- youre dumb if you think people arent going to play this game the exact same way as they did the original. so, in a sense, this is old d2.
- they put these blocks in to help them slow people down so its easier for them to implement fixes so people can farm they even said that these ques are temporary and will only remain in place until they can make a more reliable service for people playing the game the way its meant to be played.
just because you say something, doesnt make it true.
sources:Diablo II: Resurrected Outages: An explanation, how we’ve been working on it, and how we’re moving forward see “Rate limiting” Paragraph in the “What we are doing about it” Portion. it says “We are limiting the number of operations to the database around creating and joining games, and we know this is being felt by a lot of you. For example, for those of you doing Pindleskin runs, you’ll be in and out of a game and creating a new one within 20 seconds. In this case, you will be rate limited at a point. When this occurs, the error message will say there is an issue communicating with game servers: this is not an indicator that game servers are down in this particular instance, it just means you have been rate limited to reduce load temporarily on the database, in the interest of keeping the game running. We can assure you this is just mitigation for now–we do not see this as a long-term fix.”
