Everything Wrong with D2R

General Discussion
1
  1. No lobby system even remotely similar to Original Diablo II. No channels for people to hang out in or trade channels.
  2. Cannot cast skills over the poorly designed chat overlay
  3. Queue times. Pathetic.
  4. Crashing (Fixed)
  5. Crashing resulting in PC hangtime (Black screen when joining games)
  6. Overheating GPU’s
  7. Censored words in a M+ Game which cannot be disabled.
  8. Absolute FAILURE on Blizzard’s part to actively communicate buffs/nerfs about the game.
  9. Rate-Limiting - (Fixed!)
  10. Limited items on screen… How was this not optimized???
  11. Failure for Blizzard to take any responsibility for their broken game and give partial refunds.
  12. Spam Bots are out of control, Hire a moderator or something, Blizzard. You can afford one after we just spent all this money.
  13. Trash messaging system within the game.
  14. Added random “Lower Resist” to Chaos sanctuary without a word.
  15. Removed WSG without a word.
  16. Changed Cold Mastery to pierce, then changed it back a month later, without a word.
  17. Dclone event is broken. This system was put in place long ago to prevent the enormous amount of duped SOJs being on Nonladder. Outdated!
  18. Overly using PC resources on the Character selection screen and memory/data leaks.
  19. Blizzard’s inabilty to handle high capacity of players with such a high income from the game.
  20. Rollbacks (Do it to everyone not just a select few if you’re going to do it)
  21. Teleport Sprite glitching
  22. Strength bugging removed without any communication.
  23. Ebugging removed without any communication.
  24. Tomb viper Physical bug still exists.
  25. Telekinesis doesn’t work behind walls and is now working on red portals, of course, without any communication form Blizzard.
  26. Lobby refresh screen will only show the fastest pinged games to your client.
  27. Americas Server split in 2 with no way to easily figure out which one you are on.
  28. When browsing through the lobby, clicking one game will show time/players, but then clicking another one will show nothing.
  29. Refreshing the lobby with the ‘refresh’ button does NOTHING.
  30. (Fixed)
  31. Stash is still too small. Requires many mules still.
  32. No stackables for obvious stackable items such as runes, gems, or keys.
  33. Trading is non-existent unless used through d2jsp

  • No lobby system even remotely similar to Original Diablo II. No channels for people to hang out in or trade channels.
    Nothing is wrong with this, Blizzard decided to change things to update the game, as they said they were going to prior to release.

  • Cannot cast skills over the poorly designed chat overlay
    You never could. Try clicking on the area that is not overlay.

  • Queue times. Pathetic.
    Yes this is only a temp fix.

  • Crashing (Basic)
    All games are victim to this

  • Crashing resulting in PC hangtime (Black screen when joining games)
    All games are victim to this

  • Overheating GPU’s
    Not the only game that does this, seems to be a new standard across the
    board

  • Censored words in a M+ Game which cannot be disabled.
    Because the game is produced by Blizzard, and a product on their site,
    Maybe read ToS next time.

  • Absolute FAILURE on Blizzard’s part to actively communicate buffs/nerfs about the game.
    No there’s not, most of this was done back in classic with details on each.

  • Rate-Limiting - Let’s break this down into 3 parts
    9a. Creating a game: If the game is made already, you get rate-limited for 1 minute. (So basically buttheads can make the game and you wouldn’t know, and get rate-limited.
    9b. Attempting to join a game too soon will rate-limit you for 1 minute if the creator didn’t create fast enough, resulting in a high possibly of losing your spot.
    9c. Spelling a game name wrong will rate-limit you for 1 minute.

    This was implemented back in classic to battle the bots joining or making
    games. Just sucks the queue system had to be implemented as temp fix for
    the server loads.

  • Limited items on screen… How was this not optimized???
    Because it is. You have the option not to limit these items on screen, it’s just
    a simple uncheck of the box in options.

  • Failure for Blizzard to take any responsibility for their broken game and give partial refunds.

        Again a simple read of the TOS/EULA covers this.

  • Spam Bots are out of control, Hire a moderator or something, Blizzard. You can afford one after we just spent all this money.

     Or just block them. Works fine.

  • Trash messaging system within the game.

       Works fine, I chat with people all the time while in game.

  • Added random “Lower Resist” to Chaos sanctuary without a word.

    No they didn't.

  • Removed WSG without a word.

    No they didn't, or people wouldn't be complaining about WSG in PVP.

  • Changed Cold Mastery to pierce, then changed it back a month later, without a word.

    Playing a cold sorc as I type, and I'm looking at "Cold Mastery" in the tree.

  • Dclone event is broken. This system was put in place long ago to prevent the enormous amount of duped SOJs being on Nonladder. Outdated!

     Not broken. People liked this feature, so they kept it.

  • Overly using PC resources on the Character selection screen and memory/data leaks.

        Seems to be more on an individual basis. If this was something to with game itself, everyone would experience it. But not everyone is. It's a small portion. Maybe you should turn down the over clocking.

  • Blizzard’s inabilty to handle high capacity of players with such a high income from the game.

     Seems they are working on this issue. As they have implemented that queue you previously mentioned, and more people can actually log into game.

  • Rollbacks (Do it to everyone not just a select few if you’re going to do it)

      Again seems most games are affected by roll back, seems to be an issue most gaming developers struggle with.

  • Teleport Sprite glitching

  • Strength bugging removed without any communication.

  • Ebugging removed without any communication.

    Both of these were mentioned they are getting removed prior to the release. 
You must have missed it on the pre-release notes.

  • Tomb viper Physical bug still exists.

    Tomb Vipers are not a bug, again covered in OG notes.

  • Telekinesis doesn’t work behind walls and is now working on red portals, of course, without any communication form Blizzard.

    yes Line of sight exists in D2R, the same as it did in D2.

  • Lobby refresh screen will only show the fastest pinged games to your client.

    Then why do i get all the slow pinged lobbies also?

  • Americas Server split in 2 with no way to easily figure out which one you are on.

       Does it matter?

  • When browsing through the lobby, clicking one game will show time/players, but then clicking another one will show nothing.

     these are those slower ping games you said don't show up.

  • Refreshing the lobby with the ‘refresh’ button does NOTHING.

    This is broken. We have the first broken thing you've mentioned.

  • Joining a full game results in rate-limited 1 minute timer, even if the game was appearing on your lobby screen.

     Again this part of that fix in the OG coding to combat bots.  Seems Blizzard is struggling to read and decode the code.

  • Stash is still too small. Requires many mules still.

     Subjective, nothing broken on this. Some people say it's too much.

  • No stackables for obvious stackable items such as runes, gems, or keys.

      There never were stackables, so nothing broken here.

  • Trading is non-existent unless used through d2jsp

       JSP goes against ToS/EULA. Maybe try the trade forums. They work just fine. But they don't accept cash payments.

  • No updates yet on the future of the game.

    Because right now it seems the servers need the fullest attention. Game updates can wait until the servers are fixed. You brought the server up prior, did you forget?

  • Chat breaking every other day and/or lagging insanely.

        Chat works fine.

Hey look a blizzard shareholder who thinks the game is working great LMFAO, way to make 35 excuses for their garbage coding/development.

Legit the response of a Blizzard die hard fan/Employee who will go down burning along with the company

  • Cannot cast skills over the poorly designed chat overlay
    You never could. Try clicking on the area that is not overlay.

But you’re plain wrong on so many accounts:
You could use skills over the chat messages that came in Diablo 2, in the top left corner.
They didn’t affect where you could click, they just limited vision.

In D2R, if many people are talking in your lobby, you cannot teleport southwest, or cast any skills in that direction, if your mouse is near/over those messages.
This is gamebreaking, and dangerous for Hardcore.
I’ve died in softcore due to not being able to teleport far southwest when needing to teleport out of an extra fast fanaticism aura pack’s swarm, failing to teleport twice because of chat.

It needs to be a passive overlay when you’re not in town.

There was no 1 minute timeout when failing to join full games in classic, you could quit and leave games in seconds, for as long as you didn’t break the passive-aggressive invisible server rules.
Though I much prefer the 1 minute timeout to the passive-agressive 20 minute to 24 hour ban for transgressing invisible 12 games per hour boundaries and quitting and reentering games too quickly for the server to save your characters properly – for as long as you followed the “wait for the Dum Dum”-rule, you could leave and enter games in 5 seconds.

However, trying to join full games or games that did not exist did not count towards that limit, and did not force delays or bans in classic.

I’m sure I’ve checked the settings improving items on screen, but I still get the sobering unique popping out after I pick up gold and potions;
The game does not display the names for all the items on the ground, just a select few, with no regard to rarity.

The block list actually has limited space.
My D2 block list got full, and thus stopped working, and this new list is probably the same.

The messaging system is in fact thrash, you’re just reaching at this point.
The “Reply” function has not worked any time I’ve received a message from anyone – and I’ve received messages clearly not ment for me regarding ongoing trades, that I could not reply to in order to clear up the mistakes.
Chat doesn’t work in many cases, while in a game, which makes trading extremely challenging.

Lower resist absolutly is cast by mages in the chaos sanctuary in D2R.
…you’ll discover this when you ever get to act 4.

Claw vipers are a bug.
There is literally no way they are ment to deal normal difficulty MELEE 1 attack damage to players EVERY FRAME they are MOVING in the poison cloud in Normal, Nightmare and Hell and CAN BLOCK THIS DAMAGE WITH A SHIELD – while standing still in the could prevents all damage.
That is clearly buggy behavior on so many levels, so I’m just going to list them all:
-It uses the attack damage from one specific melee attack from Normal difficulty in all difficulties.
-It applies melee damage to an area of effect over time poison cloud that reapplies poison damage each tick; They should have used skill damage from the difficulty, and should not have used melee attack damage, if it was intended.
-The damage source is melee, so your character attempts to block the damage every frame. As a magical area of effect attack, it should not be blockable.
-Standing still prevents any damage from being done. Again, that does not make sense if the idea was an acidic cloud.
-It deals more damage per second than the ubers are capable of, versus 75% all resist, if you move, or are moved.
-Damage tick every frame as opposed to normal damage over time tick rates of every 3rd frame

…I pin this on miscommunication between devs, if lead devs believe this is working as intended, because it’s clearly bugged on several levels, no matter the intention behind the skill. Any dev believing the Tomb Vipers aren’t bugged are misinformed and have not actually looked at nor understand how the skill works.

Servers being split matters a whole freaking lot when two players in the same household cannot play together because one is assigned to one server and the other on another server and cannot join with game name and password.

Subjective, nothing broken on this. Some people say it’s too much.

Okay.
Now you’re just trolling, nobody – literally nobody – said this unless theyt want the game to fail because they want it to be worse than PoE.

And chat is bugged in many ways.
Some games you cannot talk at all, there is no chat lobbies.

Chat a was never in the top left corner.

The rest is just a rant and will treated as such.

10

Boooo get off the stage!

11

what stage? the same one you’re using?

12

Boooooooooo!!! You stink!

13

Probably, I didn’t shower yet. But this has nothing to with D2R, so why are you spamming? I’m more than happy to entertain your spamming off topic inflammatory remarks if you still wish me too.

14

hearing this in Homer Simpson voice.

“don’t you hate pants!?”

15

First point and most important should be .Character faces models and some animations are not same as old one.Example Paladin charge skill looks and feels terrible.I am waiting for mod or something because I can’t stay with this in long run.

16

I have one big addition.
There is no ladder!

17

To be fair, if i had that much arguments against the game i would simply uninstall it and never play it again.

Cause, it seems you hate a lot of thing on this game, you even seems to hate more than you like about this game.

So yeah, my only advice ( i’m sure it would be good for your mental health), go bnet and click uninstall, and of course, never look back, just move along and continue your life.

18

…have you literally never played Diablo 2…?

Chat did not prevent the use of skills, and started in the top left corner and extended down – with no limit on how far down it could go.

But no matter how much chat there was, it didn’t prevent clicking.

I have played Diablo, D2/D2LOD, D3 and now playing D2R. Thanks for asking, but please give more information on what I have or haven’t played has anything to with what wrong with D2R.
