    All they do is slow the game expecting users to spend their life in this game. 99% major patch = how to make users suffer and spend time longer doing anything in this game. Waste of time playing. just go play POE or Last Epoch or Baldurs Gate 3. Blizzard is dead 10 years ago with the real Lich King.

    Imagine playing a game and enjoying it and really looking forward to play the first season...then the devs just "balance" changes anything to make the game less fun.

    graphics and story are good but frankly speaking this game is clearly going nowhere as the devs have clearly demonstrated a mindset of "make the game as long and tedious as possible so players cannot accomplish anything and therefore will not quit"

    i've had the game for about 2 weeks the latest nerf ruined the game for me.
    blizzard staff is obviously stupid and failed to learn something square Enix learned in final fantasy 11
    you do not nerf the skills you bring other skills up. if things die too fast buff their def and hp its not hard nothing had to change, just make dungeons for max level that are made harder.

    SCAM Alert, dont waste your money on this trash. With 100$ It give you 24hour worth of content and about 24 more of grind. And then they charge you 30$ so they can neft everything down to make you play the same game but it harder, slower

    I've been playing 14 hours a day every day and this game sucks.

    Blizzard has no idea how to design games for Meth users or my crackhead friends.

    Leveled a 100 Sorc. 1.1 Patch shows how little the team plays the game. Fiery Surge was boosted, yet the ability never worked and still doesn't.

    They disrespect players time by arbitrarily nerfing xp gain and also nerfing power leveling methods. We just want to level up and have fun, not grind our life away trying to level up. They are compensating for lack of end game content by trying to make leveling take longer. This is truly disrespectful to our time as players. It was already bad enough grinding to level 100.

    I haven’t even mentioned the poor quality of life they gave us with not enough inventory space, no search in stash.
    Go ahead and grind your gear trying to min max everything and then they come along and hit many builds with 40% damage nerfs while also needing our damage reduction.

    Blizzard is more interested in introducing changes that intentionally slow down game-play and reverse progression in order to artificially inflate game time - instead of introducing new content and challenges - in order to very transparently milk money from players.

    Instead of addressing class bugs like the minion necro and making it more playable, Blizzard seems to be more focused on turning the game into a grind-fest due to the live service model.

    It's a bit disappointing as players would prefer improvements in quality of life and bug fixes rather than increasing the grindiness of the game.

    Spent 300 hours getting to level 100 with Barbarian. Gearing him up to do nightmare dungeons and blizzard in there wisdom decided to nerf the crap out him 50% less damage and defences. What a total waste of my time and money. Stick your seasons up your arse blizzard.

    Stash Inventory is horrible and they wont fix it till season 2. Leveling takes forever as if this was WoW from 2002.

    This practice of coming up with a half developed game, selling it as a complete one and then paying Youtubers to market it aggressively to cheat the causal base who bought this out of past nostalgia needs to stop.

    I may be just an insignificant idiot who forked out $100 to buy your marketing and half developed game, (and spend 100-200 hours playing it in the hope that the end game gets better/your promises via community engagement sounds sincere and reasonable), but here is me leaving my honest review.

    For others who haven't bought the game, please don't. This is not a 'review bomb' as per what their marketing/PR team is selling, but it is a review of just an average joe who has stuck by the Blizzard name and loved the Starcraft, WOW and Diablo franchise, who heard good things about the new addition to the Diablo franchise and decided to 'vote with his wallet' to support the devs. Instead, I wasted money and time, and whatever ounce of goodwill/nostalgia I have with the Blizzard brand name.    … Expand

    ActiBlizz continues to spit in the faces of consumers. They use a nostalgic name to gut those of their time and money. There are plenty of ways you can defend this game, but the negatives far out weigh the positives. Constant added time sinks so they can bolster play time hours just to pad their own pockets. The gaming community will continue to be taken advantage of at this rate.

This is my first review in this site and I just created an account specifically for this. My druid is lvl100 already but cant clear anymore NM T70+. In order for you to adjust to the current change, you will need to grind again lower tier dungeons to farm golds to respec your paragon board and also haunt items again with other aspects, game is dead.

    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.
