    Always nerf/adjust on skill/equipment/ability/evan unique items.
    I can't believe this is a Diablo IP. Everything all unstable.

    令人失望的更新改動,賽季毀了原本的體驗,也毀了暗黑破懷神整個系列的觀感。

    This is the worst game ever made. All they did is copy lost arch and paste diablo 4 characters into the environment .... And gave the player base absolutely NOTHING they wanted. The current version of blizzard has no idea how to produce blizzard games .. They have a brand to sell. This is a sad sad day for gaming :(.

    The game designer is very unpleasant.
    When you invest a lot of time cultivating a character,
    they turn your efforts into garbage with a single update.

    I just created my account for telling gamers to be cautious before buying this game
    In its current state D4 is very far of diablo like game
    no fun (itemization and re-playability) , not a solo game (boss in dungeon are way to hard in level III to play solo)

    But it provides indeed beautiful landscapes

    You can just keep nerfing everything, in order to make every players' build become a joke.
    Keep going, keep trampling our trust to BZ.

    TL;DR:
    It's not a diablo game. I mean, there isn't even a diablo in the game!!
    It's an exchangeable generic H&S game that could've been done by any indie studio. ok, gfx and audio are great, but the game itself is a horrible misconception. Worst itemization seen in over 10 years (when D3 came out the did the same mistakes, creating wands with +str and dex... just as an example). ---

    ---

    I played Diablo from the first version back in the 90's. The best Diablo was D2 in patch 1.09d
    When they released 1.10 for D2 it became cruel and hard, but still beatable.
    D3 was a horror trip while the auction house existed and the itemization was so awful (dropping wands with str and dex).
    D3 became better, although it was reduced to grind portals forever, barely ever leaving a town. but that was still better than what they did to the diablo game with Diablo IV.

    First, they REPEATED THE SAME MISTAKES (wands with str+dex) and created an absolutely demotivating itemization. when i return to town after a dungeon i am not eager to find out what cool drops there were, no, i am SCARED to visit the merchant because i now have again to spend 5+ minutes on an inventory full of trash, reading through waaaaay to long tooltips and dozens of different stats and bonusses to find out, whether an item MIGHT oder MIGHT NOT be stronger than what i wear.
    Legendaries are a joke. They are just rares with a random aspect slammed on them.

    uniques are a joke too as we can't even reroll ANYTHING. why did they not make it, that we can try to get a better roll on one single stat? I mean, not CHANGING what stat it is - uniques shall be blueprints, thats ok, but just try to reroll the value of a single stat? there are dropping so few uniques... it's horrible.

    And then... patch 1.1 came just before the season. omg.... my sorceress is dead, unplayable.
    Hell tides make no fun.
    Dungeons are just awkward and lightyears away from being fun.
    Itemization is not even worth the energy, that the white pixels of this text consumes.
    It's a 100% failure. It can clearly be seen, that key players left the company.

    I have played Diablo since D2 (only skipping D Immortal). This patch (1.1) has to be one of the worst patches Blizzard has ever released for this game. Im perfectly fine with Seasons and starting over each time.

    The absolute nerf bat across the board (even to the worst class in the game - Sorc) will just make this game "unfun". The paltry "buffs" are miniscule. Instead of dealing with

    I was looking forward to Season 1, and now instead I'm looking forward to playing D3 Season 29

    so much gold for change your build
    bad system for town (how many town in this game ? 20 / 30 ? i know 1 town name that's its because we dont car about 30 town ...)
    boring endgame
    you are cruching the endgame ... ok blizzard kill your build, defense, damage, not start again from 0 .. nice
    1 month after release go start ALLLL OVER with season ! yeah do again all the side quest that make me out of my mind i dont want do this gain -_-
    we have poney but so badly done xD stuck every where, stop running, feel so bad
    Ban my account on blizzard forum 'cause i tel you how bad you are
    Every streamer tell to blizzard all the bad thing. And ? Blizzard dont care xD
    Release se season: stuck on queue for 1.30 hours, open the quest dungeon and boom, stuck on loading. Back to the 1 hours queue xD
    20 years of gaming experience for Blizzard by the way xD and they still do the same s*****
    character are the same from D2/D3
    monster are the same frome D2/D3
    paragon are the same from POE (but badly copy)
    ALL the game is giant copy/paste from other Diablo and POE but its bad
    the copy all the bad thing and forget to past the good thing xD
    POE stash is so good / D4 is so bad
    Armory in D3 is so good / in D4 uuuuh nop, no armory
    reset build in D3 if free and nice / in D4 you need 10 / 20 / 30 /40 M gold for endgam
    Every corrupted review with a 5+/10 score is a scam
    every people who lost 70€/$ cant give this score
    i think 3/10 is the MAX score you deserve

    edit: 1/10 to 0/10 after patch and patch and patch game freeze and lag more and more and i see blizzard say :" hey D4 launch is a massive succes balbalbal" yeah blizzard you make billion with this game because of massive commercial ADS and youtuber work not because your game is good.

    Bought game, played it, refunded it after s1, continue playing diablo 2 or 3 which is 20x better than d4 right now. AVOID DIABLO 4 AT ALL COSTS

    Tbh blizzard has went downhill for years for its games I fear for the long awaited starcraft 3 , likely be as bad as this trash. They nerfed the player, so we nerf the game score, eye for an eye blizzard... has been for years with this

    I have farmed my Barbarian for 150+ hours until 15/7 to 100lv, and the new update validates the death of my passion. All the change is only nerfing, don't even have a buffing for main flow build. And the Blizzard NEVER really "played" this game in my opinion. Blizzard only want to see player suffering, **** YOU!

    Im really sad that the game is as it is. I play diablo since diablo 1 came out. Played everything they offered. Since D3 was so bad i fell in Love with Path of exile and play it since the start till now. D4 is just so dissapointing for a player like me. Its awfully repeditive. Itemization is a bad joke.

Instea it sank the whole ship to the ground and the developers dont even seem to care about it. They promised a huge new league instead the league is just killing one special rare mob every now and then. Thats literally a bad joke. This is a brutally rich compary that is doing this. A rich and corrupt, selfish, greedy Blizzard. Not the Blizzard that we used to love. I think its over for diablo and Blizzard as it is. They still have people that will follow them and use their products. But im done. 70 Dollars down the drain i guess. Gl to you ppl Expand

This is even more obvious with the new seasonal patch. They ruin the game in such ways players are more likely to spend money, even though the game experience is deteriorating rapidly and players are abandoning the game. We have seen this behaviour many times before in blizzard games, namely Overwatch and HOTS. God awful. Unacceptable. Expand

    Let's just say that if they offered refunds after season 1 patch notes they would lose a lot of money. I bought this despite being on the fence to play with my friends but this will be my last blizzard game I ever buy. Blizzard has had a lot of nostalgia good faith but that's be burned away now.

The update gets stuck and totally slows down my internet connection, and after a few more minutes, nothing is working. I had to reset my router twice to get my internet working again after trying to update the game two times. I tried a third time to update the game and the same thing happened. This third time I did not reset my router. Instead I just waited, and after about 20 minutes my internet connection recovered. My friends have the same issue. How do you manage this Blizzard? I thought Blizzard was finally going in the right direction with the D4 release (except for the WoW elements in the game which I don't like). Big disappointment. Fix this ASAP, or I will never buy a ActiBlizz game again. Expand

    No stash space, terrible character customization, boring endgame, boring loot, boring uniques.
    The season 1 content is literally 1 hour of play time but they added boring grinding in between to make it feel longer. Lilith rule 34 is good tho.

    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.
