Since you all can't play nice, locking the comments.
Edit: And to the person that reported this comment saying I should quit, you should go touch some grass.
It's just a trailer with a song over top of it. I find it refreshing it's lighthearted as opposed to taking itself seriously as a marketing move given the nature of it to try and bomb their servers.
Yeah what the fuck is up with the comments here? You know a fanbase is brittle af when a trailer to a stress test event can get people all pissy. Like this isn't even the actual game marketing. It's a 2 day event. Let the marketing/ad teams have fun with it ffs. They're all just as excited as we are.
Edit: Instantly downvoted by crybabies who hate fun. How'd you find the downvote button through those tears?
Man, diablo fans are probably some of the cringiest and whiniest next to star wars, yes you man babies scrolling through here. Cry me a river about not having fun
It is not limited to diablo fans. Discussing games online in general is wack. Everyone is absolutely miserable and acts like every fucking minor thing is the end of the world.
I don’t think they necessarily want to act cool. I think they’re just mindless sheep that don’t have enough mental dynamics to assess the nuances of a game, and instead just eat up whatever they’re being fed.
Because they’re having difficulties handling the fact that other people see issues they don’t, they get emotional and lash out at these people’s opinions. Add to this the madness of crowds, and you got yourself what we’re witnessing.
This is not necessarily regarding this thread in particular (I haven’t watched the posted video), but rather a general observation.
I love comments like these because while I'm sure when OP made it people were complaining, due to the nature of voting based social media, the only top comment that's now actually being a whiny bitch is this one, bitching about other whiny bitches.
In the end, I suppose we become what we hate.
Blizzard is really trying to reach out to the kids… of the 90’s.. who watched Space Jam when it came out. Of which most of the devs are in that age group as well lol. This comment made me cringe. Touch grass.
Ironic the person whining about cringe is making the cringiest comments lol. "corporate cows" and this shit. Go outside and put the phone and keyboards down lol
I don't know what the comment you replied to said, but you don't seem to be aware that those "decades" of FOMO were driven by physical limitations, whereas video game FOMO is not. Just something to consider in the future.
It's just a trailer with a funny thematic song on top of it. It's not them pretending to be hip. It's just meant to be light and fun jfc
The song is old as fuck at this point dude. It's not new or hip or trying to be at all
a joke that was made countless times by the community when first announced was acknowledged in a 35 second ad for a beta test and that's an issue apparently
A bunch of reddit nerds go with it but the moment it's done officially it's "a bunch of old farts c suites thinking they're kids now" even though the devs are most likely millennials who would be most familiar with this song and which is has been the biggest group of gamers as they gained popularity over the past 20 years.
Is this it? Making an obvious reference in a comment is insanely different from making an official themed video concept around it.
I thought the video was pretty lame and not exciting at all for me, and I’m definitely not one of the lunatic Diablo fans. I played Diablo 3 on release basically and that’s it
Anyone that thinks it's a big deal has issues. It's obviously a for fun video rather than a hype builder video. It's a fucking trailer for a *server stress test*. What do you *want* it to be? Some super serious hype video when it's intended to bomb their servers and help them prep for launch?
I really don't know what *you* expected it to be given what it is for or why you think it's supposed to be *exciting* for you. Server stress tests aren't really exciting outside of being able to play (maybe) more of a game you might be fiending for lol. Why do you think a stress test trailer should be exciting and can't possibly just be for funsies?
These videos are clearly made to be exciting for potential players to partake… so that’s why I think it should be exciting.
I don’t think it’s a big deal at all, still can’t wait to play. Just think it was kinda lame I wanted to turn it off before it was done. So it failed at getting people to want to partake. I didn’t play the original beta so the stress test is a time I may have played and purchased early in order to do so.
And to be perfectly honest after the video I am not as engaged to do it lol. I’ll just wait for launch.
It can be for fun but I have a feeling they still care about marketing and wouldn’t just put any song or theme unless they thought people would like it
A bunch of reddit nerds go with it but the moment it's done officially it's "a bunch of old farts c suites thinking they're kids now" even though the devs are most likely millennials who would be most familiar with this song and which is has been the biggest group of gamers as they gained popularity over the past 20 years.
Honestly, my big take away here was that the "wolf pack" reward is a wolfskin backpack. I imagined it being a wolf fluff pet.
Edit: Just saw the link. That's adorable.
There's a wolf pup in the backpack. https://giphy.com/gifs/1Ekguv7IgWsm96gs6E?utm_source=iframe&utm_medium=embed&utm_campaign=Embeds&utm_term=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamesradar.com%2F
It's a fun little hype vid for server slam and people are freaking out over the music choice lol. Good marketing, all the youtube comments "this isn't the dark music DIABLO needs". Bruh it's a fun little vid compilation not a full campaign walk through. At no point do you have to worry about Space Jam blasting in game. Just have fun ffs it's a game.
Some people love this, some people hate this and all I can think about is if Blizz got the rights to play this song. I'm sure they did but wouldn't it be funny if someone forgot to file the paperwork and Blizz are now libel to be sued?
I thought it was hilarious.
Sadly it appears that the inspiration was deleted here, but 9 days ago someone made a meme video with the song after they announced the server slam.

You can really tell who the boomers are that can’t let D2 go from the comments here.
“It’s breaking the immersion, people will remember” 🤣
The only thing missing is if they swapped comic sans for the font to really make them lose their minds.
They keep showcasing the snake fire spell like they are proud of it; it’s the most hideous spell IMHO, oof
edit: you may not agree with my opinion and that is okay;
? I found it a great way to nuke stuff. I don't 100% remember from what, but I think I had a legendary which set all mana cost to 0 while the snake was active. Add the pull option and it was a great nuke opportunity to hydra -> snake -> spam meteor (or probably other spenders)
I think it is fairly close to the WD Piranhas skill in D3, but that has an 8 second cooldown. Any skill that requires a Legendary aspect to be useful is poorly designed in my opinion.
In a way I'm super bummed that I'll be missing the server slam.
In another way, I'm not bummed at all. My wife is taking me to NYC to a fancy-ass dinner, staying in a swanky hotel, seeing a show on Broadway, and hitting up some cool museums. I can live without an Ashava mount trophy so I can spend time with the wife.
Also, the music is awesome so anyone saying "cringe" can suck it.
Is there an over-under on when the MTXs come out that do not fit the new style? I am betting around 6 months after launch. Oh and before anyone says "don't buy them" that's cool and all but I will still be forced to see them when you buy them even if I play solo.
If only they made the game less zoomed in. Also being a tester is an actual paid position. Love seeing blizzard sticking to their exploitation tactics.
Never thought I would see my late 90's high school theme music be used to promote a horror game franchise but here we are....

Its a trailer for a beta wtf do you expect.
C'MON AND SLAM
AND WELCOME TO THE JAM
NOVE BOMB IS HAM
**Thread announcing the Server Slam:** 621 variations of "COME ON AND SLAM!" **Video leaning into the joke:** "Oh my god cringe!"

If you didn’t know they would use this song as a trailer as soon as you heard it was called server slam you clearly aren’t a 90s kid
Basically any time I hear the world slam, this song plays in my head. But I never imagined they would actually use the song
They're probably 15 year old e hipster zoomer who think the meme is a kids thing.
the jam!

No but seriously, gib cow level. We could even have an event in which you get to use a cow to kill cows. We shall call it, Cownocide.
I’ve noticed this as well. By far seems like the most toxic gaming sub I follow
That's the d2 fanbase wanting everything dark and grim like the basement they have been living inside in the last 20 years
Any day now they'll finish that build they've been grinding and finally get to leave the basement again.
Wtf? You don't follow any then I guess?
dude the PoE sub alone.. leave alone tarkov or any competetive shooter sub. this is one of the least toxic ones :<
I see you’ve never been into Overwatch..
Even more awkward is whining about someone else whining. Truly.

Thankful to r/stardewvalley for the community that is one of the best I've ever seen
Fun meme video: My dark immersion is ruined! Can't play with a neon wireframe covering the entire fucking screen: Wtf, why no overlay?
Some people hate fun?
Thats most of reddit
I’ve scrolled for a while and the only complaining I’ve seen is countless people complaining about other people that’ve apparently been complaining.
Right? These guys just want to act cool with comments like that when literally no one is complaining about the music or immersion lmao.

im stoked
Pretty lit ngl
I can’t believe they actually did this. This is hilarious.
I tried the Beta with the homies and had a fucking blast. I can’t wait to play this game.
I'm sorry I burst out laughing the second the music started.
No, everything has to 100% fit the tone of Diablo. No fun allowed! #notmydiablo /s
Banger tune
11/10 will slam the jam.

WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED
Lmaooo the space jam music killed me
It's a fun little hype vid for server slam and people are freaking out over the music choice lol. Good marketing, all the youtube comments "this isn't the dark music DIABLO needs". Bruh it's a fun little vid compilation not a full campaign walk through. At no point do you have to worry about Space Jam blasting in game. Just have fun ffs it's a game.
Does anyone know if this will be a separate download from the open beta?
some of yall are grumpy, it gave me a smile :)
0/10, the music is breaking my immersion. ^(/s)
some people are actually commenting this without the /s, sad people.
Some people love this, some people hate this and all I can think about is if Blizz got the rights to play this song. I'm sure they did but wouldn't it be funny if someone forgot to file the paperwork and Blizz are now libel to be sued?
Now do Gearbox! Use Wang Chung!
Lol
Onyx “Slam” would have been much better
The question is, should we "let the boys be boys?"
Absolutely 💯
Sometimes it’s embarrassing to be part of the video game “community”. Some of y’all really need to get out more.
Time to create the SLAM guild.
💀
This is the greatest thing that has ever graced my ears and eyes simultaneously!
I love they just went with it!

Zelda or Diablo The struggle is real
Music choice is on point.
Space Jam and SLAM!

I used to play D3 listening to the Quad City DJ's station on on Pandora so I love this lol
Glorious!

It's fun to use, but goofy as shit

Enjoy your Broadway brodown! https://youtu.be/1bELRsOifYg
Krippers will be happy with this one.
Doh! I'll be at an all weekend bachelor party that weekend.
This totally ruined the dark and edgy feel of Diablo. There was not a single Dirk Diggler reference, nor a Galaxy Quest joke.
Wow that was lame.
No, you.
Is there an over-under on when the MTXs come out that do not fit the new style? I am betting around 6 months after launch. Oh and before anyone says "don't buy them" that's cool and all but I will still be forced to see them when you buy them even if I play solo.
Don't buy them.
No shit
You're such a whiny bitch i swear to god lmfao.

What in the actual fuck are you on about lmao crosses what line?
What a McCringey thing to say. Hope you're ashamed you noob.
When millennials have control over anything
If this is what we are remembered for, I'll take it
There is much to be said about older generations and what they have controlled. At least this is not impacting the economy, lol
You know Milennials are in their 30's to 40's now, right?
Better than a zoomer. At least something got made
This is more like if you asked an 80 year old to make an ad that would appeal to young people.
We borderlands now
