YouTuber “jtisallbusiness” claims to have spent over $100,000 on Diablo Immortal. However, this is now backfiring on him as he can no longer find teammates for the PvP mode Battleground. This blocks important parts of the endgame.
Imagine spending a small fortune on your favorite game and suddenly facing a barrier in the endgame that excludes you from the most exciting activities in the game.
Exactly this has now happened to YouTuber “jtisallbusiness”. He is considered one of the biggest “whales” of Diablo Immortal and claims to have pumped over $100,000 into the cash shop. With the nearly equal exchange rate between the dollar and the euro, that’s also close to 100,000 euros.
We’ll show you why this endgame restriction occurs on MeinMMO. You can find more about the items for which players spend thousands of euros in the game in the video:
Player cannot become a real “Immortal” because PvP is not working
What problems does the player have? In Diablo Immortal, everything revolves around the battle between the Immortals and the Shadows.
Regularly, large battles occur on the servers between the reigning Immortals and shadow clans, who prove themselves as worthy contenders.
The shadow clans must complete certain tasks to earn a fight against the Immortals. Once completed, the big showdown takes place: an asymmetric battle between Immortals with special abilities and the players of the shadow clans.
jtisallbusiness was unable to participate in this epic battle that determines the current “kings” on the server. Because he could not complete his quest to become a true Immortal.
Why could he not complete the quest? This was due to the PvP Battleground. Diablo Immortal’s matchmaking system attempts to match players of equal strength.
However, jtisallbusiness seems to be playing in a league where no one else on his server can reach. He states in a video that he has around 350 wins on the battleground and only 3 losses (via youtube.com).
The high win rate along with his build resonance over 5,000 apparently results in Diablo Immortal being unable to find teammates for him. jtisallbusiness mentions that he has already spent over 50 hours in matchmaking.
However, he needs a match on the battleground to complete his Immortal quest. If he does not complete the quest, he cannot participate in the “Cycle of Strife” – the great battle between Immortals and Shadows.
jtisallbusiness has thus spent $100,000 in the game, only to now find no more teammates and to face a barrier in the endgame that excludes him from possibly the most exciting content in the entire game.
According to jtisallbusiness, he has already spoken with Blizzard about the issue on Twitter some time ago, but a solution is expected to take a few weeks – if there is one at all.
What do other players say about this? In the Diablo Immortal subreddit, a large thread has formed on the topic (via reddit.com). In over 600 comments, players discuss the situation of jtisallbusiness, and most commentators are not on the player’s side.
The thread starter wants to point out that developer Blizzard is the problem. However, the rest of the thread goes in a different direction – schadenfreude and accusations that he has pumped far too much money into the game. Here are a few comments from the thread:
- Xixth: “The matchmaking seems to be working as it should. I mean, he can’t expect to play against people with a weaker matchmaking rating given his insane matchmaking rating. If he wants to blame someone, he should probably blame himself for winning too hard.”
- itchriswtf: “Isn’t that the point of Pay2Win? He won so hard that no one else can compete with him.” bigchungusmclungus replies: “He won the game!”
- Capable-Ad4025: “Blizzard has a choice – either to screw one person or 99.99% of the other players. I’m glad they chose the former.”
