    The first negative review was for blizzard, very bad update, I was not so angry about the stolen account before, I re-registered and bought D4, I worked hard to collect even enchanted equipment, and directly changed the bad equipment, I never pursued top-notch gameplay, just played the game smoothly, why should 1% of people apply the method to 99% of players, I really don’t understand

    My main lvl 93 sorcerer is destroyed after patch 1.1. Now my character have no def and no dmg. I spent so much time and gold to build my character to the current states. Will not comeback to the game before Blizzard fix sorcerers. Whoever decided it's a good idea to mass nerf like this should be fired NOW

    This is just a beautifully drawn rehash money grab. My gaming time, dollars, goes elsewhere.    … Expand

    Blizzard continuously made bad design decisions and constantly lied to players. They DO NOT listen the players and their opinions, actively made decisions to improve profits but haven't realized they already destroyed the game.

    Never had this much excitement for a game turn around so fast. Devs are oblivious to the glaring issues and don’t listen to fanbase. Blizzard has successfully killed my favorite childhood game.

    A game that cost over 70 Dollar, yet it fails to provide any improvement or more gameplay and only cut down the fun from player.
    The lag/rubber banding from server was never fixed. But in newest patch, they fixed nothing about the game. Only making the gaming experience even worst.
    It's clearly the dev/blizzard were incapable to listen to players or they have run out of things they can offer.

    Devs killed the game for Season 1, nerfs everything fun about the game and makes me not want to play anymore. Could’ve been a great game but the developers obviously don’t even play their own game.

However, I have played from early release until now and likely wont be playing any longer. The game does have positive aspects. Its visuals are beautiful and the story was well told. The way the game has been handled by blizzard since the release has been messy at best. Continuous nerfs to various abilities and farming methods was very frustrating, though some things legitimately needed to be hotfixed, but the latest patch not fixing ANY of the numerous core issues plaguing the game and instead instating even more nerfs is extremely confusing.

    Who ever is making decisions about patch priorities should be reassessed. We (mostly) tend to play video games to have fun and the long list of hotfixes and this recent patch have active removed this element from the game. Why would anyone play something that is no longer fun?

    Server Lag is horrible. There is a known memory leak that still remains unfixed that causes frequent game crashes. The effectiveness of many builds were destroyed and there is no compensation for all the players that now have to reassess and rebuild their characters since the issue of respeccing/ cost is still unaddressed.

    There is much more that can be discussed but it seems to fall on deaf ears with blizzard.

    TLDR; I do not recommend this game in its current state. The ratio of enjoyment to frustration is too high.    … Expand

    They took your money at launch and gave up. Season 1 is looking to be the worst seasonal launch to an ARPG in history. Uninstall and play something better. Don't waste your money on this

    Devs are incompetent.
    The best value is to 'selling less complete game'
    Never buy a Blizzard game again.

    There was so much hype behind this game that all they had to do was make it as good as Diablo 3. Instead of tried to reinvent the wheel and we ended up with something worse than the release of Diablo 3 with an even worse season patch. So much of nostalgia ruined. They will continue to make it worse by trying to monetize the game more and more.

    Diablo Dev in a nutshell: uodate everything that is fun.
    How do we get players to play more and longer hours?
    Reduce exp gain, add more walls, slow them down, make them wait longer.

    How do we make it challenging for players? Nerf class skills, nerf damage, nerf items, nerf aspects, buff monster.

    Also, delete sorcerer

    The Developers don't want you to have fun in this game. They keep buffing and nerfing the characters back and forth with no real vision. Not to mention they updated the game to make people grind longer with 99.9% useless and duplicated loot.

    Blizzard is dead. Incompetent devs. It's practically a single player power fantasy, very counter intuitive vision of where the game should be going.

    First patch absolutely ruined this game. Drops are terrible and loot is not worth chasing. Anything worth doing got nerfed, on top of everyone’s builds. Lack of endgame content is an embarrassment.

    No endgame content and a development team that despise thier player base create an empty, boring, and overall bad experience. Stay away from everything Blizzard.

    I have never thought I will create an account for this game. At first I still believe this game have hope, they will learn from the failure of Diablo 3. But as we see they have learn nothing. At 18/7 I saw the patch note1.1, my mind have been blown. The nerf we get are ridiculous, it make my Barbadian become ****

    I was enjoying the game for all of its launch flaws and incompleteness and I was looking forward to the first season to start. It was already a little slow. Then the first major patch dropped and they destroyed everything that was still fun about the game.

    This game was perfect but with the new changes it just made this game so unfun, it appears they are forcing people to never play eternal charcters ever again to force everyone to play new season for them to have a chance to purchase thier season pass. overall not happy with the results on this.

    Gameplay just feels awful now

    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.
