The hardest cases of exploit users have now been excluded from Diablo 3. However, the ban only lasts a few days and is not enough for many players in the community.
The Necromancer exploit has been a hot topic in the Diablo 3 community in recent days. The interaction of certain skills from Necromancers and Demon Hunters resulted in a glitch that caused excessively high damage. Exploiting this glitch gave players several advantages.
Initially, Blizzard did not want to ban players to avoid catching “innocent” players who were unaware of the exploit. However, players who used the exploit particularly conspicuously have now been excluded from the game – but only for a short time.
Diablo 3 Ban – Exploiters excluded from the XP Weekend
Some Diablo players used the Necromancer exploit in recent days to level their legendary gems and improve their characters. The community demanded bans for those who exploited this glitch. However, this is not so easy from Blizzard’s perspective, as they do not want to exclude players from Diablo 3 who used the exploit only accidentally.
In the Battle.net forums, the Blizzard team explained that some players may have been in four-player groups and accidentally became part of the exploit. They do not want to punish legitimate players.
The developers decided to punish only the players who exploited the bug the most severely. This group of players is therefore not allowed to participate in the bonus XP weekend, which will end tonight. The focus is on players who continued to use the bug after Blizzard’s warning.
Blizzard announces better communication
The Blizzard team is dissatisfied with how they handled the last exploit. The implementation of the hotfix took too long and there were communication issues with the fans. In the future, they want to act much faster and communicate with the community about problems.
Many fans are still unhappy with Blizzard’s decisions. The legendary gems should have been completely reset and players should have been banned for longer – this is what sincere players wished for. Because those who avoided the exploit and did not take advantage of it are ultimately “the losers.” So explains Youtube Rhykker, for whom the penalties do not feel like punishments at all.
Nonetheless, the message from Blizzard’s forum post sounds promising, and he hopes that actions will be taken more swiftly by Blizzard in the future.
Do you find Blizzard’s punishment fair, or should they have hit the exploit users harder?
