    Literally unplayable at this point. Hundreds of hours wasted with the swing of the nerf bat. Uninstalled and will not be playing again.

E então veio a season, algo que deveria melhorar o jogo e trazer um motivo para jogar, masss junto com a season vem nerfs aleatorios , destroem o mago por ser o mais jogado porém não mexem nos dois muito mais fortes que o mago tornando diablo um jogo para duas classes. Nada empolgante na season, só fazer o que já fazia mas agora cai item diferente... Triste que um jogo seja caro apenas por ser, nunca por mérito ou algo que justifique. Mas só o fato de não ter um suporte a mouse e teclado coisa mais fácil do mundo de se fazer, só a preguiça justifica e isso já diz muito sobre todo o resto do jogo. E o patch 1.1 tornou tudo que era ruim, ainda pior. Expand

    It is inconceivable that we pay a lot of money for a game and the company simply does not give a damn about its customers and consumers.
    The vast majority of the public, on all channels, on all social networks, did not like the changes and nerfs, every day asking everywhere for Blizzard to change and improve what they did and they just don't care about us.
    First they messed up WoW, then

    First they messed up WoW, then Overwatch, and now Diablo. That was the final nail in the coffin. It's unbelievable. I refuse to support a company that doesn't care about making a good game and just makes changes that make everything worse.
    Blizzard, I uninstalled Diablo and every other Blizzard game I had and I'm not going back. They lost a customer of years. My money Blizzard will no longer have.

You get two amazing cinematics, 1 of them being the game launch cinematic, awfully scripted storyline portraited through cutscenes. Lorath's voice acting is on point but his lung cancer voice seriously gets on your nerves after cutscene #29. Not to mention how hard they push you to use their in game shop after having already paid 60, 90 or 100 dollars. Game design is awful as always from Blizzard, bland talent tree, green and red tooltips making us think we're stupid and can't figure out what's better ourselves. UI feels extremely mobile because the game is catered to console users for maximum profit. Further, they're giving us only a few keybinds and they're massive and glued to under your action bar and cannot be turned off.

    Stop feeding greed, force AAA game companies to go back to the basics of game design and not
    chase maximum profit for minimum effort, ruining every single artistic and fun aspect that good games can bring.

    This is a full price game yet there are tons of macro transactions (can't call them micro anymore at these prices) in the game. Its an absolute disgrace. I don't pay full price for a game just to be met with an in-game store that is selling me even more stuff. What happened to games where you could earn everything by just playing the game?

I've played better if you don't balance the classes it's useless. You can't charge a Beta game as effective and have to wait for patches to balance. Make him pay less and write us beta then I'm fine with it but full price for a finished product doesn't exist. Side quests few good and many repetitive. It's deadly boring doing secondary schools that don't shine at all. Reviewers give this game too high a rating it deserves 6 to 7 maximum. Scale your expectations this game costs too much for what it offers. The thing that is most to like are the localized dialogues, open world and cutscenes. Expand

    Due to the irresponsible patching of the management, the "Rogue" players felt angry and disappointed. Not only did the patch simply nerf the character, but the mechanism of character play itself collapsed, and there was no reason to play "Rogue" anymore after the endgame.

    Nothing but a waiting simulator. These server issues are ridiculous. Good luck even getting into character creation. Queue times for me went from 3 minutes, to two hours, to five hours, to seven hours, and now up to 9. Figured that can't be right so I restarted it. Now it's 16 and a half hours.

    I get that it just released, but that's ridiculous. And it's not even the weekend yet!

Charge back via credit card is the only sensible recourse.

    I can't really enjoy the strengths of this game (story, graphics, animation, world, skill synergy) because you constantly sweating that your opponents are just as strong as you, no matter how much you leveled before, no matter what gear you have.

    Each level up turns into a problem because the player needs to think about how to catch up with the momentarily increased power of the monsters.

    The monsters are always a few steps ahead and you're catching up. And it’s not easy to catch up, you need to regularly study the descriptions of everything, spend a lot of time studying skills and synergies in order to catch up with monsters that are always ahead in strength.
    This is absurd!

    The game turns into build management to just not die from a rat, and this need is constant!

    Auto level kills the most basic mechanics of the RPG genre, level up to move further. Here you lvl up to lvl up, it makes no sense.

    Search Actman Diablo 4 and watch any of his related reviews. Search Blizzard lawsuits.

    I scheduled my G.D. vacation time for the D4 release & 3 days into playing it stopped being fun. I'm still upset. What a scam.

    The once great Blizzard North was bought out over a decade ago and none of the brilliant minds still work there at what is now called Activision Blizzard. I didn't know this until after buying D4. Blizzard pumps out flashy games with no substance and puts the Blizzard stamp on it to cash in on nostalgia and utilize predatory in game cash transaction practices. Their games are pure marketing & sales. Look at reviews for any of their games in the last decade. I wish I had.

    Don't believe the positive critic reviews or the fake positive reviews masquerading as negative ones. Blizzard pays for those to confuse people

    This isn't a Diablo game at all. This is another cash grab by greedy corporate suits who view us gamers as cattle. The story is uninspired. The combat is stale and oversimplified. The game's experience is deplorable, with the only complete and well-thought-out feature being the shop, which is the only part of this "game" I have good words for.

    Game had so much potential but it was all a hollow shell that became obvious after finishing the campaign its all there is, there is no endgame and it a game designed for casuals as a cash grab.

    If you can't tell, every single thing they did was for one reason only. To increase the time it takes you to do every thing! The cool down reduction is the king of bad choices though. It's significantly reduced the action in Diablo 4, an ACTION RPG game lol.

    The patch today was a steaming pile. I think most people would agree with that. Nerfs across the board never sit well with gamers, especially in ARPG's. But I don't think they understand how "on the fence" most people already were.

    As more and more people reached the end game and realized how truly lacking in depth this game really is, the tone amongst Reddit, Twitter, Discord, and Forums started to shift. That was two weeks ago.

    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 fetching the stones and putting them on the pedestals.

    The cracks are starting to show in the end game, and people feel like we're playing a paid Beta, you decide now is the time to drop a patch that **** on every build. What better way to push everyone over the edge than to nerf everything?

    Damage? NERF
    Defense? NERF
    Cooldown? NERF
    XP? NERF
    Power Leveling? NERF
    Helltide? NERF

    Sure, some builds needed to be fixed, but you didn't have to completely gut entire classes while you were at it. But the nerfs are not even the point of this post. I don't even care about them. I'll adapt and overcome, I'm not afraid of a challenge. But this patch made me really think, why play season 1 at all? You didn't address a single one of the NUMEROUS valid complaints about this game.

    6 new uniques? If you think adding 6 new unique items for every 3 month season is an acceptable pace to bring some depth to the sorely lacking itemization in this game, I might as well not play until season 30.

    No leaderboards? No in-game trading with an option for self-found mode? No paragon board reset? No Occultist changes? (Cost or listing possible outcomes) No group finder? No stash tabs?

    Nothing, in fact. Not a single thing to shine a bit of light on this **** sandwich. You made the game slower. Mobs take longer to kill, and yield less xp, and we're now gated to lower world tiers until the "recommended" (now mandatory) levels of 50 for WT3 and 70 for WT4.

    So on Thursday, we're expected to start over, but this time it's all slower, less fun, time & experience gated. And all to get to the end and realize what an unfinished and lacking game this really is. Again. Still.

    Maybe if you spend less time trying to "balance" a SINGLE PLAYER PVE GAME WHERE NOBODY CARES ABOUT BALANCE, and more time adding things that are actually fun and immersive, you might sell more battle passes and cosmetics.

    What an absolute joke.

First time I've ever played a game that was more fun in beta than after the first major post release patch. Factors contributing to the lack of fun: no ended game content, incredibly slow progression both with XP and gear, too few viable build options (mainly because instead of making underperform skills they decided to just make everything worse. This is how not to fix a game 101), the necessity of creating a new character every 3 months to experience the seasonal content, game is "balanced" around powerful seasonal abilities, that are temporary, instead of around the base game, which is the wrong way to balance a game as proven by plenty of other games, including ones from Blizzard, she they should know better.

    Diablo IV is the perfect evolution of the series. The many new features make for a truly modern title, giving us an experience capable of keeping us glued to the controller for many hours, without neglecting the historical and most beloved features of the series. If we add to this a technical aspect of the highest quality, a very accessible multiplayer structure, and a huge end-game, we obtain a majestic title that stands as the best exponent of the action-RPG genre and is capable of bringing us plenty of emotions.

    Diablo IV is a social phenomenon and once again sets a new standard for the genre. It's a dark, spooky, action-packed experience. Combat is frantic, fluid and fun, while micro-management of resources and inventory feels better than ever before.

    Diablo IV is the culmination of everything Blizzard has set up before to make one ultimate experience. The world is stunning, drowned in a beautiful soundtrack that makes even the smallest moments feel epic. With a deep character system, satisfying combat and an endgame that feels like only the start of your adventure, it's hard not to recommend. Dig in, experiment with classes, fight some demons and loot some dungeons. You won’t regret it.
