Diablo 2 Console Is the wrong way

I love this game! I have already played diablo 2 beta two decades ago and I’m happy about Resurrected despite all the server problems.

On PS5 it is not possible to find a multiplayer game, I feel so alone… basically the best part about Diablo 2 is missing from consoles.

  • Please give us an overview of the currently running games.
  • Please bring back the lobbies to the console.
  • Please allow new members to join even in ongoing games.

I got my fingers crossed they fix this problem.

Same, currently motivation was lost to play because I realized matchmaking/communication is really bad atm. I bought the game for the online experience to be honest, really wish I had pc lol.

Yeah, D2 just worked so well with lobbies. So idk why the choice to remove them for console was decided. I know Mic’s and party chat are the new ways to communicate but the basic chat lobbies/game list was so easy to link up with other players. I’m on Xbox, so it’s all about creating game posts just to find people, which doesn’t work as well in my opinion.

Yea switch is a ghost town… I got lucky today and got in with one other experienced player for part of act 2 but they left before durial… and the one other player I got paired with didn’t know what to do and the emote wheel wasn’t enough to explain anything to him lol… they wondered around aimlessly… so in all I’ve had about 20 mins of actual group play on Switch since launch day lol. I have pc as well and it’s slightly better but even that lobby doesn’t work as well as the original… all the games are old and the refresh games list option doesn’t seem to do anything. But it’s still 100× better than console match making.

I love your game Blizzard but after 20 days the problems are only bigger.

I am looking for fellow players, help and trading items on external platforms… This is ruining my gaming experience. Not only that the servers are down almost every day, for hours, today after your update the PS5 PLAY BUTTON doesnt work!
