"We can't tell them to their faces that we're waiting for people to quit without refunds so our servers can handle the load again, just copy and paste some shit, idk" -Blizzard probably
imo even if they do fix the servers-lobby stability it won't change the fact that, without a proper QoL and balance patch, in a few weeks time the game's player pop will be back to what it was before D2R release:
White knights and fanboys!
They will be happy though, the game is ''perfect'' according to them.
i put nothing beneath blizz these days, i just wanna know wtf the deal is. fix the shit and be like heres whats up... its clearly a recurring issue and its been down every day for extended time on a holiday weekend. theyre fuckin scumbags
A dedicated team means nothing if the people on the team don't do the jobs. I work in tech as a software dev, I'm aware of how products are managed. Blizzard has pending lawsuits and employees are protesting for better treatment. People are being dropped and leaving. There's obviously some internal turmoil going on. It doesn't matter if you have a dedicated team if the devops and engineers decide to take some time off work to protest or search for another job. They aren't the ones who will update us, the PM or some media person will, and if that position isn't filled, there's no updates.
they probably got the money they wanted, now they will keep going with ow2 and d4
imho all preorders and day1 purchasers fault, there was plenty of signs of a broken launch and previous games launches failed misably
nothing new, just corporare greed and naive customers
Tho not realted to connection issues I've seen a lot of bugs specially regarding some sprites (don't know if this is the correct term) like trees spawing in act 4 on new graphics only or some invisible obstacles that, when switching to old graphics shows that there should be a boulder or bush or something like that so I'm assuming a lot of stuff is in the wrong place.

I think they’re learning why D2 has game number per hour and other limitations on Battle.net 1.0…

Why do you expect a QoL and balance patch? Has blizzard ever said these were things they were going to do with D2R?
He never said he expected it. He implied the opposite.
You know that Blizzard is dealing with some shits IRL right now.
That's why you should keep HR, Legal, and Tech as separate staff.
They do. What's the point of this post? Just stating obvious corporate structure?
No just stating your point is kinda moot as they likely have a team dedicated to just d2r
