Evidently, the international players also felt that the game was getting boring in the later stages. As a game that focused on grinding and slashing, the later stages of Diablo were very monotonous. This was something most players could tell.
The other part of the criticism came from the Chinese players.
News of Diablo's international release spread like wildfire among the Chinese Diablo players.
"Have you heard? Diablo's international release."
"Didn't Chen Mo just release Don't Starve not too long ago? He's pretty busy, isn't he?"
"But I'm so pissed. Diablo is clearly an unfinished game. Did he give up on us Chinese players? Is he going to release a DLC or not? Is he hoping to make some money and run away after releasing the international release? "
"Yeah, I'm pissed too. He's developing Don't Starve and releasing the international release, why doesn't he make a DLC if he has the energy to do so! He's making us Diablo players feel like they're being raised by a stepmother! I'm pissed! "
"No, I'm going to scold Chen Mo on Weibo!"
"Geez, whatever. It's a single player game to begin with. What's there to be dissatisfied with after seeing such awesome cinematics? If you're really bored, you can play Don't Starve instead."
"I don't like these types of games, I just want to farm in Diablo!"
"Didn't the players give so many suggestions? The posts on the forums are already pushed up to sixty pages. I want to know if Chen Mo saw them and if he listened to the players!"
"I don't think so. Why else would there be no news? He's probably too full of himself! "
"I'm pissed!"
"No, I'm going to look for Chen Mo in the experience store and ask him what he's thinking!"
…
The release of Diablo's overseas version caused dissatisfaction among the players to a certain extent. Although the development of the overseas version and the DLC were done at the same time, the players didn't know about it, nor did they want to know about it.
All they wanted was a DLC that satisfied them, a new way to play Diablo for a longer period of time.
Many complaining posts on the forum were pushed to the top, and many players were expressing their dissatisfaction.
In the studio.
Chen Mo asked as he scrolled through the private messages and comments on Weibo, "Qian Kun, can you finish developing Reaper of Souls this week? I'm afraid that if I don't do it, my life might be in danger. "
Qian Kun held his forehead. It can't be, right? The players can't even wait for two to three weeks? "
Chen Mo said, "I feel like I'm suffocating. It's been three months now, and most of the Diablo players are tired of the story mode, mainly because of the low drop rate. Many hardcore players are tired of it, let alone the normal players. "
Qian Kun nodded. "Alright, I got it. The functions are almost done, but the balance between the skills of the two new classes isn't done well. I'll work overtime and try to finish everything by the end of the week."
Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder, "Thanks for your hard work. Once Reaper of Souls is done, Diablo can be put on hold."
Qian Kun nodded. "Alright, don't worry, Manager. I'll definitely finish it on time."
Chen Mo went back to the experience store after confirming the development progress and felt that it should be done by the end of the week.
Zheng Hongxi said to Qian Kun, "I feel like you're placing a lot of importance on Reaper of Souls, but I have a question. Apart from the two new classes and a new chapter, the main gameplay is the Hidden Realms and the Stairway System. Can these really extend the lifespan of the game?"
Qian Kun said, "From your perspective, it should be useful. The Stairway System is a competitive system after all, just like the leaderboards of other games. It encourages the players to compete and show off, which will definitely extend the playtime of the players. But to be honest, I think these two features are a bit too simple. Basically, it's just a new dungeon and a leaderboard. These aren't complicated features, and there's so much content in the game. Won't the players get bored of it? "
Zheng Hongxi thought for a bit, "Then, what about the season system? What about the expert mode? "
Qian Kun said, "I think the expert mode is a bit of a novelty at the beginning, but it's definitely a niche audience. After all, the frustration is too much, and you'll have to start all over again after dying. With Diablo's difficulty, there's probably not a lot of players who would like to be tortured like that, right? "
"The season system is actually quite compatible with the Stairway System, but I think it's just a bit of a novelty at the beginning. It's hard to say how useful it'll be."
Zheng Hongxi said, "Yeah, I can only say that the limitations of the game are too tight. It's a single player game to begin with, and it's too difficult to extend the lifespan of the game by a few months or even a year or two."
Qian Kun said, "You know what? Whatever, let's just get the DLC out first. "
…
After a week of overtime, Reaper of Souls was finally completed.
At the same time that Reaper of Souls was released on Thunderbolt Gaming Platform, Chen Mo also made a long Weibo post in response to the doubts of the players.
