You don’t implement systems like these in a few days, it’s probably been in the works for months.

I’ve been out of the loop. What did they do this time?

You’re not really out of the loop, this was more than 20 years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bnetd

This happened back in 2002! No wonder I missed it, I was kind of stuck overseas for a bit around that time.

And I thought Blizzard was still cool back then.

Thanks for link, I appreciate it. I know it’s pretty easy to blow off an online comment.

What is BnetD? I’m assuming it’s something to do with battle net but I don’t know how that can get worse

It really seems like the same game with changes to its worst systems. I haven’t been keeping up completely but my friends were talking about this last night. They still only have 3 enemy types?

Right? It’s like they forgot how to balance and think this is what people what.

I’ll never forget the tone deaf “Do you guys not have phones?” because that always reminds me of how out of touch they are with their customer base.

Of course we have phones. Of course a lot of us would love a Diablo game for mobile. Of course at the time everyone was waiting and expecting news of a new main game in the series. Despite probably the higher game sales and larger fanbase of Diablo 3, I still feel like (or at least hope) that the general consensus is that Diablo 1 and 2 are seen as better than 3 (and now 4).

If they had released a remastered 1 and/or 2 for mobile, I would have easily tossed them a few bucks for it or even each. Instead I played Immortal for a couple weeks until I got bored and gave them no money, but that doesn’t fucking matter because 1 dumb mother fucker is all it takes for the company to look at microtransactions as the profitable Holy Grail.

They no longer have to make games for their majority fanbase, only a select few. And if you charge for the game AND microtransactions? Well that’s even better.

Forgot how to balance

Blizzard not knowing how to balance has been a joke basically as long as Blizzard has existed.
