    Playing Blizzard games since forever. Seeing everything Activision did - It's like seeing best friend from school - 'methzombie' barely living under the bridge - and you can't do anything to help - It just hurts...

    It hurts me to say it, but the game started really, really great.
    To get to level 50 was a lovely joy, like walking into a dream...

    I have other games i like to play, i have other games i WANT to play and i HATE the feeling that a game is trying to trap me.
    If i got sooner to lvl 100, doing helltides, whispers or any other thing on the open world, I was going to 100% be creating a LOT of other characters to have the same hush experience.
    Bu being trapped like a **** rat? unable to get to lvl 100 because the ONLY way is to get xp on **** nightmare boredons?
    Its sucks more than EVER to live in Brazil and have payed almost 50% of our minimal wage on this game.

    I never played any part of Diablo part, so when Diablo IV lauchned i wanted to try the new part, and take part of the journey at the beginning. This was a terrible decision.

    Ect.... The list goes on. In what world is this okay. There has been 581 "fixed issues" in 7 weeks. JFC..
    If a car company was selling cars that did not have features form 23 years ago and need 581 fixes and feedback from their customers... They would go out of business...why is it okay for the game industry to do this. Why do our rights not count, because it's digital content? We forgo any and all rights to these sleazy companies?

    They lied when they said the cash shop would not take priority over the game. And they literally blew that in the first 60 seconds of season 1. Cash shop gets 10 new skins (that cost around $25 each) and the battle pass gets 2 skins, and one of them absolutely sucks.

    I could go on. It's heart breaking. I blame Microtransactivision. This sleazy company will monetize any and everything. To quote a famous movie "You will never find a greater hive of scum and villainy" than that of Activision.

    Microsoft please clean house. And put your paying customers first. Something that has not been done in a long time by this company.

    Anyone who has shares in the company would be wise to sell them quickly.

    A company that was once loved by gamers is now despised by them. I expect the administrators will be knocking on the door in about 5 years tops.

    Boycott blizzard and encourage other people to do the same

    Campaing is great i had a lot of fun. But then come the endgame, or a lack of it. there is no point of doing dungeons or bosses cause u cant trade the loot cause most of the items are soulbound. One of the biggest fun you can have doesnt exist in this game, I mean find an item you can sell and buy yourself items that you wanted for you character. Wasted money.

I won't even go into the stash issues, i really loved playing Diablo 1 & 2, then 3 was a little bitter sweet but 4 to pay so much for the ultimate edition was utterly disappointing.

    - Horses
    - No build variety
    - Most affixes just trash
    - prices for rerolling way too high
    - Endgame feels unrewarding and boring. You dont need to get to max level cause you can find on Tier 4 items with max item power. Your only way to get stronger is with paragon points, but XP on higher levels takes way too long. So you can reach your max item level at lvl 70-80. Then you can look for the perfect item with the perfect rolls. But because there are so many trash stats, i'd prefer looking for a needle in a haystack.

    Smaller problems:
    - running circles in dungeons
    - gold drop
    - stash space
    - Glyph leveling not rewarding and capped
    - Battlepass (666 coins)

    A Disastrous Disappointment: Diablo 4 Fails Gamers on Every Level

    I recently made the grave mistake of shelling out a jaw-dropping $130 for Diablo 4, expecting a gaming experience that would be worth its weight in gold. What I got instead was an absolute disaster that left me questioning the sanity of the developers and the sanity of anyone who actually enjoys this travesty. Let's    A Disastrous Disappointment: Diablo 4 Fails Gamers on Every Level

    I recently made the grave mistake of shelling out a jaw-dropping $130 for Diablo 4, expecting a gaming experience that would be worth its weight in gold. What I got instead was an absolute disaster that left me questioning the sanity of the developers and the sanity of anyone who actually enjoys this travesty.

    Let's start with the most glaring issue: the lack of WASD support. In an era where gaming has evolved to cater to various player preferences and abilities, Diablo 4 has decided to regress back to the Stone Age. Who on Earth thought that denying players the basic freedom of using WASD controls was a good idea? Apparently, the developers are either blissfully unaware of the gaming landscape or simply sadistic, reveling in the suffering of players with arthritis, carpal tunnel, or any other disability that makes traditional controls difficult.

    But oh, don't worry, because apparently having control options isn't supposed to translate to good gameplay. No, according to the masterminds behind Diablo 4, we're all just supposed to adapt to their archaic control scheme and be grateful for the privilege of enduring their nonsensical design choices. Because who needs player accessibility and comfort when you can frustrate your audience to the point of tears?

    And let's not even get started on the price tag. $130 for a game that's stuck in the past, not even bothering to acknowledge the basic standards of user-friendly controls? It's as if the developers are actively trying to rob players blind while simultaneously flipping them the middle finger. Congratulations, Blizzard, you've managed to outdo yourselves in creating a product that redefines the meaning of buyer's remorse.

    In conclusion, Diablo 4 is a catastrophic failure on every conceivable level. Its lack of WASD support is a slap in the face to gamers with disabilities, and the notion that control options are somehow irrelevant to good gameplay is mind-bogglingly absurd. Save your hard-earned money and precious time for a game that actually respects its players and embraces modern gaming conventions. Diablo 4 is a prime example of how not to make a game, and I can only hope that the developers come to their senses before inflicting more misery upon unsuspecting players.    … Expand

    where the hell is the end game. There is literally no point going past lvl 70. You can get all the endgame (highest itemlevel) gear from this point. So being lvl 100 only makes it harder, because of this scaling. Then cherry on top, why? Why would you want to be level 100. There is no end game content where you can get better loot or do real UBER bosses to get even better gear.

    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.
