Diablo 4 team says it doesn't "plan on doing a patch like this ever again"

Blizzard says it understands the frustration players have about Diablo 4’s most recent patch, and promises it doesn’t “plan on doing a patch like this ever again”.

In a candid fireside chat, key members of the Diablo 4 team said that they “acknowledge everyone’s feedback”, admitting that whilst the goal was to slow down players “blasting through the content”, the nerfs had the opposite effect of what the team had intended, which had been to “make the game more fun for players”.

“We want to acknowledge everyone’s feedback in regard to reducing player power,” said community manager, Adam Fletcher. “We know it is bad. We know it is not fun… We also want to talk about what we were trying to achieve specifically with this patch and with the changes that players ended up seeing.
