The Necromancer exploit has caused discontent within the community in Diablo 3. Blizzard is now responding with a double XP weekend. Will this be enough to calm the tempers?
The first days after the release of the Necromancer in Diablo 3 were not smooth. The reason for this is an exploit that many players exploited to reach high levels of Greater Nephalem Rifts and upgrade their legendary gems as a result.
As an apology for the long implementation of a hotfix, a weekend with double experience points is now waiting for you.
Double Experience – Gems will be reset
The hotfix for this Necromancer exploit took its time: The problem was not finally resolved until Monday. The calls from those demanding a ban on the players who massively exploited the exploit are getting louder. However, Blizzard is undeterred by this and is solving the problem in its own way.
The exploit allowed players to quickly reach high levels in Greater Nephalem Rifts with the new class of the Necromancer. In addition to the loot gained from this, the legendary gems could also be leveled up quickly. Due to this permanent advantage, the community believes that the players should be punished accordingly.
Blizzard responds to this issue as follows:
As with previous exploits, we will not impose penalties based on opinions outside the Diablo team.
A very vague statement that leaves open whether cheaters will actually be punished or not. Blizzard remains silent on this. At least the legendary gems will be downgraded to the maximum level achievable before the patch.
- The double XP weekend starts on Saturday, July 15 at 2:00 AM CEST and ends on Monday, July 17 at 7:00 PM.
Mein MMO says:
Whether this measure and the double XP weekend will calm the tempers remains questionable. The legendary gems are only lowered to a certain level. Blizzard will also not fiddle with the Paragon level.
