So Diablo got 9/10 and people leaving in droves after a week?

you can just hold the button down and it’ll keep attacking, sounds like a you problem

Yes, this game is really crap. D III was fun. D IV is nothing but frustration and work. They boys at blizzard achieved a major fail

Its a lot to name. Generally speaking its all the same performance issues most everyone else is facing. Blizz is surely aware by now and hopefully working on it. Just absolutely shameful to have the level of issues we have with how much free QA they got from us with the beta.

Well, i hope they fix them for you

What ever mr w knight, as if you don’t have to move and you can just stand there holding your movement button, and he will just start swinging, and keep position just like I’d like. Um no, you actually have to click. This game does not have “attack with out moving” unlike the superior button system of PoE who actually considers this and doesn’t screw the player.

Ben (arguably the best player in the world) was just saying this yesterday that not having attack without moving is a major strike against D IV.

The only comment that matters was skipped over completely. Lets see the data.

uninformed much

so Diablo’s own twitter showed us some very telling stats last week

having sold 8 million+ copies now, there are only less than 1700 people who made it to level 100 in softcore and less than 170 who made it to level 100 in hardcore.

Most have given up on the game

Sounds like you haven’t looked through the options, you can have a movement and interact key just like poe

poe is the only arpg with attack without moving on each ability.

I’ve played every day since launch and I’m not 100, only people who are 100 are people who grinded specifically to 100 which isn’t the point of the game.

Success is based off initial & pre-order sales, not so much the longevity of a thing anymore.

While Season 28 was the best Season of Diablo 3, 10/10, lets not forget that Diablo 3 was crap for 2-3years after launch. Until it got some final shape and form, adventure mode, rifts, seasons.

This is the most infuriating thing, that they released Diablo 4 in the same shallow, alpha state of a game as they did with Diablo 3. Story is nothing in Diablo 3, no one plays the game 10 years for the story. This is why in this type of genres Story should not even be accounted for. Pay 80 euro for a 3 days playtrhough, this I will never do in my life.

But the ideea that Diablo 2 kept me playing for 10 years, then Diablo 3 for another 10years … made me think that Blizzard couldn’t be that stupid to not learn from its OWN past, its own mistakes. But … I was wrong.

So you are basing retention on how many 100s are in a game that has 99.9% casual players in under 2 weeks of release?

Ok.

D4 is leaps and bounds above D3 at launch, that game was a mess.

How can you know they’re “leaving in droves”? They don’t count them and tell you.

You just see a lot of people crying how they hate it and quit.

And that’s maybe, at best, about 20 people that were annoyed enough to write about it first.

You don’t realize the game is built so you don’t really see that many other people right?

Personally I have never gone into town and not seen others walking around though

facts over feelings, I know it’s a tough thing to grasp but it’s how things work in real life

It’s not a fact. Now I’m not saying it isn’t losing players but just like ALL other Diablo games most players don’t grind to max level.

They just simply don’t care enough to do so.

your facts don’t mean anything, the avg person it’s like 100-150 hrs to hit 100, most people haven’t even played that much in the last 2 weeks (like 1.5 if you didn’t play EA)

TBF d3 you had to be max level, but only D3

D3 is one of the only aprgs i can think of that end game is actually locked behind max level

I don’t think it’s 90% but for sure a lot of people quit.
I can tell that because I went from having half of my friend-list on battle.net playing Diablo IV in the first week (around 15-20 people) to now where I have 2-3 player online on Diablo IV.

A lot of them quit before even reaching level 60, I have a friend coming from PoE (over 5k hours on it) whining about how grindy the game feels, I’ll repeat, he comes from PoE and thinks diablo is too much grindy.
