Im a Diablo 4 addict, and I love the franchise with every fiber of my being.

And dont get me wrong, I still am.

Prava, a character in Diablo 4

The announcement for Season 1 and simultaneous patch was met with uproar from the fanbase, but it was almost worth it for the memes.

What has changed since the games launch that has made me lose interest and motivation?

And more importantly, what can be done to fix it?

Season 1: Too much, too soon?

Lilith in Diablo 4

The announcement for Season 1 and simultaneous patch was met with uproar from the fanbase, but it was almost worth it for the memes.

Well… after a few days of playing, I just wasnt feeling it.

And it didnt need to.

Probably not helped by the across-the-board nerfs that were made to certain damage types in thecontroversial Patch 1.1.

Diablo 4

The announcement for Season 1 and simultaneous patch was met with uproar from the fanbase, but it was almost worth it for the memes.

Also, Season 1 just didnt feel like a true season Ive come to expect from Diablo.

One of the main attractions is having a leaderboard and seeing what the top builds are on that board.

What items are the top dogs using?

Lilith holding her Xbox Series S consoles

Where do I stack on the list regarding power against my friends playing the game?

Can I be the 3254th Rogue in the world this season?

But we dont have a leaderboard at all.

Diablo Seasons

My Galactic Wings earned in Diablo 3 Seasons

Which begs the question, why didnt they just wait until the leaderboard function was ready before implementing seasons?

Id rather have a fully-fledged board than a half-baked attempt at a season.

Diablo 3 was released in 2012 and didnt start seasons until 2014.

Diablo 4 - Season of the Malignant

The cosmetics in Diablo 4 are great, but outside of the Battle Pass you barely see them.

Thecosmetics in Diablo 4are absolutely gorgeous.

you could look just as badass at level 10 as at level 100.

Let alone the fact that you barely see your character up close.

Inarius holding his sneaky secrets

I would side with Inarius if he would just sort out my gem bag.

Some players have even resorted to using third-party websites or apps to find groups or clans to play with.

Nightmare dungeons?

More like Nightmare inventory management

This will sound extremely nitpicky, but I hate inventory management in games.

Diablo 4 Campfire Chat

The Campfire Chats have been a great way to discuss changes with the community, and I hope they are here to stay.

Diablo 4 treats PC and console players equally, so you must go through everything individually.

The Malignant Hearts count as gems and will also fill up your inventory fast and need to be salvaged.

Im normally excited to level up my chosen class and then play another during a season.

Diablo 4 Collectors Box

I bought the Collectors Box and the game 3 times, so don’t tell me I don’t love it, but it’s ok to see it’s shortcomings.

You know what Im going to say here:this was better in Diablo 3.

Im ok with that.

Still, I think it was introduced too early without consideration for the game quality.
