Diablo 4 initially presents players with a wide array of content that’ll constantly have you on the edge of your seat as you navigate mobs of killer demons. However, it seems that fans of Blizzard’s fourth main line series installment are starting to experience burnout with the game due to the boring and repetitive dungeons that can be found throughout Sanctuary.
Although there are a plethora of unique areas that you can find in the game to satisfy your dungeon crawler craving, the core premise of each one remains the same all throughout: clear out mobs, retrieve a few objects, and slay the boss waiting at the end. Of course, this type of experience is often synonymous with most ARPG’s, but it still hasn’t stopped hardcore fans from grumbling about Diablo 4’s lack of entertaining endgame content.
With no way of contacting the developers directly about their complaints, players have instead begun reaching out to online communities instead to bring more attention to the issue at hand. Over on the Diablo 4 subreddit, one disgruntled user named Altnob created a post that said “the reason for all the burnout is because the same new and exciting dungeons we ran in the Act 1 betas turned out to be the only dungeons in the game.”
“When the game released, a lot of us got caught up in the campaign and enjoyed it for a while, but then came the end game loop of Nightmare Dungeons,” Altnob continued. With the layout of each one being near-identical to its counterparts, its only natural that players start to feel exhausted after repeatedly running through these areas and this experience only gets exacerbated due to the underwhelming loot you earn at the end.
Most of the users commenting under Altnob’s thread predictably agreed with their statements as a few have even said that they’re holding off on playing until the Diablo 4 Season 1 start date rolls around. Hopefully, the upcoming chapter can bring in plenty of new features and changes that’ll make the postgame experience more entertaining. Otherwise, players may just end up dropping the game entirely for other games that bring a larger variety of content.
