Diablo 2 Resurrected players blast \u201cunacceptable\u201d Necromancer visuals Blizzard EntertainmentDiablo 2 Resurrected\u2019s Necromancer is one of the game\u2019s most popular classes, but the lackluster animation for his iconic Corpse Explosion ability has underwhelmed players. As players across Sanctuary dive into Blizzard\u2019s highly anticipated remaster, Diablo 2 Resurrected, many are choosing the mysterious Necromancer as their warrior of choice. With the ability to raise the dead and set them against the hordes of hell, the Summoner class works well for both mage and tank players alike. It turns out, though, that the character\u2019s new and supposedly improved Corpse Explosion ability has left fans feeling a little frosty, especially as it\u2019s at the core of many of his builds. Diablo 2 Resurrected\u2019s Necromancer isn\u2019t a hit Despite being one of the most highly anticipated characters coming into Diablo 2 Resurrected as he was unavailable in the open beta, certain incantations from the Necromancer\u2019s black magic grimoire have left players feeling a little cheated. The spell in question is Corpse Explosion which, as the name suggests, harnesses the dying anguish of the undead to raise them once more and transform them into a ticking time bomb. Resurrecting these ill-fated cadavers at the heart of a demonic horde can wipe enemies out instantly, hence it has become one of the Necromancer\u2019s best damage abilities. While you\u2019d expect blood, guts, and gore to be hurled across the battlefield, it seems as though this isn\u2019t the case in Resurrected, with the body simply exploding into bones with a firey animation. \u201cCorpse explosion has a horrible animation,\u201d writes one angry player. \u201cThe bodies fade out while a stock explosion awkwardly materializes near it.\u201d Another writes \u201cI would be OK with it if they\u2019d only bump the blood\/gore splatter by approximately 666% and reducing the fire explosion by 50%. The fire should probably be there to some extent because it\u2019s half fire damage, but now it\u2019s overwhelming.\u201d \u201cThis is actually unacceptably bad,\u201d rages a final commenter. \u201cThis is clearly a placeholder because anyone who\u2019s actually played the God damn class understands it\u2019s the corpse exploding and not a literal explosion.\u201d While we praised Blizzard\u2019s enhanced animations in our official review of the game, it will be interesting to see whether or not they take the time to implement this feedback into the Necromancer\u2019s in-game combat. After all, it\u2019s Diablo, and the community wants blood, blood, blood!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
