So what happened exactly? No one knows Diablo IV Gold , as the reason given is simply "environment", though we're likely looking at the power of bullshit. Some fans believe that the lightning zap that appears due to hardcore mod didn't disappear while Quinn was on the loading screen, though the immunity bubble did, meaning that their health slowly whittled away without them being able to do much about it. 

Since the new Diablo game launched, Blizzard has cranked out several hotfixes already, with the latest fixing bugs with PvP and standout bosses. Not every death is done to misfortune, though – a recent set of stats revealed that the Butcher has claimed nearly 6 million players in one week, which means that 2% of all Diablo 4 player deaths are down to one Big Bad. If only some of them had been standing in an invulnerability sphere under the protection of an Elixir of Death Evasion.

Diablo 4 keeps breaking its concurrency records as Blizzard gears up for an "expected surge" in player numbers this weekend. 

Following a brief early access period, Diablo 4 released in full on June 5, and since then, players have been delving into Sanctuary in droves, so much so that it's setting a new concurrency record "every day".

That's according to Diablo franchise general manager Rod Fergusson who, yesterday, took to Twitter to express his gratitude for the game's immense popularity. "Thank you to all of our players!" he said. "Every day is a new concurrency record for us and can't wait to see what happens this weekend!"

In a Tweet earlier today, Fergusson acknowledged the server issues that have seen Diablo 4 taken offline multiple times since its initial launch last week. But far from being put off by the teething problems, players have continued to flock to the latest entry in the acclaimed action-RPG series in record numbers. This weekend marks the first that Diablo 4 will be playable for all, regardless of what version you own, and naturally, Blizzard expects the player numbers to rise even further over the next few days. "Really appreciate your patience as we continue to cheap Diablo IV Items hit record highs for concurrency and prepare for the expected surge this weekend," Fergusson said.
