    This patch is an awful attempt to balance the game by making everything less fun and take longer. And still no quality of life upgrades that all exist in the previous game, D3. Were no lessons learned?

    With a rough start, the game felt tedious, to easy, and to grindy even for an ARPG, and most imporantly felt unfinished.

But I got my character up to 100 and maxed out my glyphs. This was becuse I had hope, they sounded promising with a large patch coming for season 1.

    For a AAA game I would have rated it about a 5, but with the latest patch, the season 1 patch, fixed nothing mentioned above, nerfed the weakest class and made the game even more tedious I can not give it more than a two. And that is mostly because of epic cutscenes..    … Expand

    Like with all Blizzard titles, here are devs who ignore all the feedback. They would rather see the game fail (which it will if S1 first impressions are terrible), than drop the arrogance and pride and make the experience fun and memorable. It's INSANE how they ruin all their games with these selfish and short-sighted dev teams.

    The social features are difficult if not impossible to use, making the "MMO" portion of the game a guise for always online features. Personally I haven't had a single social interaction from the game alone.

    And it's an ARPG where the developers are slowing down an already slow game, by keeping mob density low, nerfing multiplicative damage, nerfing item drop rates, nerfing currency drop rates and nerfing overall XP.

    So it's a dead world, singleplayer, slog of an RPG, right now.

    All this is made worse with a terrible user interface, memory leak issues, and a development team that ran out of content at like level 70. There is nothing to do from 70 to 100.

    In addition, Season 1 was supposed to introduce something innovative and they just reused a mechanic from Diablo 3. The developers are trying to artificially slow leveling so people don't ever reach 70+.

    It's a disgrace.    … Expand

If you want to have an ALT character, forget about it, since all the stash space is almost not enough for a single character, and if you want to find a specific item in your stash good luck, since there is no filter to help you find it, you will have to look one by one to find what you are looking for. And if you want to respec your character there is 2 problems: You need to unlearn one by one all the hundreds of paragon points and have millions of gold to do it. You cant save multiple builds like in Diablo 3 or WOW. On top of that the game is EXTREMELLY CLAUSTOPHOBIC! The zoom is at least two times closer than previous games, you barelly can appreciate the landscape since all you can see is 5 yards away from your character... Want to have a ranged character? Good luck having to always play in melee range since you cant see enemies until they started attacking you...… Expand

    -Slow and boring/repetitive leveling experience.
    -Bad gearing and class-building experience.
    -All the systems in place are designed to artificially extend the grind because there just isn't any real substance to the game.

    The first month of this game was alright but there were clearly some things missing. The gameplay in the second half gets really repetitive but not in the "Diablo 3 hectic fun" type of way. The first season is coming so there is promise for some excitement. Sadly in the first month's it's apparent that the game reached out to too many directions and missed on most of them. One of the worst is that Diablo was always a group game but most builds aren't fun to play as a team.

    Then the new patch hits.

    They nerfed every build. They didn't fix much of anything. Necromancers don't have a viable pet build. This is a core element of the idea of a necromancer and the only viable builds for them don't feel like a necromancer. Sorcerers don't feel like a class the developers have played much and are not viable in much of anything. One of the main builds that did much they announced had a bug that they fixed which made it - worse. They nerfed Vulnerability (which needed nerfing) but did so in such a way that it hamstrung rogues. I could go on and on, but that's not the worst of the changes. Defenses - nerfed.

    They made every attempt to slow the game down. It was already a boring grind past lv 50 (out of 100 max) but they made every attempt to keep people in the game longer. Longer in something that was already boring. It took my patience to really get to lv 100 and that's saying a lot. I usually take 2-3 builds minimum to the max each season in Diablo 3. Dungeon exp - nerfed right after they buffed it. Not "hey let's nerf it back down to original levels before the buff". No, they took it well below their original level. Helltide shards - nerfed but they say it was a bug. Sure. Helltide chests - nerfed and now it takes a lot longer to get chests that have really bad loot to begin with. Playing with friends? Can't they put caps on the world tier levels. Want to help your friends level so they can catch up to you? Nerfed.

    I bought the collectors edition so I get a free season pass. I wont' be redeeming it this year. Too many other good things to play. Much like Diablo 3's launch Blizzard just doesn't understand their audience anymore. I'll wait a few seasons to see if they understand their game and maybe come back.    … Expand

I expected more from a game that has 3 previous versions to draw from and decades of data on what players want out of a the Diablo series.. If you enjoyed previous Diablo games, then you are better to wait this out and see if development gets a clue on what made this series great in the first place. Awesome cinematics though.

    One of the least memorable entries into the Diablo series. Boring, shell of a game with issues that you would think should have been ironed out through development, or the decades of lessons learned through other Diablo games.

    Story starts off great, but quickly turns into a forgettable, unfulfilling snoozer that goes right into setup for what I assume to be another paid expansion.    One of the least memorable entries into the Diablo series. Boring, shell of a game with issues that you would think should have been ironed out through development, or the decades of lessons learned through other Diablo games.

    Story starts off great, but quickly turns into a forgettable, unfulfilling snoozer that goes right into setup for what I assume to be another paid expansion. Unfortunately, really the only unique bosses that you come across are found in the campaign, and you may not re-do these bosses unless you re-progress through the campaign on another character. Pretty disappointing considering there are actually only a few variants for "boss," monsters across every single dungeon and many of these are just upgraded "elite," variants of already existing mobs. Couple this with the fact that the lauded 100+ dungeons, or whatever the BS number, are all the same few tilesets with the entrance position moved, and you have some *exhilarating* uninspired gameplay.

    Build variety was already awful, but if you weren't already bored of builder/spender skills, the trajectory of updates ensures that most of the community will be pigeonholed into the same builds for at least a few months. If that wasn't bad enough, as you level up re-speccing gets exponentially more expensive, and extraordinarily tedious, since you have to individually refund each paragon node or skill point.

    Forced online environment with the worst social environment I may have ever seen in a game. Be prepared for rubber banding between every zone. The frequent + abrupt disconnects plaguing the game since launch have hardly improved, and continually cause players to walk away from the game, especially people that enjoy HC modes and lose characters out of their control. Trading has near zero value in this iteration of Diablo, thanks to the awful itemization system that locks item drops to your character level. Makes gearing alts, or playing/trading with friends unnecessarily tedious.

    Awful, unbalanced PvP, with no intent of balance, yet you are forced into these zones for collectables to finish up your characters stats, and paragon nodes/skill points.

    Core features(resistances,) have been broken since launch causing some classes to notably struggle and ensuring even less diversity in builds until AT LEAST season two,(notably, ~6months after release to fix a core/game-breaking feature.) Not only that, but the first seasonal update and they are adding resistances to the loot tables for items that previously had none, as well as new, dead, seasonal content that play around resistances. They are just out of touch, and careless.

    With all of that, Blizzard has shown with the launch and first few updates that they do not respect players/consumers time. The intention is to slow players down, string them through seasons and pump the MTX shop. My fault for purchasing another Blizzard game... especially one that is another unfortunate entry into the graveyard of games as a service.    … Expand

Do not need to mention how poor the game was made at the launch. The season 1 patch is horrible.

    Clearly the devs working on D4 are incredibly clueless , all they do is playing god mode nerfing and balancing classes while the game is so lacking its beyond me.
    Camera distance is made to enjoy your character hair follicles making u have 0 awareness and getting one shot by mobs that are outside your screen and sometimes even behind a wall!
    Lacking searches in stash where u need to manually read all items and aspects in order to find the 1 thing u looking for. Have no loot filters in this game either! I cant even talk to ppl and there isnt even a proper chat system or ANY grouping feature implemented. All they do since day 1 is to tweak classes while the lack of simple and basic features makes the game feel like 1991! The only ppl that do good work on D4 are the ppl in graphics design team.. then comes the clueless like Rod and his monkeys and destroys everything beatiful the art team created with their absolutely horrible systems like renown , decisions to slow the game leveling and the pace of killing monsters and now even the survivability of players... while also have done 0 work on implementing ANY feature that the game should never been released without!

    wonky cash grab. unoptimized classes. Dev's have probably never played the game or ever tried all the classes. Blizzard tends to check popular builds online and then just insta nerf them into the ground. The hate for sorcerers seems like the devs have childhood trauma & PTSD caused by their uncles dressing in a Gandalf costume and buggering them silly in a windowless van with no candy afterwards.

    Pretty sure these devs actually hate their player base. Everything the players do for efficiency or fun gets nerfed. Ability to even survive gets nerfed. And the idea behind “chaser uniques” is absolutely idiotic. They’re something like a 1 in 800,000 chance to obtain. So basically you won’t find one. Ever. Feels bad… but I guess that’s their game philosophy. No fun for you.

    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.
