Sins of the Horadrim has brought quite a few improvements to Diablo 4, including one inconspicuous but clearly appreciated by players.

Diablo 4 introduced a lot of changes in Season 9, but it's the new "wardrobes" that players are really loving.

If someone tried to point out the most important new feature of the new season of D4 before the release of Sins of Horadrim, it would probably be the return of the Nightmare Dungeons, changed and rebuilt to be attractive not only as a way to level up characters. Perhaps someone might also mention the new seasonal mechanics (although, let's face it, such a fan would likely be in the minority) or changes in the balance of gameplay.

However, a seemingly overlooked change made a big splash on social media, apparently missed by Blizzard in their official announcements.

Changing outfit with one click

The most popular thread on Reddit about the ninth season is not about the combat system, class balance, dungeons, or bosses. No, what caught the players' attention was a small improvement in the character's equipment menu: from now on, you can equip your character with a complete themed set of gear with just one click.

At first glance, it may be surprising that this small feature has provoked such an enthusiastic reaction from internet users. At least until the players look into their own inventory and remember how full their virtual "wardrobe" is. The items in the set don't always have similar names.

If someone enjoys dressing up (and let's be honest, a character's appearance matters a lot to many people), they must have to go through their collection, often checking one by one to make sure that this armor or shin guards are really part of the player's desired set. It was as time-consuming as it was frustrating.

Of course, these aren't the only improvements. Players have also reported the addition of a preview option for cosmetic items (including those not purchased), even after repainting them in a different color. A small thing, but apparently it was appreciated by the fans.

"Big plans" and "some of the biggest changes" in Diablo 4

Of course, any improvement that saves the player's time (and nerves) is pleasing, but Diablo 4 still needs other, more important changes.

Adam "PezRadar" Fletcher, the manager for Blizzard's community, recently hinted (via Reddit) about "big plans" and "some of the biggest changes" that are intended to align with the wishes of the players. Perhaps, as some players guess, these fixes will be included in the fourth Diablo along with the release of the next expansion?
