Patch notes - All the changes we haven't asked for

Its insane to me the nerfs to everything. Like nerfs to Vuln sure. It was really OP so decreasing it made sense but nerfing that along with every other dmg modifier and CDR is such a cumulative effect it makes doing dungeons that could be done yesterday feel like cancer now. Got on this morning for the first time since the patch and honestly it felt so bad I dont even want to play. Speaking for myself why nerf CDR? like why nerf something that allows you to hit your buttons. Its not like we have a lot of options with a 6 button hotbar

They saw players play the game for quite some time now. People wanted changes that would make the game more enjoyable and to push the tiers. This patch pushed back and reduced the output on the damages on all classes and halted the push in the tiers.

My biggest peeve is the changes on co-op and not be able to help friends level up alts. It is hard as it is with one char, especially if you aren’t a streamer and you actually have to go to the office to work or go to school or tend to your family. And so we all make alts to try new things with different classes. If they wanted it so badly to be a single player game. Get the entire game to be offline play and allow modding. Let people enjoy the game one way or another.

Anyway, I know a good chunk of folks will collect their season 1 things and leave. Thank you Devs for killing the game.

this is the WORST Patch in History of Gaming, what a mess. we got nothing what we wanted or asked for, this patch was a reminder to us : how you dare to tell them they have to change the game in a better way for players, we got that answer clearly from Blizz

Looking at your posts on here, the way you speak to people is heinous and below disgusting.

You truly are THE worst type of cancerous toxic user on these forums.

SHUT UP LOL GO GRIND [quote=“JacobD-11676, post:733, topic:87517, full:true”]
FIX THE ECONOMY Bliz! $$$$$$$$ just to reroll ONE stat? A good patch would be to half every price for retooling builds and provide more resources for completing quests. 25 minute job for just 2 veiled crystals? LMAO

Vuln isn’t any more or less op than it’s been since beta. How did they not realize how important it was until right now? Are they really that clueless about their own game?

THIS IS JUST ONE PATCH Y’ALL.
PEOPLE BE ACTING LIKE THIS IS THE LAST PATCH OF THE GAME. LOLOL
PRETTY INTERESTING TO SEE HOW PEOPLE ARE REACTING TO THIS PATCH.

We literally got all we haven’t asked for and nothing we did.

We’re weaker, getting less xp & loot, not a single QoL.

Convince me I’m wrong.

This version of the patch is so bugged.

Dungeons are buggy. Example: I get killed in 1 shot when I didn’t use to on T40 and being a level 84 Necro.

Can’t click on chests, they appear but they aren’t clickable.

One dungeon it said to collect all the essence or something and I did that but it shows 75% complete. I went with my party everywhere to see where else it could be. But it was completely clear.

I don’t usually post at all but I am coming out of silence because I am really dissatisfied with the latest update. Think I can get my money back? lol

This patch saved me 10 bucks and a lot of time, thank you Blizzard!

Playing since first minutes of pre-release. For a very long time had a feeling that game been released a bit undone. Now it just feels broken.

How about re-introducing the separate Beta version of Diablo IV so players can test new big patches for a week or two and give feedback before releasing it to the live servers?

This worked for Diablo II, Diablo III and also for Diablo IV before release.

So the idea is for big patches:

  • 1-2 weeks Beta for the new patch where players can give feedback and developers can tweak and fix based on the feedback
  • 1 week polish if it’s ok, if it’s not then repeat step 1

This will give developers and Q&A the time they need to deliver the quality the game deserves. This will also give the Dev team more time to add cool new features.
The players that need a new challenge can play the Beta and help the Dev team.
The players that are still having fun with the current version of the game can still play on the live servers.

I hope Bliz shares tanks with the reducing player count, bad reviews and dissatisfied players(and share owners). This is the only thing that could force you to listen to your player base.

Most Game Devs of other games make harder content to cater to the players, even a simple fix of adding a much higher % drop for uber uniques on higher NM tiers to drop would drive players to keep playing and challenging the difficulty, yet you are nerfing all classes just to extend the longevity of your current content. Downright lazy and a good way to piss off most players.

Would have been great if the Cow Level would be accessible in Season 1…

Moo, moo moo moo :cow2: :cow:

A patch like this really only works if there is a subsequent patch soon thereafter that buffs/fixes just as much stuff. Gotta tear down before you can build up and all that. They just need to deliver on the follow-up.

Not saying I’m a fan of that approach, nor am I defending Blizzard here, but I choose to remain optimistic, at least for now.

yeah nerfed HoTa into the ground becasue WW was unplayable meanwhile poison imbue rogues and storm/shred druids were killing Echoe Lilith in 10 seconds…annnnd rogues dont even get touched??? xD Blizzard is so out of touch it’s unreal. I finally found a spec that felt fun to play and while somewhat fury starved at least the cd reduction made it manageable…now the class just feels awful and thanks for ruining Helltides…took 45 min to farm the 250 cinders just to get TWO leggos from the mystery box…lmao legit waste of time, well was fun while it lasted I guess. Back to WoW.

Stop yelling and staff this logic down deep there.

If you are happy to get your time wasted now, enjoy. You are the stu…loud minority.

too late bro, they already killed it

This is AWFUL.

Slower Leveling? Check!
Weaker Characters? Check!
Lower Defenses? Check!
QoL Changes? NOOOOPE!

I do not understand the point of these changes. I logged in this morning and was drastically weaker than I was when I logged off before the patch. You actually feel substantially weaker than you did. Until these changes are undone, peace out Blizzard, guess you just want to slow down the grind for everyone. Well done team! Mission accomplished! Slowed down so much won’t be grinding at all lol. Thank GOD BG3 and Starfield are right around the corner! Is there anyone out there who feels like these changes are a net-positive?

The one shot isn’t because the game is more buggy, it’s because they nerfed survivability into the ground to make the game harder. I got 1 shot, twice, in a normal World Tier 4 dungeon this morning, after easily running NM30 dungeons at level 75. I feel like the old blizzard is back.
