Diablo 4 Nerfs Popular Farming Spot, Causing Player Discontent

Recent developments in Blizzard's Diablo 4 have provoked an outcry among the player base due to a series of experience nerfs in the game's dungeons. In particular, the spawn rate for Elites in many popular dungeons has been significantly reduced, leading to frustration and discontent among players​​.

I wonder why the devs keep doing this?

Christopher742d ago

They want players to take more time to obtain less.

Honestly the whole cookie cutter design concept has been heightened from 3 and now a major focus on specific gear until blizzard nerfs something again.

It doesn't feel like blizzard is focused on gamers having fun but just making it harder and take longer to accomplish content.

just_looken742d ago

expect the store to have xp boost tickets and or pay for the level crap soon no doubt.

Christopher742d ago (Edited 742d ago )

You will be able to pay your way through battle passes. No need for tickets. They want people to feel like it's too much work to play the game and instead just pay for the battle pass content.

@chris

True but what i am talking is the ubisoft approach to leveling up.

LordoftheCritics742d ago

The game is failing hard and fast.

The truth is in the forums.

The early reviews praised it too hard too fast.

PhillyDillyDee742d ago

Yeah im thinking it will slowly evolve into diablo immortal. Watch itll be f2p in under 3 years

Magog742d ago

If you don't want a slow painful grind why buy Diablo? That's all it is.

Christopher742d ago

It was actually much faster in D3. This is a huge reduction. They're going the heavy-handed Destiny route.

Metal4ever742d ago

haha garbage game glad i didnt waste my money on it, got so many better games coming out

BLow741d ago

How can it be garbage if you haven't played it? This is an RPG and I expect to grind in it. I bought it last Wednesday and I'm halfway through Lvl 50. Not too bad for me. I need to log off. Happy gaming....

Duke19742d ago

People who just farm the same exp exploits to max out their chars asap throw off the balancing in any online game. Im glad they nerfed a farming spot, even if its just to get to watch these people freak the fuck out.

I missed only 6 months of the first year of PS+ and have claimed everything since then. What a huge backlog that I & all the other longtime subscribers have!

FPSRUSSIA11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

same here Otter they give us 3 Games every month i have been a PS Plus for a long time thats alot of games to play Also i have you on PSN Otter but wont say who i am LOL.

OtterX11h ago

Lol, I have a number of N4G'ers on my PSN friends list. Goes back to when we used to have an N4G group in the PS4's Communities platform. I bet you added me then. Man, I miss those!

shinXseijuro11h ago

Sure is good to an extent but I’m kinda salty with the constant price hikes without the extra content to warrant the hike. Diablo been on game pass day 1 for ages sure it’s a Microsoft game but see that’s where one is better than the other . I’ll take king of fighter for sure tho love that game . Thinking of getting the New city of the wolves

Terry_B9h ago

Aye..subscriber since 2013.

Around 400 ps4-ps5 games + another 50 on the ps3.

ravens528h ago

Ye, im the same. Got a good amount on ps3/vita and everything since ps4 to now.

OptimusDK3h ago

As long as you subscribe if not it’s gone

raWfodog9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I only have 378 of the over 500 'free' games that were offered. I started my PS+ subscription in 2013 when it became mandatory for multiplayer access. I also claimed every 'free' game even if I didn't have an interest in it at that time. I figured I might as well since Sony was paywalling me now LOL.

A solid roster of games this month. I'll be claiming these as well and adding them to my monster backlog.

Okay, I'm really happy with July's offerings.

ebotj11h ago

Already got the platinum for Jusant. Loved it!

OtterX11h ago

Good to hear! It wasn't on my radar, but now I'm curious to check it out.

OtterX9h ago

I had a strange hunch that you'd be a fan. ;)

Terry_B9h ago

Wubba, wubba. I'm in the pink today, boy!

KOF XV, even without any dlc still offers a lof of content for everyone that does not care about a good story in a fighting game at least.

Have it already with all dlc of course but its good to see new players thanks to ps+ that can get a beatdown by my Geese ^^

Diablo 4’s Reliquary battle pass is scummy, players are accidentally giving money due to miss-clicks

The new Diablo 4 Reliquary battle pass system is so scummy that players are sending Blizzard more money due to accidental miss-clicks.

Switching the screens and buttons? Nah. Some person wanted to look good to someone higher up. Demonstrating how many people buy the content will demonstrate it. Even if they have to reverse it later. Totally scummy.

It’s like a car dealership selling extended warranty in a scummy way. Even if they have to refund them later, it will technically show somewhere that they sold it and make them look good for something.

OtterX5d ago

I can't believe this game came out 2 years ago already. I uninstalled it 1 year & 10 months ago.

CrimsonWing695d ago

I really enjoyed Diablo 4, but the cost of skins and various content are absurd and kind of insulting. I think like outfits were $20, I heard the Berserk stuff is ways more expensive. It’s just nuts that this is the direction they want to go in. I feel like you’d do better n sales making these like $1-$5, but what do I know?

anast5d ago

It's Immortal: Dark. They ruined this awesome franchise.

DustMan5d ago

Diablo 4 is basically a well produced mobile game. I dropped it after the first battlepass and never played again. Lost Epoch scratches the Arpg itch just as well.
