    Not anymore. Patch 1.1 gutted every build and slowed the game down to a grinding halt. Less damage, reduced stat numbers on items, more garbage stats, less exp for monster kills, less cooldown reduction so combat encounters last longer, less rewards from helltides, less item drops from elite kills, less survivability, just to name a few of the changes. And of course, no QoL improvements and nothing that the game was sorely lacking besides a few bug fixes.

    Blizzard see what the community asks for, do the exact opposite, and then do a fireside chat to justify it with "our developers have a vision". F*** off. Uninstalled. I might come back when you patch the fun back into your game.    … Expand

    I really tried to like this game.
    Ive been watching pre- and reviews in which they said "It's like diablo 3 just better" so I didn't wait, like planned, till the season starts. I bought it to launch.
    Oh boy, were the outlets wrong and oh boy have I been stupid. Yes the game is just like Diablo 3 but better… Like a slightly better launchversion of Diablo 3. Diablo 4 is a tedious slog.    I really tried to like this game.

    Diablo 4 is a tedious slog. The story is quiet nice, if you like it.
    But besights of that it is nothing else than a collection of boring chores.
    I am especially annoyed by Activision Blizzards behavior.
    They nerfed everything for the first week.
    All the dungeons which you could use to level up were literally obliterated.
    Sorry for heaving fun in dungeons with high mop density.
    Then finally they said it's now time for buffs.
    And they came and were actually good…. Until they took everything away from us, just to stretch game time.
    I don't even talk about the class nerfs.
    It's about the stats and the experience…
    The worst it that they did not even publish every change.
    They kept so many changes in secret, it is just embarrassing
    Would love to get a refund for this game but sadly this is not possible..    … 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

    Blizzard hates its players. Every class is getting nerfed over and over again until the game becomes a ridiculous grind. Sorcerer had the most hate of all.

The gear was bland an uninteresting. After level 25 gear which I upgraded to 40 I never tried anything new because there was nothing unique or strong enough to replace them. The most unique items are so rare 99.99999% of players will never see them. Sorc skills were dependant on one skill so every sorc had to run frost nova to inflict vulnerable. That skill just got nerfed by 40% in the most recent patch making sorc utterly useless. Every action taken by the dev is a giant middle finger to the community. Then there’s the writing. It’s absolutely terrible and full of plot holes. For example, one of the strongest NPC’s who defeated a high level demon wanders off at a completely inappropriate time and gets caught on a pillar and he dies. It’s so dumb. The characters are stupid to the point of wilful neglect by the writers. There’s nothing relatable about any of them. The whole game is a giant cat and mouse chase. It’s just irritating and has no redeeming features.

    I could discuss so much more of how awful and poorly written this game is but I don’t want to waste any more time on it. They took the best of Diablo 2 and 3 and destroyed it. What a waste of £60. Will never buy from blizzard again. You have been warned!    … Expand

    Patch 1.1.0A ended the game for me and for many others. They really need to play their own game before making such drastic (poor) changes. So many features/QOL/pain points they have not bothered addressing, yet take quick action if there were an exploit/bug which gets hotfixed within an hour. They took a good game that has so much potential and continue to keep ruining it.

    Blizzard deploys nonsensical patches that break the underlying mechanics of the game and in doing so ensures that it has no long-term playability. Why would anyone invest time in this game if they're just going to casually break whatever you've built to juice some internal KPI with a complete disregard for whether or not it makes the actual game fun to play?

    Necromancer. Barbarian. Rogue. Sorceress. Druid. Long ago, the five classes lived together in harmony, each player honing their abilities, perfecting their strategies, and reveling in the thrill of Diablo 4. Then, everything changed when Blizzard launched Patch 1.1.

    A world of versatility and power was suddenly replaced with stifling constraints. The once robust Necromancers, Barbarians,    Necromancer. Barbarian. Rogue. Sorceress. Druid. Long ago, the five classes lived together in harmony, each player honing their abilities, perfecting their strategies, and reveling in the thrill of Diablo 4. Then, everything changed when Blizzard launched Patch 1.1.

    A world of versatility and power was suddenly replaced with stifling constraints. The once robust Necromancers, Barbarians, Rogues, Sorceresses, and Druids faced crippling nerfs that stripped them of their former glory.

    No relief came from the enchantment front either. The mysterious and potent art stayed as costly as ever, draining resources without a hint of mercy. The fiery Helltides, once swift as the wind, now languished at a snail's pace, mocking the determined players with their sluggish currents.

    The art of Boosting, once a glorious race to the top, was crushed under the weight of patch 1.1, now resembling an uphill battle in waist-deep snow. The once diverse gameplay was corralled into Nightmare dungeons, where other challenges were reduced to mere whispers in the wind.

    Experience bonuses that were once the spoils of defeating mighty adversaries became mere crumbs, a meager 10% of their former glory. The sensation of triumphant victory against higher-level beasts was replaced with a hollow echo of what once was.

    The essence of combat, the critical strikes and vulnerability damage, faced the wrath of the patch as well. Slashed by 17% and 40% respectively, they further dimmed the once blinding brilliance of the game's weapons.

    Diablo 4 was not a sprint; it was a marathon. But with the arrival of Patch 1.1, the marathon had turned into an endless crawl through a desert of nerfs, each oasis of fun seemingly further away than the last.

    But there was no all-powerful Avatar, no master of all classes to rise and restore balance. Instead, a call to arms echoed amongst the players: It's time to speak up, to say 'enough is enough.' It wasn't about persevering silently or accepting the nerfed world; it was about making their voices heard, about standing up for the game they loved. Because when it comes to the games we play, the hope is not just something we give ourselves. It's something we demand from those who hold the reins. This is the true essence of player power.    … Expand

    I played Sorc, so color my words as you see fit.

    Yeah, this is gonna get worse.

    So... there were problems. Major problems. But D3 had similar problems, and they fixed it. And continued a rotation of fixing and breaking and it was ok - eventually I got tired of it all and stopped but I still put in 2 years in that game, so I got my money's worth. So D4 is going to come out strong, right? Right...?

    Well, yes and no - they clearly had some good lessons learned. The game had some great moments at first. And Blizzard was trying to fix some of the major complaints with QoL. Nice!

    Sorcs were busted in a bad way - sidekick to the sidekick levels of bad. But hey - balance patches fix everything! And season 1 is coming and that's when we'll see our patch! We eagerly wait 1.1.0

    Well, 1.1.0 dropped.

    Holy shirt. They made it worse. They literally took every complaint and ignored them. They made the game mathematically worse in every way. Every build players made to try and cope with some of the bad game designs were absolutely destroyed across the board. The best classes got squashed, and the worst classes got caught in the same crush. Sorcs are unplayable. Poor damage and survivability BEFORE the patch GOT MUCH MUCH WORSE. There's no playtesting being done. There's no thought being put into the game at all. All of the QoL changes we asked for were ignored. There's no consistent benefit to playing anymore - and Blizzard hasn't shown any desire to make it happen. They just want to push the battle pass. Why? Because it's an income stream. That's all that matters to them. Shut up and buy the battle pass.

    The patch today was a steaming pile. I think most people would agree with that. Nerfs across the board never sit well with gamers, especially in ARPG's. But I don't think they understand how "on the fence" most people already were.

    As more and more people reached the end game and realized how truly lacking in depth this game really is, the tone amongst Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and    The patch today was a steaming pile. I think most people would agree with that. Nerfs across the board never sit well with gamers, especially in ARPG's. But I don't think they understand how "on the fence" most people already were.

    As more and more people reached the end game and realized how truly lacking in depth this game really is, the tone amongst Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and Forums started to shift. That was two weeks ago.

    The fact is, people are getting bored. This is an ACTION RPG with slow-paced action. It's a LOOT hunter with boring loot. This is an MMO with no social aspects. A dungeon crawler that feels more like a game of fetching the stones and putting them on the pedestals.

    The cracks are starting to show in the end game, and people feel like we're playing a paid Beta, you decide now is the time to drop a patch that **** on every build. What better way to push everyone over the edge than to nerf everything?

    Damage? NERF
    Defense? NERF
    Cooldown? NERF
    XP? NERF
    Power Leveling? NERF
    Helltide? NERF

    Sure, some builds needed to be fixed, but you didn't have to completely gut entire classes while you were at it. But the nerfs are not even the point of this post. I don't even care about them. I'll adapt and overcome, I'm not afraid of a challenge. But this patch made me really think, why play season 1 at all? You didn't address a single one of the NUMEROUS valid complaints about this game.

    6 new uniques? If you think adding 6 new unique items for every 3 month season is an acceptable pace to bring some depth to the sorely lacking itemization in this game, I might as well not play until season 30.

    No leaderboards? No in-game trading with an option for self-found mode? No paragon board reset? No Occultist changes? (Cost or listing possible outcomes) No group finder? No stash tabs?

    Nothing, in fact. Not a single thing to shine a bit of light on this **** sandwich. You made the game slower. Mobs take longer to kill, and yield less xp, and we're now gated to lower world tiers until the "recommended" (now mandatory) levels of 50 for WT3 and 70 for WT4.

    So on Thursday, we're expected to start over, but this time it's all slower, less fun, time & experience gated. And all to get to the end and realize what an unfinished and lacking game this really is. Again. Still.

    Maybe if you spend less time trying to "balance" a SINGLE PLAYER PVE GAME WHERE NOBODY CARES ABOUT BALANCE, and more time adding things that are actually fun and immersive, you might sell more battle passes and cosmetics.

    What an absolute joke.    … Expand

    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.

    It's clear that the developers have turned a blind eye to the overwhelming criticism. Glaring issues pointed out by players remain unaddressed, and it's apparent that the devs are more interested in pushing their misguided vision than in delivering a game that resonates with fans.

    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. As a long-time fan, I can only hope that the developers take this as a hard lesson and reevaluate their approach, but until then, I advise anyone to steer clear of this catastrophic failure.    … Expand

    Recent patch is ridiculous - you're destroying your own game for what seems to be the goal of trying to tie people into an endless grind...forgetting that people will grind for thousands of hours if the game is fun! Copied that review. because its onpoint

    The 1.1 patch removes all fun from the game that Blizzard hadn't eradicated with their earlier changes. They know exactly what the community would like to see in the game, just decide to blatantly ignore it. This studio is a husk of what it used to be and it's a shame such a great franchise as Diablo is developed by them because GGG or Larian would have done 10x better job with 100xThe 1.1 patch removes all fun from the game that Blizzard hadn't eradicated with their earlier changes.

    This is what you get when you replace passionate engineers with MBAs in suits. The story as old as capitalism.    … Expand

    Trash. Skills are a joke. Complicated item system. No endgame content. Grind grind grind to get to higher level and the only thing that drops is 80% lower level trash. IMO it's not worth the money. Plus they just made the game even worse with the latest patch. I wouldn't bother with the game for another few years until they start listening to the feedback of the community. It really feelsTrash. Skills are a joke. Complicated item system.

    The developers are actively trying to ruin all the fun out of the game. Completely detached from the playerbase. The new patch is the worse I have ever seen in a PC game. I am done with Diablo 4.

    Oof. What a monumental **** up by blizzard. How to kill your game in two months. 1. Ignore all player feedback. 2. Don't utilize the 20+ years of franchise experience in crafting great stories and gameplay
    3. Nerf all classes, builds, damage, defenses, resistances, leveling friends, group play, and overall game play fun. 4. Profit?

    Get ****ed Blizzard.

    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.
