    Fixed an issue where Meshif's camel made no noises.
    Fixed an issue where there was no sound when Lorath kicks Meshif awake.

    Patch 1.1.0 is so marvelous ! I love it !

    The game is nearly unplayable with the changes that Blizzard implemented. Glaring issues with game play and quality of life go ignored. No end game to speak of. Repetitive and boring.

    Negative aspects of the game are now even worse. Cooldowns are even longer with the cooldown reduction being nerfed. Diablo 4 now grindier! Buy our battlepass! Nerf to Xp gain as well as class survivability to slow gameplay loops to a grinding halt. On the upside the campaign cutscenes were decent...

    If you insist on playing the game, play a rogue or druid.

    "World of Diablocraft Online" that's how it feels and plays. This is not a true Diablo. They took Diablo lore and slapped it on a MMO pretending to be an ARPG. I give it a solid 6/10 for the artwork, graphics, story and sound. Other than that, it is 2/10. It is so disappointing to play as a Diablo fan of 1, 2, and 3.

    I got my wife into D3 a few years ago and she liked it alot, we were able to run the same classes and share any loot that dropped while we were both present... not anymore. Can't trade any legendary for any reason. So us sharing any drops that the other may need cannot be done. She tried D4 and can't stand it, and I don't blame her.

    Here are some cons that is what I'm basing my rating on:

    - Monetization (Extremely over priced cosmetics and scam season passes)
    - Bosses aren't hard, just very long time consuming damage sponges
    - Way too many MMO aspects for a true Diablo game
    - Level scaling
    - Lack of build diversity that's actually worth playing
    - No single player option at all. Forced to be in a world with other players.
    - Repetitive bosses/dungeons
    - Serious balance issues
    - Lack of legendary diversity

    Nothing about the end-game content makes me want to keep playing, at all. 60-100 is a slog. The "best" way to level in the end-game is to run nightmare dungeons over and over and over, which quickly gets repetitive. Crafting materials are rare, and Blizzard keeps making them more and more difficult to obtain. Class power is extremely imbalanced, and instead of buffing the classes that need it, Blizzard nerfs everyone across the board.

    If this is the direction Diablo 4 is headed, count me out. Maybe the game will be worth playing in a year or two but for now, unless you only care about the first half of the game, I'd recommend to avoid it.    … Expand

I'm not sure if they just needed to slow things down to keep the more hardcore players going until they could create more content or what the reasoning was, but if they wanted to go this route, it would have just been nice to have an option for more of a casual option vs a hardcore player option where they could choose that more brutal experience. That may not be realistic, but I think they went too far too fast and just crushed my hopes for this game.

    I remember a few of the reviews I watched stated that the game was for the more casual player that loved Diablo 2 and wanted to experience some of that nostalgia. That is why I purchased the game for $70 in the first place, but I feel like that was money well wasted at this point. Disappointing turn of events for sure.    … Expand

But this is Blizzard.

    Despite bugs, an unfinished and badly written linear story that's only intended to slow down leveling, a prewritten fake username submitted Q&A for a dev stream, and highly requested improvements from the start, people were wrongfully comfortable with the problems described below before they worsened, and were excited for a new Diablo game (even comparing how good the release was to how terrible D3 was).

    This game caught the attention of most of my friends that play games. Over 90% of my friends list (casual gamers and hardcore gamers alike) were playing it consistently each night for the first month, which is rare considering limited free time and how many new games there are to choose from.

    Besides what was mentioned above, terrible itemization, lack of common sense quality of life implementation or social features, and over-the-top conditional affixes were main complaints and have been mostly ignored or shelved for empty promises to be added 4-6 months from now, when exploits caused from their patches are fixed within hours.

    The problems and worsening of gameplay have only grown larger over time due to unfixed broken builds (and a month-long blinding blight animation bug on necromancer that made partying with them undesirable), skills being nerfed or gutted to the point where they're unquestionably useless or outright removed from classes, a loot table that drops majority of items intended for people 20-30 levels lower than your current level, level caps, enemy density reductions, reduction of xp earned, increase of cooldown reductions, reduction of the main aspects that determine damage, and nerfing damage and damage reduction while buffing enemy damage in game-wide patches to "compensate for powerful" seasonal mechanics that don't equally empower players (especially nonseasonal characters that can't access seasonal mechanics, rendering all nonseasonal players' build options completely useless).

    Resistances to elements were added and even expanded on items and aspects, but they admitted that it's completely broken and would not resist anything by the time you have died, and fixing this problem was stated to take multiple seasons to resolve.

    Before the 1.1 patch, Lvl 120 bosses in nightmare dungeons were easier to kill than the Lvl 100 "pinnacle boss", and now they're both out of the question.

    Hardcore mode was already out of the question due to bugs and server problems that could delete your character without any fault of the player.

    This only shows that Blizzard believes unneeded intentional slowdowns, limits of stash tabs, more limitation on viable builds for a game that has a higher complexity of possible builds, and inconveniences are more important to prevent players from having fun while slowly grinding the same 30 dungeons monotonously from lvl 50 to lvl 100 for an endgame that does not exist.

    It seems like a team of people that don't play the game at all have completely ignored all feedback while lying that they were paying attention to feedback, instead looking at spreadsheets to find and remove the most popular meta mechanics that their development choices shoehorned players to gravitate towards without making anything viable to choose to play, not to mention completely gutting any capability to play or enjoy Sorcerer class MULTIPLE TIMES. The balancing team is not creating balance, they're making the game unbearable to enjoy across all classes and builds.

    Despite experiencing all of Blizzard's previous terrible games, I made an exception to purchase this game due to the baseline of quality they presented during multiple beta tests and preseason gameplay, but Blizzard does not value the time and money spent, feedback, or enjoyment of its customers.

    My friends that played this game every day for the first month were excited for Season 1, but since the latest patch notes have already stated they've lost hope and have moved on to other games, and the game's reddit is on fire.

    I'm not hopeful for the "campfire" dev stream that is scheduled one day after the new season starts with these new changes, and I'm moving on to indie games from passionate developers that listen to their customers' feedback rather than spoonfeed "this is what's good for you" decisions.

    The new state of this game further cements the fact that current and future game quality from AAA developers will continue to decline due to leadership that have no interest or passion in gaming besides how quickly it brings money in, and how quickly developers can release a game with depressing alpha quality state.    … Expand

    The "end game" is boring and repetitive. It seems like every system in the game is there to slow you down and artificially inflate your play time. This recent patch (1.1) is absolutely terrible. They did absolutely nothing when it comes to quality of life improvements and just nerfed everything into the ground. Some of the things this latest patch did was lowered XP rates, lowered loot drops, added more affixes to gear nobody wanted making it even harder to get something actually good, increased cooldowns and lowered all damage and damage resistance for players in the game (Just to list a few). Again, making the game slower so people have to invest more time. This patch just screams "the developers don't play their own game" and it shows. The community is not happy and they have every right to be.

    This game had such potential to be an awesome game and who knows, some day it might be. But at the time this review was written it is far from even a decent game. Going to shelf the game and revisit it in 5-6 months with fingers crossed that they actually take the community's feedback into consideration and improve the game.    … Expand

    Diablo 4 stands as a testament to the incompetence of its developers and the devastating consequences of ignoring player feedback. It's a tragedy to witness a once-beloved franchise brought to its knees by the very people entrusted with its revival.

    The campaing and pre-season were the best fun I had for a while and I'm extremely grateful. But then the season 1 patch dropped and remove all the fun for the game, nerfing every class and vulnerability damage and crit damage and so on. Sure the buffed acrros the board the damage but it doesn't get closer as it was before, also nerfing aspects.. c'mon men.

    Not since the NGE in Star Wars: Galaxies has a single patch so thoroughly ruined a gane. D4 wasn't good before this patch, and it's *terrible* after the patch. This team has no idea what they're doing. It might be years before D4 is in a playable state.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Only 2/6 campaign acts are likeable, the last 3 being convoluted and seem to have been rushed to get completed. Ending is about as nonsensical as possible and prepares for a $40 expansion in about a year. About 25 hours long if you take your time, most of which is running between npcs to get orders from since your character is as close to a mindless drone as you can get, and you only unlock the horse after the first 3/4 of the story. What is canon is also inconsistent, with characters referencing having a surplus of health potions, but not using them when they are stabbed and dying in the dumbest way possible.

    After the most recent 1.1 patch, most meta builds have been nerfed damage wise by 40%, but are still the meta since the other builds suck that much. Enemy health has also been buffed and player survivability nerfed. For example, the worst performing class by a significant margin had to rely on a specific passive to stay competitive, and that was nerfed by 20%.    … Expand

    Blizzard is trying to make and loot based ARPG MMO, without rewarding loot system; the loot is just boring. An ARPG without action; progression is slower than a sloth. A MMO without a social system; does not even have basic groupfinding for ANY of the very little content in the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Horrible Development team. Deaf on public outcry and all issues with the game. Tries to disguise lengthy and tedious grinds as additional content. Claims months are needed to make simple fixes like adding additional tabs to bank storage or increasing mob density. Has defensive resistances completely non functional within the game and claims they will be fixed by season 3 (6 months away) but nerfed other defensive aspects anyways, before fixing other options (resistances). Game is open world but there is no social aspects, no group finder, many phases so running in to other actual players is kind of rare and there's very little interaction if any at all. Also in spite of all the phases there is a ton of lag so I don't know what the phasing is accomplishing. Also there is nothing really worth doing live world anyways, only world boss fights which only occur like every 6 hours which are a joke and there was helltides which were every other hour but now they just drastically nerfed those as well. It's as if the developers seek to shoot themselves in the foot with a game that had potential but was already heavily struggling. The itemization is absolutely horrible, with tons of useless and bloated stats ruining gear such as "shrine duration and useless resistances" the uniques are mostly terrible and don't feel powerful and the ones that are powerful are rarer than winning the lottery (literally). Their first season is introducing what is essentially legendary gems, and a crappy event mechanic in order to obtain them. That is all they could muster in terms of content. Not to mention the legendary gems and the power they will add (if you are lucky) is the mass amount of power they just removed from all characters in their latest patch. They improved xp gains from nightmare dungeons which was a large improvement even though it still required over 100 hours of FOCUSED grinding to hit max level. Their pvp zone is atrocious with lvl 100s being in the same zone and able to attack lvl 70s with ease. Basically there isn't really anything good to be said about this game right now.

Then the mass of items that drop all the time in that game, it feels bit boring walking all the time and deconstructing things..The dungeon quests are also bit weird.."pick up a stone and bring it from A to B" is ok i mean i could do that once or twice but not all the time, people make that kind of games at first lesson in programming school...or better "kill all monsters" ..the creators just have no imagination. The other bad thing is the price for that game..is way to high because it feels like some cheap game made by few people. The view on the character is kind of weird..looks like ppl from POE worked on it or something..missing a bigger zoom out for sure. Also when we get a reward at the end of some quest and a big chest drops from the air ..this looks like diablo 3 style or some torchlight game..it makes d4 not so atmospheric anymore.

    Atleast the blizzard devs listened to me more than what my parents did. I believe they made their damage buckets so convoluted that they don't realize how it all works. Instead of patching for balance they patched for frustration.

    Patch 1.1 on July 18 ruined everything good about the game and made it a trashy mindless slog to get through. It’s trying to be a loot based ARPG MMO with no rewarding loot system, no action, and no social elements. Don’t waste your time unless the developers make major changes.

    The game had some potential, but the lack of end game became evident. Unfortunately the dev instead of working on end game content for Season 1 decided to poop all over the game and nerf everything to make the end-game even more of a slog.

    Seeing their philosophy being so bad so early doesn't bode well for the long term health of the game

    Devs don’t listen requests from the fan base. With the new patch 1.1 they have nerfs all class/build instead of improving their game. TheWake up this morning and having my characters being 50% weaker than yesterday is just ****. We feel slow and weak. Not what I was looking for when I bought this game.

    So unrefined. So many glitches, invisible bats, doors that don’t visibly open but you can walk right through them. Balance issues are monumental. Zero endgame playability. Linear game that seems to have been yet another blizzard failure. Diablo franchise has progressively been getting worse and worse since Diablo 2. Loot system is a joke.

    Tone-deaf development team, constant lagging and rubberbanding, clunky mechanics, the list goes on. Horrible experience overall.

    The latest patch's new aspects and uniques are incredibly disapointing. This gives us a sign in the lack of build diversity. Copy + Paste builds still rule. Fix minions so they don't die so much for all classes. Season 1 looks ok, but nothing I'm hyped over. QQ

    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.
