Diablo IV has been out for less than a month but players are already finding issues with certain aspects of the game, specifically with the nightmare dungeons that exist within the world.
In order to unlock the ability to use Nightmare Dungeons in Diablo 4, you first need to reach World Tier 3. They’re designed for players who know what they’re doing in the world, and as such don’t hold your hand at all. Over on Reddit though, people are questioning where the enjoyable elements of the dungeons are supposed to be.
“They’re not my favorite. Most of the dungeon modifiers are either bland stat boosts or boil down to ‘keep moving or this arbitrary trap you cannot affect or influence in any way will hit you”
Another user agreed, saying:
“No, not really, but it’s not like there are really any alternatives. Helltides get boring after a while, too, it’s basically just running around the overworld. And world bosses, while cool in concept, are too rare. And also, NM dungeons don’t offer enough variety to be worth as endgame activity. The affixes we have are both very bland, and you don’t have any real agency over them apart from gambling.”
We know that Activision-Blizzard is paying close attention to player complaints, so perhaps in a later patch they’ll look to address some of these issues.
