    This game is trash now after the update. Had hopes in the beginning but it's been completely ruined by the nerfs and devs not listening to their overall player base on what needed to be changed. None of the QOL features have been added, and instead took everything else that made the game playable and burned it to the ground. I wish I could get a refund.

Respeccing is a chore as you need to imprint all your gear with new aspects, and have more aspects in case you'd like to revert back. Eternal realm characters completely nerfed to force players on the seasonal realm. I could go on, but in short, do NOT buy this game. You have been warned.… Expand

    Diablo 4 had a somewhat promising start, despite some glaring issues that were evident. However, it has become apparent that the Blizzard team behind Diablo 4 is not receptive to player feedback and seems to have their own hidden agenda.

    The gameplay feels slow and unsatisfying, with long cooldowns forcing players to wait before engaging another pack of enemies. Additionally, the occurrence of random one-shot deaths and permanent crowd control effects only adds to the unpleasant experience.

    Personally, I believe that an action role-playing game should be fast-paced, allowing players to swiftly navigate through maps and dungeons. Unfortunately, Diablo 4 falls far short of what I consider to be enjoyable for this genre.

    It's disheartening to see the developers taking the game in this direction, and as a Diablo 4 player, I feel that, at best, they misunderstand the essence of the genre, and at worst, they disregard player feedback and fail to respect our time.    … Expand

    Yea, but what should i say... The Last Patch just killed the Game for me. High EXP Cuts, Nerfs (Offensive and defensive) around the Board and just giving a sht on the Community, that paid 70$ Minimum each. In Fact almost all my Builds are dealing like 30-50% LESS damage and dying faster. And they nerfed a important stat in the game "Player have #% Increased fun while playing Diablo4" by almost 100%. Giving us items for BUGGED Resistances (!!!) and will be fixed in Season 2 (?!). Are you fcking kidding me? Uber Uniques that are so rare, that no one will ever see one. Trading is a Joke. Crafting is bad. Helltides just got WAAAY longer. No Gear Upgrades after level 70 (just small ones). Stashes are way to small (playing several builds and 2-3 Classes and you are fcked). No Loot filter at all. The Hardest Boss in the game doesnt have specific Drops, lmfao.
    I really had so much hope. But boy, here i am.. Bashing Blizzard on Metacritic. Blizzard is still so out of touch with the Community. Learned my final lesson now and will move on. I am using my Random Teleport to go to Baldurs Gate 3 or any other Game.    … Expand

    A Nightmare for Long-term Players: Diablo 4 Patch 1.1.0

    It's a painful marvel how swiftly a game that was once a challenging, engaging, and gratifying experience can morph into a source of frustration.

    It's a painful marvel how swiftly a game that was once a challenging, engaging, and gratifying experience can morph into a source of frustration. Diablo 4, a game I had devoted weeks of my life to, has morphed from a top-tier action role-playing game into a shattered shadow of its former self following the incomprehensible Patch 1.1.0.

    Before the patch, Diablo 4 was an unmatched masterpiece. It demanded patience, skill, and a sharp mind to achieve the perfect balance of offensive power, defense, and abilities. It was a glorious challenge worth mastering. But then came Patch 1.1.0, and suddenly nothing was the same.

    The alterations to the game mechanics were entirely disproportionate. The character progression, which previously represented a clear and tangible reward for invested time and efforts, was shattered and pieced back together, losing the essence of what made the game what it was. The love for detail that went into the min-maxing mechanic was brutally distorted. It felt as if my hard-earned gear disappeared into smoke overnight.

    Even worse, the equipment stats have gone completely out of balance. My painstakingly collected gear, which once made the difference between victory and defeat, was devalued as if my efforts meant nothing. Even the new damage calculation mechanism appears to be utterly arbitrary, making the gameplay frustrating and unsatisfactory.

    The changes go far beyond pure number games. They also touch the fundamental elements of gameplay. It's as if the developers decided to reinvent the wheel rather than building upon the strong foundations that Diablo 4 already had. The new system feels unbalanced, illogical, and unfinished, as if we, the players, are now serving as beta testers for an unfinished game.

    The most frustrating part of all this is Blizzard's apparent indifference to the community. They have preferred to make dramatic changes without gaining a clear consensus from the players. It's as if they have forgotten that we, the players, are the ones who pour countless hours into their world. Our opinion should count, especially when such drastic changes are in question.

    In the end, Patch 1.1.0 for Diablo 4 doesn't feel like an improvement but like a completely new vision that doesn't match the original game we loved. With the massive changes and the lack of communication from the developers, I feel alienated and betrayed. It's as if I'm no longer part of the Diablo community but a spectator forced to watch the game I once loved heading in a direction I cannot support.

    I'm disappointed, Blizzard. What you've done with Diablo 4 is nothing less than a betrayal to your most loyal players. The fact that we are the ones who suffer the most is a slap in the face that we didn't deserve.

    Diablo 4 was once a phenomenal game, but post-Patch 1.1.0, it's nothing more than a sad example of how to ruin a great game. I can't recommend it under these circumstances, sadly. It hurts me to write this, but I can only hope that Blizzard learns to respect its players and appreciate their passion and commitment.    … Expand

It is sadly met with making it worst than it was before. Prior to Season 1, they made a huge amount of nerfs to all classes, but more so to ones that were already struggling. Although the new malignant hearts CAN be quite powerful and useful. It is all situational and depends on what is meta at that time. They express a desire to let users have creativity with crafting their own build, yet they push you to a certain build. And not to mention the tedious chore to do everything again for skill and paragon points. I have forced myself to play the season, however slowly but steadily losing interest in continuing, as the leveling speed has been reduced. My duo partner has already lost interest and has recommended other games. In his words "I want to get to 100, but they nerfed how fast you get there. And I'm bored of renown, don't want to keep that if it comes back next season". A sentiment I share, tedious chores versus fun.… Expand

    The D4 game designers do not fundamentally understand what makes an ARPG fun. This is because many of the leads on D4 come from World of Warcraft.

Instead of making the BEST ARPG they could, they instead wanted to 're-imagine' Diablo from their own point of view so they added an Open World, side quests and boring reptitive dungeon fetch and deliver objectives. While the open world could be awesome, they didn't fill it with enough fun stuff to do, so it just ends up getting in the way of the fun. They tried to mask this lack of content by saying "OMG 120 dungeons!" but there are only a handful of tilesets, layouts are repeated over and over and ALL the activities in these dungeons are reptitious and boring. They said they spent 2 years on perfecting the itemization, but it's absolutely horrible. Tons of affixes that are just 'Number Go Up' type of stuff, except with conditions. Lastly their MMO lineage has them trying to balance the game perfectly, but NERFING everything (instead of buffing underperforming skills/classes). They don't understand that in an ARPG you don't want everything balanced perfectly, a lot of the fun is being able to create some really awesome builds that just crush content.

    For all of these reasons (and many more) I don't have much confidence that the Diablo 4 designers are capable of delivering an awesome game. I think the game will improve and after the first expansion it will probably be FAR more enjoyable to play with a lot more stuff to do, but the 'theme park' feeling they've brought to the game will always remain and it will never be truly great. Sad.

    If I were Microsoft, I'd start work on Diablo 5 now with an entirely new team, one that truly understands what makes an ARPG great.    … Expand

    The last patch has ruined the game avoid at all cost. If you where thinking about buying look at the patch notes and reviews from people playing. I wish I had never bought this game but who knew they make changes like this before a season started. Really look for the game to be 75% off before buying that how much it is really worth right now.

    No care for the players, only the money they already received. It's sad that they did this, but at least it lets the players know to not trust Blizzard in the future. Weird they would shoot their own foot like this, but I guess this is what they wanted.

    Why is Blizzard not listening to player feedback? Players write that the camera is too low, that the ballista that kills you is not visible because of the screen borders, this is not corrected.

Blizzard, maybe you need more white males on the development team, otherwise your project is similar to that submarine case.

    I still don’t understand why it was impossible to make a normal system for calculating the chance and strength of critical damage, elemental resistance, etc. It’s probably easier to hide from the players that your damage calculation is very crooked with all the conditions.    … Expand

Leading up to this week, I was told that the first season would give us characters that are "broken" and that set my expectations for the patch to increase the enjoyment of the game. After logging into the new patch, my enjoyment has entirely fallen off. The quality of life changes we asked for were ignored, the character power buffs we were hoping for to bring up less used builds were ignored, and the player power we had has been stripped. Blizzard has an opportunity to salvage this, but unless they make some major changes quickly, I can't see myself continuing to play this game nor do I think this game is worth the emotional investment of waiting for it to become playable.… Expand

    With a single patch, Diablo 4 became Diablo Immortal. Blizzard sold us the game we wanted and then modified it into the game their company wants us to play. Only the paid players will succeed and anyone who thought the $70 was already too much, will be forced to grind the same boring content until they shut down the servers in Season 2.

    The game, due to the changes made in Patch 1.10, is now incredibly slow and a total slog. Leveling was slowed down DRAMATICALLY and the speed at which your character can progress was nerfed into the ground.

    You will spend as much time looking at loading screens and waiting on your cooldowns to recharge as you will spend fighting monsters. The game is FILLED with bugs and some of the most game-breaking ones aren't slated to be fixed for another 4-6 months.    … Expand

    Blizzard have released a “patch” which nerfs every class in the game and has made all end game activities harder to do by requiring more time for less reward as before. There was no need for these changes and instead, Blizzard should listen and work with the community because, at the end of the day, we’re their source of income to continue support of the game.

    Diablo 4 began as a fun game. I paid $70 for it, full price, $70 for a game in a genre that's actually well-saturated with F2P titles that do EVERYTHING correctly.

    I paid for a premium ARPG experience, yet they give you the worst treatment possible. The latest season patch, I repeat, a SEASON PATCH, nerfed everything about the classes. They destroyed the already bad sorcerer class, they destroyed important stats, just to make progress slower so you can "enjoy more content". They did NOT add QoL updates, they did NOT add the performance fixes they mentioned, they did NOT fix any problems the whole community talked about, they literally did.. nothing.

    They ignored all the simplest of wishes, they added no quality, no reason to play this game anymore, they only made everything that already existed way way worse. As silly as it sounds. And they called it a season patch. The patch that every ARPG releases with TONS of content.

    So did they release content? Yes, they added a few unique items with literally no reason to exist, some so buggy that they teleport you into the ground. Anything else? Yes, new affixes with no reason to exist, they're just there to slow your item-chasing down, because new useless affixes mean that you have to search for longer, as the stat-pool is now larger with useless stats.

    This game has a nice story, and it's fun to level from 50 to 60. After that, you're done. There is no endgame in this ARPG, as silly as it sounds. And the new season patch made the non-existent endgame even slower, more useless, and just bad.    … Expand

    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.
