David Brevik about D2R "Issues"

Roasted…

If somebody really doesn’t understand the sarcasm in this short clip:

“if only they had somebody that they could ask, who knew the server code…”
“wonder who that would have been”
“if only they could have reached out to somebody that understood how it worked”
“if only they had someone who knew the code backwards and forwards in the game”

Of course they are referring to Brevik and the original Blizzard North Team. Basically saying, Activision/Blizzard screwed up hard again, by not asking some people who knew what they are doing.

Apparently, there was an update on the topic:

I don’t know that there was a ‘roast’ in there. I kept waiting for a ‘good one’, but it was over, real fast.

It was subtle with “If only there was someone who knew the old server code.”

i mean, that is a valid point, i still don’t interpret it is a ‘roast’.

And if that’s their idea of a roast, comedy central would like to have a word…

Listen man…

“if only they had somebody that they could ask, who knew the server code…”
“wonder who that would have been”
“if only they could have reached out to somebody that understood how it worked”
“if only they had someone who knew the code backwards and forwards in the game”

The sarcasm level here is well over 9000. Its obvious what they are saying here essentially.

While I agree about the misuse of the term “roast” five OP a break it’s Sunday… good day for a roast…

If you’re looking for me I’m already outside.

Yeah, I agree it wasn’t much of a “Roast” it was more of a passive aggressive burn.

Last I heard, Brevik WAS approached over the years, and he consistently said no.

lol, ok, fair enough, but yea, i just don’t think its ‘roast’ worthy.

Now , some of the comments around here sure have been.

Source?

This wouldn’t surprise me, but i mean, hearing and truth are two different things. Who knows.

Ignorance is bliss.

Why I am looking a that cheap game at the video? What did he said that was „roasting“?

May have intentionally trolled, i mean, does anyone at this point not know these names? I guess its possible though. Actually, im sure it is. Theres a few people out there that just don’t care about that stuffs.

david brevik always said it was impossible to update the game. consistently

Technically, he was right.
They didn’t touch the game or the code, they created an overlay.

Hopefully no one from Blizz responds to David like Jay Wilson did 10 years ago:

I suppose this is half the reason why i was let down expecting a roast… They are all in professional environments to this day, so, p’s and q’s are a thing.

I get that they feel they should have been reached out about the server issues, but in all honestly, the current Devs most likely didn’t need to reach out to them and I feel their comments are more just an outcry for attention because they feel left out of their creation they made long ago, but that is their opinion. Even if they did reach out to them for help on this and they provided the help and the problem continued, what then? Would it be their fault for trying to help or would it still be the current Devs fault?
