    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 ****

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    I should have known after I quit WOW years ago that this will be the fate of yet my favorite title from Blizzard. I had hope... Now I have nothing left but distain.

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.
    Diablo 4 is the last Blizzard game I bought with money in my life.

    With patch 1.1, all classes were nerfed... even the already weakest class was hit this time, and not just lightly! The Sorceress was nerfed to unplayability. Increasing the cooldowns and minimizing the armor, even though the developers are aware that the resistance system on which the class is built is currently broken, is the height of absurdity. I can only imagine what kind of conversation about the Sorceress took place at Blizzard:
    Head of Development: Hey? Is that **** sorceress finally dead?
    Head of Balancing: Well, I think so? We buried her.
    Head of Development: But she still has quite a lot of followers! Take care of it!
    Head of Balancing: Okay, we'll dig her up again, and burn everything thats left! Just to be sure!

    Either the developers are completely oblivious to their own game mechanics or it's a deliberate action to slow down players and generate longer playtime per player to improve the statistics (KPI). Instead of finally creating decent endgame content, they simply stretch the path to the endgame indefinitely, so the lack of content isn't noticed as quickly.

    Diablo 4에 대한 솔직한 리뷰를 해보자면 게임 초반에는 괜찮아 보이지만 점차 지루해집니다. 디아블로2의 경우에는 레벨링과 파밍 즉 성장해가며 템맞추고 타직업 템도 나와서 팔거나 부캐 키울때 써먹기도 하는 등 지속적인 재미가 있었는데 디아블로4는 아무리 레벨업을해도 몬스터도 아이템도 똑같은 레벨로 맞춰지는데 무슨 생각으로 이런 허접한 레벨스케일링을 했는지 이해할 수가 없다. 그리고 대부분 아이템이 거래도 안되서 좋은 아이템이 나와도 설레임이 없다. 이 넗은 맵에 등장몬스터는 항상 똑같음. 망령, 염소인간이 전 맵에 걸쳐 있음. 최종 게임에서 아무 것도 할 게 없음. 시리즈 중 최악의 디아블로Diablo 4에 대한 솔직한 리뷰를 해보자면 게임 초반에는 괜찮아 보이지만 점차 지루해집니다. 디아블로2의 경우에는 레벨링과 파밍 즉 성장해가며 템맞추고 타직업 템도 나와서 팔거나 부캐 키울때 써먹기도 하는 등 지속적인 재미가 있었는데 디아블로4는 아무리 레벨업을해도 몬스터도 아이템도 똑같은 레벨로 맞춰지는데 무슨 생각으로 이런 허접한 레벨스케일링을 했는지 이해할 수가 없다. 그리고 대부분 아이템이 거래도 안되서 좋은 아이템이 나와도 설레임이 없다. 이 넗은 맵에 등장몬스터는 항상 똑같음. 망령, 염소인간이 전 맵에 걸쳐 있음. 최종 게임에서 아무 것도 할 게 없음. 시리즈 중 최악의 디아블로

    Devs clueless destroying the game without listening to the community. Nerfs instead of buffing is the No 1 rule. Unique droprates of certain items are way to low so you cant play the build you want to play, the one you playing because of this fact is nerfed to death

    The campaign: start was great, middle was very forgettable, last part was great.

    The gameplay: pretty boring

    The skills feel super limited and quite boring, some of the shrines provide fun skills for a very short amount of time, but the skills themselves are really quite boring. Cooldowns really suck. They're too long, and there isn't a time you'll sacrifice cooldown reduction on gear for literally any other stat.

    The gameplay is slow, each enemy takes several hits, and AOE skills are slow to reload and are really underpowered.

    How does it compare to other games?
    POE although complicated is fast, and makes you feel like a god.
    Last Epoch even in pre-release/open beta has a better feeling combat system, faster gameplay, more rewarding progression, and snappier servers.

    Should you buy it?
    Wait a year or two would be my opinion.

    There's been constant lag, disconnects & overall just complete garbage of deaths/incompolete dungeons/ items not coming to your inventory.

Once you've completed the main quest line is where the game effectively starts. This is supposed to be the end game infinite loop where you level your character to epic proportions of God like power. And this is where the game utterly fails in every regard. The end game loop of nightmare dungeons, hell tides, gathering legions and world bosses is at best, tedious. The dungeons are samey and get boring very quickly, the hell tides are just flat out dull and annoying trying to find the one chest which 'might' drop some half decent loot. Gathering legions is zero challenge and lasts a minute or so as several high level players blitz everything as it spawns. The world boss is no longer any kind of challenge either, there will always be several level 100 guys meaning it will die in no time at all, plus, again, there's a real lack of variation. In it's current state this game is worth 20 bucks, or if like me you got it free with a GPU then it's worth doing the story and that's it. Expand

    I would HIGHLY recommend picking up this game, it is wonderfully paced, with a great atmosphere and fantastic storytelling. It feels like a true blizzard game and it has to be commended as such.
    I hope this trend continues in the future, and I am looking very much forward to the expansions when they are ready.

    Good game that is completely ruined by monetization and a decade old seasonal model that doesn’t align with live service games and paid battle passes. I’m not sure what is worse: Diablo 3’s auction house, Diablo Immortal, or Diablo 4’s season and battle pass model.

    While the main campaign is decent and midly enganging. Unfortunuately the abismal endgame ruins the experience: the acvtivities are boring and the reward sucks. To cover for this lack of enganging content, just before the start of season 1 Blizzard had the wonderful idea of gutting the damage of all the classes AND nerfing the xp gains to artificially increase playtime.

Before season 1, I was also grinding for a ring, after 50 levels not even 1 drop. why do gems take in as much space as a 2H sword? What a mess. What a waste of money.

It's lazy, negates several play styles, ruins player power trips, and just sucks.

    My personal conclusion is a maximum of 6/10, if not 5/10.

    Pluses: - Graphics of course, atmo - Sound, voice output. Story does not pick up until A4

    That's where you actually stop again unfortunately, Blizzard hasn't invented anything innovative here, the shell is shiny and pretty , but inside you find again the repeating bad quality blizzard has brought up through the last years.

    Negatives:

    MMO aspect? Almost pointless whether I see another player or not, no global chat. Zero social interaction

    Spot white empty landscapes when you want to go from point a to point b

    Bosses, in principle, all the same, nobrain fights, Space Dodge here, Attack Attack, Dodge, run in circles

    No build variety, you start with a skill at level 5 and will continue to use it at level 60 if switched at all

    itemization same snot as with D3, +2 here, +1 str there, whether the items have stats or not is completely irrelevant , in the end you just look for the right aspects/leg effects and that's it unfortunately

    Feeling of progression, I feel as strong at level 60 as I did at level 20. No power spikes, no aha moment

    every build stackels vulnerability + main stat + critical hit + luck, always! no matter what class, you want more dmg? These are your stats. Grim Dawn, PoE, even Torch Light or Titan Quest change your skills over the course of the game, more projectile speed, more projectiles, other effects, cast on crit, cast on cast, cast on hit, look different graphics , etc. Depending on the class, you can use the same skills in other games, but they then have completely different effects. Paragon Board is also nothing more than Paragons in d3. You're just looking to get more of the same(major stat, crit, etc.)

    Side quests are your standard MMO food, run there, collect 5 of this, bring back.

    Endgame Loop is virtually without diversity, whether I grind Dungeons, Helltides, Tree of Whispers, the basic problem with the "hollow" basic concept of the game remains

    If you don't necessarily need to jump on the bandwagon, or absolutely have to have the latest game or just "be part of the d4 release movement" you should buy the game for 20$ in a year

    Unfortunately, I let myself be ragged on by the hype and marketing again

Its an obvious attempt to prolong the games life and prevent people from making meaningful progress. My armchair theory is theyre doing this so they can SELL US EXPERIENCE BONUSES during the season.

    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.
