First of all, I’d like to say I played D1, D2 and D3! I love Diablo games, except that one we shall not name. ARPGS are one of my favorite genres.
So far, the stoy is way better told than D3, the atmosphere is not as good as D2. Still, it is a plus, compraed to D3, where the Azmodan kept calling you using his hellish holograms to tell why it did not matter that you ruined his plans (it was very childish). The gameplay feels nice for the most part, but not without some issues:

-Skill feel nice, yet combat feels slow. People are saying that it is because we don’t have enough skill points yet. But at level 25 in D3, combat was WAY more fluid and fast paced. Sugegstion: increase moviment speed overall, a bit more attack speed overall, lower cooldowns and resouce generation overall (or reduce resource cost). You can improve monsters to balance. It’s about feeling the character and combat more fluid, not necessarily killing the monsters faster.

-There are several monster combat mechanics that “punishes” you for being a melee character (like teleporting when you get close to them, or doing area damage just around them and not anywhere else, being invencible while their fair away summons are alive - then you kill them without having time to get close to the now vunerable monster before he summons new allies).
Same suggestions as above, having ways to getting to them faster, would solve some of this problems. Having a received damage reduction to melee characters as in D3 also would help.

-Dungeons are all “the same”, you clear two rooms with " door key" or elite monsters and unlock the final generic room. Feels kinda cheap.
Suggestion: Have more varied style of dungeons.

-Monster scaling feels kinda off. Unlessyou get better items as you level, it feels like you are acctually getting weaker as you level up. Maybe it is solved at lv 50, since you are capped but continue to get power because of better items and the paragon system…

Overall I enjoyed playing, but you can’t compare the combat to other ARPGS, Lost Ark for exemple have a way more fluid combat. Would be very nice to see D4 evolve that way. I don’t think they will change that much in this stage of development, but still hope they will.
PS: will play either way. Liked the game.

Yeah I think you nailed it. It’s not that combat needs to be faster, it just needs to be more fluid, more impactful. Right now it’s just sort of a slog through mud.

Totally with you on the super boring dungeon designs as well, where you have to get two X in order to proceed. I’d honestly prefer another long hallway to that.

I hope they listen to this. I already like the game, but it can be better.

Good suggestions, I definitely agree on the varied dungeons.

It is good that some people enjoyed the game; but there are many more of us who never really got the opportunity to enjoy the game due to bugs that proliferate within the game.
Hoping that Blizzard diverts resources to fixing the bugs that make the game unplayable, otherwise I will have no choice but to request a refund for a game I cannot play due only to bugs in the software.

Great game , I like what Blizz done , I had 7K hours in D3 , D4 is looking awesome, I like the drop rate , I think gameplay is more important then farming all day long for piece of unique item, more new worlds, more diffculties more challanges is much better then just farming like D2.
I Love the game concept the witcher III platform combined with Diablo legacy a winning game!.

I started with the Barb , love the none stop action, I would like to have more stuff the break at the envirements.enemies and quest are good, maybe adding quests which make the player chooses his way to finish the quest at the moment it is just automatic.

more zoom options, the charchter is too close.

Cost rates upgradting is little too high.

My 2 cents at the moment.

Did you feel the combat is slower than D3 at the same level? I still can’t quite pinpoint what it is. As I said, maybe increasing moviment speed, attack speed, lowering cooldowns and lowering resource cost, maybe will help make it feel more fluid, but I’m still unsure.

Kyneal I think it is Ok the gear should improve the game speed, I think if the make it too easy it will be boring. At the moment it feel fine when game evolve it should be much faster with better gear.
