Diablo 4 Fans Once Again Call for Offline Mode After DDoS Attack Renders Game Unplayable for Hours - IGN
www.ign.comBlizzard spent much of Sunday battling a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that rendered Diablo 4 and other Battle.net games unplayable for hours. Now, players are once again calling for an offline mode.
Don’t you just love online-only games with shaky servers? The same exact thing happened with Diablo 3’s launch.

Isn’t it so that if you play hardcore mode (your character dies permanently), and you disconnect for any reason, your character is considered dead? Online only requirement goes really well for that kind of game mode, where it might be the server that falls offline, and not your PC…
Yup… And it’s already happened: https://www.pcgamesn.com/diablo-4/first-hardcore-100-death
Imagine having that happen to you and somehow having the willpower to do it again. The dark side of playing games for a living.
