More curious, the delay follows a ban for Diablo Immortal's official Weibo account - China's major social network site. The last-minute delay has raised eyebrows, especially in the wake of headlines surrouding Diablo Immortal's monetisation practices. Yesterday, that no longer became the case, as local publisher NetEase claimed in a brief statetement that it now needed to 'optimise' the game's experience. I definitely suggest you watch his full video on the topic below which is very good.Diablo Immortal has had its high-profile Chinese release pulled, just four days before it was due to become available.īlizzard's free-to-play dungeon crawler was set to launch in China on 23rd June. Here, however, those kinds of die-hard players are being left out in the cold in favor of ones who agree to pay vast sums of money.Īs for echohack, he’s determined to keep playing, he’s just sad about this decision. Granted, more casual players may not hit many of these caps, and yet Diablo is all about catering to hardcore grinders, normally. That’s absolutely wild, and I’m trying to imagine games like Borderlands or Destiny just…ceasing to drop legendary or exotic gear because you’ve gotten too many other drops in a set period of time.

But the game will literally dramatically reduce legendary gear drops if you get too many in a day. Keep in mind that all of these caps are in place for the “free grind” aspects of the game, yet there’s nothing stopping you from running infinite Rifts with bought Legendary Crests to hunt gems.

For some of these, you can complete an event and get a treasure chests where quite literally nothing comes out of it. The problem becomes since all these caps are hidden, if you’re playing a lot of Diablo Immortal in a given day, you have to keep a mental tally of how many drops you’ve gotten or how many events you’ve completed in order to not trigger these caps and find yourself in a diminishing returns black hole where you’re essentially playing for nothing.
