…you either love it, or hate it, right?
I was loving LOH. Now…not so much. They’ve crafted a beautiful expansion, and ticked a lot of boxes. Don’t even get me started on the story. I just wish they were as strong on the technical side of things.
I play couch co-op on Xbox. Tonight, in the space of 4 hours, player 2 got thrown out of the game at least 5 times. This has been a known issue since the base game launched! I was disconnected once, and then just as Inarius was about to die, poof! The game disconnects us both, and fully resets the quest. Apparently this is one of several possible known bugs that can happen in this quest… So we went to bed tired, frustrated and a little angry.
Remind me again why this was built as a live service game? If I could play offline, there would never be a dodgy Blizzard server to disconnect from. Maybe just the occasional crash, like in the good old days. And yes - it’s definitely the Blizzard servers - my fibre connection is strong and stable.
So, Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred. I loved you, and now I hate you. Perhaps tomorrow I may love you again. Let’s see what the servers and code have in store for us…
