    Developers knocked it out of the park pre-season (until the 7/18 patch/update/"nerfening" so they get a 1 for the pre-update times and the campaign, which was excellent by the way.... Then they went and destroyed their game with the last update on 7/18/23

    The developers are so far removed from their own game they have no idea what is going on.

    They can't fix certain bugs but then and ruin other actual mechanics meant for the game because they can't figure out their own mistakes.

    The developers sealed the fate of D4. What was meant to be an all-time great game will go down in flames if nothing is changed.

    Developers didn't like the power levels attained by players so they did a class-wide nerf instead of making us higher tiered and more powerful content.
    The players are suffering now for the lack of creativity of the developers and their laziness to put out more content.

    The devs should be happy and proud their playerbase well-exceeded their expectations, but instead they are penalizing us to slow our progress because they don't want to have to come up with more/challenging content. Rather than rise to the challenge and make more content than they anticipated, they just nerfed everyone to set us back to what their predicted schedule was. It was a garbage move and they will ultimately pay for it. I as well as other friends are already losing interest and deciding which game to jump to next.

    This game was fun before the patch. Imagine taking weeks to level up a character only to have it nerfed for about 60 percent of its power. Save your money.

    Oh if I buy the battle pass I can level at the same speed I was a week ago before the patch. Well then suck me dry Blizzard because I am ready to get good.

    Final Thoughts
    1. Rant aside, Its a great main story line and and the cinematics are well done
    2. Anything beyond the Main story line you are just grinding to get a small power increase to then grind at a higher level with no real incentive.
    3. Its fun while it lasts and that doesn't last long enough for the cost of the game.
    4. Worst replay value and "End Game" I have seen. I beat the game in 2 weeks, hit level 79, got bored quick and I uninstalled it 2 weeks ago and haven't looked back since.

    Main campaign was ok (ish). Average story with great visuals and poor mechanics. End game was a bit of a grind, lots of repetitive mob/dungeons for little (or often no) meaningful reward. In an attempt to kill the still-in-its-infancy main campaign, and drive players into paid for seasons, the latest patch effectively makes the grind even harder, slower, and less rewarding. NO FUN TO BE HAD HERE.

    Instead of fixing the ridiculous amount of bugs in game and adding QoL stuff which they left out for no reason, they just make massive nerfs to slow down progress because there's no endgame. This game is still in beta.

Cut xp gains again across the board. Awesome. Enemy scaling is horrible. Bring back real power leveling, at least after you beat the game. The game is all later levels, so dont make me take 30 hrs to even get near where a build matters. Expand

I understand needing survivability a little bit to make it more challenging but what’s the purpose when you also nerf the XP we get for completing content. Hell tides were nerfed a lot as well, which was a great way to get gear and XP. This game has become a joke prior to season 1. I highly doubt players will stick around past this season. This game has so much potential but the devs are failing. How do you have a risk vs reward concept for the nerfs but then you nerf the reward? Smh I played Diablo 3 heavy and I would’ve thought they would’ve consulted with the D3 developers for input on what works and what doesn’t, but it doesn’t look like they did, which is a shame. Expand

However, the quality of hack and slash games especially in an ARPG like Diablo 4 itself does not lie in the amount of mobs appearing and being killed, rather its how you kill them and the enjoyment you get from exploring, completing quests or dungeons, and enjoying the leveling while killing these mobs. Unfortunately, Diablo 4 fails at all of this. Leveling is quite a drag for the casual player and hardcore gamers have to put in some crazy hours to min-max for a boss that is seemingly unbeatable by the vast amount of the player base (Uber Lilith). Although there are many dungeons and wonderful graphics and cut-scenes the game will leave you wondering "What's the point?". With no endgame content, horrible itemization, no in-game LFG, no re-rolling of skills without insane currency spending, bugs, unbalanced classes, lack of true customization of the character (Skills, abilities, cosmetics), a full game price, and of course, with the 1.1 patch this game is truly something to just never spend your money on.

Took the plunge and bought the game for my PS5. Have been really enjoying the story, gameplay and even the graphics and art are more inline with newer games for this generation. This game pulled me away from Destiny 2, which I have been playing for years. Dozens of members of my Destiny guild, and family members and other friends have shifted to Diablo to play. We were really looking forward to playing the new season, despite having to start over with a new character. Worked hard to open map, complete renown(statues) and level at least to 70 on 1 character to get the feel of the game. The latest 1.1 pre-season patch has literally gutted the game for me and all the people I play with. Some have outright stopped playing and are just done. Others have moved to other games, saying they will just skip season 1 hoping Blizzard gets their brain back and fixes all of the bad decisions they made with this patch. No amount of Season 1 content will make up for nerfing characters damage by 50% or more, making defense so much weaker in all areas (armor), damage reduction, etc, and then straight up nerfing xp. We played the game to have fun, feel powerful and wanted less grind. Keep in mind you only feel strong, when you figure out which skills to pick, which armor specs you need to use/wear and you have the Aspects that pair with all of that. Typically need to be level >60 for that. Instead, Blizzard looked at the hardcore streamer types and then nerfed everyone into the grave. Overall a great game, but only play if you like this genre AND want to experience the story line (max level 50). Ignore anything above that as it is simply no longer worth it. I might come back next season, but already moving to other games and going back to Destiny for their next season. So long Diablo, as Blizzard has sucked the fun out of the game. I would have given this an 8 or 9, but now its not worth more than a 4. Blizzard cut the fun out of the game and made it so only the first 50 levels you gain are worth anything, so I cut my rating in half to indicate that. Expand

    The game is very repetitive but so is the "ARPG" genre. The difference here is that the loots are very unexciting and makes you wonder why are you are playing it for. Also if the devs just didn't listen to the community for feedback that would be one thing but here not only do they not listen but on top of it they actively go out of their way to make the game worst in every single aspect.

The Diablo team is incompetent. The itemization is horribly designed and the loot hunt it non existent.
    There are no role playing since the character identity is depended on items.
    The game was fun when the density was high but they kept nerfing it.
    All the lasers, the ice wall, the fire bombs, poison pool, ice orbs, fear, etc... on the ground is horrible design... half the time, your character is CC'd and you die.

The only thing this company cares about is how to keep you logged in the game as much as possible while providing no incentive for it. They just need to you to be there so they can boast about active players
    F*ck you Blizzard for ruining one of the favorite franchises of an entire generation. You lazy, creatively bankrupt, lying dumb*sses.

    - The Devs don't play their games - They literally announce one of the core defensive stats in the game, elemental resistance, to not working properly and they would only address it in season 2 (Yes, a core mechanic that needs 4 months of work to be fixed). However, they add that very "not working properly" stats into the item affixes pool, and literally buffed the passive that gives elemental resistance on Sorc, but who asked? It's not working properly, instead of fixing it, they keep acting like it's hot **** and players need to use it. Not to mention Overpower - yet again, one of the core offensive mechanic in the game, is **** garbage, and they did nothing, nothing to change it, they acted like it didn't even exist in their **** game.
    - ****ty communication - basically every freaking piece of news is announce via a personnal twitter account, haha very professional Blizzard.

    For a $70 price tag, this game feels unfinished, unpolished, rushed, and untested. Blizzard doesn't give a **** about making good games anymore, they're making use of the success of their golden age to milk as much money as they can and then done with it. Diablo 2, Warcraft 3 were masterpieces, sadly the current generation at Blizzard are ruining them.

They said in the last big patch that they would increase mob density for helltide zones. Apparently increasing mob density means the mystery chest takes more cinders to open and that the chance for cinders to drop is significantly decreased. Stupid. They had a good thing going and honestly I think a few classes just straight up need buffs. Maybe they will realize how stupid the update is and will fix it, it’s Blizzard though so I doubt I’ll enjoy the game again. Expand

The statements that it’s all for the “health of the game” is BS. The future health of the game is THE PLAYERS! Not your idea of what it should be and since you don’t like it, you stop it. Instead of focusing on creating new content, new equipment that might entice people to change their builds, new dungeons (which is basically the only thing to do in endgame besides Helltides), we have continuous messing around with players characters because the developers don’t like how players are playing the game. THE PLAYERS PAID FOR THE GAME! You made a product! Players will play how they want!!

    The devs wanted people to use nightmare dungeons for loot and experience, they increased experience but no no no, now you level up to fast so we’re taking that away and knocking you back 18 ND levels because we hate you and hate your dog. The treasure goblins suck. They don’t give you treasure. You chase down a glowing glob of goo for nothing. The developers don’t like people farming Helltide mystery chests. They raise the price of them. The said it was “a bug” that reduced cinders. If you believe that, don’t. I don’t want to farm dead people on a stick and kick rocks to see if they are under there. The fun was running and killing monsters fast and finding the chests. It’s not like you have a chance to get anything you use in there for anything other than material. So what the problem? The problem was fun for players and pissing developers off that people were playing how they want them to play. Actual good equipment is so rare. You have to assumably play for 1000 hours and still hope you get something. I started the game with my husband as we did with the other Diablos. We have two TVs next to each other. He plays a barbarian, I play a rouge. The unbalanced amount of drops is unreal. He literally got 3-4:1 legendarys or/and horse cosmetics to my character… through the whole game. The worst part, you can’t trade them or give them to your friends! The legendarys are the more crap in the game, why can’t you give them to your friends? How about not dropping equipment that doesn’t belong to your class if you can’t drop it to friends. OR FIX THE STORAGE SPACE! What could have been a good game that was built on, will never be a good game with the people there that are working on it. There’s still server problems and rubber banding, loot is terrible, they keep messing with characters, goblins suck, there’s no cow level, to do anything in the game is expensive and took take farming away to get more gold, they killed Helltides, there’s plenty of equipment to refine to materials, very very very hard to get drops of stuff you can use, experiment gain is butchered…I could just go on and on. Bottom line, Blizzard doesn’t like people playing how they want to play so they kick you and cut you off. They want you to play in their vision of a game. Well FCK that. I paid for the game, I paid for a product to use how I want. You make new content that’s relevant and I use it in my product to change what I want. Instead of chopping characters up, make new and harder monsters to fight at higher levels. I quit the other day after dying multiple times with the build I have in a dungeon level I have been playing easily. Then I checked out a Helltide because I was getting frustrated. That was the final thing that did it for me. This franchise is dead with the people in charge of this one. They don’t care about a good game, they care about keeping you in there for as long as possible.

    No end game content. Nerfing everything we like and not listening to community. Good job blizzard another bad game on your list.

    I am begging the devs to play their own game. I’ve never seen such blatant disregard for the community or willful misunderstanding of why people play a Diablo game. NO ONE CARES ABOUT BALANCE IN A SINGLE PLAYER ACTION RPG. Please just let us kill mobs, get loot, eat hot chip and lie.

    There's a fair bit to like about Diablo IV — best-in-class sound design, intriguing character classes, fantastic graphics and occasionally addictive gameplay all feel like the series in its prime. However, even the best parts are let down by an undercurrent of frustrating design choices: the cynical inclusion of a Battle Pass, a bloated open world, repetitive mission structure and progression that too often feels meaningless cast a long shadow that let the latest Diablo title down. Future Seasons may refine what's here, but many of its issues sadly feel baked into the core experience. All but the most die-hard fans may wish to wait for a substantial sale on this one.

    The visuals are probably what excited me the most. The way the game looks and the atmosphere makes me feel like I'm playing the old Diablo again. On steroids and on a quadruple screen TV, but the feeling is still there. [Issue#328]

    Diablo is back, and taking no prisoners. The top-quality, lengthy campaign will be enough for some, while the endgame should prove a welcome obsession for others. [Issue#30, p.84]
