Just last week, Blizzard released the major Season 1 patch for Diablo 4 that didn’t go rather well with the fanbase given the nerfs to all classes and various changes that made the game even more of a grind. Just a few days ago, Blizzard held a Campfire Chat to talk about the Season 1 patch feedback where the studio admitted that the reducing player power was “bad” and “not fun.”

This was mentioned by Blizzard Community Manager Adam Fletcher who said the following:

We do want to go through, you know, a lot of the the points of feedback that we’ve been hearing and and at the same time the patch itself. The biggest thing that, you know, to kind of like kick us off here, I think we want to, you know, obviously acknowledge everyone’s feedback in regards to reducing player power. We know it is bad. We know it is not fun, and it’s something that, you know, we ourselves know that it’s not it’s not the greatest play experience for players out there.

Fletcher also added that Blizzard has no plans to release a patch like this ever again, and the studio plans to communicate via a blog post or a Campfire Chat if any big, sweeping changes are planned.

Obviously, and we we’ve been hearing a lot of feedback regarding the patch and, you know, we’re telling you guys now that we completely hear you loud and clear. We don’t plan on doing patches like this ever again, where we’re going to be essentially removing the fun in the player power from players drastically like this. And if we ever do that, or any type of class like a builder or whatnot, we’ll make sure that there’s always some really good alternatives for players to actually be able to try out a different build that will also be boosted way back up to to kind of help out and give other options for players to actually kind of jump into. And you know we will, ourselves, do a better job, of course, communicating back to the community again. what we’re saying now is that we will be getting patch notes in front of the community way earlier in advance. Whether through a Campfire Chat or through like a blog of some sort or any type of communication, so that you guys can get a better chance of looking at patch notes.

You can watch (or listen) to the entire Campfire Chat right here.
