Diablo 4's Lunar Awakening Event Criticized for Short Duration and Cosmetic Issues

The event, meant to celebrate the Lunar New Year, has faced backlash for its brief gameplay, cosmetic unlock restrictions, and misleading information about free rewards.

Diablo 4's Lunar Awakening event, celebrating the Lunar New Year, has been criticized for its short duration, with some players completing it in less than a day.
The event has faced backlash for cosmetic unlock restrictions, requiring players to create new characters to claim class-specific rewards.
Misleading information about free rewards has also been a point of contention, with discrepancies between promised and actual available cosmetics.
Despite the criticisms, the event offers highly praised free cosmetics, including a player cosmetic and a horse, considered among the best free rewards since the game's launch.
The event's issues come as Diablo 4 struggles to recover from a poorly received Season 3 launch, with the Lunar Awakening feedback adding to the game's challenges.
