    The patch had only one effect making me return to PoE making me regret having abandoned it for these 5 weeks and making me wait even more hype for the presentation of PoE2.
    As for WOW, Diablo 4, personally, is done with me too... they will be able to release all the seasons and DLCs they want but the point is that by now we can no longer trust Blizzard and that band of developers who after this patch have shown that they have never played the game they developed themselves.
    I strongly advise against the purchase and save the money that it is not really worth it. GG BLIZZARD    … Expand

    trash farming and salvaging simulator with atrocious user interface, nonexistent social features (for a game with mmo elements) and headless direction from developers who probably didn't even try to play their own game past very poorly told campaign story

    Diablo4 development team works really hard to make the game boring. Rather than buffing other builds, they decided to make every build bad in order to get to the 'balance'. I was a Blizzard fan, spent countless time on their game, but Diablo4 will be my last Blizzard game and never trust Blizzard again in my life.

    Diablo 4 is one of the most boring arpg with paper thin depth. With stupid design decisions like aggresive level scaling and only 5 skill slots, your experience from level 20-100 remains the same.
    Basically the entire game revolves around, press "basic" skill to get mana, press "core" skills to spend mana, everything else is mostly buffs, so you are using the same 2 attacks all the way.

    If you try any other way like inserting 3 dps, you will your efficiency drop by a lot even on low levels.
    The devs so self indulgent that they start spouting **** like build variety, which is total bs. There's about 2 builds probably that can be used till endgame, and some classes probably 1.
    The side quests are so bottom tier fetch quests, which are, "go here kill 3 monsters or pick 3 things, and return"

    There are quite a number of issues that plague the game that needed to be fixed, but imagine the devs is so out of their mind they didnt fix any of them and added "teleporting out from the dungeon now take 5 secs instead of 3"...... who in the right mind even thought of this?

    They nerfed the hell out of "cooldown reduction" because they saw so many people are using it... do they even understand why so many people are using it??? Because waiting for cooldowns for 10 secs and then doing 3 attacks and waiting for cooldown again is NEVER fun. And so what they did? They remove the "fun".

    I bought D4 because my last arpg was Diablo 2, and I was excited for a new one with the premise that they have learn from the mistakes of D3. But never again, remember guys, Blizzard is dead, the one making the game are no longer the same people with same vision. It's a group of self indulgent people thinking that they know everything better than you and will not listen to criticism.

    Play Wolcen, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn, or Path of Exile, they are all miles better, yes, even Wolcen is much better. The only positive things about D4 is the art style, music, and cinematics, everything else is boring trash.    … Expand

    It's just not fun at all. The pricing of monetization is absurd, especially for how boring the cosmetic are. The gameplay loop is slow, monotonous and not even remotely fun. The balance team doesnt know wtf they're doing, with wide sweeping nerfs and justification that makes absolutely zero sense.
    Diablo 3 is better and I didnt think that was possible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truth be told, I don't even have much of a problem with non-P2W microtransactions, because I have to accept reality that AAA online PvP multiplayer on Playstation will basically only happen if MTX is included. You can thank greedy and lazy "story-driven" developers like Sony Santa Monica for that, because they save so much money by giving us half of the game at full price, and still make bank. So of course, developers that give us the full game are going to monetize the online portion for that extra work. My problem is that I already spent $70 on this mobile game that isn't even close to a true AAA experience, and the greedy developers still have the audacity to add MTX. Seeing how this is an online only mobile game with MTX, it should've been free-to-play. This outrageous greed makes EA and Take-Two look like saints in comparison. At least they have full priced games with actual AAA quality. Battlefront 2 or GTA V alone has better quality than the entire Blizzard catalogue combined. That's embarrassing.… Expand

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.

    The endgame barely exists. Its hundreds of hour of grinding the same old procedurally generated content with no thought or variety. By around level 70 on your first character you've seen absolutely everything the game has to offer and that's barely a third of the way to maxing your first character.    … Expand

    One of the least memorable entries into the Diablo series. Boring, shell of a game with issues that you would think should have been ironed out through development, or the decades of lessons learned through other Diablo games.

    Story starts off great, but quickly turns into a forgettable, unfulfilling snoozer that goes right into setup for what I assume to be another paid expansion.    One of the least memorable entries into the Diablo series. Boring, shell of a game with issues that you would think should have been ironed out through development, or the decades of lessons learned through other Diablo games.

    Story starts off great, but quickly turns into a forgettable, unfulfilling snoozer that goes right into setup for what I assume to be another paid expansion. Unfortunately, really the only unique bosses that you come across are found in the campaign, and you may not re-do these bosses unless you re-progress through the campaign on another character. Pretty disappointing considering there are actually only a few variants for "boss," monsters across every single dungeon and many of these are just upgraded "elite," variants of already existing mobs. Couple this with the fact that the lauded 100+ dungeons, or whatever the BS number, are all the same few tilesets with the entrance position moved, and you have some *exhilarating* uninspired gameplay.

    Build variety was already awful, but if you weren't already bored of builder/spender skills, the trajectory of updates ensures that most of the community will be pigeonholed into the same builds for at least a few months. If that wasn't bad enough, as you level up re-speccing gets exponentially more expensive, and extraordinarily tedious, since you have to individually refund each paragon node or skill point.

    Forced online environment with the worst social environment I may have ever seen in a game. Be prepared for rubber banding between every zone. The frequent + abrupt disconnects plaguing the game since launch have hardly improved, and continually cause players to walk away from the game, especially people that enjoy HC modes and lose characters out of their control. Trading has near zero value in this iteration of Diablo, thanks to the awful itemization system that locks item drops to your character level. Makes gearing alts, or playing/trading with friends unnecessarily tedious.

    Awful, unbalanced PvP, with no intent of balance, yet you are forced into these zones for collectables to finish up your characters stats, and paragon nodes/skill points.

    Core features(resistances,) have been broken since launch causing some classes to notably struggle and ensuring even less diversity in builds until AT LEAST season two,(notably, ~6months after release to fix a core/game-breaking feature.) Not only that, but the first seasonal update and they are adding resistances to the loot tables for items that previously had none, as well as new, dead, seasonal content that play around resistances. They are just out of touch, and careless.

    With all of that, Blizzard has shown with the launch and first few updates that they do not respect players/consumers time. The intention is to slow players down, string them through seasons and pump the MTX shop. My fault for purchasing another Blizzard game... especially one that is another unfortunate entry into the graveyard of games as a service.    … Expand

    Turning a casual game into a difficult boring repetitive grind fest. Now I have no issues with grinding as long as it's fun which currently is not the case. I don't know who the developers want to appeal to but it's not the casual player base and there are tons of players who are unhappy with the current state of the game. I mentioned that the Sorceress was the weakest class at launch and like many other classes it's even worse after the nerfs. I don't know what I was expecting from Blizzard after Diablo Immortal people had hope for D4 and somehow they managed to screw it up. Hopefully they wise up and revert the nerfs buff the classes and make the game fun to play before it's too late and they lose all of the player base.    … Expand

This game is not so much about picking up good loot. It's more about crafting your own loot. This takes away the excitement of picking up a good item. And comparing items takes forever, due to the weird affixes and the amount of rare items that drop. It should drop few with higher quality.

    Difficulty scales with level and you will not feel like you are getting stronger until you find better loot. If you are unlucky the game will get harder rather than easier.    … Expand

    Had a blast at the beginning, the campaign was great.

    The grind to level 100 was crap until the previous update which it then became fun again after buffing nightmare dungeons, but after getting to 100 I used all savings to respec my barbarian in hopes of defeating Uber Lillith, only to be constantly killed by cheap one shot mechanics no matter how tanked I was.

    One shots are not fun, there's no sense accomplishment from nearing death only to just be able to overcome the battle.

    I persisted with the barbarian as I enjoyed the class despite them being nerfed to death since launch, barely hitting for 1 million crits as a whirlwind barb while the necro hits for 1.8billion, but now after the latest patch I don't see the point in continuing with my eternal character as the cost to respec is far too expensive.

    I spent around 10 million to respec from a solid whirlwind build to HOTA as I heard they were better for lillith, only to have the class destroyed.

    It's disappointing to work full time but manage to spend over 100 hours on one character as a casual player in hopes of beating the final boss and getting the platinum trophy, but still not be able to defeat the final boss because of dumb one shot mechanics.

    Meanwhile streamers and non-casual gamers are offering real money and in game money to carry players through the final fight. What the actual ****

    Gameplay and graphical presentation (to a degree) is great. It’s the Diablo you know only shinier unfortunately that’s where the good news ends.

    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

We just have to accept that the Blizzard we once knew is long dead and gone. I don't even recognize the company I fell in love with over a decade ago anymore. Either they have no idea how to make games great anymore, or what people actually want in their games, or they're just ever so money hungry that they refuse to make games that don't have potential to generate maximum profits. Maybe it's all of those. I'd love to see this game turn around, because it is fun at its core, but I hate being another player being jerked around by a company that has lost its way long ago.… Expand

    Until better news comes from the team, maybe in the campfire tomorrow, I'll keep a shameful score.

    Gameplaywise I think that this Diablogame is the best of them all, having played all of them (well, 30 minutes Immortal was enough). They had a strong lootchain going. Why destroy it with a patch?    … Expand

    My main lvl 93 sorcerer is destroyed after patch 1.1. Now my character have no def and no dmg. I spent so much time and gold to build my character to the current states. Will not comeback to the game before Blizzard fix sorcerers. Whoever decided it's a good idea to mass nerf like this should be fired NOW

    I am level 100 since multiply weeks and the patch really felt like a massive downgrade in everything.

I don´t understand why these massive changes needed to be done where things like 40% have been adjusted - these are heavily game designing differences. It feels like the initial version of this game was not correctly played by gamers as expected by the game designers, therefor they had to do these dramatic changes now. But practically for me after being 670 hours ingame, that nows feels like a massive funchpunch and my character is much weaker. I had max rolled items which are now min rolles, so I practically lost a lot of gold. Everything takes much longer now and you get less rewards. No Quality of Life features like new stash space have been added, it was really balancing downgrades only. Giving this patch without anything giving back (like add fun or rewards) - feels like a massive disappointment. Hence this rating and I hope it will be fixed… Expand

    What was once a promising game, turned into an overnight catastrophe due to a shockingly horrendous patch that obliterated every ounce of joy from the experience. Even if Blizzard were to revert these changes in the future, the damage has already been done, revealing their indifference towards players' feedback. Oh, the irony of Diablo's downfall—may it burn in hell.

    I want to enjoy the game rather than doing uncomfortable and difficult work.

    Terrible end game loop. No chase items. No crafting. No agency on the contents and rewards. Bad itemization. Forced builds by devs. Buggy and imbalanced tuning.

    The game itself has great art direction and the combat system is fluid however the future of this game hinges on braindead developers who do not play their own games. Constant changes to make this game more of a slog instead of focused on fun.

    1 for the effort. The best thing I can say about the game is that some of it looks nice. Story, gameplay, bosses, build variety, itemization, QoL all below sub-par. Way to underperform, Blizzard. Not worth the absurdly high price.

    You hit new lows with your latest update. I feel like the people who make the game have mental disabilities and need to be treated. Congratulations, you are officially minus one character class - barb. There are bugs that aren't in his favor, dmg is under all criticism, there are no builds with which you can be competitive in PvP.

    I never commented here so I really registered an account just give this game a score of 0, after the GREAT patch 1.1. Great job of killing everything that is still fun and doubling down on making players more painful and forcing them to waste more time. Also, why not just delete the Barb and Sorcerer classes to make you look smarter?

    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.
