Players, currently review bombing Diablo 4 into oblivion on Metacritc, are furious about the amount of nerfs that hit the game across the board.

    nah the patch notes were pretty similar to PoE patch notes. identify mechanical issues with the game and attempt to solve them with numerical nerfs. dont add anything new or fun, dont increase build variety, dont actually solve any of the identified issues, just make everyone’s gameplay feel worse

    the only difference is that PoE is actually a good and fully developed game, D4 is not

    These ‘articles’ that just end up being reading and writing about other peoples reddit and Twitter posts are so garbage.

    Who do they quote in the article? “U/pm_me_your_shaved_balls”?

    Oh he quoted datmodz and asmongold. So this ‘journalist’ just watched some YouTube videos and then made news out of it instead of just reading reddit posts like everyone else.

    And then he cited another Forbes article to help bolster the article.

    How did we get to become such a joke?

    Unpopular opinion, but I think the nerfing is good. I just finished the campaign and it was a little too easy, never really a challenge except some bosses that I just need to run around until I have enough essence, hit them and repeat… I just walk around sanctuary and destroy all mobs with one or two blood surges and then keep going.

    To be fair, if it was harder, then I’d have given up on the campaign because it’s so long

        Are you playing eternal?

        I can see that without malignant hearts on the eternal realm, and the seasonal journey buffs that the nerfs might hit the eternal realm a little harder, but I can’t see why anyone would be playing eternal instead of season 1.

        In d3 I never touched eternal characters after seasons started

        I think the issue might be that the devs brought seasons out too soon. I wonder if they waited a year or 6 months, when more people where done with their first characters and ready to make a new one, it wouldn’t feel so bad.

        If you’re level 69, this must be an eternal character. Try abandoning that character and refilling and see how the game feels.

        I was getting malignant hearts right from the beginning of the game when following the new seasonal quest line
