Hey Guys,
I just wanted to post my review for the Diablo 4 beta. I have played over 100 hours in the last 2 weekends, and gotten almost every class to level 25. I think the game is going in the right direction overall and am looking forward to playing it on release. With that said, lets break down my thoughts on it below and ill also post a link to the video I made for more detail. Thanks for all your hard work and I hope you take this info into consideration Blizzard.
Pros:
⦁ Character Customization
⦁ Voice Acting
⦁ Cinematics
⦁ Sounds/Music
⦁ Story
⦁ Side Quests are good
⦁ Dark Feel/Environment
⦁ Open World with several choices in what order you do things
⦁ Combat feels clean
⦁ I personally like the scaling world (prevents Power Leveling, allows you to be able to
play with friends even when they are lower/higher level)
⦁ Current Skills feel good
⦁ Cross Play
⦁ Overall Promising Game
Cons (needs to be added):
⦁ Stash/Player portals are not in all towns
⦁ No Movement Key Slot/Customization
⦁ No Transparent Map Overlay (like all Diablo games have)
⦁ Can only track one quest
⦁ UI is not the best it could be (Need better map/tracking options and Items should
be easily readable inside inventory while hovering over them with cursor)
⦁ Some classes early on feel weaker compared to other classes (Barb/Druid)
⦁ No “Grace Period” when zoning in/out of areas (For HC)
⦁ Wide Screen Broken (Sorc has huge advantage)
Suggestions:
⦁ Party size increase (6-8 players)
⦁ Randomized dungeon layouts. More boss variety, no backtracking
⦁ More diversity in Events
⦁ Gems having their own inventory tab
⦁ Items standardized as far as where stats go
⦁ Item Filters
⦁ More skills on Skill Tree (not counting Paragon)
⦁ DPS Meter
⦁ Health Bars/Resource Bars over character
⦁ Arena PvP

Thanks again and any feedback is always a plus =)
