    We all know that big companies are primarily out to make money, but the obvious greed with which Blizzard is shovelling their pockets full here just disgusts me.
    The first time I played Diablo I really enjoyed it, I found the story pleasantly adult, the graphic style more to my taste and the progress you could make okay.

Especially as an after-work gamer who can't go all out every day. The game content after the story was more for the really dull mind, but okay. It's Diablo and Diablo is the grind. But their now presented "solution" for missing content is just silly and the logic behind it simply disgusting. Instead of working with new, creative ideas that would get players into their season (and yes, spend money there too.) they just make everything take longer, become more annoying and overall much less fun. And then you're supposed to pay for that and enjoy playing the game? Practically none of the things that were criticised and denounced in the run-up have changed, and after hundreds of hours of play in Season 1 you might be back where you were before the season, thanks to the mostly rarely stupid Season 1 content? Thanks for that. Only 2 weeks until Baldur's Gate 3, Blizzard can learn how to create a game that is fun for the customers.    … Expand

    Ruining the game, I so regret purchasing the deluxe edition, xbox version and yet another standard version for a friend.
    We are all so disappointed and will not touch this game any more and most likely not another piece of blizzard "game" again. This is ridiculous and it's so obvious the only reason is that they want people to buy battle passes.

    Season 1 Patch notes show that the developers don't know what their playerbase wants in a game and they're willing to overhype pages upon nerfs as something to be excited about in order to generate sales.

    The patch for Season 1 kills the game. Barbarian got nerf too much that force players to switch to other class completely. I don't like this change.

    If they feel players progress the game too fast, they should add more stronger enemies, instead of nerfing everything without thinking.

    Disappointed.

This latest iteration of the franchise cost me $100 for the top tier package.

    1. The game offers (for me) about 1 month of content. Replay value is minimal for various reasons explained below.

    2. The grind to max level is long and brutally repetitive. Repeating the same actions over and over for minimal results is not fun.

    3. End-game content is minimal. Once a character is max level, the game becomes a garbage man simulator. You pick up the trash, you take the trash to the dump. Repeat ad infinitum.

    4. Certain items, "Uniques", some of which are necessary for a particular class or build to reach maximum potential, are essentially unobtainable without devoting huge amounts of time to the same boring and repetitive grind. If you have a full time job, or a family, or any other commitments which may preclude devoting vast quantities of time to farming the same content over and over, you might as well forget about it.

    5. My experience, typically, over many years of playing various games, is that the longer you play the game and the more time you spend working on your character, the better and more powerful it becomes. That is NOT the case with Diablo 4. This is not a fault with the game itself, but rather the developer. You can have a perfectly built character, and in a single stroke, with one patch, your ability and power is gone. What you could do yesterday you cannot do today. What was easy yesterday is hard today. What worked yesterday does not work today. What used to be good is now bad. What used to be bad is still bad. The time you spent to build your character has been wasted. These heavy-handed and arbitrary changes can happen at any time, and for any reason, or for no reason whatsoever. Your character is worse today than it was yesterday through absolutely no fault or error of your own.

    In short, the game is very grind-oriented with minimal end-game content and the very high possibility that any work you do will be negated with the next patch. Essentially, it's a less rewarding job that you don't get paid for. it's a working-in-corporate-America simulator. Anyone who enjoys working as a middle management drone for a large corporation will probably enjoy Diablo 4. Most of the elements are there: the soul-crushing grind for little reward, the long hours sitting at a computer, completely arbitrary changes in corporate policy with no warning or explanation, the unobtainable rewards, the stress, the family problems, the hopelessness, the "voluntary" corporate events that you really have to go to if you want to stay competitive, etc. The only things missing are the mediocre paycheck and health insurance. Instead, you have to pay for the experience.    … Expand

I'm a Diablo fan. I saw all the early issues with the game but still trusted the company due to my D2 and D3 experience. I even bought a 2nd copy because the D4 stash is too small even after I created mules - I wanted to play 3 different classes and there's no way the stash plus all the rest mules is enough.

    But the recent patch 1.1 gave me the wakening call that the team running this game will never fix it, nor making it good. Because what they think the game should be is totally different from the user base. The addressed 0 issues raised by the user base, including stash space, resistance doesn't work, sorc unplayable end game because all the mobs can one-shot you. etc. etc. Sorc was a powerful class in Beta which caps at lv 25, so they simply nerfed the popular skill Hydra by 60%, and a few others skills which can reduce cool down. The user base complained. Sorc could only run the frost build. Devs in the fireside chat said they listened, and they had this long list of patch note prepared. Everyone was looking forward to the patch note, everyone assumed sorc can be fixed. Ha! Can you imagine they nerf sorc, and especially hydra even more? They didn't mention this in the patch notes, but they changed the lucky hit rate of hydra from 53% (cast based) to 2.5% (hit based). Ice blade 71% to 5%. Yes it's a huge nerf because the conj stills won't hit that many times (especially ice blade, so clumsy).

    They nerfed all classes. Why, why??? Because they don't have other ways to engage players. Instead they make it harder to pass the game, so we are forced to stay longer, and they may make money in this.

    Or, perhaps they've already got our money, and they just choose the most annoying changes so we don't stay, no pressure to their server, and they can use the money to develop WoW - btw the D4 feels like WoW which I don't like.

    You won't find the Diablo game you like in D4. It's frustrating, repetitive, and I don't feel their team has good decision makers. It's unbelievable they'd do this unless, really, they want to push us away so their server maintenance cost is lower.    … Expand

    The latest patch ruined the game. You take more damage, do less damage, helltides are worse, gearing is made so you struggle, and every class is NERFED. Loot will drop less and still drops useless loot at max level. You are penalized for group play due to increased mob health. There is no endgame content. Build diversity doesn't exist.

    I can't talk for other classes but I've played a Necromancer, that only has a single viable spec (bone spear) that was terribly nerfed. Out of all the talents and possible build this class had to offer, only one can be realistic played without depending on those crazy niche build and items synergies and they broke it.
    And let's also please mention that this build feels nothing like a Necromancer. It's just a rebranded mage that throw bones instead of ice shards. Blizz refused to give the Necro a decent summon build which is the core of the identity of this class.
    I will maybe get back to the game next year, when Blizz decides to listen to it's user base. This reminds me of the D3 auction house disaster when they tried to ruin the whole game and decided to move away from it after months of critiques.    … Expand

Loot drop rates seem to be based on trading with other players, but there is no way to do so. End game activities were already lacking, and they have now been reduced even further. So, things now take longer, reward less, and appear to have but a single design gial in mind: Delay everything so that Activision can artificially inflate their aytime metrics. Instead of accomplishing this by making an enjoyable game that people want to play, they make every activity take longer and actively hotfix anything that people find to make the game enjoyable. They actually increased the channel time to leave a dungeon when it is finished...

    To quote an almost perfect synopsis of the most recent patch:

    "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 fetch the stones and put them on the pedestals." https://www.reddit.com/r/diablo4/comments/153hzqg/what_blizzard_doesnt_understand/ Collapse    … Expand

    One of the first major red flags was the devs completely disabling certain aspects because, ultimately, the game is just severely unfinished and most definitely untested. These actions made certain characters unplayable. That was over a month ago, and it's been a worsening **** show since.

    There is no possible way this game was worked on consistently for 10 years and probably not even 5.

You level your characters to reach certain stats and thresholds. You level your characters to focus on what is the most powerful or fun to play. Then Blizzard comes in and changes, not bug fixes, which impacts the basic damage, cool down reduction, actual stats available, armor, didn't fix resistances which is broken, overall defense, and overall experience gain.

They have max level everything and perfect or near perfect gear. It wasn't a balance patch it was an intentional bump back for the majority of their player base. If they do it once, they likely will do it again. Very frustrating to get the stats needed for several important bonuses, sign in the next day and your gear and skills have had stats removed and now you have to completely rebuild to get them back. Pointless frustration.… Expand

    Perspective of someone that's completed the campaign and is in "endgame" (Note: Campaign was decent, but short and only somewhat exciting compared to Diablo3): This game was already a 2nd job to play, and by that I mean you're spending hours doing the same things over and over again with no feeling of accomplishment or progression whatsoever. You can't even feel like you're getting betterPerspective of someone that's completed the campaign and is in "endgame" (Note: Campaign was decent, but short and only somewhat exciting compared to Diablo3): This game was already a 2nd job to play, and by that I mean you're spending hours doing the same things over and over again with no feeling of accomplishment or progression whatsoever. You can't even feel like you're getting better at the game, because even when you "push" higher tier nightmare dungeons your character's not geared for, you get garbage loot that's FAR below your character's level or the gear you already have equipped. The game is very VERY thin on endgame loot. There is nothing very unique or exciting to find. You are literally just doing the same activity over and over again in the same manner, to once again port back to town, to disassemble or sell off another large collection of trash. Over and over again. No gear upgrades. Nothing exciting or new happens. That's the endgame. Trash loot recycling simulator.

    Now, Blizzard looked at their players' progression and said "They've progressed to the depressing and pointless endgame too quickly! We have to make it harder for them to get there!" and are nerfing any and all abilities that could make a player feel "powerful" or even "capable" of completing the endgame content (which is already thin, boring and fruitless).

    This is all being done in the name of "engagement" which is the term game devs use to describe "addiction and manipulation tactics" to keep you locked to their game and not able to play any other game. FOMO BS that almost all game devs are using these days. "Seasonal" drip-fed content that keeps you locked into a daily check-in in order to get your next pebble of "content" (some lame-ass weapon skin or mount armor). We have to push back on this garbage and show devs that we don't want to be seen as revenue streams sitting in front of their gambling machines, pulling the handle over and over again to get our crumbs for the week. We have to stop supporting this crap. By Blizzard essentially making everything about this game even more difficult and slower, they're showing us that they really only care about keeping you on the hook for every minute they can drain from your life. It's not fun, it's not entertaining or challenging. It's trash game design at best. Protip game devs: Make a game people actually want to play, and you won't have to resort to just building the walls higher.    … Expand

Instead, it feels more like a 'Vendor Simulator 4' where you spend considerable time running between monsters, sorting through loot, and selling it rather than engaging in meaningful combat.

    Additionally, Diablo 4 follows a live service model, and I was disheartened to learn that Blizzard chose to overlook 142 exploiters who essentially cheated the game to obtain powerful, rare items. Their response was deeply disappointing, merely stating that they were aware of the cheaters but opting not to take any action this time, with the possibility of addressing it in the future. This unfair treatment allows their streamer partners and others to retain their unfair advantage throughout the game. This breach of integrity led me to the decision of uninstalling the game, as Blizzard failed to maintain a level playing field for all players.    … Expand

    Diablo IV was marketed and sold as a retail game. It was not marketed as still in development or early access. I would argue that the player base has been treated like unpaid testers by Blizzard. Not purchasers of a working retail product.

    The game is incredibly shallow. The main campaign is short and pretty boring if I am honest. The end game is also uninspiring. The dungeons and boss fights quickly feel reused and repetitive. The loot is largely garbage. Also the game is missing a lot of quality of life mechanics that have pretty much become the standard. These might be added later. Potentially in the cash shop.

    This game is meant for season players only. Season characters are only good for that season. My understanding is that seasons will last three months. This is where the new content is. New content as of now will not make its way to the permanent server. This means a player will need to level four characters a year to see the new content.

    Speaking of the server. I have seen a lot of people reporting having issues with disconnects. I only experienced this a couple times. Nothing excessive but probably worth mentioning as it has definitely been a talking point.

    Now the patch and season one. What Blizzard pulled was the classic bait and switch. They boosted the characters to make the game a more enjoyable experience at launch. Then crushed the permanent server players with nerfs. I am hoping for a No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk type rebound for the game. I would not hold my breath though.

    If the experience that is available today was available when the game was released; it would hold a couple more records. It would still be the fastest selling game of all-time. However it would also hold several games returned records.    … Expand

    The game was quite good, yes, It has a lot of work to be done: quite routine endgame content, some skills were useless, game has some bugs with armor / resistances. And what the Blizzard do in the "big patch"? They slowing down game instead of balancing things and making new endgame activities. Amazing. 0/10, that shows us the real attitude for players

    Dumbest balanced. Nerf everything we can play. Endlessly nerf the strongest build, not considerings buff the minor use build.

    After this patch, they destroyed the fun.
    They didn't improve about the stash..the inventory instead they nerfed everything to push ourselves to playing seasons. Awful tactic

    I made this account just to give Diablo 4 an honest review. Blizzard never passes up a chance to disappoint.

    New update absolutely fcked the game. If the goal of the developers were to stop people from playing the game, congrats. You guys did it!

    Game was *OK* until latest garbage patch gutted everything, the blatantly clear intent of which is to force people to play longer, make it more difficult to progress, thereby spending more time in game hopefully buying more ugly-ass skins, and paying for the quarterly Season passes to try to regain some of the ability they lost.

Then they "conveniently" decide to host a fireside chat in response to backlash, but only AFTER Season 1 launch so they can see how much they can get away with.

    I get that companies exist to make money... sell the game, great. Sell seasons, fine. But this blatant manipulation to keep players locked in AFTER they have progressed, found gear, and become used to and are enjoying a certain type of play... total garbage from a garbage company. I'm only one person, but clearly one of many. Uninstalled, and they will never get another cent from me.    … Expand

    Blizzard does what Blizzard does best. They take a great game and destroy it. Where Overwatch took a few years to kill, with Diablo 4, they managed to do it in a month. I spent countless hours grinding my main to level 100 and farming all the best possible stats. Only to wake up one morning and see all my hard work completed nerfed to the ground.

Only to wake up one morning and see all my hard work completed nerfed to the ground. Not only that, Blizzard decided to make it even longer and worse, a game that already took a ton of time to get into the non-existent end game. The bottom line is to avoid this game and anything related to Blizzard. The old Blizzard is dead. These current Devs need to figure out what makes a game fun.

    - Nerfed XP gain in a game that already was a huge time sink to get to the end game.

    - Nerfed player power, both offensively and defensively, across the board made everyone weaker after spending hundreds of hours farming for gear, and just out of the blue, they made all our equipment irrelevant.

    - Nerfed Player enjoyment, reducing cooldowns so we can't use our abilities more.

    These are just a few dumb changes they made that no one asked for. But they completely ignored what we, the players, have asked for from the beginning to make the game more fun. These dev don't enjoy their own game.    … 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.
