    Really wish they would offer a refund for this scam game.

    They just keep making the game less enjoyable every patch. Season 1 content is just laughable and then they want battlepass sales. Nah hard pass already uninstalled. Regret purchase.

    Had such high hopes for this game after waiting 10yrs for it.

Very few players have even maxed out the character they started at launch yet! after D3 seasons, i'm not restarting a new character every season again. f**k that.… Expand

    The only reason to play the game is continuing the Diablo franchise story, which is probably best done by watching a video of someone completing. This is due to the fact that they have side quests that do not align healthily with the story.

    Blizzard Is it right for you to change this way? You are not listening to the opinions of the players at all. Let the players play with you, let’s hack professionally. Are the players not important? Have you listened to the opinions of the players?

    Do not bother waste your money. Patch 1.1.0 took the fun out of the game. I am requesting a refund for the game since I cannot play the game to a previous patch. Doubt I will get my money back. So for you that has not purchased the game. Be warned. DO NOT BUY!

    Hello I'v been playing from the normal release until now.
    Did a level 100 druid and started a new one on the season.
    After around 3 hours its became clear to me that 5-7 new items will not make me waste another month of grinding levels and i ain't gonna do it with 50% nerf to all classes. The amount of "new content" is basically in a mobile game app monthly update amount or less. Game    Hello I'v been playing from the normal release until now.

    Game had great potential. Stupid developers killed it and wasted millions of people time.

    Game is also half backed with no working resistance systems. That fact did not stop the developers adding those stats to items and skills but its text only because the game don't have it in the system..

    Extremely limited loots for a looting game is just sad. You farm levels not gear.

    Limited inventory space and storage just to troll the players.

    No loot filter. No item filter.

    I mean I originally didn't intend to buy the game but I was given the impression that at least the campaign would be worth it... Oh boy do I regret getting it. But first the good :
    - The gameplay has a good base
    - The very start and end of the campaign are good

    Now the bad :
    - The reste of the campaign is a meaningless blob
    - The game tries REALLY hard to look complex and deep with weird affixes on items but is actually shallow
    - The open world is just a way to justify chores to impose on the player before they can enjoy "the game"
    - Nothing actually feels really good. That's harsh but here's what I mean :
    With the world and dungeons automatically scaling with your level, reaching a sweet upgrade in your talents makes no difference in the feeling of your fights. The same is true with gear, your get biggers stats but the enemies too. The wolves of the start of the game too, they will always be at your level. What a way to feel your progress !
    Also most of the gear looks ... Too realistic ? There's no fantasy in the gear you find, and they all look like the boring grey boot you found in your first chest.
    The game imposes you a lot of thing you will have to do before accessing the endgame which is SUPPOSED to be the sweet spot. And before you inflict yourself with tense if no hundreds of hours to get there, let me tell you, it's not. It's currently grinding dungeons. Which by the way are bad and boring and make you track back all the time and complete stupid objectives.

    Also there is no actually sweet Legendary equipment. Most new effect is so conditional that they are a best boring and at worst just very bad. Unlike D3 for instance where I was excited to find some uniques because they allowed some sweet unique builds. OH I ALMOST FORGOT. Even if we had sweet unique legendaries, you couldnt do that because after a while the investment in your paragon board is so heavy that it would be easier to build another new character with a new build thant to respect the one you spent hundreds of hours on. I know, that's what we all asked for right ?

    You thought that was bad ? Here's another :
    You thought 70$ for an ... OK-ish game is expensive ? LOL Now you gotta add 10$ for each season if you don't want to be stuck with majorly lackluster rewards on your season. Season which has a very underwhelming new mechanic to boot. That's ... Almost OK in a F2P game but in a 70$ game, WHO ARE THEY KIDDING?!

    Honestly if you want to play a relaxed arpg keep playing Diablo 3, if you like complexity stay on PoE and stop making my mistake and giving a chance to Blizzard, they are the worst.    … 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.
