The new Reliquary Battle Pass feature is really having a bad day. It’s just not working properly. From costing players Favor Tokens without giving them their rewards, to just not unlocking when purchased with the Battle Pass, there are many bugs Blizzard said they’re working on fixing. However, there’s a new one that’s really just very annoying, and potentially dangerous as well!
Watch Out! It’s the Seasonal Rewards!
Players have been getting assaulted by the Reliquary screen mid-battle. It has a message show up when you unlock something from it. That part is fine. However, it will also open the full Reliquary screen if you press R, the default keybind for the feature. Even when you specifically unbound the key! That’s right, regardless of whether the Reliquary is or isn’t actually bound to the R key, it will still open when the key is pressed. This turned out to be a pretty big problem for players who use that key for skills. Like Wooden-Contract-2760 who uses it for their ultimate:
This is pretty irritating/mildly funny for Softcore players, but if/when this catches Hardcore players unaware and gets them killed, it won’t be quite as humorous.
While it’s to be expected for a new feature to have some issues at launch, the Reliquary is really dragging things down for Season 8. Let’s hope the issues get resolved soon!
