In Diablo 4 you can now buy skins for your portals, but Blizzard has exaggerated the price and angered players.
What’s with the portals? When you use Diablo 4’s fast travel, you travel back and forth between different waypoints using a portal. These portals are usually blue. However, now Blizzard has introduced a cosmetic pack that contains skins for exactly these portals.
With the package you get access to five different portals in different colors. However, these portals are each tied to a specific class.
The package costs 29.99 euros and, in addition to the five portals, also contains 1,000 platinum, the premium currency of Diablo 4. For 1,000 platinum you would have to pay 9.99 euros in the D4 shop if you buy the currency without portal skins wanted.
Players complain about the prices of portal skins
What does the community say? Diablo 4 players have often complained about the prices Blizzard charges for cosmetic content, and the new Portal skin pack has also been criticized.
Many players on Reddit find the price far too high, even if you get 1,000 platinum with a theoretical value of 9.99 euros when you buy it – especially because the skins are tied to a class.
Some players also look at other games like Palworld and Path of Exile to give additional weight to their lack of understanding about the high prices
In general, you can buy various really high-quality games for €30. In addition to Palworld, Hades and Grim Dawn are also available on Steam.
For just a few euros more you can also buy Last Epoch, which is one of Diablo 4’s biggest competitors and will be leaving early access on February 21st.
