"We reached out to our third-party partners to offer assistance also," PezRadar said.Ironically, it seems that Blizzard's determination to provide an authentic Diablo 2 experience in the remake is the primary cause of all the issues D2R Ladder Items. One "legacy service" in particular handles critical functions including "game creation/joining, updating/reading/filtering game lists, verifying game server health, and reading characters from the database."
It was upgraded and optimized for Diablo 2: Resurrected but is still rooted in 20-year-old technology and has difficulty being up-to date "modern game play."
"In 2001, there wasn't nearly as lots of information available on the internet on the game of Diablo 2 'correctly' (Baal plays for XP or Pindleskin/Ancient sewers for the magic find, etc)," PezRadar said. "Today, however, a novice player can search for an array of incredible content creators who are able to teach them what to do in a variety of ways.
Many of them entail a lot of database load, in the form of creating loading, dismantling, and even destroying games in quick succession. Although we knew this was possible--with players creating fresh characters and servers on the go, struggling to obtain their items of magic to find--we greatly underestimated the scope we derived from testing beta versions."
Another major issue is the regularity of global database saves, that happen way often without a good reason. Blizzard is making some tweaks in order to reduce the frequency of saves in the meantime and is working on D2R Ladder Items Buy a more permanent fix, but it'll be quite a while before it's ready because it's "an architecture redesign which requires time to design and test before implementing."
