Diablo 4's pre-season 1 patch is here and no one is happy about it
Diablo 4's community is in open revolt. Patch 1.1.0 dropped yesterday, ahead of tomorrow's season 1 kick-off, and brought with it a suite of changes to the game's balance, loot, and (unfortunately for them) Sorcerers. The response from the playerbase has been, ah, negative, to say the least.
Wherever you look, the game's players are ticked off both by the things that have changed and the things that haven't, and the response has gotten so bad that Blizzard has scheduled one of its Campfire Chat sessions this Friday to discuss it.
PCG's Tyler Colp covered the community's intensely negative reaction to patch 1.1.0's Sorcerer nerfs yesterday, but it's not just the wizarding changes that have people up in arms. Even players who aren't angry about the Sorc changes are going so far as to beg Blizzard to revert the patch, to delete the game (or claim to, anyway), and to start talking about how much they're looking forward to Baldur's Gate 3. Sorcerers are probably the angriest though, admittedly. I don't think any other class is offering Blizzard devs a million bucks to walk a mile in their shoes.
The reaction to the patch has been so vocal and so negative that it's almost impossible to capture it all here, but perhaps I can give you a taste.

In mocking agreement, a player named Athmil asked «What do mean no endgame? They added another Uber unique that you can never get even after playing for 10,000 hours.»
