    Having actually had fun playing a game after a long time and being psyched up for this season, the latest patch takes away everything that made the game actually fun. Looks like I'm going to be doing something else before Blizzard takes the stick out of their ass. I feel like the community resonates hard on what I said.

    To look at whether or not you will enjoy a game, you need to look at the fundamentals behind the game. Is it a game of love where the underlying metric is ensuring players enjoy playing the game? Does the company respect the player's time?

    To look at whether or not you will enjoy a game, you need to look at the fundamentals behind the game. Is it a game of love where the underlying metric is ensuring players enjoy playing the game? Does the company respect the player's time?

    In the case of Diablo 3, the fundamental metric that the team is targeting is "engagement".

    You might ask: "why is this bad? It's an ARPG, I want to be engaged."

    But the fact is, Blizzard doesn't care what type of engagement it is, they don't care if you're enjoying yourself, as long as you're playing, as long as you rack up the hours.

    And if you look at the game through that lens, every aspect, and every decision now makes sense.
    They will actively try and slow you down. They don't want you to burn through the (very little) end game content.
    They want to make sure you get as little reward as reasonable without you throwing up your hands and just outright quitting. It's a fine line, but they have the experience and data to straddle that line.

    And there lies the real fundamental problem with the game. And they have to do this, their shareholders DEMAND that they maximise profits, so they must treat the players like cows and milk us for as much of our "engagement" as possible, with as little content as possible.

    As for the game itself, it feels tedious, UIs are not good and need overhauls (for example more storage, easier tracking of side-quests and map stuff, only 20 items craftable at once?), at some point it can take hours for one item of gear to drop that is better than what you are wearing and much much more.

    Especially I can not recommend the current state of Diablo IV as the priority of updates and fixes seems to be to nerf various parts of the game (like unnecessarily extending the "leave dungeon" portal from 3 seconds to 5, so now your character just stands there idling for 2 seconds), some fixes even coming in on the same day but big requested changes by the community are not on the priority list. Additionally, the patch before the first season revealed their poor view of what actually needs dev-work and leaves a sour taste for upcoming content, patches or even fixes (in Blizzard fashion likely more nerfs to slow down progress).

    As a D2 Veteran I was very disappointed with D3 at launch and I'm sad to say that I'm even more disappointed with D4 at launch than I was with D3.
    Like others have said, the story is amazing but I recommend that you save your money until Blizzard fixes the myriad of issues that D4 has.

    Fun Nerfed

    Diablo 4 fails to live up to its legendary predecessors, primarily due to its lack of quality of life features and perplexing approach to gameplay balancing.

    The heart of Diablo's allure has always been the thrill of slaying hordes of demonic enemies, but in Diablo 4, this core experience is disappointingly diluted. Instead of facing formidable hordes, players encounter mere pockets of 3 or 4 monsters, robbing us of the epic battles we long for and leaving us yearning for the adrenaline-pumping chaos of past installments.

    The loot system, another pillar of the franchise, takes a significant hit in Diablo 4. Discovering compelling gear feels lackluster, as the majority of uniques and rare items are often underwhelming or outright useless. Obtaining uber uniques, the pinnacle of gear, feels like an unattainable dream for most players, leaving us disenchanted and longing for the joy of uncovering powerful items that define our builds.

    Adding to the disappointment is the limited storage space, exacerbated by the addition of gems, aspects, potions, and sigils, forcing players to choose between hoarding valuable items or making progress. Tedious inventory management hinders immersion in the game's world, rather than enhancing it.

    Character development suffers as well. Switching to a different build becomes an arduous task without a straightforward respec option, as players are left manually forgetting each node. This oversight demonstrates a disregard for player convenience and enjoyment.

    To make matters worse, any elements of fun or power that players discover are swiftly subjected to heavy-handed nerfs. Instead of embracing player enjoyment in mastering a particular playstyle or build, the developers suppress any sense of empowerment, leading to a frustrating sense of stagnation and discouragement.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4's lack of quality of life features and its tendency to obliterate anything enjoyable are disheartening aspects of a once-celebrated franchise. The absence of hordes of demons and the abysmal loot system dampen the excitement that once defined the series. Limited storage space and cumbersome character respec mechanics further contribute to the overall feeling of neglect towards player satisfaction.

    Blizzard had an opportunity to create a masterpiece that would captivate old and new fans alike. Instead, Diablo 4 stands as a cautionary tale of how a beloved franchise can falter when its core essence is disregarded. At its current state, the game is a far cry from its predecessors and leaves us longing for the glory days of the past. Until significant improvements are made, Diablo 4 remains a shadow of what it could have been, a sad reminder of how Blizzard killed the game.

This game, which had already exhibited a staggering lack of depth and quality, has now been further marred by unnecessary and exasperating nerfs. The endgame's slow pace, the monotonous loot, and the stark lack of social features glaringly underscore the game's mediocrity. Blizzard has effectively turned what could have been a grand gaming experience into a monotonous slog that leaves players, including myself, feeling cheated and disrespected.

    Instead of addressing these glaring issues, Blizzard chose to release a disastrous patch that indiscriminately weakens every aspect of the game. They've sucked the life out of the gameplay and have forced us, the once loyal players, to question the very logic of investing our time and emotions into Season 1. It's as if they've completely turned a deaf ear to the community's valid concerns and complaints.

    The addition of a mere six new uniques is not just insufficient, but outright insulting for a game in desperate need of more robust and interesting itemization. To add to our woes, essential features such as leaderboards and in-game trading remain glaringly absent. This level of oversight is unfathomable and is nothing less than a slap in the face of every player who believed in the game's potential.

    And as if to twist the knife, the game's pace has been further slowed down, the battles are now longer and more tedious, the experience gain has been reduced to a crawl, and we are confined to lower world tiers as if being punished for wanting more from the game we paid for.

    Blizzard's obsession with creating an imbalanced balance in a single-player PVE game is not just misguided but completely out of touch with what makes a game enjoyable. Their energies and resources, we, the players, feel, would have been much better spent on introducing engaging and immersive content.

    But as it stands, Diablo IV feels like a grand potential squandered, a beautiful idea ruined by apathy, and a monumental disappointment. The current state of the game is nothing short of a glaring testament to how not to treat a player base. It is an affront to every player who parted with their hard-earned money in the hope of an immersive and exciting gaming experience.

    I am not just disappointed but infuriated by the blatant disrespect this shows towards the community. The utter disregard for the players' feedback, the brazen indifference to the game's glaring flaws, and the audacious release of such a destructive patch has left me, and I am sure many others, absolutely livid. We deserve better. We paid for better. We were promised better. Blizzard has failed us, and it is high time they faced the consequences of their actions.

Game is bland and unfinished. So many issues to even describe it all here. Itemization is boring and bloated. Pathing issues everywhere on the map. Buggy quests, dungeons, and events. No stash space. Boring copy pasta dungeons, monsters and bosses. Patch 1.11 they took the community feedback and did literally the opposite. Season 1 release, if you're lucky enough to log in and not in an infinite que, you get hit by rubber banding and invisible walls everywhere. Loading into a new area or dungeon results in loading hang and you have to alt f4 and restart and jump back into que. When you get back in, don't bother trying to load into a new area because you get the same result. Blizzard support is nearly non-existent or completely useless. How does a season 1 release have so many more issues than both launch days?

    Honestly so disappointing, the game, how little ActiBlizz cares about it's fan base. It's amazing anyone even supports them anymore. Been playing blizzard games since I was 10 starting with OG startcraft, diablo and warcraft. Then into WoW, D2/LOD. This game doesn't even compete with D2/D2R.

    We found that many problems occurred on the players, so we decided to reduce the player’s playing experience through various changes in order to achieve the goal of reducing the total number of players. The following are examples of changes: We fixed the problem that the barbarians were too strong due to game errors, and let the barbarians return to their proper strength range; We found that players can always overcome challenges and defeat the ultimate boss, so we weakened many defensive attributes, and called players who choose the defensive style cowards; we received many players saying that magicians are weak compared to other classes, but we still saw that magicians can beat the ultimate boss, so we decided to continue to weaken magicians.

No connection to the community. At this point it feels like the game will need 6-8 months of development until its a AAA-GAME.

    I thought the patch notes were the worst part of season 1. It's the game itself. Do not buy. Do not trust the metacritic official ratings. The game is trash now. Worse than cyberpunk. Get it after a year.

    In a genre that has been for years improved by a small indie game called Path of Exile where you are constantly driven to farm resources or items of all kinds of rarity levels, you will join this game, enjoy the fancy graphics and realize blizzard has learned absolutely nothing about making a great arpg over the years.

    They no longer understand the genre they popularized. They are completely disconnected from their userbase and any hopes of them "keeping a big reveal for the first season" vanished sharply when the first big pre-season patch was released and leaving users asking...."really???"

    Hopefully the sharp loss of ratings and playerbase will result in Blizzard injecting more money and creativity in the product. If so, maybe in a few season the game will be worth revisiting. For now, it feels more like an Alpha trial than anything.

    Very Grindy, unrewarding game with boring items and builds. Blizz killed what little fun there was before the first season by slowing down skills, gameplay, and experience so that they could artificially keep players logged in and driven toward their seasonal microtransaction journey. Wish I could get a refund, as a long time fan of the series I DO NOT recommend!

    Way to less Mobs for a Hack and slay game. Over 120 dungeons and like 6-7 types of bosses. Gets repetive really fast. Almost no gear upgrades (found good items on level 70ish and kept them till level 90+ till i quit). Instead of listening to Feedback, Blizzard is just slowing down the game more and more. Disappointed after 2k hours Diablo 3 (left game before season 1 started).

The new rare Azurewrath sword has already dropped for me and, surprise surprise, there's no discernible difference over the gear it replaced.

Only to wake up one morning and see all my hard work completed nerfed to the ground. Not only that, Blizzard decided to make it even longer and worse, a game that already took a ton of time to get into the non-existent end game. The bottom line is to avoid this game and anything related to Blizzard. The old Blizzard is dead. These current Devs need to figure out what makes a game fun.

    - Nerfed XP gain in a game that already was a huge time sink to get to the end game.

    - Nerfed player power, both offensively and defensively, across the board made everyone weaker after spending hundreds of hours farming for gear, and just out of the blue, they made all our equipment irrelevant.

    - Nerfed Player enjoyment, reducing cooldowns so we can't use our abilities more.

    These are just a few dumb changes they made that no one asked for. But they completely ignored what we, the players, have asked for from the beginning to make the game more fun. These dev don't enjoy their own game.

There is no endgame content apart from one boss fight that gives no rewards and high level nightmare dungeons that still drop sacred items (LOL)!

    All in all, don’t bother. Blizzard will run this game into the ground in true Blizzard fashion. So many terrible things about the game, that the good things don’t even come close to outweighing them.

    An absolute gem. I've waited a long time for this title and it has not disappointed. Question is, will it have the replayability of 2 and last year's, or the replayability of 3 and last months. The recent patch was MUCH needed. People hit the level cap in days and that's not how Diablo works.

    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.
