How do you make the game WORSE with this patch?

Genuinely thought it was a bug that I was being CCd during Grizzly Rage on my Druid, so had to go check the patch notes again on the website since the blizz launcher version doesn’t actually show you the class changes, and they really lowered the unstoppable duration down to 6 seconds? My character already feels like wet paper with the defensive aspect nerfs, but this just kills it entirely.

At this point I hope the game loses the entire playerbase, they cancel the expansions and sell the license to developers who give a damn.

they add extra yellow items in NM how can be excited?!

1 NM run I just did → full inventory of useless (and extra also useless affices) I have to clear → NO loot filter, NO search, NO inventory space

I tell you game is dead with this patch. It is in totaly wrong direction.

And defence is even less. On my rogue it was hard enough now is just stupid deaths and still CCed like crazy.

They must have completely lost it. I’ll NEVER keep playing this cra*, literally ripped of all, that made fun (got my rogue to Lvl. 73 through hard work and pushing my values in CSC, CSD, CC, Vulnerable, Armor, aso.).

Thank you Blizzard, for burying one of my favourite franchises and kicking all the fans into the bollocks.

If they don’t fix this, this will be the last game, I’ve invested into Blizz!

or did they just add a load of value to the unstoppable boots aspect ?

I kind of discouraged to play S1 now at all. I`ll nerf my playtime and spending in blizz shop to the ground.

Only thing you can do is decide with your wallet… Good for you, if you stick to that sentiment.

I’ve been playing games for about 45 years.

And this is probably the lamest thing I’ve ever seen.

I’m discouraged to play S1 now too, Wish I’d ordered a hard copy of the game now so I could trade it in and sell it.

I’m gonna ask them for refund. Hopefully I get it … I don’t care abotu the cash, but this is joke what they do to a supposedly released game?!

65% reductions and stuff like that is insane.

They might did all of this for this reason.

They already have the money from Season 1 battle passes. So they nerf everything to the ground, to buff all on season 2 so that persons come back and pay for it again.

The messed up part is I bet the developers don’t even read this shit. This obviously isn’t what the playerbase wants - stop trying to shift the goalposts and stick with tried and tested true Diablo… Jesus - this game has not been worth the price-tag… They need to hire a sole person who takes the recommendations of the player-base, sticks it in an algorithm that averages it out - and actually work on what the main playerbase wants. Blizzard, you no longer even know what Diablo is - you’re not the same company I grew up with, you need to clean house and get some new people in because this is a sinking ship - it’s like you made enough money with WoW to no longer give a shit, and just enjoy trolling your community with games like overwatch 2, diablo immortal and diablo 4. Get a grip…

Slicing the power and exp in half in the game doesn’t mean that season 1 has content, it means you’re so bad at providing content you’re forcing people to work twice as hard to level up. Wankers.

This game has always felt like it was built to be fully of micro transactions and had them ripped out. This patch just makes things feel so much worse! My build is completely ruined and I’m only level 66! despite putting 40-50 hours in.

I feel as though this patch was pre-planned and designed to encourage the battle-pass to reward progression rather than actual levling which is what the game should be about…

I used to buy every Blizzard game religiously, this will be the last. God help them when BG3 goes live in 2 weeks, this game will be dead.

Bonespear Necro with OVER 21K attackpower Unbuffed used to do 3 MILLION damage before the “Nerfdate” now i havs same Attackpower but do 200k - 300k.

If you play magic princess or flowerpuppy with a skirt you do Gazzillionubermilliontrillion damage with 1 attackpower.

Blizzard… You let the same CRAP gear drop in lvl 100 NMD as drops in lvl 31 NMD
You let one class do trillions of damage with 5k attackpower and Necro has 4 or 5 times more power yet do less damage.

ATTACKPOWER should mean you do more damage period, Not Oh i slapped a stick and licked a mushroom so now for 3 seconds i am GOD but in 4 seconds i am a pancake.

Nobody wants 7 different stats that all have to be in line while the moon is up and the wind is still to do damage, NONE of the parameters make any sence and whatever drunk developer you have working at Blizzard that fixes every problem with “The Nerf Stick” needs to get Nerfed out of their job.

Hack & Slash Game… not the Stockmarkets at wallstreet, We dont want to spend 2 months building a character for you to come change everything into a bag of dogturds.
Most of the playerbase arent even lvl 100 yet.

Yep, I can confirm.
I don’t have much time to play, so I have a sorc, lvl 68…only. I feel disappointed.
It is still weird to read that it is (was?) possible to do 1 million damage, while my crit dmg is about 15-20k :smile:
I really cant see how my char could be upgraded at the level. Also, I am using the same equipment (almost all of them) since lvl 40 or something because I had luck with some of them. And about the “build changing uniques”…I couldn’t really find any useful one so far. Even blacksmithing the uniques sometimes feels useless :cry:
Anyway, I will try to enjoy it as much as possible, but I dont know how far I can go with that :confused:

- Hey guys, can we fix the bug of the missing altar at the end of the Nightmare Dungeons?
- No, but we can nerf everything.
- OK, let’s do it.

I was barely getting used to the secret nerfs from the kast patch that they didn’t add to the notes, like all mobs resisting being cc’d a second time and half being able to shake off the effect…

And now they remove the little damage and survivability that sorcs could actually build towards.

What’s the point in continuing. Its clear the devs arent players and don’t care for their product
