Two aspects of the up to 72-hour waiting period digitally purchased versions of Diablo III now undergo before full functionality are unintended, Blizzard tells Kotaku, and will be addressed "as soon as possible." The delay (which they say can be as short as one day) is to allow them to process credit card information before allowing unverified accounts the ability to buy and sell items and access areas of the game where commerce is conducted. But it is not intended to impede player's progress as it currently does. Here's word: However, as an unintended consequence of these security measures, players who purchase the game digitally after patch 1.0.3 are temporarily being capped at level 13 and not able to proceed beyond Act I. We are working to correct this as soon as possible and will provide another update when we have more details to share.

Ņone of this sounds like your typical big corporation arrogance to me. "Headless chickens" was mentioned earlier and all of Blizzard's behavior recently smacks of this exact thing. Seemingly gone is the Blizzard swagger and confidence of the earlier years, replaced by what looks more and more like anti-consumer policies, reactionary panic moves and a distinct lack of competence. It all adds up to the fact that Blizzard today is not the Blizzard we knew in the Warcraft/Starcraft days. At the risk of using a tired cliche, this is not the Blizzard you are looking for. Blizzard and Bioware both - how damn discouraging is that.
Well, this isn't their prime team, or even in California, for one. So it sounds more like Blizzard said to Bliz North "Just go do whatever the fuck you want to do. Revenues are down 10% in WoW, we expect you to make that up."
Then Blizzard went and snorted coke off of strippers' asses or something for 10 years and BN just did their thing.
Then Blizzard looked up from their coke-addled stupor, rubbing their gums, and said "customer support? Shit you'd think we'd have that by now, fire half of them..." and went off to do another line. |
