Player spends $100,000 on Diablo Immortal and breaks game’s matchmaking


Investment made character so powerful that he can’t find PvP matches

While Blizzard claims that Diablo Immortal can be played from start to finish without the need to purchase microtransactions, they make a big difference in the game — for good and for bad. After spending approx. $100k in gamecontent creator jtisallbusiness stated that this made his character break the matchmaking system.

According to him, the result of the investment was a character so powerful that he can no longer be level-paired with other people. Thus, the advantages he would have in modes such as PvP end up not being able to be used, since there is no way to enter a valid game at the moment.

In a video posted on YouTube, the content creator explains that he is considering asking for a refund of the amount invested — something that, if granted, would basically invalidate your Diablo Immortal account. He claims to have been in direct contact with Blizzard, who promised to look into the matter, but so far have not come up with any solutions for it.

Overspending can be a problem
“I can’t do the things I spent money on this character to do, and I don’t have a deadline on when things will actually be fixed, or even know if they’ll be fixed because I’m the only player in the entire world with this issue.”, stated jtisallbusiness.

the content creator is not the only Diablo Immortal player to have invested generous sums into the game. In June of this year, the streamer Quin69 stated that he spent $15,000 on microtransactions before getting a single 5-star Legendary Gem, deleting the game and his account shortly thereafter in protest.

Despite the large investments of jtisallbusiness, estimates indicate that the creator is still far from being able to maximize his character. Community calculations show that, due to the game’s random systems, doing this is a task that can cost up to $500,000.

God mode in many games is not new.

The genius who monetized this for blizzard deserves his paycheck.

Blizzard already made 100m on this game.

A sign of the future to come. Sigh.

For gacha game players, after kalah judi didn't get unit they wanted,terus chargeback their cc before uninstall the game. Quite common among western players.

And then they wonder why some game developers from East treated global version of their games as anak tiri compared to their origin countries.

Yea man. PvP should stats normalized and skill based instead.

The only difference can included is item effect, say legendary equipment have better effect.

Attack and Def should be normalized.

Some of them even pretend that their son used their credit card to buy mtx and want to refund because of their "son" mistake.

With that kind of money, he should have just play World of Warcraft.
Form his own guild and hire some Pro-players to do PVP arena and rated BGs.

Why play Diablo Immortal competitively ??? Why ? Diablo has always been a single player game & Co-op game.
Not exactly a competitive PVP game lolz.

ehh $100k lose to SEA players from indon and thai. Ragnarox X the top whalers spend RM few million on their character, can gacha 1 Camry but still get nothing. Many ppls dont know cause less ppl playing he game now and not reported. But since i personally play it and watch the streamers, we know these ppl spent few mills, malaysia got a few ppl. but not as rich as thai or indon payers.
