We will also be implementing a way to rate limit games with varying times to ensure we can get higher amounts of players in during peak playing periods. On top of that, we have another client patch that we expect to hit next week which will offer better transparency on queue times by adding time estimates alongside your placement in the queue. Once our internal load testing is complete, we will put up a PTR server with this fix to get some real-world testing before rolling out to the live game. Next week, our internal teams will begin testing a significant change by having saves occur more often on the regional end, rather than global, in hopes of alleviating some database stress. We wanted to provide an update on all the work the dev team has been putting in on addressing some of the database issues that we detailed in our post above a couple of weeks ago.Īs we mentioned in our last update, character saves have been occurring on the global database. Here's the full story:īlizzard have detailed some improvements coming in regards to the very prominent server issues that caused the (very unpopular) queue to be implemented, as several approaches are planned for next week (and we'll also be getting more regular bugfixes and apparently new features, but it's unclear when): It's definitely encouraging to see that much joy on a Duriel kill, not to mention the family enjoying it together! Hopefully we can all be like that when we're that age and have fun with our games. Let's take a look at this truly heart-warming story, but first here's a 1-shot of Hell Duriel (click on the image to see the video) :
Chrompower helps him out as well, as he gets asked to clean up the stash every once in a while and gives him some loot when possible, so it's now very much a family tradition! He also has a very specific way of playing, as he clears each zone completely and keeps it all clear of enemies! Oh and don't worry, he's upset about the server/queue issues as well. Apparently he's re-enjoying it so much he got tendonitis from playing almost 10 hours a day, but instead of taking a break, he just constructed a better armrest so he could continue playing without pain instead. Here's an amazing and wholesome story, as we have an 87 year-old playing so much D2R that he injured himself - but that didn't stop him from playing on!Ĭhrompower recently shared this awesome story of his grandfather, who returned to Diablo 2 20 years after he first played it.
