    Not listening to the community request and pushing out lazy nerf bloated updates. Devs definitely don’t want the players to have fun.

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

    man… what started off as a great game with a lot of potential has already been ruined, and devs aren’t gonna walk back their decisions. they just made quite possibly the worst balance changes i’ve ever seen in any rpg of all time, and i’ve been playing rpgs for my whole life… do better.

    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.

    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

    Game has the potential to be great but is unfortunately ruined by out of touch developers that clearly do not play their own game or care for any constructive criticism given by the community.

    base game could have been incredible, but it's blizzard and they destroy all fun out of their games.

    Devs need to go play their game and figure out how to make it actually enjoyable.

    Worst itemization designs that are simply stuck in the game for good because their design philosophy was flawed.

This was probably a way to get more people to pay for the battle pass skips since it will take wayyyy too long to level up. This company doesn't care about their fans it's all about how much money they can squeeze from the people who enjoy their games. The devs are so out of touch with their fan base are quicker to apply patches that stop fun than patching up glitches and bug that are game breaking. This game is DOA even before the finish of the first season and I hope that it will be better when I decide to reinstall it after they get their crap together probably 10 to 11 seasons from now… Expand

Less XP, helltides give less cinders (it has been reported as a bug and will be fixed next hotfix, but when uber uniques were dropping from helltides chest it was fixed 1 hour later), nerfed damage that was multiplicative i.e. vul damage, main stat damage, destroyed sorc from the eternal realm while not touching poison rogue or shred druid.

    The complaints can go on and on. This was not the right direction for the game. The whole purpose of this patch was to slow down the game. Slow it down for players don't realize there is no end-game content. What is the goal of Diablo 4? Nightmare Dungeon 100? Uber Lilith? Once you complete either one, then what? PvP? PvP is a total mess. Rogues running around rampant.

    Any power the game gave you before Patch 1.1 .0a. was taken away to make you do less damage to creeps, have higher cooldowns, have less damage from creeps, and take longer to level up. If this nerf was done because of the new season then this is a terrible implementation of the patch for anyone who plays the eternal realm. All their time and dedication to the game is gone.    … Expand

    Patch 1.1.0a made game agonizing to play. Fun at first, but after every update the game just gets less and less fun. Blizzard really just takes the fun out of their games by changing in game mechanics. and it makes me think that's their business model. Happened with COD now happening with Diablo 4. They want to make us not enjoy ourselves so that we will buy the next game that seems like fun.

    I feel totally scammed. They are trying to make players invest in a Battle pass to play a season just one month after launch. So I bought a game for $90 and you want me to pay more money to play something that wasn't delivered in the first place? I'm tired of people defending this.

    It is disrespectful to player time and effort to blatantly take away all their efforts in one broad stroke then turn around and ask us for more. More time, more shifting of our builds, more grinding at a slower pace for less reward while you preach to us about how malignant hearts will save us all.

    I'm over it as a long term player since D1, perhaps I'm too old to go for blatant BS anymore but I did NOT GET what I paid for and I won't pay another dime to fix something that the developers clearly will continue to break. Blizzard is truly dead. I hope Microsoft buries it after the takeover. The old school nostalgia is not enough to super glue and duct tape together this absolute **** show of a company.

    While it started as a decent game needing some bug fixes the devs truly ruined the game. I will not open it up again until things are drastically improved. Talk about a group of dumb people working on something they literally killed a game one month into it.

Blizzard's most recent patch took all of that into account and they chose to make everything weaker and slower. I played Destiny 2, I am familiar with being letdown constantly and watching a game you enjoy become a live service toxic money grab. I didn't think I would witness that same thing so quickly with Diablo 4. I get it, the overwhelming majority of game companies want money far more then they want a happy player base. I guess I had hoped that Blizzard realized that was nonviable long term. Yet here we are. Maybe come revisit this game in a year or so. I heard Bladur's Gate 3 should be good, it literally couldn't be more of a disappointment.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This patch made it clear what they were thinking about the direction of the game.
    It was a patch that made the game last longer by giving users more tasks rather than more fun.
    Through plausible trailers and numerous advertisements, they have achieved sales volume and are now making efforts to reduce the number of users to reduce operating costs.
    This situation will continue to repeat unless the management team changes and the direction changes.

    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.
