Before your MVP rushes in with the copied and pasted sentence “that deleted character cannot be restored”, as if that is some kind of justification for the massive design failure by Blizzard, that significantly impacted many players, please work to fix this issue.
I am extremely disappointed in one of my favorite gaming companies. And I regret purchasing this Blizzard product. What’s worse than the massive fail, is the fact that you put up your one sentence to tell us how you can’t undo it. As if that is any justification.
Why can’t you do what you always did in other games, whether to restore characters or to have a better design from the location of the button to its name and the fact that you are not required to type “delete” such as in other Blizzard products (your own other products)? You also can’t restore. Lovely. And you ignore your customers by repeating that you can’t undo it. What a massive fail.
If you can’t undo it, then at least show some responsibility to your customers and accept refund requests on diablo 2 resurrected for those who request it. Thank You.

Waiting for my friends that come to every thread made by victims of this awful design flaw to come blame the user once again for not reading.
Who could have possibly predicted this would continue to happen!?!

Totally agree! My son did the same on “auto pilot”… was in a rush to close the game… saw the X (which means CLOSE) and just hit it and confirmed (like you have to do anytime you close the game). Whoever made the decision to use an X instead of “DELETE” should be deleted from his job. (oh wait, he probably has been if you’ve been keeping up with the exodus from Bliz)

You will just never get it. So funny.
See you in the next thread friend!

I suppose if you’re not looking at the normal place to close an app in Windows, then yes, the X is easy to click and not read the warning and verify you want to delete the character. So, absolutely 100% user error encouraged by mismanaged real estate.

Sorry about the bad news, and the tragedy that struck you.
But I just came here to see Turdferguson and Seeders exchange.

Just because I don’t think you are right in people not having to take some level of responsibility for being completely careless does not mean I don’t understand.
I’ve stated many many times that the UI is obviously a problem. And while yes, it is generally the designer’s responsibility to protect the user from their own carelessness and stupidity, at some point the person is to blame for continuing to be careless when they are aware there is an issue.

Yet you are making fun of the OP because the hover tooltip says ‘DELETE’. Just stop man.
You’re so full of it.

Thank you for basically calling us careless and stupid. I take it you read all the terms and conditions when you install all programs and games then and you click that “check” button. Very intelligent guy. Please make sure to use this gifted intelligence well and serve humanity.

Not OP specifically (0 posts)… but those who see these threads daily and continue to be dumb.
Nah i know what you’re doing, nice back step attempt. You specifically came in this thread and specifically replied to the OP.
The difference is, if something is screwed up because of my negligence, I’m not going to go on the forums and try to garner pity with some tears.
This problem is a design flaw, not negligence on the user. Obviously.
See you in the next thread buddy! It wont be long.

Obviously there’s a design flaw and again… no one is arguing that, chief.
I cant help but be utterly confused as to why people think this is blizzards fault. I never even knew the button was there until I started seeing all these posts.

Look how many people are deleting their characters. Have you ever seen this before in a game? You dont think there may be a problem with the interface if that many people are deleting their characters?
Really!?

you are trolling people on their threads who are complaining to the devs, rightfully. And you back step. You are not even worth being taken seriously. I hope you feel accomplished and fulfilled.

Ya I think Im just going to ignore him like the other fool who can’t grasp the problem here.
Hate all you want, I’m sick of the same stupid threads again and again.
By the way, the tooltip that says “DELETE” shows up immediately on mouseover.
