Expansion is good. Expansion is also a broken mess

PC General Discussion

Let’s face it. This is bad, even by modern Blizzard standards. Last time we had a launch this bad it was probably Diablo 3.

Before the predictable ‘update drivers/fix hardware/reinstall Windows/buy a RTX 4090 or get out skill issue’ posts: 2 week old 4080 based PC, fully up to date drivers.

  • Last second delay.
  • Ray tracing broken, giving horrible performance and crashes in new outdoor areas.
  • Framegen disabled.
  • Issues with Eternal.
  • Cosmetics from previous seasons do not work on Spritborn.
  • Server crashes resetting entire quest chains (this is so… so annoying).
  • Anticlimactic ending.
  • Weird post processing on edges of screen. Cannot be disabled.

I could go on.

There are issues for sure. But I’m still having fun.

This. I can’t remember the last Diablo game OR XPac that’s had a true non-ending like this.

I’m kind of glad I stopped playing for the night, servers are up and down and there’s a new issue whenever they do.

I cannot believe the performance drops post expansion. Game was fairly stable on monday and now this crap show slog fest. Was getting constant 200 fps before and now im getting dips into the 90s. I really hope they can turn this around and that they have way more content/bosses/expansions planned cause that ending was dog.

It’s kind of insane. Although 90fps is still silky.

They need to stop enabling ray tracing and cross play every time a new patch comes in. It breaks some players systems and not everyone knows to turn those off.

Fine with most of your points but whats with the past season cosmetics psyop thing? The class didnt exist when those sets were made.

That is the definition of good?

11

And? I cannot think of another modern game with battlepass style cosmetics that releases a new character while locking out ALL of them.

got a 4070 78003xd no issues at all. but i di dnot updAte my drivers yet.

Resolution? Are you using ray tracing or DLSS?

Sure, it’s understandable, but also generally expected that they would adapt the heavily paid for MTX to adapt to new content. For most stuff it’s just a slider. If they continue to show they have no intention to carry old MTX forward as they introduce new classes I think they will find they sell fewer MTX.

I mean, the game runs just fine on my mid-range graphics card.

I don’t see how a broken mess can be good. I mean, I guess because releasing broken games is the new norm and people are used to it now?

The issue is ray tracing and some DLSS stuff.

Tons of great things, tons of bugs and BS.

Blizzard as a company, even on World of Warcraft seems to just release the game as it is, and fix major issues on the live version. I’ve learned for future releases to just play a few months after major releases. Shame really. And disappointing.

I keep getting a black screen whenever I teleport from anywhere. I keep losing great stuff.
Frustrating as Hell.
