    Ever wonder what it looks like when a game company/developers are out of touch with their player base? Look no further.

    These developers are balancing their game against streamers who basically play it for a living. The game has no real end-game content once you hit World Tier 4, and instead of addressing that in any decent way their solution is to nerf everything so the progression
    Ever wonder what it looks like when a game company/developers are out of touch with their player base? Look no further.

    These developers are balancing their game against streamers who basically play it for a living.

    The game has no real end-game content once you hit World Tier 4, and instead of addressing that in any decent way their solution is to nerf everything so the progression is closer to Everquest 1, where it was basically a full-time job to reach end-game.

    That's right, the solution to having no late-game content is to make it take so long to get here most people will likely never reach it.

    It's very clear the developers are not players in the game.

    On the bright side, Blizzard does make great cinematic trailers.

    Patch 1.1 gutted the game, made the game go way too slow. Nerfed everything that was fun about the game into oblivion.

    - No world chat
    - Trade chat where I haven't seen anyone write in the entire 350 hours
    - You have to have open like 10 **** chrome tabs to find what you need - Trading only rare items which you can only sell/buy guess where... on a **** discord or find people on social media??????? **** WHY Why is everything else account bound? Diablo 2 has none of this features and it just okey nobody

    - Also i got spectral (horse skin) like 20 time and i can't do **** with it cause it's account bound. WHY? I already have it...
    - The Skill Tree is absolutely pathetic. You have like 6 skills which 4 of them are garbage without damage or any good bonus. Yeah so everybody use the same stupid build. There is no diversity.
    - Aspects are piece of trash. Half of them are not interesting or useless and the good ones just got nerfed to hell.
    - But don't worry we made some new aspect for you to enjoy like 20-40 % movement speed when you moving AWAY from slowed or chilled enemies.... oh my god is this a **** joke?
    - No kill count
    - No gold count on pick up
    - No counter of destroyed things (There is a achievement for it) but i can't see how many things i destroyed... yep
    - No counter for killing spree
    - You have to make a new characters to stash your items... in cause you don't want to scrap/sell your stuff cause why the **** not
    - No stash search bar.. when pretty much every item looks the same yeah it so much fun to spend 20 minutes searching for what you need.
    - nearly a hundred and **** fifty dungeons but everyone of them feels the same good job
    - Yeah and for anyone wondering in the endgame you only doing like 3 of them cause the rest is a **** garbage without mobs ZERO EXP and loot just a waste of time.
    - Hellties are good only for gear once you get decent items its a waste of time again
    - Tree of Whispers is a joke droping level 15 sigils for T3 on 90+ levels... ??? XDDDD
    - Boss battles are about who can kill it faster and say im **** tired of this bull**** i quit (It's like 3 bosses all the time)
    - I had a hard time to understand which stats are better is it overpower ? is it vulnerable? is it critical damage? is it psychical damage or all damage... come on guys
    - Where are runes you promised?
    - Where is some kind of dmg dummy ?
    - Why do i have tab for materials but not for gems ? And why you can only stack them to 50 pieces????
    - It's currently patched but why cap materials to only 10k?
    - You can respect all skills at once but not paragons... why? You have to click every single one of them to start again holy **** **** that's just so depresing.
    - No addons maybe?
    - You have to go to 3rd party websites to check when is going to be another WB, Helltide or Legion... why?
    - Im not a fan of the one item one slot thing. I know it's hard to code this i made my own inventory in my own game but how does it make sense to have 50kg double hand to take same space as a ring.. why is it have to be so simplified?
    - It's pretty much pointless to go out of town and do anything besides ND and now it's even worse, much worse. You don't get any EXP nor a better loot.
    - Talking about loot is it just my or is this crap so boring? How can rare item be rare when it drops 20 thousand **** times with the same boring stats over and over again. Look at Diablo 2. You drop white **** shield with only +15 enhanced defense and who knows it's good af. No you drop "rare" click 5 times add aspec there you go. You little crafter theres your achievement. This just make me so sad, so depresing. It's like for people with 20 IQ to feel good.
    - Side quests besides the "story" ones are just boring. pretty much everybody skips them and the "reward" is a just a pathetic so bad you want to kill yourself after. Yeah, there you go, you spent 20 minutes doing this now you can have 1 **** VEILED CRYSTAL. xDDDD What are you smoking guys
    - The amount of gold for stat rolls on items can get to astronomical numbers to the point when its just better to drop the item again
    - Cursed shrines/chests/wells can be real good or another crackhead story. Sometimes it's rly good, so much mobs you can't see **** over all the effects etc. And sometimes it will spawn 3 demons and 1 sucubus. You would expect to spawn more mobs in higher waves. No next time you get 3 demons and 2 sucubus. I don't know what to say. People who designed this should be fired. I skip these, waste of time.
    - Resource Burn affix is so OP i actualy started thinking it's out of season april fools joke. Litery one mob can drain your mana/essence etc. to absolute zero and you cant doo ****
    - Cobwebs are invisible have fun getting stuck every 5 meters
    - F you im done

    + - I enjoyed the story with my friends it was actualy fun and it was fun to get to like lvl 70+ but after that its just a stupid grind doing the same ND again and again and finding gear with +1% better stats...
    + Paragon tree is ok
    + They promised shop with only a cosmetic items so props to them at least...

    D4 is half baked. Are there things that I like? Sure. Does it over come the higher price tag? No. Its not worth the $70 bucks. If it was on sale for like $40, its probably worth the 12 hour campaign play and the fun to build a character.

    Once you get to level 60, the game dies off. The latest patch 1.1 doesn't address anything wrong with the game. Just get the mount to work right.

    Blizzard devs... So you nerf the game across the board for everyone that's enjoying it making painfully slow progress even slower, so that you can sell your battle pass and offer the bonuses that were once a part of the game? You guys are trash.

    If you played Diablo 3 and stopped playing nearly immediately once they started nerfing everything into the ground, you'll have the same feelings on D4. The developers do not care what we think is fun. I knew buying this was risky, and this confirmation means I'm done with Blizzard as a company.

    Zero QOL Changes for the Positive in the update. Stash space limited, rerolls insanely expensive and tedious, xp grind up exponentially. All of this to cover for a lack of content.

Helltides used to be one of the only things that brought players together and it felt like a team effort.

    Devs prioritizing cosmetics and battle pass over actual QOL.

    Level cap is 100. Loot progression is so bad post level 70 you may spend 8+ hours of play without finding a single piece of gear upgrade. Rerolling gear stats is so expensive, you're unable to effectively fish for better stats with the loot you find.

    Level 80 unique more often than not drop with worse stats than the level 60 version of the same unique you've been wearing for 20 levels. Its rare you get a better version than what you're using.

    Rather than create endgame activities the devs have slowed XP gain and have also ratcheted back defensive and offensive stats on gear in an attempt to make the slow grind even slower with no payoff at later levels.

    I have no idea how a huge game studio, with 20+ years making games in this genre, with so much public beta feedback, can ignore the player base and screw up this bad.

    1/10 because lillith is hot!

    The changes they continuously make are completely insane, and often accomplish the polar opposite of what they're trying to accomplish. For example, they said CDR was overly prioritized by the playerbase on available item rolls, so they nerfed the amount of CDR you could get. Hilariously, they could have simply allowed CDR to roll on other items to reduce the demand since the supply would be in more abundance. By nerfing the stat, they've effectively increased the demand, lol.

    This recent patch also destroyed any sort of build diversity.

    Honestly, I don't even think this team is capable of improving the game, because they simply don't understand it.

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

    tl;dr: A visually alluring but fundamentally flawed and a seriously lacking addition to the Diablo series. Slow gameplay, boring itemization, and ever lengthening time-sink requirements courtesy of misguided patches. Avoid wasting your money on this one.

    Diablo IV, the highly anticipated addition to the iconic action RPG franchise, delivers an atmospheric and visually impressive world with all the familiar elements that fans have come to love. However, it is impossible to overlook the developers' evident disconnection from the playerbase, as they prioritize lengthening time sinks over enriching the gameplay experience. This approach results in a title that feels unnecessarily tedious and monotonous, ultimately detracting from the potential greatness of the Diablo series.

    One of the most glaring issues with Diablo IV is the misguided notion that elongating the gameplay by making it take longer to complete things equates to a more challenging experience. Instead of offering intricately designed challenges and engaging encounters, the developers have resorted to inflating the game's content with time-consuming grinds, repetitive quests, and artificial difficulty spikes. This approach does not increase the game's difficulty in a meaningful way; it merely creates a sense of boredom and fatigue, distancing players from the once-thrilling Diablo universe.

    Despite the visually stunning graphics and well-crafted environments, the gameplay loop often feels stagnant and uninspired. The lack of innovative mechanics or substantial improvements over its predecessors gives rise to the impression that the developers were content to rely on the series' established formula without taking the risk to evolve the gameplay to new heights. As a result, Diablo IV feels like (and truly is) a step backward, rather than the much-anticipated evolution fans had hoped for.

    The gameplay is a grindy boring slow chore.
    It takes 120-150 hours to max level.
    Out of which after beating campaign you will spend all the time rerunning one and the same boring Nightmare dungeons, with repetitive tasks like free 7 prisoners, bring 3 tablets and kill 1 meaningless boss.
    The "120" dungeons are all the same.
    Itemization is so poor, that half of the stats that come on equipment are essentially worthless.
    There is not enough stash space to make more than 1 character, with a hard limit of 10 characters.
    Inventory size is a joke.
    Wherever the players find a way to play this broken game, the devs come (who seemingly never played their own game) and nerf/cut the fun down.

    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.
