Diablo® IV

Single player campaign is engaging, but end game is a complete mess. Whoever the decision makers are for D4 clearly do not play their own game. If you're a fan of the franchise and have expendable income, the campaign is worth playing through one time, but cannot recommend this as a live service seasonal game. TLDR issues: - non-existent build diversity - unrewarding end game that boils down to farming lotto tickets to try to get a good item using horadric cube - poor itemization across the board - comically imbalanced ranked mode - zero concern for integrity of the game (exploit abuse is completely ignored) --- Build "diversity" is nonexistent. The in-game character sheet / skill tooltips are fairly useless sources of information for predicting your character/gear's damage output. If you want to really push end game ranked ladder, you will have to make yourself a spreadsheet to properly calculate your damage. Unfortunately, once you do this and are able to easily compute DPS numbers for various builds/gear combinations, it becomes obvious that all classes have at-most 2 skills that will scale to give the damage output required for high tier/pit levels. It also becomes obvious that 99.99% of loot is useless -- literally the "optimal" strategy from a time and materials perspective for maximizing your damage output (which is all that matters in D4 because skill cap is non-existent) is to stick all items in the horadric cube to gamble on a transfiguration without caring for greater affixes and without wasting any crafting materials on it. If you don't get a "modifiable" transfiguration that boosts damage (including on any defensive pieces), then salvage and try again. End game activities are another mess: - Undercity is only worth running for runes or if you have a mythic item tribute. All other keys are best used as salvage to craft escalation dungeon keys. - Infernal hordes is a complete waste of time. - Helltide is worth spamming this particular season (S14), but only so you can farm lair keys to spam the same boss (reaper) to gamble on getting a decent version of the mythic uniques you're chasing. - Nightmare Dungeons are only worth doing as escalation dungeons, and even then only worth it if you get the right dungeon affixes (materials reseve, gem reserves). Ranked tower ladder is a joke, it boils down to "did you get multiple transfigurations on your gear?" and "did your tower run span champion packs with good monster affixes?". RNG during tower runs can provide a 2-3 minute swing in your completion time, so pushing tower devolves to fishing for a decent run in between spam farming materials to gamble on transfigs. On that note, Blizzard does not at all care about punishing players abusing exploits nor about hotfixing them, further making any type of ranked mode a joke.

Far cry from D2, even D3 is better than this. it's just a pointless game, the grind id boring, the game play is repetitive. I'd rather play D3 than this.

暴雪你老冯飞升到太空了是吧，这个赛季装备爆率改成一坨， 15号补丁端上来最基本的问题依旧没改，制作的神话只能穿一件要那么多电火花有JB用，刷了400多把钥匙给爆一堆用不上的垃圾，你这公司属牲口的听不懂玩家的意见是吗？玩你这B游戏都浪费老子的电费！

刚开始还有点惊喜，越玩越感觉像页游，跑到哪哪刷多少个怪回来交任务，我在玩魔兽世界？

The game itself is quite cool and I enjoyed playing it. Althoug I would not recommend it due to audacity of Blizzard. It is not worth the money, considering the poorest support I have ever witnessed. That ♥♥♥♥ is bugged as hell. Every bug I encountered was already known, people were posting on their forum for MONTHS. Without any response or acknowledgment. This is just ridicoulous. Blizzard is amalgamation of everything that is wrong with AAA studios. Money hungry, they don't care about gamers.

This season has been horrible for crashes and disconnects after you open a boss chest. I am fed up and changing games.
