Can we finally fix the fact that running completely negates armor in this game?
Maybe move on to desync from getting caught on objects and rubber banding back to them
Ive also found a list of quite a few other bugs that could be addressed as well.

but id rather the no armor and desync be fixed the most
Desync will probably be fixed indirectly by the 3d overlay on top of the older engine. Pretty sure the reason it is currently in the game is because the server is 25 fps and you can move faster than the game can update the locations to other players. It may still be present under the hood, but the newer 3d engine should have the capability to know where you are even if the old engine has not yet updated.
Can’t wait to see what type of new bugs this overlay will introduce.
it’s not a bug tho? And it’s not just “completely negates armor” it bypasses the chance to hit formula altogether, meaning attacker wouldn’t even have the default 5% chance to miss. Also your block gets reduced to 1/3rd.
It’s a new engine. The data files containing all the data, logic and rules are 20 years old.
There’s no way to make a win32 executable run on consoles or with a 4K pbr.
It’s just not physically possible. How do I know? I’m a game dev for another studio…
no where in the game ui or help does it tell you that running reduces your chance/ability to defend or block, which is why i consider it a bug. When you use berserk on barb it shows on the character page that your defense is 0
well that’s just d2, a lot of stuff isn’t mentioned anywhere in the game ui =)
Running turns your defense rating to zero. Blocking chance is one third.
Walking is the way where you maintain your defenses in battle.
This is a feature.

Let’s say that you took a hit that stunned you in FHR animation while running (zero defense). Your defense is not zero anymore, you have force stopped running and your defense will help evade the other attacks you will receive during recovery.
I wonder if the devs are going to do anything about this. Well, I’d certainly love it if running thing gets modified but since defense is about reducing chance to get hit, it is unlikely that they will. 
I’m looking forward to looking at the amazon and pally face while being armor glitched
Diablo 2 has so many hidden mechanics and nuances that aren’t explained in game. Do you consider faster cast rate breakpoints to be a bug because they aren’t in the game UI or /help menu?
Your logic is very flawed.
