    It is a scam, they require players buy a beta game, and then make it trashy for the first season to force players leave the game.

    Complete waste of money. Game is full of bugs and instead of fixing those bugs, they're just removing the fun content. Making you do the same thing over and over and over and over... again until forever for no fun at all.

    Patches nerfed the fun out of the game. The time it takes to get to end game, doubled. The power and ability of characters to do high end content, severely decreased. Instead of adding more things to do, they made it slower to get to the end, and they made it more tedious to do anything in the end.

    Diablo 4 was great but Devs destroyed their game with patch 1.1. We all spend many hours developing our characters to have the best stats. Now after the patch they nerfed every major stat for every character. Feels like I wasted the past month playing this game.

    This game have not been created by the devs that love Diablo and gaming. It is done by greedy corporate devs that only want money. It is done to squeeze money form you. 100 Euro for a game that is not finished and full of micro transactions (Battle pass). On the box there should be a sticker "No fun allowed". They nerfed xp so that you would spend more time with the Battle pass.

    You basically take everything that players are asking for, put it in a nice list, and then throw it all in the trash and do the complete opposite. You just don't listen. Don't care. You have our money and we got a broken, unbalanced, messed up game. I play a sorc too, and you just keep defiling it further.

    Good:
    -Nice graphics, proper aesthetic.

    Bad:
    -Every zone is copy/pasted, and looks EXACTLY the same. You NEVER feel like you're anywhere different.
    -Every town looks exactly the same.
    -Every town has a 50-mile radius around it, where you cant run with the crap horse until you're outside of said radius.
    -Game is full of bugs. Endless endless bugs.
    -Game has major memory leak that people have reported since the first beta, and is still not fixed.
    -Game has persistent sound-bug issue where the voiceover will become bugged with echos and weird dungeon effects applied to dialog, and then never goes away. Not with a reinstall, or anything. Reporting it for months gets no reponse, either.
    -Characters are unbalanced beyond words. Tuning them results in ruining them, versus improving them.
    -Forced MMO & forced online only play, but then has zero MMO features and nothing of convenience for your forced-experience. You can't even chat with the world, outside of Trade, and they STILL HAVENT ADDED A GLOBAL CHAT. As if this is so unbelievably difficult.
    -QoL and conveniences from past games have been just, completely left out of this one.
    -Zoom on character is so uncomfortably close it makes you feel weird, and you refuse to add option to zoom out further. It's obvious it can be done, because it's done on horse, and for world bosses, or higher peaks in land. Will you ever address it? Nope.
    -What year does it need to be when we are able to party with more than just 4 people like this is a LAN party or pure-console game? I play on PC. In diablo 2, I could have 8 people in a group. This is so utterly annoying and old.
    -No room in stash, and can only buy 4 stash tabs. You know perfectly well adding the ability to purchase more is as easy as your ability to nerf %'s on a spreadsheet that controls the game. Just stop.
    -Can't simply just 1v1 your friend if you want, must go to FoH and then risk others coming in and ruining your dueling and trolling, and since you can't request to duel outside of FoH.... this is just rudimentary.
    -Mount is practically unusable, between having to stop every 10 seconds to climb a cliff, it can barely walk 1 foot forward without hitting every single solitary piece of terrain that there is.
    -Every single dungeon is a copy/paste of another. All of these dungeons, yet I haven't been in a single one that has felt different from the next. They literally took the shell of one, and then made it "icy", then copy/pasted it, and made it not icy, then copy/pasted it, and switched the pathways around. It's pathetic.
    -If you want any actual updates you're forced to follow these clowns personal accounts on Twitter. So if you want game updates you gotta see PezRadar shirtless and pictures/stories about his "gains journey", and whatever else, instead of actually using or communicating on the forums where everybody is, asking for some acknowledgment. If they don't like your comment on twitter, they block you. Rob Ferguson is the worst. He's 80 years old, and takes everything personally. Has no idea what this generation of gamers wants, he's just another slob like Jay Wilson, telling people what they want because "he knows" and we dont.
    -Because they have no end game, or anything else actually fun in the game to do, they made leveling and progression even slower and more miserable, then proceeded to gatekeep the world tiers. Why? No reason, other than to just do the exact opposite of majority-ask and make it more miserable. You know, cause helping friends level up so you can play together is so blasphemous.
    -Did I mention the items/itemization is absolutely and utterly horrendous? It's so bad. It's so stupid. 500 useless dumb buckets of things and then the comparison thing, don't even get me started. It feels like a special-education team came up with some of these concepts.
    -Item drops: they're trash. They're all trash. And, if you're a cold sorc and you want gear for.... a cold sorc... you aren't getting it. You're getting 90% gear for fire/light. So you literally find the opposite of your build, 90% of the time. It's on purpose too. Odds don't work that terribly.

    Games are supposed to bring joy, and fun. The only thing this game does is genuinely infuriate me while playing it, and the experience is miserable. I'm not sure how I even lasted this long. But I feel absolutely zero joy from this game. It feels like a job, not a break *from* my job. Everything's a copy/paste with minor alterations, including the cosmetics. LOL, explain why the sorc has FOUR of the same exact helmets with small differences like a string, or a barely noticeable color change?

But hardly any builds could tackle the premier endgame content (tier 100 nightmare dungeons and the pinnacle boss). So I assumed that, with the upcoming patch and the launch of season 1, that there would be significant buffs across the board in order to increase the number of viable endgame builds. I also assumed that there would be quality of life changes and that the devs would make the game faster and and more fun (since at this point players are repetitively leveling and doing quests and dungeons that they have already done many times while playing previous characters).

    Sadly, Blizzard's devs do not seem to actually play the game. So exp gains have been nerfed, armor has been nerfed, reduction of damage done to players has been nerfed, and all of the previously-viable endgame builds have been nerfed. Instead of giving weak abilities significant buffs in order to increase build diversity, they just nerfed the previously-viable abilities so that now they are as weak as all the non-viable abilities. There are no quality of life changes that players have been asking for. Instead, the game has actually been made much more slow and tedious. The only things that were buffed are inconsequential memes and actually feel like some sort of bad joke. The sorcerer class as a whole is now completely nonviable for endgame content.

    Blizzard wants players to buy the battle pass and create new characters for season 1, but why would anyone want to create a new character only to experience the following frustrations:

    1) Playing slower. The devs nerfed cooldown reduction on items because too many people were utilizing it. So instead of using common sense and realizing that the base cooldowns of skills were far too long, forcing players to stack cooldown reduction on items so that their characters don't have to stand around and wait (which isn't fun and no one wants to do in a fantasy video game), these genius devs instead decided to make items have less cooldown reduction on them and make the game slower and more frustrating for players.

    2) Gaining exp slower. It took me over 200 hours to reach level 100 the first time around. Why would anyone want a patch that makes leveling up even slower and more painful when a new season is starting and everyone is creating new characters do go through the same leveling and questing experience that they've already played through on their original characters? Seasonal players have already leveled up and quested before, so each season should make the redundant leveling up and questing for new characters faster and easier instead of slower and more painful. But these genius devs seem to be thinking that if they just make leveling up slower and more painful for everyone, that no one will notice the lack of any new fun endgame content. Well, everyone noticed.

    3) Dying all the time. Apparently players weren't dying enough in the endgame (where ranged mobs can often one-shot you from offscreen with a projectile that moves so fast that it is impossible to react to, which is a horrible game design and a horrible player experience). So the devs in their infinite wisdom decided to nerf player armor and nerf the reduction of damage to players, for unclear reasons. And since season 1 utilizes new items that are placed in jewelry slots, these nerfs are superimposed on everyone already losing 750 armor due to not being able to use the 3 royal skulls which had previously been in their jewelry slots. So now everyone gets to constantly get one-shot in the endgame even more than before. Sure, you've grinded for hundreds of hours and now have a max level character with BIS gear and an optimal build, but the Blizzard devs think you deserve to feel as weak as a wet piece of tissue paper in the endgame.

    4) Killing everything more slowly. Player damage was overall nerfed across the board. So now you can't kill things you used to be able to kill, and what you are still able to kill takes twice as long to kill as it did before. This is literally the opposite of fun.

    5) Using the same builds as before. The only buffs are completely insignificant and inconsequential, but all of the viable builds were heavily nerfed. So the devs didn't add any build diversity, they just turned the few builds that were previously viable into crap that is nearly as nonviable as all the other builds. People will still use the same builds, it's just that everything sucks now.

    6) Playing the same class you've already played. People won't want to play season 1 because now that everything is nerfed and weak there is no reason to try a character of a different class. And the sorcerer class is just completely dead and nonviable now; only completely ignorant new players would ever create a sorcerer character at this point.    … Expand

    I could break even in kills against a Rogue taking advantage of the poison damage bug or a Druid with a near permanent barrier, but now they just win every match every time due to the massive dip in damage I can do and damage I can take.

    - Build experimentation at the end game is highly discouraged by making it extremely time consuming with an extreme gold cost. It costs nearly 25 Million gold to undo a Paragon board, and you have to manually undo all 225 paragon points if you're going completely fresh.

    - The formula for calculating damage in the game is heavily reliant on having critical hit damage and vulnerable damage, with all other forms of damage boost being treated the same because they're added together so long as their condition is met.

    - The damage formula makes itemization rely on very specific stats to even be viable in the end game.

    - A lot of the game is waiting to engage, which has only gotten worse with the cooldown reduction stat being cut by 30%.
    Too many classes have certain defensive abilities which are required to be active in order to survive basic combat.

    - The rarity of good items combined with aspects having perfect rolls adds another layer of restriction of experimenting with new builds. If you don't have an aspect to reapply to your item if your experiment doesn't pan out, you're either stuck with a weaker build or stuck playing your current build until you can find an aspect to reapply.

    - Getting loot doesn't feel good.
    Unique items on Barbarian are ranked by their vendor sale value.
    Legendary items don't automatically mean you're going to find something with great stats.
    You have to scan nearly every Ancestral yellow item that drops to make sure you don't accidentally sell off or destroy something that actually rolled well.
    Without a way to filter loot to what you specifically want or need, you waste a lot of time just looking at items that 95% of the time you're going to throw away.

    The game doesn't respect your time. It's not midcore friendly.    … Expand

    This game could have been great.
    All they had to do was listen to community feedback and give the players what they want.
    Instead, once again just like early Diablo 3, they want to tell us how to play their game and that we are the ones wrong.

I’ve played D1-3, been a fan for decades, but should have known blizzard today is not blizzard of my formative years. I actually own Activision Blizzard stock, from long enough ago I believed in the company. Anyway, let’s talk game play…
    I played in all the betas - which were more like alpha testing. Game launched and already things had changed enough that the classes I enjoyed were not as much fun.
    After launch I had to change my build multiple times due to patches and shadow nerfs (seriously, these patch notes are terrible, no wonder your code is full of bugs). And respeccing is TERRIBLE. It is so unwieldy to change because of how many points and how terrible gear itemization is that when forced to respec IT FEELS LIKE WORK. Actually that’s a theme my husband and I experienced a lot this past month; this game feels like WORK in a way D3 never did.
    And the hits keep on coming.
    What the actual fart are these devs thinking with these huge, blanket nerfs? Why did I login after a patch and suddenly lose 10 levels of content completion ability?
    Do not give these jokers your money.
    They haven’t fixed any of the bugs I dutifully reported after paying for the privilege to do their QA testing for them. There are still RAM leaks; the code is bloated and takes up a ridiculous amount of space on your hard drive. A patch with what seems to be limited content was TEN GIGS. What the what, curse your eyes, devs! Whoever decided engagement metrics were more important than PLAYERS FEELING LIKE HEROES - WHICH WE DO NOT - should be fired, immediately.
    They clearly have ZERO LESSONS LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS LAUNCHED OF THE SAME TITLE, not to mention this game is missing TONS of quality of life improvements that D3 has, and don’t get me started on the stash space; 4 tabs, gems use slots, shared across characters? You want us to be creative and make new builds but don’t even give us the space to collect gear to experiment! No way to save builds for easy switching? MANUALLY SINGLE CLICKING TO UNSPEND EACH PARAGON POINT ONE BY ONE?! Horses that seem to have no horse shoes; rubberbanding on the map; game freezes at world boss; server lag that makes you lose your helltide cinders; RAM leaks and CPU cores overheating; the list goes on and on and on.
    You get one point because the game is pretty and the story didn’t suck.

    The Season 1 patch makes leveling up, and finding loot, 2 to 3 times more difficult. I'm not sure why this was done, if it's to draw out the amount of time people spend in the game, I feel like it will backfire and more players will get fed up with the tedium and quit instead.

If you get bored and try to play a new build, well that's too bad because it's going to cost you two hours of your time spent playing Inventory Manager 4. If you want to reroll your gear, well that's too bad because it's going to cost you fifteen minutes if you're lucky, upwards of DAYS if you're unlucky.

    ARPG players are always going to try to find the most efficient build, the hardest hitting build, the speedfarm build. Yet if you land in the crosshairs of Blizzard nerf hammer and wish to respec, well you're just going to be out 2 hours of YOUR time. Blizzard loves to publish how many hours people are spending on Diablo 4 but really from what I see in the gameplay mechanics, Blizzard is intentionally slowing players down in the game to farm those hours out of us.

    This game as it is right now is a tedious, annoying chore. I encourage you to skip out and check back in a year or so if Diablo is still alive. There are many other games worth playing where the development teams behind the game don't hinder your progress with annoying mechanics and nerfs and instead actually challenge you in interesting ways.    … Expand

    Hey Diablo/Blizzard, I need my refund, This isn't fun at all, I have a life to go to and better use of my $70, Baldur's Gate 3 seems to be a far better investment

    no end game content, don't waste your time. Developers communicate 1 thing and do another.

    Damn where do I start. Hi, you can call me K. I'm 37 years old and I've been playing ARPG's since the early days of Diablo 1 and of course Ultima VII. I grew up having Diablo 2 LAN parties in my basement with my friends where my Mom would make us pizza, and we would descend into the depths of Hell having a grand ol' time.

I'm 37 years old and I've been playing ARPG's since the early days of Diablo 1 and of course Ultima VII. I grew up having Diablo 2 LAN parties in my basement with my friends where my Mom would make us pizza, and we would descend into the depths of Hell having a grand ol' time. Sadly, Diablo 4, after a smooth launch, just absolutely destroyed their game with this new patch. And I'm going to explain exactly WHY they did this.

    Diablo 4's latest patch has everything to do with destroying the Eternal Realm. Yes, the Eternal Realm may seem "less important" because it won't feature these cool seasonal mechanics that we're supposed to enjoy, but, you can't access, you guessed it: The Battle Pass, in the Eternal Realm.

    Big shocker right?

    When you start to think logically that all of these "game designs and mechanics" were built around a corporate "for profit" scheme, you will understand that the Blizzard that used to exist, is simply a corpse that has been exploded by the greedy Millionaire/Billionaire Necromancer's, that prop up this corpse of a company.

    They sucked the soul out of this game, which actually had a solid foundation, and only needed a few solid tweaks to really solidify it's future, however, these corporate idiots cannot comprehend that empathizing and understand your player base over making disgusting greedy decisions isn't possible.

    Why else would they reduce cooldown reduction by 30%? It's arguably the most important nerf in this new patch. If you can't reset your cooldowns fast enough, you can't use your skills faster, ultimately, slowing down the game and progress you would've made in the game.

    Why else would they reduce damage reduction by 25%, and completely gut the Aspect of Disobedience, the best defensive aspect in the game? It's the exact same concept, you die more, so it ultimately takes LONGER to get best in slot gear, and reach late endgame content.

    Speaking of endgame content, there is none. This is why they are making these changes. It's why they tried to sneak in capstone dungeon level caps of 40 and 60 without telling us.

    It's why they ultimately giga nerfed power leveling, boosting, and group leveling as a whole. Honestly, they just nerfed leveling and XP in general, because they understand that there's not enough content at the end of the game for you to enjoy.

    They want to keep you in the game as long as possible, so you have the most amount of expose to the battle pass, and the more time you're in the game, the more time you will be exposed to the battle pass, and more likely to spend money on cool look cosmetics for weapons, armor or your horse.

    They shadow nerfed several passives from x    … Expand

    Please tell me when these nerves of players will end? I come tired after work, I play for 2-3 hours, now it will take me 35 minutes to pass the nightmare seal of level 55, what nonsense do you not appreciate the time of most players, less than 1% of players have passed the nightmare seal of level 100, because of them it is not necessary to strengthen the nightmare seal so much... think ofPlease tell me when these nerves of players will end?

    I was worried that I wouldn't have time to play both D4 and Baldur's gate 3. These changes are of great help to me. Thanks blizzard, I choose Baldur's gate 3 :)    … Expand

    Congratulations on somehow managing to kill off every excitement in the playerbase about the future on this game. This has definitely been the worst first major patch a game has ever received.

    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.
