Keeping it exactly the same runs the risk of producing a shiny new title with dated mechanics. Tamper with the winning formula too much and risk ruining it. The first problem with remaking a genre-defining title of yesteryear will always be nostalgia. Stay awhile, and listen to a fan of the original ramble for a while. After spending a few hours with Diablo 2 Resurrected on PlayStation 4, I'm afraid my hope has been that of a fool. A remake of one of my favorite games of all time to be experienced again, this time in glorious up-to-date standards. The hope of Blizzard listening to feedback on all fronts gave me hope for the title's release. The tragic performance of the game during these tests left me wanting (read the beta impressions right here).

The game will have been out nearly a month and it’s become even more unplayable online which is one of the Diablo 2 Resurrected’s main selling points.Returning to Diablo 2 Resurrected after the betas had me excited.

We’ve seen a lot of refund comments, and while refunds are not being dished out by Blizzard, there will come a point where there’s a valid argument for it if they don’t fix this. It’s only really worth trying to connect if you are desperate to play because you actually have some free time, otherwise it might be time to take a timeout until these issues are resolved. What’s happening is a real shame and we’re still not sure when a final solution will appear. I know as even I have had difficulty playing myself and I’m hoping we can have a further update for you all here soon. Again, we have a team on this 24/7 and calls going on 24/7 as they work on troubleshooting and keeping things going with the databases. This weekend has led to an even more massive increase in players connecting into one specific region and is thus causing players to move to other regions and create queues there. There are moments where players are getting in as we have a team around the clock turning on the faucets for console players to feed online but they are difficult windows before the timeouts. As of now, console is kind of flying blind and it unfortunately is leading to timeouts for users which knocks them into offline. It’s looking like it will be the first half once it gets through all the first party certifications. We noted that consoles would have this within a week. There was a PC patch on Friday that added in a queue visual onto the game while we started queueing players during high traffic windows.
