So... Blizzard is dead, right? They don't know how to make good games anymore and they only make shit in old epic games? Lets find out prt...



It’s generally speaking what happens when any entertainment company is public. They are focused on shareholder value, rather than putting out a good product. Quality goes but fans stick around because nostalgia. And they keep giving them money because they can’t help themselves. And because the entertainment is profitable, the company is achieving its goals and doesn’t change.

There are few entertainment companies that succeed, in terms of quality content, post IPO. Most notably, Disney and Netflix come to mind.

I’m sure there are other examples. But when the move from where the founder / co-founders are the CEOs, and they are creative focused, to where the CEOs are business or accounting focused, traditional CEOs, the quality goes down as they make moves for profit, rather than quality.

And this has been the case since activision acquired blizzard.

the point of the ptr was to have people log in and out over and over again. sprinkling random good items across 25 characters accomplishes that.


this. the wrong items on chars are intentional, imagine that..

14 hour day at work. Was semi excited to play ptr. After reading these posts I decided to chug a quarter bottle of bourbon, grill some steaks and not play it. Was that the right decision?


Well, Blizz geared up a bunch of different toons for you to try out... Their lightning sorc has 105% cast :wallbash:

Its easier for veteran players to give them suggestions than trying to convince of their badly implemented changes because we all have an ego. Don’t trust current D2 team to know the game.
