    Extremely disappointed with the 1.1.0 patch. There are too many fundamental, unwarranted balance changes. This could have been a chance to capitalize on the season 1 hype. Power gaming is part of the reason a lot of us play and now all classes/characters are weaker.

    Blizzard nerf everything, including my enthusiasm.
    I request a full refund on this game.

    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

    It was a ok game until Blizzard " The **** company " found out we were having some fun and Blizzard did not like that and patch the game. AND Which of you that are testing the patch thinks this was a good idea? A brain dead monkey could see that this sucks. **** you all. AND THIS IS HOW YOU KILL A GAME. Well done devs

    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

    ok so blizzard actually made a decent game to begin with, maybe not what everyone wanted but atleast it had something for everybody. story was alright, casuals could enjoy it at their own pace and hardcore gamers (degenerate) could still play it for hundreds of hours.

    Then the dev team woke up one day and they said, damm how can I kill any enjoyment this game has for everyone... oh    ok so blizzard actually made a decent game to begin with, maybe not what everyone wanted but atleast it had something for everybody. story was alright, casuals could enjoy it at their own pace and hardcore gamers (degenerate) could still play it for hundreds of hours.

    Then the dev team woke up one day and they said, damm how can I kill any enjoyment this game has for everyone... oh yeah I know! let's nerf everything around the board and make people feel weak in an arpg that already has low density of monsters! When I say nerfs it's of a magnitude of almost half the power we had and that BEFORE a new season.

    to top it off as a big middle finger to their playerbase that were dumb enough to spend money on a blizzard game, they also made teleporting out of a dungeon 5 seconds instead of 3... why? that's anyone's guess but I think it's only to inflate playtime.... yay wasting people time for no reason..

    i'm just sad that they took a game with already some issues that could be better and possibly a great arpg if they decided to fix those but then they decided to just throw it in the garbage because of that horrible dev team. the diablo franchise will never be the same.    … Expand

    The games made by a group of self-centered people don’t understand what the players want. The games made by Blizzard in the past were all high-quality products, and the players accepted them after repeated delays. Now how long has this Diablo 4 been developed? After making it like this, how can you give players the confidence?

    Forget Diablo until now. The current developers are incompetent. In response to the lack of content, they take steps to increase playtime by slowing down the growth rate. It's like taking steps to slow down the roller coaster to the customer's response that the roller coaster is short.

    This is obviously made by less skilled professionals & controlled by greedy scumbags who just want eyes on screen to go up. This is all to make people buy seasons as well so they can show off pretty spreadsheets to their shareholders during quarterly calls.

    As a casual who still hasn't been able to make it to Lvl 100 (currently at 88), I don't understand the recent changes to the game.

    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.
