Diablo II Resurrected: One month after release, the mood against Blizzard is hostile

The Action-RPG Diablo II Resurrected is now a month outside. But for many, a smooth online game is how they have hoped for 30 days after the release has not yet been possible. In the hourly, there are mad posts in the forums, which raise serious allegations against Blizzard. The queues and the instability of the servers tolerate the nerves of the players.

That s the situation :

Diablo 2 Resurrected has appeared on September 23. It is a Remaster of the 2000er game Diablo II. The release was given good reviews on Metacritic. But there are big server problems with Diablo II resurrected. They led to crashes and longer failures. As Blizzard says, people played it too modern : they made too many boss runs. The players open a new game, kill a boss, close the game, open a new round. Because the 2021 make much more people than before, the servers would not be clear. As a counter-the problem, there are now restrictions on how often new games can be created (Via Twitter), and there are queues. But many players are still dissatisfied with the current state of Diablo II resurrected. Especially on Saturday there was angry protests: Diablo II seemed to burst on the seams on Saturday evening of our time.

Players threaten with complaints, want their money back

So the mood is : If you look into the official forums of Blizzard, teemes to players who express their frustration to Blizzard. They demand their money back or threaten with complaints. In general, it says:

The queues are a joke - one would put too long in the queue The online games of Diablo 2 is also unstable - you will often be kicked out of the queue, then need to start new and get back far back Blizzard promised to properly make Diablo 2 Resurrected - but it is after Warcraft 3 reforged another failure Some people challenge their money and say that Blizzard broke up the reputation, that would also have a negative impact on Diablo 4

Some are the view that the high server load is a problem that is created by Chinese Botter . Apparently, Item trading over Ebay makes the game popular for people, the Diablo II specifically farms to vibrate items on ebay.

This makes the situation for Blizzard so difficult: Blizzard is one of the most popular software companies, because they have developed a reputation, to publish clean and polished games that appear in a mature state than comparable products of competition .

The criticism of Diablo II is not aimed at the game, but to the server structure and the stability of the servers. But it is essential that the servers run well and stable to play Diablo 2 online.

This creates the impression that Blizzard did not care about relatively light task and is now overwhelmed. Especially the statement that players would play too modern , stoves some bitterly:

Because they say: They intensively operated the farm runs with high server load 20 years ago. According to the statement of Blizzard, that would make much more people today than then. This is evidently the problem.

The situation is so difficult for Blizzard, because in recent years had so few releases: and to Warcraft III reorged, the last Remaster, there was much criticism. At Diablo 2 everything should run differently. In itself, the game also got well and was praised for his technical quality, but the server problems, one month after launch, now hurt the good mood.

In addition, the difficult situation in the Blizzard has since the sexism lawsuit is anyway:

To write about Blizzard and World of Warcraft is only a torment
