The Hack’n Slay Diablo 4 becomes much more difficult with Season 8. Blizzard has announced that the progress in the action RPG with Season 7 has become too easy and wants to make certain goals much more difficult now. At the moment, says Blizzard, 50 % reached the Tormet 4 difficulty level, from April with Season 8, only the top 10 % of the players should do this. For some players, this now triggers a reaction to quickly reach a milestone. You want to crack PIT 150.
This is the announcement by Blizzard: On March 7, Blizzard announced in a Campfire Chat that you want to significantly increase the level of difficulty in Diablo 4 again:
With Season 7, the number of players has doubled, made PIT 65 and thus activated the level of difficulty Torment 4. About 50 % of Diablo 4 players have achieved this goal.
With Season 8, reaching the level of difficulty should be much more difficult: Instead of 50 % of all players, only the top 10 % of all players from Diablo 4 should be able to unlock Torment 4

PIT 150 should be 73 times more difficult from April, says a creator
That is now the assumption: As Dexerto reports, the Content Creator Rob2628 calculated about 2 weeks ago that a current milestone for ambitious players in Diablo 4, the Pit 150, in the Season 8, would be about 73 times more difficult than now in Season 7.
The creator has calculated 73.5 times more damage than today to successfully complete PIT 150 (via YouTube).
Some players scold the elitist Blizzard
This is the result now: Blizzard’s announcement is discussed controversially. There is a negative interpretation in the Diablo 4 forum. One user says: Blizzard does not want to exclude 40 % of the current Torment 4 players.
This is an “elite attitude” who stinks according to people who are only about being as elitist in Grinding-Games as possible.
The user says: He is not angry with Blizzard, only very disappointed.
Players see it as a motivation to really punch in Diablo 4 again
But there are also some players to whom the announcement of Season 8 is now steaming. So a player said on Reddit on March 22nd: He actually no longer wants to play Diablo 4, but now he has scratched all motivation and tackled PIT 150 and even managed the challenge because he believes that he will no longer be feasible for him in Season 8:
I had 0 motivation to get the BW cheese beyond PIT 135-it is not a fun build, it is totally overruited and only relies on the fact that you can improve your equipment up to the point where you can roll down everything that stands in the way.
But then I saw the S8 patch notes and realized that it is now or never time to reach the 150 Clear.
Other users also say that they now take the chance to properly put on Diablo 4 again before they are impossible for them with Season 8.
When is it over? The Season 8 of Diablo 4 will begin on April 29 and will go by mid -July 2025.
Fear of the patch notes as motivation
That is behind it: Usually motivating announcements of new patches and contents the players.
It is usually no longer so much fun to play the current content, because the players are already mentally dealing with the new things and the current content then seems irrelevant and irrelevant. Therefore, many developers hesitate to present the next extensions and patches early.
Ironically, Blizzard seems to have produced more desire for the current content with the announcement that Diablo 4 wants to make much harder, at least for some players: Blizzard wants to make Diablo 4 much harder – now players have found out how hard have found out how hard
