    It takes the qualities to ruin ahead of time an experience that, even with many problems, had potential.

    With what courage can I now buy the Battle Pass, or rather with what desire can I face the new season which basically only has the mechanics of these hearts which on paper really sucks.
    The patch had only one effect making me return to PoE making me regret having abandoned it for these 5 weeks and making me wait even more hype for the presentation of PoE2.
    As for WOW, Diablo 4, personally, is done with me too... they will be able to release all the seasons and DLCs they want but the point is that by now we can no longer trust Blizzard and that band of developers who after this patch have shown that they have never played the game they developed themselves.
    I strongly advise against the purchase and save the money that it is not really worth it. GG BLIZZARD    … Expand

    Evidently Blizzard's primary goal is to make the least fun game of all time because that's basically what they've done with the latest patch. Any enjoyment that i was getting out of the game was killed. I seriously cannot wrap my mind around how they thought that 99% of the changes in this patch were ok. It's unbelievable.

    After patch 1.1, this game is now Diablo Poor. Terrible adjustments to the game. No improvements made.

    Diablo 4 had what seems at first to be an amazingly well polished game.

Not by giving you more content, but by stretching out already unfinished content and introducing patch notes that literally take out parts of the game people universally loved and introducing time wasting mechanics instead. It seems clear that blizzard rushed this beta version out early and then got way too confident with the great reviews of people who played the great first 10-20 hours of the game. Then the game that was advertised to us turned out to be unfinished and redoing the same side quests each season and losing your progress was pitched as the exciting seasonal model. Blizzard was really close to nailing this one, turns out it was designed to get you to play long enough that your refund was no longer eligible and that's it.

    Edited to lower score after the laughable patch notes where they ignored all player feedback. I won't be buying blizzard ever again and this silly review is the most I can ever do since they denied my refund requests. (I bought platinum and they even lied and said I bought it past the time for a refund, a lie and a cash grab)

    I've never been this upset with a game developer and can only warn others not to buy until they fix their game.    … Expand

    A live service train wreck. Shallow and Soulless. Nerfing you’re builds so you have to re farm,
    and killing XP gained to stretch out the content. Just before trying to sell you, the battle pass.
    which is so hollow. It needs you to replay side quests
    and start everything all over again.

    If you have any respect for your own time, don’t touch this hot mess..

    then came the patch ive uninstalled (and Bnet) better games to play than wasting my time on this moblie port

    wont ever buy another blizzard game ever!

    the grind broken classes and lacking build diversity items etc followed by the worst patch in diablo history destroyed almost everyones will and motivation (including mine) to play Diablo IV. Patch 1.1 should've existed out of QoL and/or harder content such as torment 5, 6, or above.
    But instead they nerfed the classes into oblivion where as the sorcerer is not even playable anymore.
    Blizzard as a company is out of touch, and has lost complete sense of feel or connection with the player base.

    wish i could refund (as we where mislead) it biggest waste of money game ever!    … Expand

    Lots of unnecessary nerfs implemented in the last patch while things that needed change were overlooked.

They also removed the sense of achievement when killing higher level monsters by nerfing the exp and instead decided to bring the monsters’ level down because they wanted to “give players a better sense of their power progression and mastery over the world.” Personally, I’d prefer to be actually stronger and beat higher level enemies than picking on the weak. Horses are still wonky, cooldowns are a pain in the neck, rewarding system is still underwhelming, reroll cost is too high, sever’s lagging, game has no social aspect, trading system is a joke, necro’s minions are still squishy as ever, and sorcs… well, we don’t talk about sorcs…… Expand

    So, in a world where the community wants more content that's less grindy or repetitive, the devs enforced a patched that does exactly that.
    Now builds are playability are dictated by the buff/nerfs patches.
    I guess I can find more diversity in PoE/Last Epoch.

    It's a great game with lots of potential, but Blizzard keeps ruining it with every patch. They just made the game alot worse for S1 and if tey continue down this path, the game will be dead soon.

Blizzard wants to hype season 1 at the expense of the eternal realm. They don't want little timmy playing on the eternal realm when he can be funneled into seasonal play and maybe buy the battle pass.

More bugs than a picnic basket at the park. The patches are always to fix bugs and nerf characters in some way. Please stay away from this game there are many other options. There is even news to where the developer themselves said to play another game while playing this one. To current players I apologize but nerfing cool down reduction was the one for me. It felt slow as is already and reducing cool down reduction was simply just to hurt the players and waste more time. There was absolutely no reason for this nerf because it was not powerful just made the game play bearable to play the least.… 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.

    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]
