Diablo is dead - I would like to shutter this community.
I played Diablo, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, and Diablo 4, all on their respective launch days. I really enjoyed the first two, and kinda hated the third one until they fixed all the bullshit. However, Diablo 4 was a piece of shit from day one. I enjoyed it for approximately 10.724 days. Rounding up. I'm absolutely done with Blizzard. I don't know what happened to what used to be an absolutely gobsmacking lip pulling jaw dropping studio, but it's clear that the suits took it over and fucked it.
Anyway, I'm gonna leave this open for a while, and give me your thoughts on whether I should leave this open or ask the admins to kill this community.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to step away. I'm not playing any Diablos at the moment either. But many of us were also done with D3 before it course corrected.
Outright shuttering the community would be short-sighted. If you're absolutely 100% sure you're done, then you may want to step down, but I also feel like that might be something you eventually come to regret. The future is uncertain.
I’ve been waiting for this. Before buying the game. I didn’t like d3 at launch. So I waited a few years to play it again and liked it so much more. I figured the same thing would happen with Diablo 4
Planning to. I don't do anything spur of the second or minute or hour. I will wait patiently to see what the prevailing mood is, especially giving weight to my fellow moderators, if they haven't just left.
So far, it's looking like I will not be shuttering this community. Instead I will look to give it to someone else who hasn't lost their passion for Diablo.
Diablo 4 content isn't the only thing that can be posted, I've seen people post content from D2 as well. Don't close the community. Find someone else willing to take it over.
I have no horse in this race since I haven't played a Diablo game in years, but given that there are still people who play and enjoy the series, maybe just see if someone else would be interested in taking over management of the community?
I have no opinion on the community but Diablo 2 will forever be one of my favourite games. Although it did get a little better after a few years 3 just was never even close to being as good in my eyes. After the launch of 3 was when I swore off Blizzard and their shit and it has only got worse from there it seems.
I haven't even tried 4 and I won't be, blizzard don't deserve any of my money to even try it. I haven't even played the remastered version of 2 because I refuse to give them money. I guess slash d2 servers is all that is left for me xD
Blizzard North got shuttered is what happened. Then Activision took over, and now all that matters is profit line go up. Blizz stopped giving a shit about making “good” games long ago.
I've enjoyed the other games having played Diablo I the most. I played the open beta for IV and pretty much got bored with it before the beta even ended. Never did buy it. I figure I might pick it up if/when it's in sale for under $20 or so to at least get the story.
I'm done with D4 also, maybe will return to play with my spouse since it's coming soon to gamepass on Xbox.
If it's not a big deal to moderate it, I would to suggest to keep the community open.
