Yes I agree. But not shortly after it was stable ONCE it was stable.
According to Blizzard, is the game stable?
As of mid-December, Blizzard was still testing fixes for the game/server.
If the game isnât stable refunds are long over due. So either itâs stable and they lied or a 5 month old game isnât stable and refunds are owed. Take your pick.
Also does this mean you have realized what once means in that sentence or still not yet?
I would say that the game was decently stable in December, given the size of the playerbase. Anyone who purchased the game could play it without significant issues.
I bet that Blizzard also knows that given the expected increase in players if they launched ladder, the game would not be stable.
So the answer is not black and white. It can be true that a game is stable with its current server load and would not be stable if there was a mass influx of players.
In terms of refunds, you can still play D2R without ladder today and have access to all the runewords.
Let me flip your argument on its head. Blizzard is introducing new runewords in the D2R ladder, should I be able to refund the game because of that? Of course I can not, since I agreed to the EULA/ToS when I purchased the game.
Well you just told me the game isnât stable. Which is it? I was able to kill Ubers in October with no server issues whatsoever. The game has been stable for a long time. The reality is players were misled on when ladder would be out and I believe anyone that disagrees with that statement is naive at best.
Edit. Not sure what runewords have to do with anything. Thatâs not the appeal of ladder to me. Can I play ladder? No. I realize Iâll never get a refund but that doesnât mean I donât think itâs warranted
The game to me at least appears stable with its current playerbase.
I do not know what Blizzardâs data shows.
I do not know if the game would be stable with a significant influx of players. It may be or may not. Blizzard knows better than I.
Think of it this way. Currently, the four lane highway can handle the traffic. I do not know if they double the number of cars, if it still will be able to handle the traffic.
So then again itâs either stable and without ladder. Meaning They lied. Or not stable which is also not acceptable. Take your pick.
Edit. Still waiting on the post where people said March or April for ladder pre launch. Since I should have known better even though literally no one knew better
Are you serious?
The game needs to be stable enough to accommodate the stress of the ladder and not a diminished playerbase.
Look it up yourself. See the magnifying glass icon in the top right. Go to the old forum and use it.
Iâm not looking up your claim. My claim is it doesnât exist. I canât show every post so I canât prove but only be disproven.
Rod says Ladder will be turned on once everything is stableâŚ
Itâs been 5 months and everything is so stable that the game is nearly dead.
Maybe thatâs what he actually meant. Ladder will be turned on once everyone quits.

As is Blizzard tradition. Their games slowly but surely and steadily die, then they release the next season or ladder or patch or expansion and suddenly it comes back to life, until the cycle repeats, ad nauseum, for like 20 years this has been their MO, so it should come as no surprise.
Why would I waste more of my time?
I already provided images of both Rodâs and Adamâs tweet that you initially misinterpreted or ignored. Also, I provided links to multiple news stories as further proof. You falsely claimed that Rodâs tweet was ambiguous and that the other information was post-release even though Adamâs tweets was on September 13 and the news stories that were also pre-release. Then, I went through each tweet sentence by sentence since you misunderstood, including the meaning of âonceâ in context.
P.S. I even did some forum searches to help you out and restricted it to posts made before September 22.

God you are illiterate. Itâs painful. There is 100% chance you have struggled with standardized tests regarding reading comprehension. I never said the tweets were after sept 23. I said the information about when servers were actually stable was not available prior to launch. I literally posted your first tweet prior to you and you STILL donât understand the English. His phrase clearly says it will be shortly after launch once they are stable to anyone whose first language is English.
Why would you take the time to find the posts you claim exist? Why would you reply 50 times often ignoring my questions or points while arguing things I never said (like you did again here suggesting I said the tweets were post launch. Hint - I never said that). If you have the time to post this many times. Post vague search results and still not post even one specific post thatâs telling that you canât. You have spent far more time on this thread than would be needed to do so. Go learn middle school English and get back to me
Are you doing your homework at 5 pm
I will do my homework shortly after once I finish eating.
I will do my homework shortly after I finish eating.
Do you still not know the difference of these two sentences? Really?
Iâll spell it out for the remedial student. Replace homework with ladder. Replace 5 pm with launch. Replace eating with stable servers. If you still canât deduce that the sentence with once means the ladder will be shortly after launch once the servers are stable and not that it will be shortly after the servers are stable you are beyond illiterate.
Blizzard was abundantly clear that ladder would only launch after the D2R game/servers stabilized.
Did I ever say they would do ladder prior to stable servers? As per usual you are arguing against points Iâm not making. I am saying that as soon as the servers were stable they claimed they would launch ladder. Not a while after. You keep making points against things Iâm not saying and itâs extremely frustrating. Like arguing with a toddler.
Edit. First tweet says Once they are stable. Not after. Second tweet says with the patch to fix the errors not at a separate time. You are suggesting that they would fix the servers and then a while later do ladder. No where does their tweet suggest that.
Are the servers stable according to Blizzardâs metrics?
Wrong. WRONG.
Rodâs tweet reads : âWe want to make sure the game is stable and ready for ladder before we turn that on. So it wonât be there for launch but will come shortly after once everything settles down.â

I have no idea. Whatâs your point? Are you arguing against any of my points or try making ANOTHER unrelated argument that you think refutes a claim and doesnât.
I have already discussed this. Personally for my game experience, the game seemed decently stable in mid-December. Given Blizzardâs PTR testing of their database changes to improve server stability in December, Blizzard did not share my viewpoint. Since they have their server metrics, I believe their conclusion rather than mine.
Iâm very aware of the exact wording. Iâve broken it down in another example with the same wording that you canât seem to grasp. This is above your iq unfortunately. His sentence is akin to saying ladder will be shortly after launch, once the servers are stable. Are you really this bad at reading comprehension? Like you hurt my head. Itâs clearly saying it will be shortly after launch.
The once is giving the timing. Like it will be out once the servers are stable. You wouldnât say it will be out after once it is stable. That doesnât make sense. After and once donât go together. Serious question. Is English your first language and did the public school system fail you?
