As the dust settles a month after Diablo 4\u2019s <\/em>hugely successful launch, players are voicing their concerns over its lack of any major social features, which they claim has been making for a lonely experience. It was a major talking point on Reddit over the weekend and is gaining traction within the community.<\/p>
And, they added, nobody seems to type in chat channels either.<\/p>
Another player echoed these sentiments, describing the game as “super lonely.” They pointed out that while the game was marketed as having a strong online multiplayer aspect, it hardly lives up to those claims. “At most, I see some people standing in town, or maybe one other person shows up to an open-world event,” the player noted<\/a>. “But there\u2019s no way to meaningfully interact or communicate besides doing an emote or something.”<\/p>
Thousands chimed into the discussion and most agreed, sharing their own experiences and frustrations. One even went as far as describing the existing system as \u201cfucking horrible,\u201d<\/a> while another said a company that has developed as many MMOs as Blizzard shouldn\u2019t be \u201cfailing this hard\u201d<\/a> at social aspects.<\/p>

These posts highlight a growing concern in the Diablo 4<\/em> community. The Diablo<\/em> series has always revolved around cooperative gameplay, with players teaming up to take on its toughest challenges. The latest iteration seems to be falling short of the mark<\/a>, causing players to feel isolated in a game that was marketed as a social release.<\/p>
Blizzard has not responded to these concerns, but there\u2019s a good chance they will. There is a developer update livestream<\/a> inked in for July 6 in which a number of upcoming quality-of-life updates will be revealed.<\/p>
