    Not since the Star Wars Galaxies combat update or NGE release has a patch been so unanimously hated. 1.11 Season 1 should be renamed to Season of the Moribund. Long loading times, insane lag of season launch day, it is like they have learnt a thing since launch!

    I can live with bad patches, hey it's your game. But the service itself is quite bad, lags, rubberbanding in town and endless queues are things that do not work out for a game that is basically a single player one. Was looking forward to play season 1 today, 1 hour queue....

    Promising game at the start but devs quickly proven to be incompetent and inept. The management use scummy and predatory moves such as nerfing exp and making gameplay much slower to squeeze out game time from playet base. I HIGHLY recommend people to give it no more than zero

Every patch and update for Diablo 4 since the first closed beta week has only aimed to make the game slower and LESS FUN. They want to keep you in the game by decreasing overall leveling and gameplay experience to increase their own metrics. Instead of just adding playful mechanics or additional events/minigames. This ONLY GETS WORSE with season 1. For some reason, they think it's fun/optimal gameplay to make leveling slower, mobs harder, decrease exp gained all round, nerf dmg reductions, nerf fun builds, NO BUFFS to off builds, nerf helltides, nerf vulnerability/crit dmg, and increase teleportation time, like wtf?

    ALL those bad gameplay decisions without addressing or fixing the resistances, storage space, early level gameplay drag, and so much more. IIt genuinely feels like they (diablo dev team and leadership) don't play enough games and enough of their own game to see the flaws. Does anyone else feel like we, the players, are QA testing this game for them? A lot of this can steam from Joe Shelley and others coming from the WOW team cause these are all problems they've done in WOW.

    And can Blizzard STOP with stealth nerfing and turning off items/aspects, thanks.    … Expand

There is VRAM issues where the usage climbs and claims about 90% of it, the only way to quick fix this is by using al alternative app that clears the Cache, like EGU and by constantly dropping the Quality to Medium and then back to high, like resetting the settings which is very annoying. Game has A LOT of Stuttering in many zones, the World Feels Empty with little to do after you've finished the Campaign, when there's lots of content that could be Reused in a Weekly or Daily basis that once we get to Nightmare dungeons we completely Abandon. Once NDs are available it will be unlikely that we Do WBs, any Tree of Whispers Events are ignored just like Random Estuar events, Cellars, when we could Reset some of these or get NPCs involved in them by means of giving us Bounties for Rewards that are Actually Useful. Caches filled with Materials, Items, Loot, Gold, anything, but basically we go about with Mindnumbing ND farming so its basically becoming D3 Rift farming. IDK, there's so much potential, but instead they worry more about nerfing everything to the ground and micro transactions. Such a shame. hopefully after all this feedback from the community that care about the game, they actually DO SOMETHING that benefits the player more than their Pockets!… Expand

    Awesome "waiting in queue simulator". Sometimes it lets you play a forced always-online game which is fine for couple hours and boring wow-like after that. Online shop is always working fine and with 0 lag though

Nobody wants a max level cap of 5 for skills resulting in immediate boredom on not knowing what else to put skill points into - you dont feel anymore powerful after level 30, that is when i uninstalled and never went back. Gear and loot is atrocious - there isnt any sort of recognition of whats even good and nothing feels good about it. The skills are semi cool but there are SO few that leaves us with like barely any variety to choose, D2 had SO many and was the perfect skill tree. We want runes, but they dont have runes. We want runewords but they dont have runewords. The only thing going for this game is the graphics which i like but god damn this game sucks.… Expand

    When the game first came out, I thought it was a great addition to the Diablo franchise. However, after the brutal nerfs after the first patch, I find the game just flat out not fun. The same thing happened when D3 came out. I have no idea why devs try to force types of play on a community that was having a great time with the game. I don't plan on logging in until things are fixed.

    the gear system is really bad

    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...

So you need to re-discover everything again. **** I'm not going to spend my whole time looking for all that AGAIN! Its a pain in the %·"·, besides, rewards are lame. 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

Oh well they think that’s more time you’ll spend replaying another class that doesn’t suck. They are so money hungry that it’s sickening and I have honestly grown to truly hate this company and know for a fact that I will not be wasting a single second or dollar on them again. The amount of stress and disappointment I have gotten just from trying to play their games isn’t worth it.

    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]
