Blizzard wrote today that with their new Real ID system, they hope to “connect the Blizzard community in ways they haven’t been connected before.” They plan on doing this by tying real life names to all forum posts from here on out.
Hellmode, however, posits that the community has been connecting in these ways for years–Blizzard is just naively unaware. And this is a very bad thing.
Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.
All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.
I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.
what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.
i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.

Blizzard has revealed their showcase schedule for 2026.
I wonder if this is Bobby's doing.
diablo, warcraft, starcraft... for the longest time i've always thought of blizzard as the studio that never produced a mistake.
God with each passing day I hate activision and bobby kotick even more. He is the worst kind of representitive for our industry and he's just a money hungry prick. What makes matters worse is people continue to just throw money at him like naive little sheep that only care about playing modern warfare and WoW. I fear for us all if he gains anymore power...
