I so liked the AH. I spent more time in it than playing. (a lot of sarcasm there)

05/11/2019 12:43 PMPosted by DeadlyquietBlizzard doesn't care about customers anymore. They gained enough of those.. The game now is profit.I'm not sure that is 100% accurate. The bottom line is making enough money to pay Dev's, Artists, Sound Engineers, and the many others it take to create a great game. Then the company deserves to make a profit too. They have to pay for building, hardware, repay loans, and investors. Do not forget bandwidth and servers. It's a fact of being in business, and that is OK.However with no residual income coming in, they have to rely on a larger player base to…

The decision was and is about the financials. Activision Blizzard who own Candy Crush, which is the number one revenue generator on mobile platforms for them. It attracts a casual gamer market and it pays very well. So to try to grab a part of that casual gamer market with Immortal makes business sense, if it attracts this demographics. As for D3.... The amount of people playing could not support an expansion, and any thing more than what we are currently getting. Now could we get something to tide us over until there is a possible Diablo 4, maybe but unlikely if it is in the nearer future…

Look at the server load numbers. Right now there is maybe 3500 people playing US servers, and later in the day around 2500 on PC. PTR server load was probably some where in the 2000 a day and on fewer servers. To draw conclusions on our end is difficult for users, but blizz has those numbers and the effects the extra tabs had. We will probably never have access to those numbers. At the beginning of seasons however there is some where about 8000 or more users online in US on PC. That is where this extra server load comes into play. Granted PTR are far less numbers, but it is easy to calcula…

The season of CRAFTING. Hmm actually not a bad idea. Add a few more plans to the mix, and it could be fun. Not sure the mass's of instant gratification would like it though. But it is a good and challenging thought for a season.

During the last PTR the additional stash tabs went live so they could test the sever loading to see if there was negative impact. So everyone asking for more, but at what costs. More lag, slow loading, and even more things to complain about. Be happy with what you have, they usually do it so the game preforms well.

Just start in adventure mode. There are a bunch how to speed through it guides out there.

I will not attend this year. Last year was such a let down that it left me so discouraged that I will not spend money this year or any other year until they get it together.
