Perhaps Microsoft will never forget the importance of being transparent and delivering correct information to its fan community, because Activision Blizzard was somewhat embarrassed when it removed a video about Season 2 ofDiablo 4from its official channels. The video itself only served as a teaser for ‘Season of Blood‘, but it was full of errors and inaccuracies quickly noticed by players.
With no way out, the decision was to remove the video, possibly to correct it and deliver it later in the correct way, and in the meantime,Diablo 4players continued to wait after the embarrassment.
Microsoft Receives Criticism After Another Mistake From Activision Blizzard That Removed a Diablo 4 Video
Blizzard chose shame after two bizarre mistakes in a row by first posting an error-filled video detailingDiablo 4‘s Season of Blood changes on Twitter/X, which was then abruptly removed from social channels.
Now, under the Microsoft umbrella, Activision Blizzard has accountability for its mistakes, and slips like these make the situation much worse, even more so with just a few days left until the start date of this second season of the game, which increases the excitement and disappointment of fans.
Deadly vampiric powers give the name to this new season, which arrives after a very stable first season of one of the most acclaimed RPGs of the year. We can’t say the same about the second. In addition to a troubled revelation with this video, changes requested by players arrive together with additional content to occupy the players’ minds, which will be very important, especially now that this attempted sale was a plan that backfired.
The post on Twitter/X said,“Check out some of the best quality-of-life changes coming with Season of Blood”and showed a 1-minute and 40-second video showing the changes and even more bugs. As pointed out by streamer Ryan ‘Raxxanterax‘ S, aDiabloplayer on Twitch, the reveal was full of obvious inaccuracies. As someone accustomed to the scenario, he can’t contain his laughter when commenting on Blizzard’s sales attempts.
The first tragicomic error is a ‘before and after‘ comparison of theDiablo 4 Nightmare Dungeonsendings in Season 1 and Season 2, but it turns out the layout has been reversed and shows the second season as the ‘before‘ and the old one as the ‘later,‘ a basic error quickly noticed in minimal revisions, which were probably rushed or not done at all. Everything gets worse when the video shows experience gains, which in the video have completely wrong math calculations.
Elsewhere, the video shows the new montage speed adjustments with the character in the middle of the screen in both clips, which makes it very difficult to understand how fast you are moving. The entire video is very disjointed, and it’s even surprising to imagine how something like this was produced and posted without anyone raising any comments.
Examples like this denote obvious precarious working conditions for those who produced the video and possibly in the game as well.
Things like this happen when a product is rushed in favor of profit instead of quality delivered to the consumer. It remains to be seen whether the new season will also arrive full of errors, just like the video in the hands of the players. Is it just a mistake in marketing or in the developer as a whole? We’ll find out soon enough when the launch begins to be evaluated.
