hair-raising experience, though not quite as terrifying as some of the exorbitant prices in the Diablo 4 store.
