Genuinely curious. Was the new patch really that bad? (forum.stellarcastle.net)

I have yet to play the new season, but have been hearing it's been called "the worst patch in ARPG history," and wanted to know if this is the general consensus.

It's bad but not that bad. It's just boring, slow, and there's not much to do.

The nerfs affected everyone across the bored in a way that just slows down game play that already existed since launch. The hearts help speed things back up, very slightly, but you find your 3 and you're done with that season mechanic for the most part.

New uniques feel lack luster at best, glitchy and non-functioning as intended at worst.

More weird bugs..

Nothing new was really added content wise, you do the new short story campaign and you're done with it.

It's like they just wanted to slow the game down just to slow the game down. It's no more difficult than before, everything just takes longer. Just feels meh overall.

I'd say it's the most boring season of any seasonal ARPG (outside of just normal ladder rest seasons).

Still a fine game if you just want a Diablo game to play.
