Durant les hauts et les bas de Diablo 3, même quand plus aucun développeur ne postait sur les forums officiels et qu'aucune annonce n'était faite, Nevalistis continuait de répondre aux joueurs et d'assurer du mieux qu'elle pouvait la communication entre le studio et la communauté. C'est aussi à elle que nous devons la majorité des blogs et messages officiels en anglais. D'après son message de départ sur les forums et sur Twitter, elle ne part pas fâchée ou mécontente de chez Blizzard, elle a simplement décidé de suivre une opportunité de carrière. En un sens, elle remonte aux origines de la licence, puisque Diablo premier du nom est lourdement inspiré de Donjons & Dragons. Peut-être aurez-vous l'occasion de croiser ses messages et annonces si vous suivez Baldur's Gate 3, comme le studio Larian est en partenariat avec Wizards of the Coast sur ce projet.
March 27, 2020 will be my final day as Diablo Community Manager, and at Blizzard Entertainment. I’m not leaving for any ill reasons; my team here has always been understanding and kind, every developer I’ve had the honor of interacting with has been delightfully passionate, and the decision to leave was ultimately mine alone. I have an opportunity to explore a new and very different adventure, and if you’re curious about that, I’ll share more about it on my personal channels. Sometimes, opportunity presents itself and you just gotta roll the dice.
What I want to focus on is expressing my gratitude to this community 717 . For welcoming me when I stumbled in at the announcement of Reaper of Souls. For making me feel at home as I was trembling on livestream, fighting stage fright while introducing the expansion to the world. For all the smiles, high-fives, hugs, and selfies at conventions (especially BlizzCon). For the absolute conviction and passion for Sanctuary that I see in every player’s post, whether it’s excitement over the latest Season or constructive criticism for your favorite class. Regardless of highs and lows, this is one of the best communities out there, and the heart of it is warm, caring, and filled with people who just want more Diablo.
Thank you for permitting me to be a part of your community. Thank you for reading my weird blogs 333 and tolerating my terrible puns and memes. And thank you for staying awhile to listen. I’ve had an incredible opportunity learn and grow as person that I’ll carry with me the rest of my life, and I can’t wait to delve the depths of the Burning Hells and face down the mother of Sanctuary alongside the rest of you.
Lastly, rest assured that the Diablo community will be left in good hands. I’ve spent a fair amount of my final weeks here preparing to pass the torch to those who will follow in my footsteps and working with the team here to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible. You won’t be left unheard or unacknowledged, but please be understanding while the next folks get settled in. We’re all here to battle the demons of Hell together, after all!
I’ll see you in Sanctuary, adventurers.
