Diablo IV’s First Season is As Fun As A Sad Old Fisherman
<p>Earlier this week, Blizzard launched another huge patch for <em>Diablo IV</em> to get things ready for the launch of the “Season of the Malignant,” but instead they set their own community on fire.</p>
<p>The patch brought with it tons of nerfs and slowdowns, from arbitrarily lengthening the time it takes to exit a dungeon by two seconds, to knocking down the effectiveness of many popular Barbarian and Sorcerer builds, to dramatically increasing cooldowns for most skills that operate on them.</p>
<p>It was a total mess. It kicked off dozens of think piece articles, rant videos, and angry forum posts. And then into the middle of that nightmare, the new season and paid battle pass content launched. Blizzard tried to control the damage this morning with an awkward livestream, but all they did was <a href="https://youtu.be/lFf3QzwPgzs" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">further confuse the hardcore community.</a></p>
<p>Right now, it feels like <em>Diablo IV </em>is in a deep dank hole. It’s like an old guy whose boat doesn’t work anymore but he still needs to catch some fish to eat. Yes, I’m still running with this whole fisherman thing.</p>
