On-Death Effects Causing Growing Frustrations

Players have been expressing their on-going frustrations with on-death effects. Earlier today a thread on the Battle.net forums titled "Death Effects Need a Serious Rework - They are Killing the Fun". This is where players discussed how on-death effects are ruining their gameplay experience, specifically mentioning red ghosts, flying swords, explosions and more. These can definitely ruin the experience as players are constantly dodging or ending up dead from these.

Blizzard has Responded

On this thread, a blue post from Community Manager Lyricana stated, "While I can’t give specifics yet, this is something we’ll be addressing. We’ve heard the feedback loud and clear, and agree that dying to these things isn’t a great experience". Now that this issue is confirmed to be on their radar, players can hope that some changes for this will be coming in the hopeful near future.

Stay Tuned

As there are no details or timeline on what they will specifically be addressing, we will wait until we hear more. But stay tuned, because as soon as we know we will share an update here!
