Blizzard stops with the development of the Team Deathmatch part of Diablo III. At the beginning of 2013 there will be a patch for the game that a duel mode is included. The studio goes back to the drawing board and other games think of for the rpg.
Diablo III producer Jay Wilson tries to in a blog on Battle.net the portal for all Blizzard games, to explain why the studio with the development of Team Deathmatch is stopped. The game could be the last year at various trade fairs by visitors to be played, but Wilson thinks that the game mode does not meet the high standards that Blizzard itself. Wilson left the game both internally and externally extensive testing and came to the conclusion that too many testers stated that Team Deathmatch no more than a few hours was fun, but that they would no longer play. Also found the producer of the difficult to the five classes from the game with each other in balance. Wilson is with the development of the skills of the classes based on the play of the campaign and has not taken into account with the fighting between the five classes, and will be for Team Deathmatch is also not too much changes in the existing properties of the classes.
Wilson, however, wants to still meet the needs of Diablo III players who compete against each other want to take. In early 2013, patch 1.0.7 of the game and that makes a duel between two players. Wilson is going to then think about what alternatives he can come up with for Team Deathmatch, although he closes not out of the game in a new form later in the game ends up.
