[D4] Patchnotes 1.3.0 Build #48780 (All Platforms) - January 24, 2024
We will continually update this article with all patches the development team implements for Diablo IV.
Are you planing to play this season and are you coming back, are you still playing or will you skip it?
I completed season 1 and season 2, I think I'm going to sit this one out. The magic just isn't there in D4.
I played it through once. I just can’t get into it. I think you’re right about the magic not being there.
I've uninstalled it 2 weeks into season 2 after finishing it. Maybe it will be worth for a few weeks too. Haven't read the notes yet.
This season's pet mechanic looks nice. I didn't like vampire powers.
WASD movemnrt is a plus. I hate click to move, I always end up moving when I mean to attack or vice versa.
Fundamentally, I think the game is too streamlined. PoE is too much. D4 is too little. Honestly, one more button would be nice. Idk. Maybe a few more mechanics go core and I'll be interested.
Reading the patchnotes it feels like Barb getting nerfed again/further and nothing really changes or have i missed something?
It's not even that Diablo 4 is necessarily a bad game, but perhaps this game style is simply past its prime. Certain genres work at certain times and then the cultural zeitgeist changes and they begin feeling like relics.
I certainly feel like that about Diablo 4. Can't name one thing it does particularly poorly, but I don't get the same enjoyment out of it as I did with the other three.
Being disappointed in D4 got me back into Path of Exile. That shit is still good, and the current season is the most fun I've had playing an ARPG in years. ARPG's are still in a good place, Blizzard just shit the bed and expect a pass for it.
Diablo is bad. You can see it in every Dev Chat when they say "we tried something, everyone hated it, we'll fix it over the next year. In the meantime use your ring slots for all the defenses and resistances we couldn't figure out before selling you the game.".
Diablo 4 is bland and stale, not the genre. Look at all the D4 youtubers streaming PoE over the last 2 months and increasing their viewership.
I've played every league since the Atlas redo. Being able to just block any and all content you want, force specific maps you like to drop or just plain currency farming alch n go style is just so good.
