    The recent patch has made the game even worse. Not that it was anything special to begin with, mostly a Diablo 3.5 DLC while missing all the good things from Diablo 3.

    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.    … Expand

    Survivability against other games is a shame.
    Hardcore is barely playable.
    If at all you need perfect gear with 4 from 5 good rools out of like...50, which is just an annoying grind... and most likely doesn't happen.
    And alongside... they even nerfed damage reduction in the latest patch. Great move. #not

    Legendary drops are spammed and crap. Rares drope like gold coins and you have to keep checking stats that are usually garbage. Respec and explore new options consume lots of gold and therefore take excessive time to try. Inventory management is garbage. Forget about trying to play more than one class as you're likely never going to reach max level, or even approach decent gear.

    A game that cost over 70 Dollar, yet it fails to provide any improvement or more gameplay and only cut down the fun from player.
    The lag/rubber banding from server was never fixed. But in newest patch, they fixed nothing about the game. Only making the gaming experience even worst.
    It's clearly the dev/blizzard were incapable to listen to players or they have run out of things they can offer.

    The game was decent. All it needed is the proper endgame, more diverse loot and additional systems like runes. And content, more items, affixes, bosses. And QoL updates.

    Instead the devs choose to end the game, nerfing the already weak classes, nerfing and slowing down every aspect of the game. Is this a joke?

    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    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.    … Expand

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.    … Expand

    Diablo 4's decision to slow down the gameplay feels like a misguided attempt to inject realism into the experience.

    What made the    Diablo 4's decision to slow down the gameplay feels like a misguided attempt to inject realism into the experience. While I understand the developers' intentions, it has regrettably resulted in a lack of excitement and engagement. The once satisfying and fluid combat now feels clunky, sluggish, and devoid of the frenetic pace that made previous Diablo games so satisfying.

    What made the previous Diablo titles special was their flawless inclusion of grinding mechanics, encouraging players to immerse themselves in repetitive battles in the pursuit of powerful loot. Diablo 4, however, seems to have undermined this integral aspect. The pacing is now so tedious that grinding becomes a monotonous chore rather than a satisfying endeavor. The joy of seeing your character grow stronger through countless encounters is sadly diminished due to the artificially imposed slowness.

    Moreover, the game's overall rhythm suffers as a result. Diablo 4's slower-paced gameplay undermines the thrill of exploration and discovery. With less urgency and intensity, the environments lose their allure, becoming mundane and uninteresting. The lack of immediate and gratifying feedback from battles exacerbates this issue, leading to an unsatisfying player experience.

    To be fair, Diablo 4 still possesses the franchise's trademark dark and atmospheric visuals, along with a compelling storyline that immerses players in a bleak and foreboding world. However, these redeeming qualities cannot overshadow the significant flaw of slowed-down gameplay, which ultimately eliminates the very enjoyment I sought in this new installment.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4's decision to significantly slow down the gameplay is a baffling misstep. While attempts to add realism may have been well-intentioned, they have resulted in a tedious and unsatisfying experience. The absence of the once-enthralling grind dynamics and the lack of intensity and urgency in combat thwarts the overall enjoyment of the game. As a fan of the series, I sincerely hope that the developers reconsider their approach and find a way to recapture the fast-paced magic Diablo has been known for.    … Expand

    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.

    #Most discussed PC game of 2023: Due to greed, incompetence, and straight up foolishness by the developers. Online only for a game that has no excuse to be fully played on single player? All for what? To make skins relevant for $?? Items are mush, no meaning. Played 30 hours, never was impressed with anything beyond the graphics/cinematics. Doctors should prescribe this to patients with#Most discussed PC game of 2023: Due to greed, incompetence, and straight up foolishness by the developers.

I had to blast high energy music to not fall asleep while playing this god awful game.… Expand

    They gutted how the game feels and plays in the 1.1 patch. Everybodies damage has been reduced, everybodies survivability has been reduced (without fixing the resistance bug yet) and worst of all, COOLDOWN REDUCTION WAS NERFED. Horrible decision by blizzard, what a joke of a patch.

    An embarrassing disaster that is run by incompetent developers. The current team has an absolutely incoherent design philosophy that shows through constant embarrassments in just about every one of their patches.

The current team has an absolutely incoherent design philosophy that shows through constant embarrassments in just about every one of their patches. Constant nerfs and bizarre itemization choices make investing time into this game utterly pointless. The best items in the game are so rare that even the sweatlords were constantly asking blizzard if the items were even in the game 3 weeks after launch, which effectively means there are no chase items in the game. 10 million copies sold and you can count on one hand the number of people that have found these items. Literally. Then, the items that were attainable were made absolutely obsolete after the latest patch and had their stats forcefully changed. Zero quality of life changes that players have been begging for and should have been in the game from day 1. This game is run by buffoons and has zero hope of ever sniffing it’s potential. This game is a Disaster.… Expand

    I've honestly been playing since d1 but d4 just continues to show they are really just going for the most stat padded cash grab possible. A lot of the patches seem as if they have not been thought out but rather just wait until a reaction occurs and respond as if it was unintended or a bug. Slowing down game play and adding no quality of life or real content for a 70+ AAA title game isI've honestly been playing since d1 but d4 just continues to show they are really just going for the most stat padded cash grab possible. A lot of the patches seem as if they have not been thought out but rather just wait until a reaction occurs and respond as if it was unintended or a bug. Slowing down game play and adding no quality of life or real content for a 70+ AAA title game is pretty questionable. You're basically paying for a beta that continues to reduce the fun factor with every patch.… Expand

    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.
