    Patch 1.1 didn´t address any of the problems players had. The only goal was to nerf everything in order to make the game harder and make people spend more time playing it ( since no end game content was added ) . Absolutely disgusting strategy from Blizzard.

    The game started out ok, a bit of a slug to level up and get into an entertaining state, but the latest patch completely missed the point of what made Diablo fun in the first place. It makes me think of if Nintendo shipped a patch to Mario Kart to make the physics match an F1 simulator because they thought it was too easy for players to drive around the track.

Now with the recent patch (1.1) it has made the game harder, increased the grind, removed several builds due to nerfs, and seems that when any OP build is found it gets nerfed instantly. Instead of utilizing the time nerfing what is left of the game why not concentrate on improving it by adding features players have been asking for since beta, like the following to name a few:

    -Increased stash space
    -Increased inventory space
    -Loot filter
    -Loot management system allowing to search gear in chest.
    -Map overlay

    It seems that the developers are out of touch with the community and simply have one tool to "fix" any issues which is the nerf hammer. Instead of buffing other builds/features anything that is preforming well gets hit. The players should be allowed to play any build, even when something is over preforming. Thats the fun part of the game is discovering these builds and trying them out NOT releasing hot fixes ASAP nerfing anything that pops up on the radar. Do that at the END of content sessions or save them for large patches to allow the community to actually play and have fun with the game. Im done being a beta tester with the game and simply want to have fun while playing a video game but guess blizzard has different plans.    … Expand

    i really wanted to like this game. have been waiting for years for it's release. After getting almost $100 from thousands of players, Blizzard has decided to not only nerf Sorcerers again, but the whole game in general.

    Crit and vulnerable damage nerfed 17% and 40% respectively, not counting the nerf to the inherent affixes to certain weapons.

    - No mount changes at all

    - Powerleveling just got gutted so now you can't even boost characters anymore

    - World Tier 2 got a slight gold buff and item buff, 0 XP buffs which was the main issue

    - Level scaling on monsters puts them a few levels lower so XP has gone down AGAIN

    - Channel time for leave dungeon is 5 seconds instead of 3, why? Why add more time waste? Such a weird unnecessary change, I haven't seen this brought up once

    - No roadblock changes

    - Helltide Mystery chest cost increased from 175 to 250, why? Why is this necessary?

    - Hamstring only slows healthy enemies? Why?

    - " There is no longer a limit to how many materials you can refine into higher materials at once. " WHY WAS THIS EVEN IN THE GAME? They literally made bad changes just to revert them back and say "we're making progress"

    - Main stats nerfed on weapons by half

    - CDR nerfed on all gear

    - All Crit damage nerfed by 17%

    - All vulnerable damage reduced by 40%

    - Damage to CCed enemies reduced by 30%

    The fact is, people are getting bored. This is an ACTION RPG with slow paced action. It's a LOOT hunter with boring loot. This is an MMO with no social aspects. A dungeon crawler that feels more like a game of fetch the stones and put them on the pedestals.    … Expand

    The rational part of my brain acknowledges that intentionally ruining the game wouldn't make sense. It's bad for their reputation and finances, and it's causing players to lose faith in what could have been an amazing experience. It seems like an incredibly risky move.

I    The rational part of my brain acknowledges that intentionally ruining the game wouldn't make sense. It's bad for their reputation and finances, and it's causing players to lose faith in what could have been an amazing experience. It seems like an incredibly risky move.

    As someone who isn't involved in game development, I don't fully grasp the inner workings of the Blizzard offices. I assume there are teams, separate from the developers, that pay attention to player feedback and balance the game accordingly. There should also be a team responsible for ensuring that the changes in each patch align with what the community needs, addressing necessary nerfs without going overboard.

    They must have been aware of the potential issues that would arise, right? They should have anticipated this situation. So, the only conclusion I can draw is that they intentionally wanted to start fresh. Perhaps they want us to spend more time grinding during the upcoming season, aiming to maximize player retention, whether by choice or by the force of Blizzard's actions.

    Blizzard must have gathered a significant amount of data on the time it took players to reach level 100. However, it appears they focused on streamers rather than the average players who worked hard to reach level 56 and were content with their progress. They used this knowledge to ensure such progress doesn't happen in Season 1, resulting in across-the-board nerfs.

    It also seems likely that they assume we will forget about these issues when creating our seasonal characters. While this may be true for many players, there will be legitimate quits due to this debacle. Blizzard seems to welcome both outcomes, wanting players to forget about their previous strength.

    Numerous posts have referred to this as Public Beta 1.1, and that analogy couldn't be more accurate. Blizzard likely couldn't risk giving full game access to actual beta testers, as they would have torn it apart and damaged its ratings. So instead, we got a glimpse—a necessary risk because the game was rushed. Even if it wasn't rushed, they would never have known how the game would truly fare once released to the masses. Now, having learned from this experience, we're facing the mega-nerf.

    This mega-nerf establishes a new baseline, and I highly doubt they will repeat such a drastic move. At this moment, I share the frustration and disappointment felt by everyone else. I'm not here to make excuses. I simply want to express my frustrations, seek understanding, learn from past experiences with this studio, and hope for improvement in the game. I also wish for every individual involved in this decision to have recurring nightmares until the game becomes stable and players are satisfied. This situation is truly disappointing, and my faith in Blizzard has been shaken.    … Expand

Caches filled with Materials, Items, Loot, Gold, anything, but basically we go about with Mindnumbing ND farming so its basically becoming D3 Rift farming.

    the devs had the ability to look at D3 and see what it did well, what people liked, and implement those things into D4 or just take inspiration of those things. they could have looked at other games that do well like PoE and take inspiration out of that.
    for some reason they did neither. all the QoL changes those games made over the years ? D4 has none of that :)

    it's actually disgusting that they have the audacity to charge 70 bucks for this...
    on top of the box costs there's the extra cost for the battle pass every season.    … Expand

    Absolute rubbish.. never have I felt so bad for spending that much money on a game... everything feels like a mechanic in place to keep you locked into the game as long as possible, and almost nothing feels as if it's in place because they want you to have genuine fun.. oh and no trading, yanky mechanics, rubbish endgame and the list goes on and on

There's no sets, no power ups for each class, nothing. The New Season is PURE MICROTRANSACTIONS. AGAIN! LAME. This game is a piece of crap and deserves the worst possible score.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Blizzard once again strikes their fan base down by launching a game for everyone to beta test, that constantly has seen changes that transformed the game from very fun at launch into a drag to even log due to the incessant bugs, very restricted way to build your character that actually can defeat content, many, many quality of life things that literally had to be added through time for the same mistakes on Diablo 3 that simply aren’t anywhere to be seen on Diablo 4. Why? Why such little stash space? Why the need to make players avoiding making alternate characters by nerfing experience and fun ways to power level with friends to be able to play at the same level? Why are the devs, especifically Mr. Rod Ferguson trying to trick and tell players that “remember Diablo 4 has been out for only a few weeks” means that a triple A, bug riddled game (resistances don’t work, spells don’t work as intended, damage calculation is bugged, and the list goes on) is ok to have and we shouldn’t demand that fixes are churned quicker rather than later? And to top it all off, they release a patch where they literally change every single build every player has for worse, make the least customizable, least powerful class that’s bugged (sorcerer) worse, show a desperate attempt to slow everyone’s progress and restrict growth, and to make matters worse is riddled with a myriad of even more bugs. And we’re supposed to say thanks?
    I give it a 1 because the art, story and cinematics team should be rewarded, praised and recognized for creating such an interesting, and beautiful, dark world and ambiance, what a missed opportunity. This shouldn’t be accepted, that’s my 2 cents.    … Expand

My experience in the game was okay if not good before this , I ignored the lazy/sad/CHEESY excuse of "difficulty" that is insane crowd control mechanics that enemies in the world implemented on players making a smooth play through quite challenging when you're constantly feared, frozen/chilled, stunned, pinned in a corner from stone walls/lightning pillars erected by enemies while standing in a puddle of poison helpless, getting one shot by after/on death effects unseen due to screen clutter . However it's quite difficult to ignore the fact when I log in and do a nightmare dungeon I'd normally run through and I'm doing half the damage I normally did while also taking bucket loads of more damage and getting less experience. On top of that making it harder to enchant good stats on gear by adding an acknowledged broken stat like resistance to the possible rolls on gear? Why waste my time on a game with devs that say they are "listening" to the community but push through terrible patches such as this. Hopefully it levels out in time but until then I am putting the game down and venturing else where.… Expand

Really wanted to love this game, it was supposed to be the new best thing, the beginning was excellent the story was genuinely engaging for the main campaign at the start and then after you finish beating it for the first time that just absolutely stops. You can beat the main game at about level 40 ish maybe a little later or a little earlier depending and after that the multiplayer is supposed to kick in. Get access to WT3 around level 50 and maybe WT4 around 60-65 depending on skill level but everything from level 50 onwards is just an absolute slog. Not only is there a lack of anything to really do but the dungeons are all some variation of copy paste of each other. The world bosses are timed usually while you are at work and the loot is absolute garbage for every single activity you can partake in. Not only did they nerf the hell out of the density for the monsters to the point where you're just walking a giant line with a circle with the occasional fight every 3 minutes but they continually nerf player power and xp gain on top of that. All the gear is bland and hope you like making spreadsheets because that's really all new gear feels like after level 50, You get 4 stash tabs that fill up insanely fast, uniques aren't unique in any way except for the single special affix on them most of which are garbage and actually unuseable because they nerf your character further. There are bugs galore in the game that have gone unfixed despite player outcry (Resistances don't work at all, horses get caught on the tiniest pixels etc.) the paragon board is massive with no real choices to be made and also requires you to manually one at a time refund them if you wish to respect. You will NEVER have enough gold, rerolling a piece of gear can cost hundreds of thousands to millions of gold and on WT4 a monster MIGHt drop 800 on average. Elites are absolutely busted, they tend to spawn 6 elites on top of each other that will just CC you to death because their skills are near unavoidable and they body block you into each other. They have enemies that can literally one shot you from rooms away if not careful in one hit that are a constant threat. On top of all t his lack of fun blizzard seems more concerned with setting the game up for another Diablo Immortal style cash grab system than listening to their fans and fixing things/making them more enjoyable. They seem to be completely capable of nerfing things into the ground in just a couple hours but always have excuses for why they can't fix things in the same time span. At this point I've given up on the game until some major changes happen to put some semblance of fun back into it and improve upon the state. If you spend money on this know you're essentially paying blizzard for a beta test experience if even that, it now feels more like you're in the starting phases of an alpha things are so bad. It's pretty sad that things are in their current state when Diablo 2 has been out for nearly 20 years and is still far superior to this.… Expand

    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]
