    Such a waste of the Diablo name to be attached to this unfinished spaghetti mess. Live-service gaming has ruined game models like Diablo when under the direction of this Dev team. Shame on them, and I hope they are let go from their positions for such poor quality of work. SHAME ON BLIZZARD!!!

    Whoever is making these decisions over at Blizzard needs to be put in some sort of performance review and re-trained or sacked off

    I am just a casual D4 player. I play after work since the launch. I had a lot fun until the last patch. After the patch, my character suddenly died many times and I was wondering what's going on. I did change a new armor last night, was that the issue? I changed back to older armor and still died very quick. Then I checked and found out Blizz nerfed everything.

I only have limit time to play after work, what you guys want me to do now? I am not even level 80 yet, i just want to enjoy 1-2 hours after work. Blizz developers, you can't do that, i am not having fun anymore and I wasted last month and half for nothing. I wish I can ask for refund. Expand

    People are saying there is no End-Game.... There is end game and this occurs around level 50, when you have nothing else to do in it but uninstall.

    All hotfix obviously are time waste tactics.
    Blizzard said the future will be beauty, but the present is rubbish.

    This revision is very disappointing, there are still a lot of bugs, the monsters are too strong, it is not easy to play in a team, is it a single player game?

    My words don't matter, all you need to know is D4 is bad and you should save money and spend it on something else.

    Patch 1.1 Campfire Chat time. I wish Devs all the best and to be free human beings again.
    My vote is from love to the game. I do not want refund, I want to have fun again with 1.1 reverted !
    D4 was a true tribute to D1 for me and my friends up to release of patch 1.1.

    I am done with Blizzards cash grabs. I left OW and now I'm leaving diablo 4.

    Money grubbing nonsense.

    instead of fixing the game in patch 1.1.0 they nerf everything. The game is no longer fun. DO NOT PLAY!

    Once again, because Battle.net servers are down, no one can even login to play this game. There needs to be an OFFLINE option so that I can play my game without relying on Battle.net's incredibly unreliable servers. I should not be locked out of a video game due to requiring it to be online. Especially when Battle.net can't keep their own servers online and in good working order.

    Thank you for turning one of my most hyped for games of the year into an utterly sad and frustrating lesson!

    Hardly anything positive to say about the game. Brought it same as I did with Diablo 3 and regretted it all the same. At least for Diablo 3 it took me longer for the regret.
    Diablo 4 is a slow start slog fest very unfun until about lvl 40-50.
    From those levels up to about 70 the game is decent at best. After 70 is it another slow grind slog fest. At lvl 92 killed Lilith on Nightmare.

    At lvl 92 killed Lilith on Nightmare. That is basically the endgame and nothing to do after(First season did not solve this). If you are going to copy POE at least do it right, not this mess of a season whatever it is.
    With the new seasons patch(They are trying to copy POE's success but failed horribly)
    Season patch with not only the nerfs(regardless if they revert them is just not fun).
    This game should had never been released it feels like a late alpha game or early beta game.
    I'm going to let them polish it up for 4-6 months and maybe give it a look again.
    As of right now it is a 100% hard avoid.

    I cannot accept the company using all of the method to wasting my time in game. I don't the 5 second to help me escape from the dungeon. And please add all the portal on all dungeon. I don't want to waste time on walking.

    This is a horrid game designed to look like a diablo one, but its complete crap. Bad gameplay, limiting builds, horrible end game, and OC a cash shop. The devs have obviously never played an arpg and it shows. Long gone are the glory days of Blizzard North and this cheap arse activision crap is nothing worth buying.

    So they ruin every build and expect players to restart a character every 3 months. But I can’t use multiple characters cause they trashed them. Am I recommending a game I’d take a refund on right now. No. They are not willing to move fast enough. So until then I’ll just trash the game. Good luck recovering

    I'll save the paragraph, thanks for ruining one of my all-time favorite series. Maybe check out the game in a year + after blizzard is done with Dibeta 3.5. Have fun being free guinea pigs :D

    Basic game functions that you would expect don't even work

    No content, stale gameplay, everything nerfed, bad management ruined such promising game.

    Boring game without any end-game content that has substance. Do yourselves a favour and play PoE instead.

    After a 10 year wait from D3 this is what Blizzard produces? We are in a supposed next-gen age of gaming. We have AI now and Blizzard can't even make tabs for quick swapping character builds? We can't lock our rare loot and quick disassemble or use loot filters? Most arpgs have these features today. Where are the next gen graphics, abilities and camera angles in combat?

We have AI now and Blizzard can't even make tabs for quick swapping character builds? We can't lock our rare loot and quick disassemble or use loot filters? Most arpgs have these features today. Where are the next gen graphics, abilities and camera angles in combat? This game follows the same tired old formula of past arpgs. Green poison damage...lol. A necromancer class that isn't even viable summoning minions? Blizzard could have paved the way to next-gen, but fell short of even providing basic functionalities like a matchmaking system for a multiplayer game.... lol. They didn't even fix balance issues based on Beta data or a test realm. They are patching imbalances using paid player's time. They release a massive power nerf to get players to buy a battlepass and regain the powers they took away. Oh and don't forget the treasure goblins don't even have a treasure realm to enter anymore haha. We loved that, but now they just drop more useless loot. The player in the dungeons or in the open world are slow and suffer from widespread lag or rubber banding (stuttering). The mounts also get stuck on every little thing. The overpriced cosmetic items in the paid shop are awfully designed and silly looking. Even the main story was boring and felt rushed to a sudden end. The hardest boss in the game takes a ton of preparation and time to defeat and gives garbage loot as a reward. Nightmare dungeons (like greater rifts perhaps) are useless past tier 50, reward for effort are gone after that point. In summary, I stuck it out with this game because I loved diablo 3, for a few weeks past when my friends already quit playing. Game has great potential but might take a few years of implementing feedback to realize it. Expand

    Devs don't care about what's fun for you or I. They admit they only care about making it take as long as possible for anyone to beat the game to milk you for mtx purchases. Stay away.

    They dont fuking know what they are doing.

    Not everyone is playing 10~12 hours a day.

    Nerfing everything to take fun away.

    After all these negative reviews, the developers show up on youtube and make future plans and excuses.

    It’s almost like Diablo 4 developers are consciously fighting against everything that made classic Diablo fun. [Issue#262, p.80]

    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.

    The best Blizzard launch in a long time and a worthy game to be called Diablo.
