First of all, I do like that blizz made FB. Happy with that, but, whole game with new patch got so slow. It all starts with battle.net app from the moment to click play. Takes ages to load the game. Then, leaving to menus takes sometimes up to 1 minute and getting back to game also. Party invites or joining takes lo long time. But the biggest issue that annoys me is gameplay. I dont know how come, for example in S22 when I played necro, everything worked flawless, after the endo of season Necro was not playable because game dont seem to respond to commands like blood rush, it takes sometimes up to 2 seconds to get the hell out of there, simulacrums shooting to china even my cursor clearly shows that I am aimed at the elite. Other thing, when refilling essence, simulacrums often stay somewhere behind sything the air, same with poison cycle, when I go away from pack simulacrum stays at the pack. Other the biggest issue is game freeze and I mean its serious, Game tends to freeze almost in every GR run or when you make so good progression, just before finish game decides to freeze and the worst part is until you lay down dead game is working, press resurrect game freeze again minimum 30 seconds and 7!! time in the row. After it seem to disappear after 1 or 2 min it freezes again for 3 times in row. I have had freezes before that I could live with, because one you got it it didnt reappear, but with this update game is not playable. Then its not lag but bug, when wiz is doing something, suddenly explosion freezes stays with character, you can run around but cant do anything, no mobs nothing and you cant even leave the game after pressing ESC. Third thing, no area damage anywhere, but big pack with mobs and few elites tends to either kill the game or freeze the game. Duplicates should be fixed that they dont spawn behind you but on spot you want them and NOT let them try run away as soon as you spawn them. Thats it for now.
PS. I dont have cheap gear, my pc is 3K eur price range, so I cant blame hardware

How about this? Next time before you wrote a complaint letter about something, at least make sure you know how to use paragraphs first.
Also, while this season doesnât have ârealâ seasonal theme, but it is certainly not the worst patch ever as it gives us âfree storagesâ and set leaderboards for solo player.

Wall of text is almost never read by any brave soul after one sentence (which lasts forver in this wall of text.)
I donât personally care there is no âthemeâ this season.
Have we forgotten already the servers were crashing S22 Friday night at start for hours?
It still was a great attempt at making the season fun and easier than usual to start out.
The season theme for S22 bottomed out somewhere between gr110 and 120.
I believe that was intentional.
Most likely, blizzard feels the D2R and D4 is closer these pandemic days.
I am sure the numbers of D3 players are falling away.
Some are going back to D2 as we await D2R. (Hopefully, core game is not changed!)
Other are firmly in PoE and staying there.
PoE 2 expansion is coming out and people are fired up!
So donât be upset if pub games have less and less players available.
I sure hope so, I wonder which one will launch first D:I or D2R, D4 will be last.

My guess here too.
Probably D2R is more artwork than anything else.
D4 is slated to be that masterpiece to make us forget about D3.
Who knows? 
I wonder if the patches for D3 are just to hold many of us over until the other instalments are released. At that time D3 might just go into maintenance mode. When all of the other games have dedicated forums (not subsections of D3) this forum might turn into a ghost town. I know that some of the people on this forum do not or hardly ever play D3 they just like to hang around. The D2R âforumâ is basically a battle ground between the we want this vs the we want that factions. I am really looking forward to S23, it is not the worst patch ever.
First of all stream of consciousness writing works only when youâre William Faulkner or James Joyce and youâve been accredited as a gifted or talented author despite having no formal education and barely being literate with much less than a 4th grade (elementary) Harlequin-style knowledge of words and their sentence structure compositions such that verbs tend to follow nouns with a predicated apotheosis which ends in a dangling participle lacking punctuation and timely depictions of descriptions in ways beyond mere language to form a stylistic approach becoming the voice of its creator so as to be instantly recognizable by erudite scholars posthaste and perforce antithetically contemplating potential possibility in a passable alliterative analogy of metaphorical TLDR.
But, no, not the worst patch ever.

I was playing on the EU server last night, wasnât having any issues at all actually. Smooth, fast, ~140ms lat, not bad for there.
The OP is describing what sounds like a latency issue or internet problem. Especially with all the âdelaysâ. May be something with their internet, usage, or their ISP.
No, its not. But that was a long sentence. LOL

Iâm guessing Diablo Immortal will release first.
OP, did you try troubleshooting connectivity from your home connection to Blizzardâs servers to check for dropping packets or latency issues etc?
i actually thinks D2R comes first, makes more sense aswell
Funny, I thought worst patch ever was Jay Wilsonâs real money auction house.
Dude, itâs your pc. apart from throwing money at hardware, you actually have to know how to manage it. I know I know, you didnât notice this while playing Among Us, donât worry, Iâll help ya:
Try installing drivers for your video card, youâll thank me later.

No TL;DR, so I didnât read your post. It is something like âMom! Maaaaaah!!!111 Somebody did something I didnât want with the game!!11â anyway.
As for the technical part and crashes. Youâre using Windows 10, arenât you? Well, that is it. Latest Win10 updates destroyed Win10 for all the users. Complaints, bugs, etc are all over the internet.
Anyhow, TL;DR, not Blizzards problem. My D3 works just fine.
You think they are NOT in âmaintenance modeâ RIGHT NOW? ? ? ? that tells me about you.
