The season 9 PTR is unplayable. From the lag to rubber banding to crashes its just absolute trash. Then I take my very powerful season 8 Sorc there and suddenly I am having problems killing 3 Elites. So obviously Blizzard is NOT listening to the players and keeping the game causal but rather make it unplayable to the vast majority of the base who will never get to top tier gameplay. Diablo 4 is a dead game anymore and not worth any time anyone other than these hard core gamers and grinders play. Casual gamers like me the majority of people that play D4 will go find a way better game.

cant be any of the other Arpgs if you are looking for “easy”. D4 can receive big nerfes for a couple more seasons in a row and still is the easiest arpg.

Op, season 9 will be an adjustment for everyone.
I had to change so much in T4 to get to survivable…but damage paradigm has shifted.
I get it is harder for eternal players as they generally don’t want the dynamic changes…but there isn’t much anyone can do about it.

It’s not about them listening to the players, they have no interest in what players want.
There is a sweet spot for them, where enough players are spending enough money to maximize profits.
The weirdest part is that there are still a handful of players that just can’t see it for what it is.
These poor confused souls actually think that Blizzard is trying to improve the game. And somehow, hobbling the cadence of the game has achieved that?
“It’s better now because it’s not so fast.” But bro, it’s the exact same game but instead of hitting once I have to hit 5 times. How’s that better?
Everybody is entitled to an opinion but those same 7 guys who keep regurgitating the same nonsensical trash opinions on the forums… well maybe they should just shhhh for a bit.

well some players have been asking for more grind, and more difficulty. So isnt it natural that the game feels improved for them?
well, i guess ill just think the same about you then. Go Shhh for a bit.

Agreed and well said-
Those players that want more ahem “difficulty/grinding” can’t go grind for 3-4 GA uniques?
I’ve played the hell out of LE. I don’t say “ooooh! LP1???Fiiiiinnnnished”!!!
Those people want everybody miserably grinding for a unique everybody that has played long enough has gotten before hundreds of times over and knows exactly what it does.
Adding new items that do different things to a loot based game is probably asking too much though.Totally against what the game is about.
Tedium is just tedium. I could start the season now and still complete it and never think to myself “wow they really turned the difficulty up a notch”. Just “yep, it all takes longer now just because”.

But isn’t that what the PTR is for? To look for possible causes of instability?
Pretty much everything related to abilities, talents, and items is already set in stone and unlikely to change.
I don’t join a PTR looking for stability to play.

I would say thats objectively not true since nearly all changes since the game released have been due to players.

Nobody takes you seriously buddy. You’re just a constant on the forums.
Say anything at all and that one dude with over 16k posts is likely to show up and drip his dumb opinions everywhere.
And we all know that you always have something to say. And you always have to get the last say right? Go on then. Get the last say you unrelenting troll.

Well its pretty obvious to who some people keep refering to. Its always the same people that claim theyd want " a good game", when infact, all they want is a fast, and easy game, to then again complain about nothing means anything in d4.
they live in a constant circle of complaints. Gow, how many of them keep falsely parroting that “only S tier builds can do t4”. just lol.

I’m pretty sure it’s like a monkey’s paw wish.
Blizzard listens and makes it come true, but with a twist that annoys half the player base.
I’m relatively new to the Diablo 4 community in general, but I have over 10 years of experience with WoW.

actually kinda like that picture haha 
Hear the performance pain points.
What’s the setup you’re finding not working? Build, gearing, paragon for example, tier, fighting where?
Can the build be adjusted?
You can’t be serious. What about an Auction House? Map overlay? Loot filter? Masterworking/tempering updates? Endgame improvements? Etc etc.
But they reworked the battlepass system to make more money and claimed that it was highly requested.

So because they havent done everything people list that means they havent done anything at all? Some of the logic around here is astonishing

They adressed that, and said they wont put it in the game.
Just because something is being asked for, it doesnt have to be included. This isnt a build your Arpg Toolkit you purchased. If those are pain points for you while playing diablo 4, you have two options: keep playing that these things likely are never being a part of d4, or move on.
Some people are fine with tempering and masterworking, except for tiny adjustments. So they are listening to those peoples feedback i guess. Sorry that this doesnt seem to be your feedback.
