    I put in 60+ hours in this game only for the developers to take a sledgehammer to all that hard work with the recent patch. I'm done with Diablo and I'm done with Blizzard

    Diablo 4 launched 1.1.0 and killed the beautiful launch they had. They destroyed all hype for season one. My character has been hammered so hard, I was setback in the endgame by about 30% (Nightmare Levels).

    Game was decent at best (6/10) before patch 1.1.0, now it's more like a 3/10.

    I want to create new builds, yet there's only 1 or 2 that's actually viable on Sorc and even if there were more viable builds, how do they expect me to reroll all my skills, paragon stuff, gear and aspects, and than if I don't like it having to revert it all without being able to save loadouts?

    I want to create new builds, but I'm being highly discouraged to do so and end up not trying anything new, too much of a hassle.
    So yh, need more viable build variety.

    Need more storage space.
    Higher density mobs.
    Faster paced gameplay (lower cd's, teleport inside NM Dungeon instead of outside, better aspects with more upside compared to downsides).
    Class balancing, you either get oneshot or you don't, armor is trash, elemental res. doesn't work etc..

    I could keep going but I'm tired, have a good day.    … Expand

    Campaign is good, After getting into World Tier 4 nothing really to play for. Direction the game is heading with latest patch has killed any desire to try future seasons. Devs seem to be going the opposite direction, to inject time wasting changes into the game to try to mask the lack of content after the campaign.

Well yes, but we are not going to tell you what you can get and the cost will rise significantly, why even bother.

    Blizzard, you don't have to gaslight me into thinking you want me to play, your actions show me that you don't so I am not going to. I really hoped there would be some depth to Diablo 4 but it is really just a very large mud puddle.    … Expand

    Absurd nerfs in patches can come at any time, I can't stress this enough. One day you will be happy and having fun and the next day your character will be unplayable.

    Okay so basically don't get this game. The devs are the worst at reading a crowd that I've ever seen. They clearly don't know what direction to take the game. I spent over 300 hours grinding out the perfect gear and finally felt good and days later they nerfed my character so hard I lost easily 80% damage while more powerful builds got relatively untouched. The gameplay is extremely repetitive, grinding out the same tasks or dungeons over and over. And when I say they are the same I mean literally the same thing. Endgame is absolute garbage. I feel like an idiot for spending so much time and money on this game. Don't fall into the same trap. Please look for a game that respects your time and devs that won't nuke you back into the stone age for no reason what so ever one day while other classes were and continue to outperform. If I were to continue playing I would have legit anxiety that I would be mega nerfed for no reason out of no where.    … Expand

    The story is horrifically mid and riddled with pacing problems apart from a single kick-ass cutscene we saw half of in promo material.

    Class variation is horrifically stunted due to issues inherent on how the game calculates damage and every single build and class revolves around the same thing. Get crit as close to 100% and add crit damage and take everything you can and every skill you can to maintain as close to 100% vuln uptime as possible. Because these two stats are multipliers of your damage they will always be required.

    This means that any skill that applies vulnerability is insta slotted in at the cost of any real player choice. Would you like to play the game doing the most damage or play one handed in the name of “fun”.

    (With patch 1.1 the devs stated they wanted to leases the reliance on these stats by reducing their availability in scaling however completely missed the mark in addressing that when they are seperate sole sources of multipliers, they will always be reliant upon)

    There is an increasingly obvious ammount of missing QoL things. Things as simple as graphical indications of buffs and debuffs share exactly the same icons making it impossible to see at a glance what is what, glyphs, a system on the paragon board after level 50 suffers the same issue. One glyph will be completely different from another in its function but looks exactly the same graphically to 4 others making it annoying to find what you’re looking for and no search function.

    The same applies for gear. Which by the way the special unique equipment (which for the most part are not “build defining” as advertised pre launch) not only share a slightly different colour to other gear but share icons and most of the time actual models on your character. The open world is very reminiscent of an mmo-lite. However that’s where any resemblance of mmo-lite ends. There’s almost no social features, no group finder or anything you’d expect other than a superficial clan and friends list and a chat box no one uses. No trading and no dungeon grouping.    … Expand

    The latest patch has followed suite with what seems to be a general trend of Blizzard for this game: "if they're having fun we'd better patch it to cut that out.".

    Latest patch nerfs all classes, forces an ideology of glass cannon builds, and essentially punishes players for all of the work they've done this far. If Blizzard's reading this: GET YOUR SH!T TOGETHER!

    Menues are confusing, not my taste for an good looking UI and sometimes a nightmare finding back something.

    Story is ... not bad, but not the best. It has its moments, cutscenes are rly great, but the Logic and the progress is far behind what it could be.

    And the game itself?

    It feels incomplete to me. No Set items, rly less uniqes, no one remembers the name of the smithes in towns. I mean ... come on, everyone knows who is Headrig.
    The world feels empty, soul less, cold, but not in an creepy way, more like "i don't have fun doing this or that in here" way.
    To small personal chest, no build switch closet, rly to less level of difficulty, just 2 ... TWO perhaps rememberable bossmonsters ... all others ... i couldn't tell.

    Yeah you have an open World with always online thingy ... but ... this don't feel like diablo.
    It's just annoying "ah, look over there, my questmob ... is gone, ... by screendmg from character "4rsWhole5587" .... "

    The ingame shop is way to expensive for an uncompleted software like this.
    The battlepass don't give enough ingame currency to even buy one item ... you can't buy nothing with the currency from the battlepass, everything in shop costs more than you'll get.

    For me, Diablo V is for sure the dissapointment of the decade and rly for sure not worth any playtime in there.

    The game is incredibile repetitive, boring in the endgame. The skill's cooldown is the worst part of gameplay. Also the crafting system and itemisation are very poor and far away from that a true Diablo game deserve...all of this for a overpriced arpg with no fun in it. Well done

    Diablo 4, the much-anticipated sequel to a beloved franchise, promised a return to the dark and gritty world of demon-slaying and loot-hunting. However, beneath its flashy exterior lies a deeply flawed and unfulfilling experience that fails to deliver on its core promises. From broken loot distribution and crafting systems to irrelevant character stats, it's clear that the developers'Diablo 4, the much-anticipated sequel to a beloved franchise, promised a return to the dark and gritty world of demon-slaying and loot-hunting. However, beneath its flashy exterior lies a deeply flawed and unfulfilling experience that fails to deliver on its core promises. From broken loot distribution and crafting systems to irrelevant character stats, it's clear that the developers' primary objective is to hinder players' sense of progression, achievement, and, most importantly, fun.

    Loot distribution and the loot table in Diablo 4 are undoubtedly the Achilles' heel of the game. Players have been voicing their frustration across the internet, with one user on Metacritic stating, "The loot in this game is an absolute mess. I've spent hours grinding for loot, only to receive mediocre gear that does nothing to improve my character. It feels like a slap in the face to invest so much time and effort for no meaningful reward."

    Moreover, the in-game crafting system is equally infuriating. The costs associated with crafting items are beyond reasonable, leaving players feeling like they're constantly fighting an uphill battle for minimal gains. Another disappointed player wrote, "Crafting is an absolute joke. The materials required are absurdly expensive, and the chances of getting something valuable are almost nonexistent. It's as if the developers want to punish us for trying to improve our gear."

    One of the cornerstones of any ARPG is character progression and stats, but Diablo 4 manages to fumble this aspect spectacularly. Players have noticed that core character stats are broken, rendering certain builds useless or overpowered. As one disgruntled gamer put it, "It feels like the developers didn't even playtest the game. Some stats are so broken that they completely trivialize content, while others seem to have no effect at all. It's disheartening to see such a lack of balance and attention to detail."

    Resistance defenses, a critical aspect of character survivability, are particularly baffling in Diablo 4. Multiple players have reported that resistance stats seem to have little to no relevance in actual combat scenarios. One player's harsh review reads, "Why even bother with resistance stats when they don't seem to protect you from anything? It's infuriating to invest in a supposed defense mechanism only to be killed just as easily as if you hadn't bothered at all."

    Even the most recent patch for Diablo 4 has done little to address these fundamental issues. Instead of improving the overall experience, it seems the developers are more concerned with putting up barriers and roadblocks to hinder player progress and enjoyment. The general sentiment among players is that the developers are out of touch with the community's needs and desires, making the game feel like a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4's problems run deep, and it's difficult to overlook the broken loot distribution, the expensive and unrewarding crafting system, and the lack of relevance in core character stats. The developers' lack of focus on player enjoyment and progression is evident in the most recent patch, solidifying the sense that their main objective is to hinder players rather than create an engaging and rewarding experience. As a fan of the franchise, it's disheartening to witness the decline of a once-great series. Let's hope the developers take these criticisms to heart and work to salvage the essence of what made Diablo so beloved in the first place.    … Expand

    I can appreciate there are people reviewing this game with little to no comparison of other ARPGs or other games from the Diablo franchise. At face value, this can be a fun story to play through.

    Sadly, for all the fans who've been waiting years for this release and have witnessed the changes that were implemented into D3 to get it to where it is now, D4 is an absolute disappointment.

    There are far too many negatives to point out, so I will just say what I like about the game and let you ponder on what that leaves out.

    - The art design is lovely (Wouldn't go so far as to say the map design is nice, maybe adequate)
    - Having a mount is nice (Too bad you're likely going to be running the game at 10 fps)

    Virtually every other meaningful area of the game is lacking/sub par/improperly tested/purposely restrictive.

    A large patch for only 6 uniques that aren't even good.

    And an army of nerfs that nobody asked for, especially the poor Sorc players who have to witness as their already weak and underperforming class now perform even worse.

    Not to mention **** server stability and netcode, along with town stuttering, mount that moves like it is walking through molasses and other performance issues that will take them until Season 666 to fix one of them.

    Good thing for the deluxe edition players who have to pay them $100 for this garbage is that they can chose to activate the BP (yes, the $70 base P2P game has a BP and a skin shop) whenever they want. So they can chose to activate it until season 666 when this "patch" is reverted and Sorc finally gets buff.

Instead, they sit in echo chamber meetings to decide how THEY think this game should be changed to. This is why I am saying the game was released unfinished… they have made numerous game breaking changes since release. These changes should have been made during beta and before release. Instead, players grew attached to their play style and blizzard continues to change the state of the game (mostly through nerfs) and devalue the hard work many players have worked dozens of hours to achieve. In my case, I played the sorcerer to level 91. The sorcerer was ALREADY the weakest class dependent on specific mechanics to be even close to the lowest tier of all classes. Since the nerf, the gap between sorcerer and the other classes have widened. The DPS of the sorcerer was cut by 1/5 and survivability by at least 1/3. Recent patches targeted the mechanics that sorcerers were dependent on, now it feels like you are attacking with a wet noodle. Granted, all of my gear is close to BIS. Not even close to the next weakest class. This is a common issue with this class, and blizzard refuses to listen to the community. At this rate, this game will become unplayable. The game is truly beautiful and the mechanics were fun. Even though playing the weakest class (before patch 1.1) it was so much fun. Now that the class is nerfed to a point of being unplayable, it is truly frustrating that all the hours I poured in the game feels wasted. Here’s my warning to all: do not purchase this game, the early game mechanics will hook you in but the (continuous) end game changes will leave you dissatisfied and a company like blizzard have shown that they are unwilling to listen to the community. Whoever is in charge of community outreach should be replaced by someone that can be the bridge between the large player base and blizzard.

    * There's not really a single challenging or engaging boss fight in the whole game (except possibly Uber Lilith that I haven't done yet)
    * Leveling is a slow and boring slog
    * Renown is just a boring grind that you do once and end up exhausted after
    * Class balance is pretty terrible
    * Sorcerer has been rendered completely useless
    * Crafting is sub-par
    * Sigils are uninteresting    … Expand

    Game ends with campaign, 80€ up the ass. Waited season 1 to see what they would improve. It just went deeper.
    Haven't log in for the last 40 days.

    The season one patch took all the worst things about the game and made them worse. I had very low expectations and I'm still very disappointed. This is uncharacteristically out of touch, even for Blizzard who are known to make terrible patches

    It’s almost like Diablo 4 developers are consciously fighting against everything that made classic Diablo fun. [Issue#262, p.80]

    While the future of the game is anyone’s guess, at present Diablo IV is a solid, but strangely unambitious take that fails to bring much new to the table. By the end of my travels, I was more than willing to put it down and take a break — somewhere amongst all the grinding, Diablo IV had unfortunately ground me down as well.

    The best Blizzard launch in a long time and a worthy game to be called Diablo.
