    I didn't look up anything about this game before throwing $70 at it and now I feel ripped off.

    In fact, I've never purchased or played this game. Metacritic is **** stupid.

Yes I agree that some things needs to be nerfed, and I agree with nerfs like Vuln DMG (which was necessary for every build), but Devs are not thinking about what is fun and instead they are focusing on doing changes, while looking at a spreadsheet, that no one wants, like nerfing Cooldown Reduction - stat that makes the game more enjoyable. It just feels like the devs have not played this game at all, so out of touch of what people want. It's insane how many things should be in the game from start or at least should be a priority in patches, for example: stash space, build (paragon) slots, fixing resistances, group finder(!!!), in-game trading, buffing useless skills (like incinerate for Sorc or Druid companions), endgame content+rewards and many more.
    I don't know if there is any hope for this game, maybe in few years when devs will finally put their ego aside and stop saying that they better know what is fun for the players.

    All while ignoring the far bigger issue that drives dissatisfaction (like item management, quality of life, other viable builds, actual broken bugs, etc).

    Very out of touch of reality.

    Don't waste your time - you'll spend 100 hours trying to find the best things (while managing it horribly in their inventory management) only to have it rendered useless and now you have to spend more time finding mediocre loot and spend a lot of time and money unclicking all of the dots to try and find relevancy..

    How to alienate your player base 101. If any development team wants a master class of what not to do, look at the season 1 patch notes.

    The devs decided that the players were having too much fun and the only way to stop that was to do the following:
    Globally nerf Cooldown reduction so that it takes longer before anything happens on your screen
    Globally nerf defenses so that the monsters that were 1 shotting you now 1 shot you earlier
    Globally nerf sustain so that you become more reliant on hp pots when the classes were designed originally around having that sustain
    Globally nerf defensive skills that break you out of CC because peak gameplay is being frozen, stunned, feared, and dazed permanently until you die in diablo 4.
    Globally nerf damage output on all classes across the board because there is no actual end game content so they needed to slow players down before they reach the non-existent end game.

    Oh and if you love Sorc, jokes on you, the class may as well not exist. It was the worst class by far before season 1 patch and then was nerfed further. At this point it almost seems purposeful to ensure this dev team **** on sorc players as much as possible. If you want to play sorc, go necro. Simple as that.

    There's so much more to write but at this point I've put more thought and effort into this review than the entire d4 dev team did into season 1 patch notes.

    The latest patch ruined the game enough for me to make me register in Metacritic just to give it a 1 rating. Helltides is now more tedious with the nerf on mystery chests and the low cinder drop rates. I'm shutting it down until after season 3. Should have just waited for the new POE instead of paying 80 USD for this crap.

While some balancing was needed, their development team ended up providing very little positive improvements and made far too many negative changes to the community at one time. It feels like the Blizzard teams failed to test or get feedback from the community. Can they turn this around in the near future? remains to be seen.

    The bad:

    -Very low enemy density
    -Dungeon mechanics designed to make you backtrack through them.
    -generator/spender skill system in which the generators are incredibly weak and lackluster requiring 5 wet noodle attacks to do use 1 spender skill, similar to being level 6 in diablo 2, using normal attack because you are out of mana constantly.
    -Very zoomed in camera that cannot be changed even though a camera with a more relaxed zoom exists when you use the mount.
    -Leveling is a slog, similar to level 90+ in diablo 2, but every level, just a very even walk through a swamp of molasses.
    -Very limited mobility in general, hard to get faster run walk affixes on items.
    -Endless interruptions on gameplay to slow you down, barricades in roads so you have to dismount, and then a cooldown so you cannot just remount, etc.
    -Most items are very weak upgrades of whatever you had before, endless yellow pant comparison simulator.
    -Legendaries are not exiting to get, never did i get an item and feel the immediately thrill of a great find.
    -Uniques do not appear until the 3rd difficulty, they are rare, and most are not particularly useful.
    -Constant crowd control from the enemies will leave you stuck in place and killed constantly in higher difficulties, no way to escape being frozen, webbed, etc for 10 secs or more.
    -lack of character model options for all characters, if you want to make a fat necro, you cant.
    -purposely annoying town layout, be ready to walk a lot to go from one shop to the next, only to be stopped by hard to see walls,etc.

    The good:
    -The campaign is the best so far in the diablo series, some poor writing towards the end though.
    -Great cgi movies, but only 2 of them.

    ----------------

    Since launch the developers have continued to make the game slower in general, increasing time to use scrolls, effectively incresing cooldown times, etc.

    It seems they want to increase total played hours per month, and not increase the fun one gets from the game.

    I regret my purchase.

It had an engaging story, compelling voice acting, and solid gameplay. Players grumbled here and there about quality of life and inter- and intra- class balance, but we thought the game was mostly there. There was always a small minority of people that claimed that the game had a serious endgame problem, in that there wasn’t one. Most just shrugged them off, thinking “of course you’re going to get bored if you hit endgame in one week.”

    However, as more and more people reached the endgame, we realized that there definitely was a problem. Player power spikes three times in the entire game. The first, getting all ancestral gear and imprinting good aspects, is easy to get and gives the most power. The second, finding good/max rolls on random yellows, offers a disproportionately small power boost for how long it takes. The final power spike, getting ultra rare legendaries, is more likely to happen than being struck by lightning. Not to mention that, as you grind and level up, you become relatively weaker thanks to the level scaling. It’s a very offputting concoction of demotivation to play. Still, we had hope! The community had been talking and talking about potential ways to improve the endgame loop, and we all eagerly waited for the 1.1 patch. And then it came. Blizzard’s solution to the endgame problem was not to improve the endgame, but to slow down the entire game. Longer cooldowns and less damage all around. With this patch, Blizzard doubles down on keeping players playing not through excitement, but instead through tedium.

    I played Diablo 2 for a decade, and what kept me playing for so long, after so many years without any new content was how much fun it was to explore new builds, and treasurer hunt. Second to this was the fun in trading rare drops to rapidly gear other characters and explore those builds across different characters. Third was the experience of joining games and helping other players.

    I play the sorcerer and my experience has been that the way Diablo 4 is designed makes me feel like none of those things are an option. Character builds are restrictive, trading doesn't exist, and the treasurer hunt doesn't exist.

    I'll elaborate on that build restriction and the treasurer hunt. Items and damage output scale incredibly linearly in the game. There's never a massive damage increase for finding a rare unique, because they simply don't exist. Everything is frustratingly incremental.

    This is further exacerbated by how much spell damage is tied to items. In diablo 2 you could increase your damage by investing points heavily into skills. You could diversify your play style on your own terms. Items served as a way of intensifying those choices.

    Diablo 4 requires that in order to diversify your play style you must first "unlock" the right to do it by finding the right aspects at the right quality, which depending on how often you play may never happen.

    You can't run a build at an un optimal damage output or at a trade off such as defense. This is again exacerbated by how the game forces the sorcerer to play in melee range to maximize damage output because of the reliance on the vulnerability mechanic that is hard signed to the Frost Nova skill. This is a double dip on skill selection. You cannot run a build with out vulnerability, and you cannot ignore defensive stats in favor of a glass cannon play style because of it. So you are forced to use skill slots on even more defensive skills to push through even the mid game. As so much damage output potential is tied to defensive ability, but at the cost of build diversity.

    All this would be fine if you could more easily boost your damage potential to mitigated the defensive requirements. Which leads me back to why the treasurer hunt is so boring. You don't find much that will rapidly boost your damage potential. It's all incremental and quite frankly boring. The treasurer hunt doesn't exist not because things don't drop, but when they do it is almost meaningless. You just barely stay ahead of the curve through the entire game. Not only that, but you constantly have to swap gear out for marginally better equipment which becomes annoying and tedious.

    You don't enhance your build with items, you look for items to even begin to see a build. And then when you find items, you maybe be SOL if you find something with the right stats, but the wrong aspect. So now you have to grind to find the right aspect to imprint on the item that has the optimal stats and that new item with the optimal stats just sits there unusable until you do.

    Talk about taking the wind out of your sails.

    I don't think there's anything that can save this game for me. I think the fundamental design is broken.

The way the game has been handled by blizzard since the release has been messy at best. Continuous nerfs to various abilities and farming methods was very frustrating, though some things legitimately needed to be hotfixed, but the latest patch not fixing ANY of the numerous core issues plaguing the game and instead instating even more nerfs is extremely confusing.

    Who ever is making decisions about patch priorities should be reassessed. We (mostly) tend to play video games to have fun and the long list of hotfixes and this recent patch have active removed this element from the game. Why would anyone play something that is no longer fun?

    Server Lag is horrible. There is a known memory leak that still remains unfixed that causes frequent game crashes. The effectiveness of many builds were destroyed and there is no compensation for all the players that now have to reassess and rebuild their characters since the issue of respeccing/ cost is still unaddressed.

    There is much more that can be discussed but it seems to fall on deaf ears with blizzard.

    TLDR; I do not recommend this game in its current state. The ratio of enjoyment to frustration is too high.

    I have no idea what this game is trying to be. Never in my life have I seen a worse patch. Not only that, but releasing a patch like this before the most important (first) season of your new video game is incredibly stupid. None of the issues that people have talked about were fixed or changed. Nothing about stash tabs, the bad itemization, overly expensive build respec costs (and how long it takes to respec), item reroll cost, buffing weak builds like whirwlnd in higher tiers or the terrible necro summoner. Just a patch about nerfing the entire game before the season, when it was already boring to begin with.

    For now I'll not participate in this game but will keep an eye on the news to see if they change it for the better. Blizzard does not respect your time. It's best if I don't log in because that's the only metric they understand.

    And then, I caved. A couple of my kids picked up D4 and had some amazing things to say. It had been two years since I'd even opened Battle.net. But, I went for it. And, to my surprise, while things were not perfect, I loved it! The graphics, the story, the attention to small details, most of it was truly amazing. And, it seemed as though the development team was listening to the users about the issues and future directions that would make the game more fun.

    How wrong I was. Nothing has changed. This Blizzard is not, and never will be, the Blizzard that understands its gaming audience and seeks to make the best game it can. This Blizzard, rather, is the one that wants to find every possible way to squeeze every penny it can from it's "asset". They've clearly adopted a profit-over-player mentality. If you're wondering what all the fuss is about, here's the scoop. Blizzard released the game with what they felt was too much power in the hands of the players. Their content was being conquered too easily for their liking.

    The appropriate way to fix this? CREATE NEW, MORE CHALLENGING CONTENT.

    This could have kept the players engaged and been a huge win. Add another tier of content, or another chapter to the campaign. Create a more challenging pile of content for those players creating the great builds. Hell, I realize this is a lot of work, so in the interim, just toss in a couple new seriously difficult bosses for players to work toward conquering. Just give us new challenges. But instead, Blizzard decided the best thing was to take away our toys and tools for meeting these challenges.

    Blizzard's response was a massive nerf across the board of player power. No content actually changed. Nothing was added to make the game more enjoyable, more engaging. But power was nerfed, speed of progression was nerfed, speed of acquiring gear was nerfed. So, the same exact content, but now all the builds people had been working toward, milestones they'd achieved, were all set back, and everything was made more work, more difficult.

    Just, wow. How a game developer could be SO out of touch with it's players is just unreal. The real Blizzard is dead, so I'm going to retire my Battle.net client once and for all.

    As is, the game is really a zero, but I'm giving 2/10 because I honestly truly enjoyed the campaign and the state of the game before the patch. I was leveling, enjoying reaching milestones in the build I was creating. And then, BAM. It's like I was set back from 80 to 50, even though my character was still level 80. And now getting back to the same level wasn't even possible, and working toward getting as close as possible would take much, much longer. No thanks. I play games to have fun, a privilege for which I'd happily pay. But Blizzard thinks they need to hold my attention by just making everything I do take longer. Yeah, no. Bye.

    The complaints can go on and on. This was not the right direction for the game. The whole purpose of this patch was to slow down the game. Slow it down for players don't realize there is no end-game content. What is the goal of Diablo 4? Nightmare Dungeon 100? Uber Lilith? Once you complete either one, then what? PvP? PvP is a total mess. Rogues running around rampant.

    Any power the game gave you before Patch 1.1 .0a. was taken away to make you do less damage to creeps, have higher cooldowns, have less damage from creeps, and take longer to level up. If this nerf was done because of the new season then this is a terrible implementation of the patch for anyone who plays the eternal realm. All their time and dedication to the game is gone.

    It is disrespectful to player time and effort to blatantly take away all their efforts in one broad stroke then turn around and ask us for more. More time, more shifting of our builds, more grinding at a slower pace for less reward while you preach to us about how malignant hearts will save us all.

    I'm over it as a long term player since D1, perhaps I'm too old to go for blatant BS anymore but I did NOT GET what I paid for and I won't pay another dime to fix something that the developers clearly will continue to break. Blizzard is truly dead. I hope Microsoft buries it after the takeover. The old school nostalgia is not enough to super glue and duct tape together this absolute **** show of a company.

I played Destiny 2, I am familiar with being letdown constantly and watching a game you enjoy become a live service toxic money grab. I didn't think I would witness that same thing so quickly with Diablo 4. I get it, the overwhelming majority of game companies want money far more then they want a happy player base. I guess I had hoped that Blizzard realized that was nonviable long term. Yet here we are. Maybe come revisit this game in a year or so.

    With patch 1.1, all classes were nerfed... even the already weakest class was hit this time, and not just lightly! The Sorceress was nerfed to unplayability. Increasing the cooldowns and minimizing the armor, even though the developers are aware that the resistance system on which the class is built is currently broken, is the height of absurdity. I can only imagine what kind of conversation about the Sorceress took place at Blizzard:
    Head of Development: Hey? Is that **** sorceress finally dead?
    Head of Balancing: Well, I think so? We buried her.
    Head of Development: But she still has quite a lot of followers! Take care of it!
    Head of Balancing: Okay, we'll dig her up again, and burn everything thats left! Just to be sure!

    Either the developers are completely oblivious to their own game mechanics or it's a deliberate action to slow down players and generate longer playtime per player to improve the statistics (KPI). Instead of finally creating decent endgame content, they simply stretch the path to the endgame indefinitely, so the lack of content isn't noticed as quickly.

    Diablo 4에 대한 솔직한 리뷰를 해보자면 게임 초반에는 괜찮아 보이지만 점차 지루해집니다. 디아블로2의 경우에는 레벨링과 파밍 즉 성장해가며 템맞추고 타직업 템도 나와서 팔거나 부캐 키울때 써먹기도 하는 등 지속적인 재미가 있었는데 디아블로4는 아무리 레벨업을해도 몬스터도 아이템도 똑같은 레벨로 맞춰지는데 무슨 생각으로 이런 허접한 레벨스케일링을 했는지 이해할 수가 없다. 그리고 대부분 아이템이 거래도 안되서 좋은 아이템이 나와도 설레임이 없다. 이 넗은 맵에 등장몬스터는 항상 똑같음. 망령, 염소인간이 전 맵에 걸쳐 있음. 최종 게임에서 아무 것도 할 게 없음. 시리즈 중 최악의 디아블로Diablo 4에 대한 솔직한 리뷰를 해보자면 게임 초반에는 괜찮아 보이지만 점차 지루해집니다. 디아블로2의 경우에는 레벨링과 파밍 즉 성장해가며 템맞추고 타직업 템도 나와서 팔거나 부캐 키울때 써먹기도 하는 등 지속적인 재미가 있었는데 디아블로4는 아무리 레벨업을해도 몬스터도 아이템도 똑같은 레벨로 맞춰지는데 무슨 생각으로 이런 허접한 레벨스케일링을 했는지 이해할 수가 없다. 그리고 대부분 아이템이 거래도 안되서 좋은 아이템이 나와도 설레임이 없다. 이 넗은 맵에 등장몬스터는 항상 똑같음. 망령, 염소인간이 전 맵에 걸쳐 있음. 최종 게임에서 아무 것도 할 게 없음. 시리즈 중 최악의 디아블로

    Game was fun at launch. Blizzards constantly took away the fun by nerfing what worked and what players loved. Do not buy the game

    The new update is terrible, the season pass sucks and looks more for pay to win instead of pay to fun. Also the servers was down many times for 3-4 weeks. They need to balance it and make the things better.

    Once again the devs show how little they think of the sorcerer class. Years of D3 hate until literally the last season, and now I expect at least another 8 years of hate. The class has traditionally always been a glass cannon - they kept the glass but forgot the cannon. It's laughable how little damage they do compared to other classes.

    Oh, not just the gameplay but the cosmetics for

    Oh, not just the gameplay but the cosmetics for them is easily the worst, as well. Everything is pigeon holed into a single build type and it's just not satisfying.

    **** for D3 fans. It has nothing to do with great D2. Two hours of boring play and… wasted money!

    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.
