Blizzard did not design Diablo 4 to be played forever

Piepiora is challenging fans by telling them that it will take several tries for players to have a chance to clear the Nightmare Dungeons.

Mind you, it isn't like you're playing through this endgame content to get your hands on more powerful gear. Piepiora says that this is a place for players to test their ultimate build and gear, saying: That's the point, is to say, 'I have managed to get an extremely powerful character build together. This is my capstone, this is the goal that I have for myself within like a period of time after I've reached level 100'. You know, that's the aspirational piece, we want players to chase. There's cosmetic things, there's other rewards you can get from that encounter. But it's not about getting more gear at that point. Like that's kind of like the point of getting the gear is to fight that that particular boss. We're curious to find out how Diablo 4 will bring back the titular villain.

Piepiora stopped short of naming the endgame Diablo 4 boss for now but it wouldn't surprise us if it's a form of Diablo, the titular villain.

Regardless of the name, what Piepiora just revealed has fans fired up and raring to have a shot at this nightmarish creature. The way that Piepiora describes it suggests that it takes more than just an endless amount of hours grinding to defeat this boss - you need to have a deep understanding of Diablo 4, its combat mechanics, and your preferred character build.

TLDR; you can't just brute force and grind your way through Diablo 4.

Diablo 4's endgame isn't just about beating a big bad boss. Another huge part is the Fields of Hatred, which are PvP zones Blizzard described as a "chaotic realm of danger and threat."

Whether you're the terrorizer or the terrorized or you prefer to strategize, think, and build your character, Blizzard appears to have thought of everything.

All that's left is to find out if Diablo 4 can deliver. The game is coming out on June 6. Before then, you can check out Diablo 4 for one last time in what Blizzard refers to as a "Server Slam" event.
