In a candid Diablo IV developer livestream, Blizzard said it realizes the game's controversial Season 1 update missed the mark and is vowing to make sure it doesn't happen again.

The update, which drastically reduced player power by nerfing affixes like Vulnerable damage and Critical Strike damage while also nerfing important defensive stats, has not gone over well with the Diablo IV community. It's a fact Blizzard is well aware of and addressed head-on.

"We want to acknowledge everyone's feedback in regards to reducing player power," associate community management director Adam Fletcher said. "We know it is bad. We know it is not fun. We ourselves know that it's not the greatest play experience for players out there."
