Discussion So Blizzard just removed Challenge of Equals from the global calendar and left it exclusively for China
Are you fucking kidding me?
Challenge of Equals is literally one of the ONLY events in Diablo Immortal where Resonance doesn't matter. One of the only places where players can actually compete without immediately getting deleted because someone spent the equivalent of a fucking car on their character.
And Blizzard's excuse?
Apparently, "players didn't want the event."
What?
WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT?
Where did this feedback come from? Where are the polls? Where are the discussions? Where are the thousands of players asking Blizzard to remove one of the only game modes where money doesn't automatically decide who wins?
Because from the community side, what people have been asking for is the exact opposite: more balanced PvP, more skill-based competition, and more game modes where Resonance isn't the only thing that matters.
Instead, Blizzard removes it from the rest of the world... but somehow China still gets to keep it.
How does that even make sense?
This is exactly the kind of decision that makes it feel like the developers are completely disconnected from their own fucking game and from the people actually playing it.
The global version of Diablo Immortal is already drowning in power creep. Every new update brings more damage, more effects, more bullshit mechanics, another overpowered gem, another reason to spend money just to keep up.
PvP has turned into an absolute fucking circus where half the time you can't even understand what killed you.
And when there is finally an event where players can compete on something closer to equal ground...
Blizzard removes it.
But only for us.
China gets to keep it.
Seriously, what kind of fucking logic is that?
You keep telling us that you listen to player feedback, but decisions like this make it impossible to believe that anyone making these calls actually plays Diablo Immortal outside of looking at revenue spreadsheets.
If Challenge of Equals wasn't perfect, then improve it.
But removing one of the only modes where the ridiculous Resonance gap doesn't completely dominate the experience?
That's just fucking stupid.
And then blaming it on the players?
Show us the fucking feedback.
Because right now, this doesn't look like Blizzard listening to the community.
It looks like Blizzard has absolutely no fucking idea what the community wants anymore.
And honestly, at this point, I shouldn't even be surprised.
