    1.1 patch is a giant dumpster fire. Anything past level 80 is completely pointless. There have been no meaningful QOL changes that have been desperately needed already, not even but a little over a month after launch. 90% of what the community has asked for has been ignored/communication has been radio silent. I do not recommend touching this game for at least another year at this rate

    Blizzard Activision being Blizzard Activision. If you have to withhold patch notes till the last second because you're scared of the reaction, maybe you should rethink the content.

    Seriously y'all...you should never ever ever cut this deep this quickly. You are playing both ends against the middle.

    For a live service game, having developers that listen to player feedback is incredibly important to it's longevity, replayability, and improving upon the game as it ages. Diablo IV has none of that.

    When playing the game expect to to be killed in 1 hit. Or 15 min to kill 1 mob. In a game designed to kill hords of thousands and collect loot before the patch the game was actually fun. Now the game just isn't fun nor worth the effort to pretend that it's fun.

    Save your money and time for other games. I have spent more than 240+ hours since launching and really don’t appreciate Blizzard punishing us and take away all the fun by asking us to grind more.. play more hours yet not being rewarded. Changing build is stressful.. stash space is limited..

    Peace out.

    It's game is telling you to enjoys your life with other thing and other game. This game has no content. The development team only provide your disappointment. They only know how to find excuse but they would not do anything. (Just like some coworker you have in your life.)

    Devs are completely out of touch with the player base. Choosing to nerf everything so the grind is longer because there is a complete lack of endgame content instead of actually adding more content and improving the gameplay loop and itemization. Blizzard as a whole have been in decline there is no more passion and vision in this company.

    I'll start by saying I enjoyed my time doing the campaign. And then after that, the game became a grind fest and because I'm a Druid, I got locked out of the best builds(Tornado Wolf, Pulverize) because I didn't get any of the key Uniques needed for them to function. Several issues need to be addressed; storage space, uniques being way too rare to get, and how grindy the game is. AndI'll start by saying I enjoyed my time doing the campaign.

Several issues need to be addressed; storage space, uniques being way too rare to get, and how grindy the game is. And then the last few patches made it worse! All classes do/take worse damage, enemies are more challenging and give less experience, and Helltide has been made worse. None of the issues have been addressed and the game has been made terrible right before Season 1. It's tone deaf, feels greedy cause it forces people to buy the battlepass, and even then the game just isn't as fun as it was at launch. I wanted to give this game a chance, but I've had enough. The D4 devs dropped the bag big time. This should've been the biggest game of 2023.… 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.

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.

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.    … Expand

I get one shotted constantly and even abruptly die in helltides if I scratch my nose at the wrong time. My sorcerer is broken. I created this account because of how disappointed I am. I tried to play again today as the new season starts tomorrow but it just wasn't fun. I played a nm only two levels higher than me and died twice. I was doing nm 10 to 15 levels higher than this with relevant ease before the 1.1 patch. I'm slower, weaker, I can take less damage, I give less damage and my mana runs out again and my cooldowns are painfully slow. The game abruptly and so sharply has stopped being fun. I have stopped playing and uninstalled the game. Looking for something else to play now while waiting for BG3 and Starfield.… Expand

    Forget Diablo until now. The current developers are incompetent. In response to the lack of content, they take steps to increase playtime by slowing down the growth rate. It's like taking steps to slow down the roller coaster to the customer's response that the roller coaster is short.

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.

    - 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

    - 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"

    - Damage to CCed enemies reduced by 30%

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

Nerfing every single character because player are too powerful?? what about you made a unbalanced game and charging AAA price. crazy world it is

    Instead of the best Diablo game, I pre-ordered the most boring one. No great items, no fun gameplay, no interesting progression, no reason to experiment with builds, just pretty graphics

    They had to nerf everything to make their game take longer, because there is nothing in the game. You do the same things over and over again and there is no challenge. Becomes renewal boring after awhile.

    Wanting € 20,- for a skin, but could not handle their own servers. Paying € 70 for a game, I am not able to play. Blizzard, get you stuff together, this is unbearable.
    It's shame, what the video game industry has become. "unusual long waiting queue" ? Yes? People want to play your product!

    Developers hyped a huge 6600 word patch with the community, but only delivered nerfs across the board.

    Grind, crash, lag, nerf, boring.
    This is Diablo 4 experience.
    Season 1 just broke more the game, and add nothing.

    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]
