    Well. I'm Necromancer lvl 73. I play since the open Beta. There has been 3 server stress tests. There has been a closed bêta 6 month ago. But none of these beta helped the server stability.

    Early acess 02/06/23 : minor bugs, servers were working pretty well. I progress through the campaign with my friends and it went pretty well.But once we achieved endgame features, there's a lot of bugs.
    Nightmare dungeons : bugged. You can't go in with friends because you will be desynchronised 1 dungeon out of 2.
    Helltide : unplayable with lags. you'll die everytime you take a lag, and you'll lose your components.

    Release date 06/06/23 : lags everytime. Permanent lags, so totally unplayable endgame features

    08/06/23 22h30 GMT+1 : Crash server. Can't play. Only 2 days since release.

    Enough with server problems. There's also class balance problems. Barbarian is Godlike, rogue is too squishy (gets one shotted by almost everything), necromancer has literraly 0 mobility, druid is unkillable, and sorcerer is the only balanced class.

    Let's talk about campaign : Act 1, 2, 3 ,4 and 5 are Star Wars Disney tier. Act 6 is a real masterpiece.
    Campaign boss fights are for retarded ppl. they have 0 mechanics, they just have a ton of hp.
    Only Lilith have a real boss fight. And Elias after the campaign will have a real boss fight too.

    The Artistic Direction is perfect. that's why i give them 1 point.
    Sound Design is good, but Lost Ark is better at it.

    There's a lack of features in the UI. We can't see other player's profile. there's no statistics, can't watch playtime, there's no ladder.
    There's no search bar for items in the stash. Gems take too much space

    And there's a ton of other bugs, like sometimes you can't use any ability or dash. Sometimes the horse's pathfinding will totally bug. Cinematics will sometimes bug when you play with friends, only 1 in the group will the dialogues / cinematics.

    There's no diversity in the bestiary and the dungeon bosses or in the decorations. All monsters are recycled with different color, and they are spread all over the entire map. Dungeons are procedural but you will see always the same monsters in them.
    Dungeon Bosses are catastrophic. Distant / Mage bosses are retarded, they do no damage so you can just burst them with any build.
    Melee Bosses are a nightmare, they run faster than you, have an attack speed higher than the light speed. So you almost can't kite them and if you don't play barbarian, druid or sorcerer frost you'll just instant die.

    To sum up, this game is garbage and doesn't deserve your money, let Blizzard sink.

    First they messed up WoW, then Overwatch, and now Diablo. That was the final nail in the coffin. It's unbelievable. I refuse to support a company that doesn't care about making a good game and just makes changes that make everything worse.

Chances that they will put in some sort of p2w, forced MMO aspects to incentivize buying cosmetics, or even locking content behind pay wall is very high with these people. Expand

Stupid server crashes for hardcore players, a P2W release event "with early access" is fine they want to make money as a service but don't sell me the **** skins at that price being a full price AAA game.

    Let's be honest, this is a game from Activision, the most vile and evil company in gaming and in the world. They released this game with pre-reserved content for Seasons and Expansions, despite upcharging the game. That alone says all you need to know. They view the game 100% as a product to reel people in and not as a 'vision' or an experience. If you watched the developer interviewers, it was pretty easy to see that not one of them had any real passion for the game they were developing.

    Now here's the kicker. They released the game with the 'end game' Dungeons proving pretty much no benefit at all, and are quite tedious with many dead ends, walking time, town time, horse time, etc. These are endgame Dungeons that provide the same amount of XP and Items on level 1 as on level 40. Which of course proves they didn't test or play their game at all.

    Instead of proving they care about the game by doing something simple like adding an XP equation to the Dungeons, they 'maximized' on the situation by arrogantly saying 'it's something we will fix when you play our next season'. Literally all they have to do is open a coding document, and apply a simple equation that involves Dungeon levels.

    They have literally only nerfed things since the game started. They don't care about a user feeling powerful, they care about SLOWING everybody down, so everybody has to spend more time in game. They LITERALLY took the servers offline for 1 hour so they could 'ninja patch' every town so the vendors, stashes, and other necessities were much farther apart. All to 'train' their 'clients' to get used to spending 4 hours in the game to get that 20 minute dopamine fix most ARPGs simply hand out.

Game design is awful as always from Blizzard, bland talent tree, green and red tooltips making us think we're stupid and can't figure out what's better ourselves. UI feels extremely mobile because the game is catered to console users for maximum profit. Further, they're giving us only a few keybinds and they're massive and glued to under your action bar and cannot be turned off.

    chase maximum profit for minimum effort, ruining every single artistic and fun aspect that good games can bring.

    An Absolute Disaster: A Patch That Ruined the Game

    Where do I even begin with this so-called "patch"? It's an absolute train wreck that's left the game in shambles. I can't believe developers had the audacity to release this disaster to the players. If I could give it zero stars, I would.

    First of all, the patch was supposed to address bugs and improve gameplay, but it somehow managed to introduce even more issues. The game is now plagued with glitches and errors that make it almost unplayable. It's like the developers didn't even bother testing it before pushing it out to the public.

    And let's talk about the supposed "balance changes" they made. Instead of creating a more enjoyable experience, they've ruined the game's core mechanics. Classes that were once balanced are now overpowered or useless. It's clear the developers have no clue about game design, and they've destroyed the delicate equilibrium that made the game fun.

    But that's not all. The patch also brought with it a slew of microtransactions and pay-to-win features. It's evident that the developers care more about squeezing money out of their players than providing a quality gaming experience. Greed has triumphed over integrity, and it's a disgrace.

    The communication from the development team has been abysmal. They ignored the community's feedback and released this travesty of a patch without any consideration for the players. They've shown a complete lack of respect for their loyal fanbase, and it's a slap in the face to all of us who have supported the game since day one.

    I've invested hundreds of hours into this game, and this patch has made me regret every single minute. It's heart-wrenching to see a game I once loved reduced to this pathetic state. I wouldn't recommend anyone to touch this game with a ten-foot pole until the developers fix the mess they've created.

    In conclusion, this patch is a colossal failure on every level. It's a disgrace to the gaming industry and a blatant disregard for the players who have supported the game. The developers should be ashamed of themselves for releasing such a monstrosity. Save your time and money, and stay far away from this broken mess.

    First, the roll-out of pre-launch: 'Play up to three days early' was a total grift. Here is how:

    First, the roll-out of pre-launch: 'Play up to three days early' was a total grift. Here is how:

    I was on the fence about buying this game at all but I bought the $100 (USD) ultimate edition so I could play with my friends pre-launch. After forcing myself to keep with the druid for 2+ hours, I decided I couldn't take it any longer and made a new character.

    1 minute log-in queue. 'Ok, not a big deal, it's opening weekend and only 1 minute.'
    ---> 'log-in pending'
    ---> several minutes later I gave up and tried to log in again hoping it was a bug. I got the exact same result.
    ---> I then tried closing and opening the game in hopes it was a local bug that could be fixed with a reload of the game.
    ---> I then got a 24-MINUTE LOG-IN WAIT (there were plenty of people struggling with this same thing, see other accounts of it online). Frustrated, and needing to leave to do other things IRL, I quit.

    I decided I would seek a refund. I will again point out that the ENTIRE reason I bought this early, and as an upgraded edition, was exclusively to play with my friends since they are big Diablo fans. Since I could not play it at all, I requested a refund.

    I got two different responses from two different people. The first response was due to "one or more products included in this purchase were already consumed." I didn't use any mounts. I didn't put on any cosmetics. All I can guess is that the 'season pass', or something else, was applied immediately upon purchase meaning from the moment of installation the game would be non-refundable.

    The second response was actually quite nicely written and kind, but the end result was the same. This time, the reason was I had too much play time. Ok, they have a 2-hour limit for refunds, I get that. Also, I am standing by my point that buying this early to be able to play pre-launch, something they advertised, AND BEING UNABLE TO LOG-IN AND PLAY, should be plenty of grounds for refund. If you went to a movie and the projector quits half-way through the movie you would seek a refund. As we know by now, however, Blizzard doesn't care at all about things like player satisfaction of purchase, enjoyment of the product, etc. so I am out $100 for a game that can't even log-in regularly.

    The game itself wasn't terrible (not that great either...), but the way Blizzard handled this was, as usual, lacking any real care about how it impacts the players so long as they got the money and can legally justify keeping it (refusing refunds).

    Regarding the gameplay: As others have said, the customization of skills feels less impactful than D3, the customizations are less interesting that D3, and leveling up doesn't feel like it's adding much each time. I found myself respec'ing my skills over and over trying to get some skills I enjoyed. Also, in D3, I loved playing harder difficulty for better drops and XP. In this one, it feels like the next difficulty up takes 2x the time to kill something but only 20% more XP. I had to set it back to 'Adventure' difficulty to make it at all enjoyable and not feel like a miserable grind with boring, monotonous gameplay.

    This game may become great as they update, tweak, and change skills. Or, they won't, and it will stay mediocre as it is.

    Graphics are decent, story is decent as well. Basically, if this wasn't made by Blizzard it probably would have been more fun, launched properly (10+ years of server issues at launch of several games shows they don't give a s--- about player satisfaction at launch, they've just created an expectation that they will botch up the launch and it's 'ok'), and had people ready to keep throwing money at them. Instead, Blizzard decides to crap all over the good will of their player base yet again with the mentality 'you aren't going anywhere, who cares.'

    I am FINALLY going to learn my lesson, late as it is. I will give them no more money ever again. I hope you too avoid this game and anything from Blizzard as every single year they show us that they don't care about us, so why should we keep giving them our money??

    This game is super boring, the gameplay makes you sleepy, your character won't get better by leveling up making the core principles of the game useless and I don't like the camera.. This is my first diablo and my last. I am really struggling to understand why people puts so many hours into this nonsense, borring and repetitive mess.

Another problem is that every season you have to discover everything again, even though my main character has discovered everything, shrines, etc., now I have to run and discover them again, along with the portals. I don't know why the editors gave this game such a high rating, because for me it is a complete failure. Expand

    Ladies and Gentleman, I have the honor to present to you.....Diablo Immortal 2 !
    Indeed, behind these great graphics and cinematics, Diablo 4 hide a well known to players secret...
    microtransactions. Plentyof them. Yes, you read that right, after paying 70$ on a game wich is enormous considering that the full price of a game was often 60$ these few last years. You have to spend minimum 25$ to get ONE skin. This game is more expensive than Fortnite, Halo Infinite or other free to play. It got even worse with the first introduced season pass.... This game demands you to pay 10$ wich is the standard price for a season pass IN A F2P GAME for the premium. If you dont have the premium, you get 27 free tier, wich is roughly the same thing in F2P, but, here's the catch, almost half of these free tiers are "smoldering ashes" wich allow you to buy some small bonuses for the season (1 month) like +5% EXP. But it also not give enough of the premium money to allow you to buy another pass next month, wich is usually done by F2P games, but Diablo 4 wants to milk more money than that apparently.
    So not only does this game have the audacity to nerf every character and the EXP outcome from almost everything, but not only does he allow himself to be 70$ AND be more expensive in it's microtransaction system than a F2P game. I just uninstalled the game after this chain of update.
    and you're probably gonna tell me "but these are just skins, it's fine" no it is not. It's this method of thinking that led us to the catastrophe of Battlefront 2 years ago. Because if you put a paying skin in-game, it haves to be deduced from the game itself. If a free skin is looking more attractive then a paying skin, why buying the skin ? This leads to having all the great looking skins in the shop.
    About the story, many peoples disliked it, I, personnaly enjoyed it, it was really short, but it wouldn't have been good to extend it artificially.
    Well, go play a F2P game, it'll be funnier, I'm going back on Diablo 3.

    The facts that Blizzard stumbled and failed at power progression is mind boggling to me. I understand that its because of level scaling.
    So in previous diablo games level of monsters was fixed. So player CHOSE difficulty by going under level. (if player power is lacking) to grind more and catch up, and keep game difficulty enjoyable. or go over level (if player power is above the curve) and raise difficulty to make it enjoyable.
    because monsters just level up with you, and you have NO choice to pick difficulty for yourself... in many case game is boring because its too easy, or its boring because its to hard and grindy. Game does have same time in golden middle, but not much. It is even worse for your alts.
    One of solutions would be : allow player to -X +X monster levels, that this will reduce/increase XP and Magic find but allow players TO PICK GAMEPLAY THEY WANT TO HAVE!
    Itemization is also boring after first 100 hours. You almost never ever see anything new and interesting. You have seen all legendries by then. And diablo 4 drops very few interesting unyque's. fail here too.
    so... its ARPG, looter to create power fantasy for players. And D4 fails at both power fantasy and loot part.

    I would recommend Blizzard to focus on creating quality gameplay, instead of focusing on creating perfect platform to sell battle passes and overpriced cosmetics.

    If you like ARPG - give Diablo 4 a try. I still believe it technical masterpiece worth experiencing. Only don't plan to spend 3000 h on it like you did in Diablo 2...

Furthermore, the annoyances and things that were wrong and the community brought, they didn't care about and didn't fix them. Instead they made the game even more annoying, by busting armor and survivability. The public complained that they want resistances to be buffed, bli$$ard decided to nerf armor instead.

    The most tone deaf Dev team ever. The game had a chance at being great, it has lost it's allure for me after the flagrant disregard for basic QoL updates in lieu of completely dismantling the game.

    Season 1 update kill the Game and the games was already worst than D2 or D3.

    The sorceres on end Game IS crap. Also they try to sell crap cosmetics all the time.

    This Game do not worth the money better but baldurs Gate 3 or diablo 2 remake.

    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.
