In an effort to both help the D2R developers to improve the game by squashing bugs and implementing QoL features, I am starting a comprehensive list where other forum users can contribute by posting here with any bugs you find, or QoL features you would like to see. I will add your name next to the item (bug or QoL feature you suggest) so we know that it is community driven.
Bugs:
-
Visual bug – Follower exp bar looks full at all times.
-
Ancients Quest – If a sorceress uses telekensis on the alter, it bugs the encounter, and a town portal must be opened to reset the encounter. Only a character manually clicking on the alter starts the encounter.
-
Still experiencing crashes randomly, ill keep my eye out on what activities im doing more closely to put in specific instances of crashes
-
Visual bug – sometimes mobs and bosses look like they are a few yards away from you, yet they are doing their melee animation and hitting you from yards away.

Stash gold counter acts funky from time to times, saying I got 0 gold. When you switch between acts that counter sometimes resets. --------Contributed by Ulysses31

When picking up the Horadric Mallus, the Sorc would say “I hope the sisters appreciate this thing” or something to that effect. That voice queue seems to be gone. --------Contributed by Francois424
-
When the NPC audio is set to “Audio and Text” all NPC and PC audio is gone as well as Cinematic sounds. ----------Contributed by OddBall
QoL:
-
Lobby / Game Join / Creation – When clicking on a game in the lobby, the Game Name bar does not populate with the name of the game you clicked on. This was a feature of the original diablo 2 battle net lobby. It made joining new games easier because the name would populate and all you had to do was change the game number to the next highest to join the next.
-
Lobby Game Browser Filter - Often times when looking for games, most games have been opened for quite awhile, thus players don’t want to join games that typically have been opened and monsters have already been killed, especially as it relates to baal or chaos runs or other exp run games. Adding filters to the game list would help. So if you only wanted to see games created in the last 5 minutes, you could. ----Contributed by Cyx
-
Withdrawing gold – when clicking on withdraw gold from your stash, the full gold amount is auto populated. If you want to get less out than what it populated with, you have to manually click in the box, and hit the backspace key until its erased and then type in the amount you want to withdraw. It should be highlighted or be allowed to mouse click and drag to highlight the amount and simply hit the delete key to remove the amount from the box. Its just tedious to withdraw gold at the moment.
-
Depositing gold - when depositing gold and the particular stash tab you are depositing to is not yet full, but almost full, and you click deposit from your character backpack, it wont deposit unless its an exact amount. It should deposit any gold up to the amount of the stash tab being full and leave the rest in your character backpack.
-
Item linking – You cant currently link items to people not in your game. Should have a way if they are in a diablo 2 lobby, or in a diablo 2 game to receive item links from people in other games if they are being whispered or on your friends list.
-
Trading – Some blizzard official trade website would be amazing. Something similar to PoE’s trade website would make it 100x easier to connect with people to get trades done. Stash tabs would need to be dynamic and linked to a trade website API, but it could be done with development effort. Or some sort of official blizzard “forum gold” system where people could trade “forum gold” for items. D2jsp is the unofficial site where items are traded with their forum gold, but would be nice to have an official blizzard site to trade with some API integration to make trading easier. In essence, more trades would get done, and the economy would flow a whole lot cleaner if trading was more accessible. Imagine being able to right click an item in your stash and set a rune amount that you want for it, and it being listed on blizzard’s official trade website so other players looking for that item could click 1 button and an automated whisper dialogue is created for them to whisper you in game to get that trade done.
-
Armory – would be nice to click on a player avatar in the lobby and view their current gear / skill setup.
-
In game, game reset – Would be really nice if there was a way to have an in game vote system where if the majority of players in the game wanted to “reset” the current game, instead of everyone leaving the game, then manually typing in the next game, the game would just “reset” and everyone would be at the starting position in whatever town they were currently in, and all the mobs and bosses and chests and lootable things would be reset allowing you to continue your runs, without leaving the game. The game creator would have to initiate the vote.
-
Expand the lobby system – the current lobby feels very basic and no where near the robustness of the original D2 bnet lobby. IE, in the old lobby, you could search for trade channels, or other chat channels, you could create your own lobby channels etc.
-
Stackable gems & runes – In Diablo 2, gold is basically a useless form of currency for the purposes of trading. Runes and Gems have unofficially taken the place of currency in the game. If we are to have this as a medium of trade, then the lower and mid runes which are much more abundant than the high runes would serve as the common trading currency. Stackable runes would then be necessary because of the nature of how they can be combined to make higher runes. Not only would it be an inventory saver, it would also make it to where most unique items and rare items in the game could be traded for several runes of the lower quality without filling up someones inventory. Maybe a “rune & gem currency stash tab” would be the place where they would all go and again, they would serve as the “official” trading currency of the game.
-
More stash tabs – Should have a way for players to either earn more stash tabs, or buy them as micro transactions. This would give blizzard another revenue source, and make players happy who like engaging in gear collecting / trading. Make the stash tabs reasonably priced. Maybe 2-3 bucks per tab.
-
Loot filters - an option to create loot filters would be really nice. Everything being white colored in the game that isnt magic, rare, unique, set, or rune can make you miss something you want but just didn’t see due to item clutter and no visible way to be eye catching. Some people want to pick up certain bases and would be nice to have a loot filter highlight them. Some people would rather not see “useless” sets and uniques, and would like to filter those out -------- Contributed by Nav

Shift +click to identify item (or right click the identify book, then hold shift and you can identify any items in your inventory by clicking on them once without having to go back to the identify book to right click it again to identify 1 item) --------- Contributed by Nav
-
Social Improvements - I would like to see my friends joining games, being able to talk to them easier with /r and /f m or atleast something better than always clicking on chat boxes to switch around and missing what is said in game etc its so frustrating, social system needs lots of improvements -----------Contributed by Kappa
