Diablo 4’s “dead” servers have fans joking they’ve discovered “single-player mode”
Diablo 4 has become a ghost town for one gamer. Screenshots posted by the player show a shockingly barren multiplayer landscape.
Diablo 4players have beenpronouncing the game deadsince shortly after the launch of its first season. While hyperbole at first, the game’sabysmal Twitch viewershipis proof of a growing lack of interest.
While Diablo 4 can be an engaging game with fantastic ARPG mechanics and interesting build-crafting, players have cited alack of contentandpoor itemizationas major faults of late.
There’s still a desire for an improved Diablo 4 experience withplayers begging Blizzard for a major overhaul in Season 2to revive the game. To illustrate its current state at the tail end of Season 1, Reddit useru/eazy937has posted some screenshots of what they call “single-player mode”.
The series of screenshots posted to Diablo 4’s Subreddit show the popular thoroughfares of Ked Bardu devoid of other players. This is one of Diablo 4’s major cities and they’re ordinarily filled with gamers doing the busywork common in ARPGs.
Highly trafficked areas like the blacksmith, closet, and occultist show no other players. From the release of Diablo 4 until even the mid-point of the first season, these areas were bustling with decked-out characters showing off their gear.
Other users in the thread weren’t surprised at the images with one explaining that Diablo 4 is “just dead”. While the replies were full of discussion about the game’s shortcomings, many players were still hopeful for a turnaround.
