Blizzard spent much of Sunday battling a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that rendered Diablo 4 and other Battle.net games unplayable for hours. Now, players are once again calling for an offline mode.
Don't you just love online-only games with shaky servers? The same exact thing happened with Diablo 3's launch.
Isn't it so that if you play hardcore mode (your character dies permanently), and you disconnect for any reason, your character is considered dead? Online only requirement goes really well for that kind of game mode, where it might be the server that falls offline, and not your PC...
Honestly, after how successful Diablo Immoral was I'm not surprised that fans would buy this and play it (specifically on hardcore mode). They're too far gone, and it's too big to fail. They could announce phone number verification requirements and D4 would still have a healthy player base.
