Diablo 2 Resurrected excites fans, but there is still one thing that causes disappointment, frustration, and anger. Even almost 3 weeks after release, the servers still do not work as planned, and there are increasing outages. Read everything about the matter here on MeinMMO!
What is going on with the servers for Diablo 2 Resurrected? The entire weekend starting October 9, 2021, server problems plagued the action RPG Diablo 2 Resurrected. Despite diligent efforts and announcements from Blizzard, they have never managed to keep the game online stable for long.
Time and again, the servers were down and no one could play online. Europe was particularly affected, and players could hardly access the servers until everything went down again and the waiting began anew.
Especially frustrating: There were also rollbacks, where the servers were reset and thus valuable items or even characters were lost. This reminded a bit of a bug that killed offline characters at launch.
Fans are disappointed
What are the causes of the problems? Here Blizzard seems to be still searching. Because despite several announcements on Twitter from the developers, the problems always returned. Even on October 10, the servers were down for a long time, and players were understandably in a bad mood.
The announcements from Blizzard that “in an hour” they would know more, which were repeated multiple times, brought more mockery and scorn than confidence.
How are players reacting? As expected, players were disappointed and angry. Some were looking forward to a weekend full of demon-slaying and treasure hunting, but continuous gaming enjoyment was not provided. Especially that almost 3 weeks after launch, these problems are still plaguing the servers of the hellish spectacle, annoys many players, and snarky comments are piling up on Twitter and Reddit:
- Grow_Green (via reddit): “This is the only game I’ve bought in the last few years that really feels like the servers are from the year 2000. So much for game progress. Thanks for another rollback and fuck you, Battle-Net!”
- RampantAI (via reddit): “Welcome to D2R! Every week we randomly fix a new bug or add a new one – you’ll never guess which one comes next – good luck, HC players!”
- Slagcraft (via reddit) sees the issue more constructively: “I have the impression that the server software has a memory leak or something like that. Just before it happens, performance starts to drop. Identifying [the problem] can then take a lot of time. Every time these symptoms appear, the server crashes in the next 1-2 hours. Honestly, if you see these symptoms, stop playing, otherwise, progress won’t be saved.
What are the developers doing? According to the developers, the servers are back online. But what exactly was done and whether it will remain stable now is not known.
Let’s just hope that the many maintenance works, server downtimes, and rollbacks at least accomplished something and that you can play Diablo 2 Resurrected online again without fear for your progress.
However, the server problems are not the only thing currently annoying players in Diablo 2 Resurrected. Because Blizzard has so far not implemented an important feature in the game that hardcore fans have been wishing for: Diablo 2: Resurrected – Blizzard annoys the hardcore fans with a decision.
