Absolutely absurd. They’re trying to act like AVX is below minimum requirements, as though it was EVER a requirement. I played this during the beta without any issues what so ever. How do you even make this kind of silly mistake?
I’m never purchasing another game from this deceitful, awful company again and expect a refund on this. I only got it in the first place because I love Diablo and have played since I was a kid.
I thought Diablo 3 had the worst launch of a game ever - turns out Blizz can do much, much worse. I literally can’t even launch the game I pre-ordered, set time aside for, and eagerly waiting for launch. I counted the hours, even. I would gladly take server issues over this. This is the worst kind of betrayal.
Refund this game and wait for a patch, after watching this thread from the start, I promise you that it will not happen this week.

That was a nice attempt at gaslighting. Seems the meeting about the “update” was with lawyers. They knew exactly what they were doing.

they should of know that from the beginning, and if that was going to be the requirement then tell the public, before they buy it, this should of been done 8 months ago so players could be prepared on what THEY want to do

I think that we all had our share of bugs or problems in the close and open beta but one thing is sure is that more people could play those versions then the final one. So don’t tell us that when “adding” AVX as a requirement, is your way to ensure that as many people as possible can play, it’s just not right.

they did know, they just didnt have the money for the launch, this “IS” a bteam project
dont advertise and sell the product knowing that people cannot play because you never told the public what the requirements were going to be, and you changed from beta to now???

Coming from a long time, hardcore Diablo II player and Blizzard fan…
Blizzard really dropped the ball here and then for them to basically blame this issue on our specs not being good enough was just over the edge for me. AVX support was not listed as a required spec. There are plenty of other companies I can give my money to. This is the last time I buy any Blizzard product.
Unfortunately Blizzard is now an empty shell of what it used to be. Good luck to all. Peace.

thats why they have community developement managers
The way i see it, is that they did not intend on using it at first, since it was not in the beta. They worked on the game after the beta tests to improve it and started to use AVX. And now some of us can’t no longer play.
Two options:
- In Blizzard are dumb af.
- Blizzard is extremely elitist and didn’t think LOTS of people won’t be able to play because CPUs without AVX (which makes them really dumb).
like craftsman… just a name…
That below specs comment is a lie.
Will, check in later, since, right now, I am about to plug my internet into a computer that is actually way below spec, so I can play this game for a while…
test quickly please blizz, I would really prefer to play on my much better, computer, that happens to not have avx
Yeah but they told us that including AVX feature was never intended and we will get a fix from an earlier response, and now they changed what they said.

well if you have 50,000 playing and another 10,000 not playing because of AVX, and they are in the pockets of Dell and HP so those 10K will upgrade their systems then that is money in the bank for them, kickbacks or normal.
